One of the Important elections for
next month is that of school director.
The last legislature in fixing up the

to expire this year instead of one . A.
A. Lee, who has served five years, and
E. T. Barnes, who has served four years,
are the out-going directors, according to
the new law. The election will be held
for two directors Monday, June 18. The
board of education handles about $150,-

ed next month will have something to

several new books at the public library.
"Tho Issue," by J. W. Headlin is one
of the latest received. The author main
tains that the three issues are, the At
lantic, involving domination of the
seas; the east, centering around Turkey
and German patronage of Mohnmmadan
ism; the European, touching on the pre
ponderance Of Gorman i iCurope. He
claims that only by tnu defeat of Ger
many can the questions be satisfactorily
settled. "The Hilltop of the Marne"
is another book in a series of letters by
a woman who lived on the battle field.
There is also a book for those who wish
to learn something about our navy. It
gives all details of the various types of
vessels Of the navy and a lot of infor
mation about guns that the landsman

CUTS DOWN RATES FOR
Public Utility Commission Re
duces Charges of Portland
Ry Light & Power Co.
Reductions in the rates ef the Port
land Itnilwny, Light and Tower com
pany for residence lighting and com
mercial power made by the Oregon
public service commission this morning
propose to save to the consumer from .
siity five to seventy thousand dollars
each year. This order goes into effect
twenty days from tho date of t tie or-,
der, and charges the company to dis-,
continue the rates that have been
found to be unreasonable and to sub-!
stitute tin) rates and practices found,
under conditions now surrounding the
operation of the utility, to be just and
reasonable.
The investigation of the rates of the
company was made ou the commission's
own motion and the reducing of the
rates follows the fixing of the valued
of the company's electric, city rail
way, interurban railway, gas and non
utility operations. Tho talera gas util
ity is fixed at a value of .fi!U,7'J7.24.
Illustrative of the reduction made iu
the rates, the order shows that under
the old rate the consumer paid $1.00
for 11 hilowat hours and under the new
rates he will pay the same money for
13 kilowat hours. Formerly for 110 kil-
owat hours he paid tl.tiO while under
the new rate he will pay 1.4!l; for t!
kilowat hours, he formerly paid $1.25
while now he will pay about $1.11.
Jn the matter of the rates on com
mercial power, it was the aim of the
commission to fix a rate that would
give universal justice to all consum
ers as against a system that favored
some consumers as against others. This
condition was found to obtain m.th;
rates charged some consumers, and all
were not being treated alike; m other
words, the company discriminated, it
was tho aim of the commission to rem-1
edy this and fix a rate that would be
universal in its application.
