The meeting of the Salem Commer

'of work presented to bring more peo

The principal speakers were W. B.
Coman, the popular manager of the
Harrlman lines In Western Oregon,
and Thos. Richardson, late of New
Orleans, who has been secured by the
Commercial Club of Portland to or
ganize a state development league.
The gentleman delivered an earnest j
and at times eloquent afdress of near
ly an hour's length, and at several
places he was heartily applauded. The
meeting demonstrated that that the
business men and property owners of
Salem are thoroughly alive to the ne
cessity of encouraging all methods of
promotion and development that come
Into reach, and a vote of thanks was
extended to the distinguished visitors
for their presenco and encouraging ad
dresses. Correspondence Committee.

inent and enterprising citizens who
were present. About' a dozen of the
club officers and workers for promo
tion enterprises had met tho gentle
men at an elegant dinner at Hotel
Willamette, where Oregon cherries,
peaches and crab salad, fresh from
Yaqulna bay, were served as delica
cies of the season. After cigars, all
repaired to tho city hall, and, as a re
sult of the heart-to-heart talk with the
ofllcors and leaders of the Commercial
Club, a correspondence committee on
a large scale will be organized at once,
,by means of which hundreds of peo
ple will be set at work writing to
their frleml3 and relatives In the
East, and mailing them literature and
papers. In his address and after
meeting talk Mr. Richardson empha
sized the value of tho local papers as
an advertising medium to bring set
tlerjs, far above tho pamphlets that
are sent out. Tho latter are discount
ed as "railroad literature and boom
literature generally," and outlived
their day. Personal letters and the
local papera are alone worth using,
he says.
Local Workers Speak.
Some excellent speeches were made
by local workers for the expansion of
Salem. R. J. Hendricks spoke of the
good work done by tho Commercial
Club In the past few years In promot
ing enterprises that were bearing
fruit in all dlrectlbns at present. May
or Waters spoke of tho grand results
to bo obtained by the spirit of co-operation,
and that were making their
influence felt in securing extension of
motor lines In several directions. We
must build up the outlying country,
he said, if wo would reach the great
est results in the city. The city lived
from tho growth of the country.
Prank N. Derby spoke of tho splendid
spirit of tho Salem people, and their
readiness and willingness to take hold
of the opportunities that presented
themselves for the upbuilding of the
city. They were ready and willing to
take hold of any meritorious enter
prise. County Judge '3cott spoke of
the transforming influence of better
roads, and how the suburban and
farming lands could be made more
valuable by bringing In more people
and sMns th ""er means of com-
the common sense views of the gen
tlemen who had spoken for tho de-
veiopment league.

PUBLIC "
LIGHTING
PLANTS
Several Propositions
Will Be Made to
the City
Statements in Favor of the
Success of Municipal
Ownership Else'
where
Mayor Waters and the committee
to whom are to be submitted water
powers and propositions for public
lighting plant3, have heard of several
properties that will be placed before
them In writing, and one of them no
less than tho NorTii Salem "Water pow
er and mill property. All who have
available water powers and property
suitable to be converted Into a light
ing plant for the city of Salem should
at once get their propositions Into
tangible shape, and submit them,
with a flat price at which the property
can be obtained.
It should be remembered that in
September the present lighting con
tract with the city expires, and what
ever action is taken for tho submis
sion of this matter to a vote of tho
people under the present charter will
have to be taken at once. Tho next
legislature may take away the power
of the people to get a direct vote on
this matter, and then tho opportunity
will be gone. Under the preisent char
ter the people can acquire a lighting
plant independent of tho city council,
and that action should be followed up
by Installing a plant thnt will guar
antee cheaper lights to the city and
to the consumer.
Reduced Bills One-Half.
J. Conner, proprietor of the Willam
ette Hotel, of this city, was seen Fy a
Journal reporter, relative to tho pro
posed public ownership of an electric
1 lighting plant. Mr. Conner, some
months ago, installed a private gat
plant, from which he has since lighted
his hotel, as an avenue of escape from
what he considers exhorbitant prices
imposed by tho lighting company. Mr.
Conner Invested about $400 in his
plant, having a capacity of 200 lights
of 100 candlo power each, rind has
since been able to do tho lighting at
the unsual figure of $20 per month.
Ho admits that he does not like tho
light as well as first-class electricity
service, but since he could not get
good lighting service from tho com
pany, he felt this was the best way.
Ho has reduced his bill from ono-half,
and Increased tho efficiency of his
light nearly 100 per cent. At tho same
time, he is frank enough to admit
that In a public place, where every
body handles the light, and It Is used
In all tho way from 25 to 250 places
In the building, ho prefers electricity.
As a natural consequenco, Mr. Conner
Is very much In favor of the city of
Salem conducting a lighting business,
either by purchasing the present
plant and operating It, or by putting
in a new plunt of Its own.
What an Ohio Town Has Done.
Mr. Henry Hartman, of Wapakone
ta, Ohio, a town of 5000 inhabitants,
Is in the city, visiting his cousins, tho
Barr brothers and sisters. He Is In
the Jowelry business In his town, and
Is taking an extended vacation In tho
West. Ho Is especially Interested In
tho movement agitated hero of the
city ownership of a lighting plant,
and told The Journal reporter of his
city's experience In that lino. They
expended about $10,000 on their plant.
Tho public aro furnished Incandescent
lights at 50 cents each per month, and
In buildings using over 12 lights 35
cents each per month. Two thousand
power arc lamps aro furnished at
$5 per month. This has been In opera
tion for flvo years, and, he says. Is
proving a great success. Their city Is
one of the host lighted In that section,
and the enterprise Is paying a noat
profit, even at the low rates chargod,
as the last statement shows a surplus
of above $2000, after paying interest
on tho Investment, wear and tear and
all running expenses. He says the
people of any city have a right to get
their light at tho lowest possible flfr
ure, and that plonty of light, public
and private, Is a necessity. Neighbor
ing towns la Ohio that havo not yet
put In lighting Bystenfs, or havo light
furnished by private corporations, are
Bending committees to investigate tho
Wapakoneta plan, and all bocomo sat
isfied that public ownership is the
right thing.
Mr. Hartman is not a member of tho
council, nor has ho been connected
with the state government In any way
since this enterprise has been started.
He Is a director In the People's Na
tional Bank, of that city, arid, Is proud
of the fact that he halls from1 an en
terprising, up-to-date place.
