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. V-. i
We will explain about "DIVERSITY" next week.

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. Always
keep this medicine on hand.

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.
The swell shutters are operated by an
electric engine and work easily and ef
fectively. The swell organ contains the
usual varieties of tone, flute, string,
and reed, while in the great organ in
addition to the above is a full-tonnd
diapason. The front is of oak with gilt
pipes and makes a most impressive ef

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."

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. The French drive be
tween Dreigrachten and Draibank is
continuing with success, the war ofifco
announced today.
Despite difficult, muddy ground, the
