NEW YORK. April 24. Opportu
nlty knocked at Fred Fulton's door
last night, but Fred was out.
Tho giant Hochcstor, Minn., plas-
torer, one of America's cleverest, yet
most knocked out heavyweight pu
gilists, gave ground beforo tho light
punches of Floyd Johnson of tho west
and was outpointed in their twelve
round contest In Jersey City. John
son received the decision of news
papermen at the ringside.
Fulton was not hurt by Johnson's
many punches. After a few rounds
he made little effort to defend him
self and shot only an occasional
punch to Johnson's body or head.
Had he punched Johnson in ' the
earlier rounds as ho did in the last.
he would havo won easily.

On a busy street corner in
San. Diego, a checker stood
and asked the first hundred
motorists that passed:
"What gasoline do you use,
and why?" 52 of them an
swered "Red Crown," as
against 16 for the brand
showing the next highest
preference a lead of 2 20 .
Not only in San Diego, but
throughout the Pacific
Coast field, Red Crown
is the popular gasoline, be
cause it vaporizes com
pletely, burns cleanly, and
is uniform always and

An IiitcrcKtliiK Play.
What one enjoys depends upon
what one exports. If you expect a
bumiuet and are served with soup
and prunes, you cull it a rotten meal,
and yet tho soup and prunes may
havo been excellent. In fuct If you
happened to bo starving on a desert
isle and a plato of boum and a dish of
prunes were suddenly presented to
you when you expected nothing bet
ter thnn tree bark and rain water,
you would proclaim tho repnst better
thnn any banquet you ever attended.
-, So with tho stage Those who at
tended "Tho Wheel of Life" with
Klsle Forguson as tho stnr at tho
Pago lust night, expecting to get n
banquet were no doubt disappointed
And .those who expected mnrshmel-
low sundaes and. macaroons were also
disappointed. And thoBo who expect
ed some novel and exotic dish with
an awful wallop In It. were also dis
appointed. But those who expected
merely boarding house fare were
thrilled to pieces, and tho present
scribe for some reason expected that,
Therefore, "Tho Wheel of Life"
was a surprisingly interesting' play.
full of thought and humor and dra
matic action, splendidly staged and
exceedingly well done. The play
might be termed a revival, a revival
of a very old Idea, such a thoroughly
old-fashioned mid-Victorian idea,
that it had tho offect of something
quito refreshing and now.
A spirited, somewhut unconven
tional daughtor with many sisters, of
marriageable ngo, becomes the bride
of a middlo-agod British army colonel
in tho Indinn service, and quite ex-
pectedly falls in love with a young
and handsome English captain. In
othor words tho eternal triangle. But
while tho young wlfo was quite mod
em In her frank wooing, the young
captain was essentially the pre-war
type of English gentleman. Ho had
scruples, and high moral principles
and a strict code of what a gentleman
should do. So when he found he was
hopelessly enamoured ho decided to
leave the regiment and go to a Iron
tier post where he could forgot his
passion and either get killed or bo
come a field marshal. .
He went. And Ruth Dnngan went
too, quite properly, on a research cx
pcdltion conducted by her brother-in
law by marriage, George Farakor,
properly chaperoned by Mrs. Faraker,
who smoked cigarettes. Then the
party was besei'ged in a Buddhist
Monasters-, the relief expedition wns
reported ambushed and .destroyed.
and death for all hands was pro
claimed for the following morning.
With tho battle of life over, Mrs.
Dang.-m and Captain Yeullat foil into
each others arms, after- a splendid
scone of strong but very decent pas
sion, nnd then of course, tho relief
expedition arrived with Colonel Dan
gan nt its head, overjoyed at .finding
his wife alive, and determined! to
dedicate his declining years to her
happiness, to the woman who wns
his wlfo nnd -child, nnd so essential
to-hls ruthuo : pathetic happiness.
Tho dramatic possibilities aro ob
vious, and both Miss Ferguson nnd
the playwright, , James Bernard
Fngan, made tho most of them. In
stead of falling Into melodrama nnd
sentimental violence, such as killing
off the husband on the parapet, Mr,
Fngan did tho only proper and artis
tic thing and returned Mrs. Dangnn
to her husband, to the tune of a con
vincing exposition of Buddhist doc
trine, by a high priest - of Thibet,
which provided the renl theme of tho
play, namely, the only lasting nnd
non-illusive love is unselfish love,
tho love of self-sacrifice.'
In this age of moral collapse, sex
ual promiscuity, Jazz, Hollywood,
marathon dancing and what not, this
interpretation of the "Wheel of Life'
camo as a great surprise and a re
freshing one. Romantically it took
one back to Richard Harding Davis,
and Anthony Hope nnd in some par
ticulars even to 'Hall Culnc. But It
was not romantic slush, thore was
renllty and flbro both In theme, and
treatment.
'
Mies Ferguson was good to look at,
showed intelligence and emotional
power, but somehow she was less
convincing than her, support which
was mado up almost entirely of men
Englishmen, fine figures In their
uniforms, dress, undress and service,
and splendid actors. Tho best bit of
acting, perhaps- hectuse It was the
easiest, was done by Eric Cowley ns
George Farakor, tho profcssoriul
typo bent on Indian research, a do
llghtful combination of a Mr. Butt
inski and Mr. Flxlt. Mr. Cowloy sup
plied tho humorous lubrication to tho
dramatic machinery, which without
him would most certainly have do
vclopcd engine trouble, nnd perhaps
become stalled completely somewhere

consumers has grown from 6,561 to 13,123, an increase of
lOO'c.

The Company owns and operates seven hydro-electric
plants in Southern Oregon and Northern California. It lias
never resorted to generation of electricity by steam power.
In building these hydro-electric plants, a natural resource is
being developed which will be productive forever.

the end of 1922, it amounted to 52,580 H. P.
The Company's high tension lines at the end of 1922 were
over six hundred miles in length. .
The aggregate length of the distribution lines was over
' eight hundred and ten miles.
The investment needed for the construction of these fa
cilities has increased from $4,189,325.76 in 1912 to $10,293,
569.69 in 1922
