SEVEN eeM4MMi SERVICE TALK NO. 4 Don't put all your eggs in one basket" You all know that the above is good advice because if the handle broke, or the bottom dropped out, you would lose ALL your eggs. ........ The same principle holds true in the Electric Service business. If you put or have all your dollars invested in one power house and something goes wrong with that power house, as sometimes happens, you cannot give your customers service until the same can be repaired and put into commission again. un me oiner nana u an Electric service company nas several eeneraui plants connected together with transmission lines, and one plant is accident or otnerwise snut down, tne other plants send the electricity lntof the pla that is shut down over the transmission lines and it is then sent eut again : the customers that are supplied from that plant, over what are called di tribution wires or circuits. If a plant in such a system is down on purpose to make some repairs, tl electricity from the other plants is turned into the distribution circuit H fore the plant is shut down and the result is that the customers do not evt know when the change is made. It is almost always necessary to have a steam power electric nlant plants to supply power during the months of the year that there is not su: ficient water to operate the water power plant, or plants, and if there is oril one such steam plant in the system and something happens to it, as very often does during the low water period, the customers of such plant are very apt to be without service for several days, weeks, or even months, according; tthe seriousness of the breakdown in the steam plant or the stage of .water. in. .the! stream that drives the water power plant. This company has four steam power plants and four water power plants. 'or eight plants in all. The result is that we supply almost CONTINUQyS service to our customers, because if one or two or even three ' ofourfpljlnts break down, we can supply all our customers from the remaininglafitsP" It must be remembered that some of our plants have as high a&teener-! ators installed in them, any one of which generators can, "and' does? supply a XX quctntii, ui cicuuiciiy uiab i several umes uie amount requirea to supply Salem, so that ONE of our large plants has as much capacity as several plants of the size that would be required to supply Salem alone. You will thus readily see that a large system such as ours can guarantee, ana actuauy supply, mucn more rename service than one or two small plants t could. , - ,i We have only explained this part oi the Electric Service business in a very ft onei way as we do not want to have these Talks become tiresome.

W W SCROFULA AND HUMORS GIVE WAY There are many things learned from experience and observation that the older generation should impress upon the younger. Among them is the fact that scrofula and other humors, which produce ec zema, boils, pimples and other erup tions, are most successfully treated with Hood's Sarsaparilla. This great medicine is a peculiar combination of remarkably effective blood-purifying and health-giving roots, barks and herbs, which are gathered especially for it. Hood's Sarsaparilla has stood the test of forty years. Get - a bottle today now from your nearest drug store.

Church Organ Built by Prominent firm The new organ in the First Congrega tional church of this city is built by the Austin Organ company, of Hartford, Ccnn. This celebrated organ company has erected many of the notable organs in this country. Among the municipal organs which they have built may be mentioned those in Atlanta, Ga., Port land, Me., San Francisco, Cat., Los An geles, Cal., also the largest orgsa in Chicago, 111., in the new Medina Temple was built by them. They have built hun dreds of organs for churches and their work is considered as being among the very best anywhere. They hjrve built over fifty-four manual organs. The organ in the First Congregational church is one of their small organs, but it will rank as one of the largest in this city and in material and workman shoip the superior of most. The wind is supplied by an eleetrie steel Orgoblo insuring a sufficient supply of power, practically aoiseless. .The Argoblo is the only metal constructed, silent, turbine, organ blower made. The Austin Orgs". company has patented Universal air Chest, which insures an absolute un varying pressure for all pipes in the organ under all conditions of use. This claim cannot be substantiated by any other organ. This instrument is provid ed with a detached electric console, with their latest piston and tablot ar rangements which are unique and prac tical. The pedal board is built accord ing to the American Guild of Organ iets specification and. is concave -and radiating and contains thirty-two keys.

