THE NEW POWER PLANT.

Ground was broken yesterday on the
new power system to be installed by
the Hydro Electric Co. The news that
the plant will soon be in operation and
willsfurnish residents of the community
rates at reasonable figure will be
received gladly by the consumers Of
electric energy AMI light. The recent
alleged decrease in rates by the Pacific
Power & Light Co., which in effect
was an increase for every consumer
except the one making but very
small use of light, did not tend to place
the local patrons Of the company in a
friendly attitude toward the newly or
ganized and large corporation. In fact
such corporations on the part Of the
Pacific Power q Light company neces-
sarily lead the citizens, who pay the
heavy rates and add to the profits of
the company assessing them, to seek
some source of relief. rhe result is
seen in the neighboring city Of The
Dalles, where. unwilling to submit to
action similar to that in raising the
local rates, the city council has taken
steps to secure relief through munic-
ipal plant. 1t really seems that the
Pacific Power & Light Go. has blum
dered and is killing the Goose that
Ia,,e Al. ooldap aoar -
The new company. while not organ
lied for any philantbropical purpose,
for it must be expected to seek a rea-
sonable profit from its investments,
will be, if we may be allowed to so ex-
press it, benefactor to the commun-
ity, in that it will give the city and
county relief from excessive rates lev
led by the present system. Its man
agement has stated that it is their
purpose not only to secure reasonable e
returns on the company's capital, but
to give the public the benefit Of sharing
in the development of the power sites
of the Hood River.
From an economic and business view
point, the citizens of the community
are to be congratulated on the inita-
tive of the management of the com
pany, and for its own interests the
public will lend it encouragement and
support through patronage.

BRADSHAW ADJOURNS
EXTRA LONG SESSION

The three men, John Z. Stevenson,
Albert Brooks, and John Condor, held
on charges Of breaking open the box
car in the local yards here two weeks
ago were tried Saturday and found
guilty Of grand larceney. They re-
ceived their sentences from Judge
Bradshaw Monday morning. Each re-
ceived a sentence of from two to five
years in the state penitentiary. After
they have served the minimum SEN
tenee they may apply for pardon or
parole. However, the granting OF II
rests with the pardon Board, who may
make the prisoners serve the maximum
term or may release them after two
years. Much depends on their behay-
Tor and conduct in the state prison.
The men were escorted 10 Salem Mon
day morning by Marshal Robt. I.
Lewis and Deputy Sheriff +. Olliuger.
I'm the damage cases OF Dave Peck
aud Mat Douglas against the county,
both recovered for the personal injuries
received last March. when they were
struck by a falling tree when driving
into the city over the Belmont road.
The verdict Of the jury gave the for
mer the sum of $1,000 and the latter
$1,000.
The last jury case to be heard by the
court was that Of j. +. Gardner VS.. j.
X. Johnson. The plaintiff in the case
was suing for damages to the extent OF
IS, 900 claimed to be due because of the
breach of contract on the part of Mr..
Johnson TO employ him in bank,
which the defendant proposed TO estab-
lish here. The bank was to have been
known as the Apple Growers Bank of
Hood River. The plaintiff alleged that
he had been led to leave a lucrative
position at Dickinson. North Dakota,
and to spend much money in coming
here to accept the position.
In answer to the complaint the de-
fendant presented counter claim for
the sum exceeding Sc, 600, due to him
according to his allegations, because Of
fraudulent Misrepresentation of the
plaintiff as to banking opportunities in
Hood River and because Of damages
incurred on expenditures for property.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Johnson purchased the Jackson build
ing at the corner of Oak and Third
streets and at present the property Of
Capt. G. p. McCan. THIS site as re
modelled and fixtures were secured for
it to be used by the proposed bank.
Mr.. johnson furthermore alleged that
from recommendation Of Mr.
Gardner he loaned +. r. Birdie the
sum of 500 on land declared to be
worth $2, 800, when in fact the land is
worth no more than $500. The jury S
verdict gave the plaintiff S225 damages.
