HEAD OF OREGON POWER COM
PANY PLEADS FOR HONESTY.
j. l.. White, Local Manager, Attends
Meeting Of Fellow Employees
i'm Chicago.

CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-The second
annual convention of the officers and
employees of H. M. Byllesby & Com
pany, engineers and managers of pub
lie utility plants, opened here today,
at the Auditorium Annex Hotel, with
an attendance of 250 delegates. Forty
cities in twelve Western and Southern
states were represented, among them
being Dallas, Oregon, the delegate
from that point being j. l.. White, To-
cal manager of The Oregon Power
Company, one of the subsidiary COM
panies controlled by Fl. M. Byllesby d
Company.
Following an address of welcome
by President Byllesby, the convention,
with Fl. +. Tidnam, of Oklahoma City,
presiding as chairman, settled down to
four-days consideration of a pro-
gram composed of professional and
technical papers
Mr.. Byllesby said in part:
Il hope | shall be pardoned if | re-
fer to the marvellous development in
the marvelously short time occupied
of all the enterprises coming under
the general term public service cor
porations.'
Deserve Fair Hearing.
THE men who had the courage and
the faith to invest their own fortunes,
great or small, and by sacrifices OF
every description, to induce the in
vesting of additional capital in the bet
/ terment of this business, at time
when it was looked on as experimental
i and chimerical and unprofitable-l
! think these men deserve fair hearing
/ at the hands of the public and that
alongside of their derelictions shoulC
/ be placed the overwhelming number
of benefits they have conferred upor
the community at large. Because
some of the pioneers and prominen
workers of the public service business
as the result of years of toll ant
4 conscientious industry, along witt
certain human errors and mistakes
have amassed independent fortunes
we should not close our eyes to thu
fact that the great numerical major
ity died heart broken and in penury
at would appear that the world ha
advanced to a point where controVer
sizes should be handled in an advanced
and enlightened spirit-where heart
burnings, and unfair advantages or ar
guments on one side or the other o
the case, should be avoided. 1t would
/ appear monstrous that the policies o
a mercantile association or corpora
ton should be reviewed and governed
by a board composed of physicians
clergymen or lawyers. 1t would be
perhaps, equally inappropriate if thu
same mercantile organization were t.
| have it's affairs passed upon and rule
made for its government by boart
made up of public service officers ant
of farmers-and so on through thu
category.

Need Men of Integrity.

"On the broad question of public
service commissions, | believe, speak
| ing for all of my associates, there is
no objection to the public service
commission, per Sc, but very earnest
plea is made that the public service
commission should be composed OF
men of integrity and of ability, and
men who have had a previous expert
ence i'm the business in regard to
which they are proposing, under color
of a law, to pass regulations and rules
II believe large part of the pres
ent unrest and antagonism between
/ corporations and the commissions and
! law makers would disappear if the
! corporations appeared before bodies
| composed of-as we have previously
/ briefly referred to-men of breadth OF
vision, free from favoritism, and who
/ had a working knowledge of the prob
/ lens confronting the enterprises upon
which they are passing"
Vice President Arthur $. Huey, dis
cussing the subject of Franchises
said:
ITO many, the possession of a pub
/ lie utility franchise is only an oppor-
/ tunity for personal gain. To the con-
scientious man such possession means
an opportunity of administering to the
public welfare. A city in granting q
/ franchise not only places in the hands
/ of the grantee an asset of value, but
makes the grantee a trustee of the
public good. The term itself. public
utilities implies being useful and
therefore of benefit. to the public. Tc

The three great forward steps in
woman'S houSework are:
The modern range in place of the
old fireplace and kettle;
The sewing machine in place of
laborious hand-Sewing;
FelS-Naptha soap, which makes It
easy to wash clothes in cool or lukewarm
water, without boiling OF hard rubbing.
OF these three, Fels- -Naptha saves the
woman more back-breaking labor, more
time, more money, and does more to
make life pleaSanter than either of the
Others.
At the very first, you can see how it
saves. time and labor, but perhaps you'll
wonder how Fels-Naptha saves money.
In two ways: First it saves the cost of
coal or gas to heat water and boil the
clothes.
Then the clothes last longer when
washed with Fels-Naptha in cool or luke
warm water.
Their fibre isn't weakened by boil
ing nor strained by hard rubbing.
You can't realize Just what help
Fels-Naptha is until you've tried it in
your own washing.