Oregon National Guard Leaves For East, Bound For Front In France Portland, Or., Oct. 27. With the cheers of 3000 people ringing in their ears and the kisses of mothors, wives and sweethearts still warm on their lips, 900 Oregon boys rolled away from the East Bide station yesterday, head ed for the war in Europo. During the weary wait from . 10:30 o'clock in the morning, wJien tne troop trains were scheduled to arrive, until after noon, when they finally appeared, te Portland ' PoKee baud, with lively music and marches in "eircus time," strove valiantly to keep up the spirits of the crowd, but few eyes were dry. When the troops arrived thoy pre sented a staking contrast to the sad eyed relatives waiting for them. Rug ged and hearty, they stretched their heads and amis out ot the windows and shouted: "Hello, folksl" to some and "Good-bv" to others in the same breath. Contrary to previous plans, both sec tions of the troop train pulled in to gether. Section one, carrying Companies L, D, and M, stopped beyond East Mor rison street, by the station, whilo the section bearing Companies A. B., and E stopped Bouth of the streetcar tracks. After a few moments the boys were al lowed to detrain and the crowd swal lowed them up eagerly as they swarmed down te steps of the cars and through the windows. Governor. Mayor, Speak. After a half hour's "furlough", the soldiers were formed into companies and massed before the station, where, mounted on a baggage truck, Governor Withvcombe. Senator Chamberlain, Judce Walace McCamant and Mayor Ba ker made -brief addresses of farewell. Hundreds of boxes of lunch, l'JOO of them packed by the Oregon Army and Navy Auxiliary and the Girls' Honor Guard, 200 prepared by the pupils of the Glencoe School, and hundreds of others, arranged with loving core by friends and relatives, were distributed to the boys. Dozens of packages or cig arettes and cans of tobacco were stuffed into nlive drab Dockets. Then, while the band crashed into "raggy" music, again and the crowd mopped its eyes and shouted lant fare wells, the boys climbed into the cars, the whistles tooted and they rolled away. "Good-bye, Jimmie" called n voice na the train eathered speed. "Don't get shot in the back."

Com! and 333 State Streets (Continued from Paf e 0e.) them, Germany has had to strip all her lines to the north, to retreat scores of daces in order to construct twisting battle fronts, leaving a bare skeleton of trench defenders. Political and military reasons both have apparently impelled the German staff to its efforts against Italy. First of all Berlin has been impressed of late with the alarming loss of morale in the Austrian am y. Tiw.t loss was reflected at home in dropping spirits and recur rence of nation-widt), movements for a peace at any price. The situation must have been and may still be far more serious from the German point of view than heavily censored reports from Austria have yet hinted, if it forced the German high command to the offensive. The in evitable loss of men and expenditure of ammunition required is a high price for Germany to pay in her efiort to hearten Ker ally again. Germany is hard up for both men and ammunition now. Not only was the Italian offensive seemingly planned to receive Austria's military slump, but there is every evi dence that the Germans hope to deepen Italian political difficulties. Every dispatch from Borne today emphasized that the drive was likely to have ex actly the opposite effect. The British press today admitted the Gorman campaign was fraught wth grave issues, but every confidence was expressed in General Cadorna's ability to withstand the drive. Official dis patches indicated that the withdrawal from the Boiuaizza plateau was being effected in orderly fashion. The Ital ians in at least one place are now fighting on their own soil endeavoring to stem tho invader. Haig Still Advances. London, Oct. 27. Field Marshal Haig men hammered their way still further into the German lines voday. "West of Passchendaele w further progressed," the Britisn commander-in-chief reported. "Eighteen machine guns wtre captured." Another plague of Flanders mad fail ed to stop the British advance during the night. The Tommies have come to regard the sticky ooze of the lowlands as an inevitable concommitant of an advance. It has rained every time Haig has struck, but neither the downpour or the mud has done more than slow the forward progress not Btop it. It was pointed out that the British position is such that in the sector nam ed by Haig today as where the gains were made last night,. ' ' west of Pass- lehendaele, "the Germans on the lowland must iaeo attacks delivered from the high ground of the ridge. There is a distinct valley betwen the Passchcn daole ridge and Houthulst forest, be youd Poelcapelle, wnore last night's fighting undoubtedly occurred. The ad vantage is thus with liaig's men. "The Canadians repulsed twe heavy counter-uttacks yesterday afternoon south and west of Passe hendaele, tak ing a number of prisoners," Haig con tinued. "At night te ground we gained was consolidated without interference froln the enemy." . . Evacuation of Helslngfors. Petrograd, Oct.- 27. Preparations for the ovacuation of Helsiifgfors, Finland, were reported under way today. , The newspaper Novoe Vremya assort ed today that the Germans are making extensive preparations for landing and occupy fng Finland, expecting that their task will be easy owing to the growth of previous propaganda there. The Ger man plan, the newspaper declares, is to make a swift assault .on Russian troops and cut the railway which runs through Finland to Tornea, thus isolat ing Russia trom Sweden. Helsingfors is a naval depot of Fin land. It is guarded by the fortress of Sveaborg, classified as a fortification of the first class .The eity is an im portant link in tho railway from Pot rograd. Russia has already announced evacua tion, of Revel, its big naval base on the shore of te Gulf of Finland, and a civil evacuation of the fortres of Kronstadt, a bare twenty miles from l'ctrograd, at the upper extromity of the Finland gulf. Viburg, the third great Eussian naval fortification of the bay, is apparently still being hold. French Advance Continues. Paris, Oct. 27.
