state railroad commission to ncnu on, u possiuio a com
peting public utility from being granted a franchise.
Tho company claims that it is losing money in Mcdfovu
and takes n crack at the city, as if tho city was to ultimo
for its own mis-management. It says tho city has lost
population and that in its opinion, a competing franchise
would be almost a crime. , . , , .,
If the Oregon Gas and Electric Company, which by tho
wav is n branch of the California gns trust organized to
milk Oregon towns for tho benefit of non-residents, have
made a poor investment and cannot make both ends meet,
it is its own fault. "When it purchased the plant from its
promoters, it did not have a sou-sustaining paironngu juui
its policy of antagonizing everyone it did business with,
has not increased its popularity.
If the state railroad commission has power to provent
legitimate competition that will reduce tho cost of gas to
tho consumer, it should bo abolished. But it has no such
power, and the appeal is as useless as it is absurd.
Next tho gas companv will bo asking lor an injunction
to restrain the power company from furnishing electric
lights and heat in competition, ana to increase us raira
enough to pay interest on waiercusiut-K.
The more competition the bettor, aud the lower the
rates, the better.
SIGN UP FOR WATER.
IF you want things to hum in tho Jx'oguo river vaitey, ncip
secure the construction of the irrigation system.
. . . t 4
The main reason people tire not flocking here as a
couple of years ago, is because orchards are not irrigated.
People understand pretty thoroughly that water is essen
tial for fruit growing.
If you want the tonnage of fruit and produce shipped
from here that is shipped from other fruit and garden dis
tricts, you must get water on to the land.
If you want to make barren land productive, got water
upon it no matter what tho cost, the water will pay it.
If 3'ou want to increase the value of your land, ami to
mnkr if. nil nrnduetivG. iilaco it under irrigation.
Upon irrigation depends the valley's future. Now is
the time to secure it and have water all over the valley by
tho timo tho Panama fair brings its thousands of home
seekers aud colonists.
If you own land yourself, sign up. If you have a friend
that owns, urge him to. You have twenty years to pay
