WHAT 1800 FAMILIES KNOW
ABOUT ELECTRIC COOKING
TI I EY will tell you it is a new kind of luxury
one that doesn't cost more to enjoy.
Of course you have always appreciated the ad
vantages of cooking by electricity. You know that
it means no more fuel to carry; no more ashes to
lug. You, know that electricity is the ideal cook
ing heat; economical because it is turned on when
you need it not before; turned off when you're
through not later.
, Butperhapsyou would like to know exactly what
it costs in dollars and cents. The 1800 satisfied
families who now use electric ranges served with
electricity by this companj' would gladly show
you their bills, if they could.
We have made an average of these bills, so that
we may give you the facts. The average cost of ,
electric lights alone in all homes served by this
company in Oregon is ?2.20 a month. The aver-'
age cost of their electric lights and electric cook
ing together is f 5.62 a month.
For the difference, could you buy ordinary fuel
for cooking? And if you could, would you want
to ? Whenever you decide to investigate this ques
tion of electric cooking closely, your nearest deal
er will tell you many interesting things. And he
is prepared to install your new electric range at
once, on convenient terms.

WITH the twang of a clock
spring, carried over a short
stretch of wire one June day in
1875, came a discovery that was
to be of incalculable valuer to
mankind. On that day the tele
phone was born, and a new
vocation came into being,
the' profession of telephone
engineering.
Today, 49 years later, a host
of men, successors of Bell and
his single assistant, are applying
their trained abilities to the
complex problems of meeting
the nation's demand for tele
phone service. They explore the
unknown and adapt the known
in Science. They bring the
thoroughness of specialists to the
tasks of construction, operation,
management. Their common
objective is an improved service
whereby man may substitute his
voice for his physical presence -in
distant places.
Engineered and not hap
hazard -effort has brought the
triumphs that mark advances in
the convenience of the telephone.
Because of this effort. there is
a communion of communities
without which America, as we
know it, could not exist.

Destruction Must
Be Repaired
It Costs Millions Each Year
To Maintain Our Highways
CAUSE AND EFFECT
The Highway Commission finds 90 of the damage is caused by 4 of the traffic. This 4.
includes for-hire trucks and busses operating as common carriers for their private gain.
The last Legislature passed a law requiring these for-hire busses and trucks to pay a moderate
charge to reimburse the State and Counties in part only for the damage these heavy busses and
trucks are doing to the highway. Whether this law becomes effective May 28, 1925, rests with the
people. ' '. ';.''.. '
The Motor Bus and Freight Truck Associations are circulating referendum petitions to hold up
this law until November, 1926. If the people sign these referendum petitions, the private car ownerB
and the general taxpayer will continue to pay the tremendous cost of maintaining these highways
without receiving substantial help or aid from'these for-hire trucks and busses that are doing most
of the damage. v ,
When you are asked to sign one"of these petitions remember that it is a commercial bus or truck
company that is asking you to relieve them of paying for the great damage that they are doing to
our roads. ' ''. ' ,
Eefuse to sign these petitions and advise your neighbors to do the same.
