TOLL RATE TO
BE MAINTINED

Despite the strong protest from the
Upper Valley Progressive Association,
the Odell Development League and the
Merchants Association of this city,
the Home Telephone Co.. after con-
ference with a joint committee from
the different organizations, has decided
to maintain for one month at least the
charge Of 10 cents on all calls between
subscribers in the Upper and Lower
Valley. A meeting will be held on
July q by the company and the com
mittee to see if any any agreement
can then be reached.
1t seems that there was a differe nee
of opinion as to the most equitable
charge among the members of the
committee that conferred with the
company's management. Some thought
that the most reasonable adjustment
OF the matter would be for the COM
pany to place higher fiat rate on the
merchants of this city and the Upper
Valley subscribers, while others ar
gued that if the increase in charge
was necessary it should be borne by
an increase on the fiat rate basis by all
subscribers to the company's exchange.
Upper Valley citizens state that
under the 10 cent charge half of the
subscribers in the Upper Valley will
have their boxes taken out.

Pride of Race.

Many stories are told of the pride
of these long descended country
squires. They have held their own
even with peers Of ancient creation
A great friend OF the Duke of Norfolk
who died in 1S15-Jockey of Norfolk
was an old squire who always main
tanned that his name Huddlest0n was
corruption Of the Saxon Athelstan
and consequently much more ancient
than that of Howard. Like the duke,
he was a great topper and at dinner one
day rolled off his chair to the floor.
The duke ordered member of his
family to raise him up. Never" hic-
cuped the old man-''never shall 1t be
said that the head of the house of Hud-
dleston was lifted up by a junior men,
Der of the house of Howard" "Then,
old friend" answered the genial duke,
"as Howard is too drunk to lift him
up he will lie down beside him." and
he dld,-Manchester Guardian.

Sir Edwin Arnold as an Editor.

Sir Edwin Arnold was perhaps the
most suave man who ever paced Fleet
street. His correspondence must have
been enormous, but 1t never seemed
tax. He hailed a contribution from
an acquaintance with thanks on one
day, begged forgiveness on the next
for days inevitable delay In publica-
ton and on the third offered his con-
gratulations At first sight people
thought the friendly manner too good
to be true, but Arnold proved true on
long trial. II am nightly journal
ist," he once said. and one knew he
took pride in the ambiguous sound OF
the nightly" A proper knight of the
pen was he.-London Chronicle.

Jetties Increase River lenth.

Surveys of the mouth of the Column
bia River, completed during the past
week, are expected to show an IN
creased depth of the ship channel at
the rivers mouth. A gain of Is inch.
es, or total depth of 27.5 feet, is un-
officially reported. The measurements
just made show that the sweep of the
river current and the tides are effec-
tive when confined to the channel and
the increasing depth demonstrates the
value of the jetty work at the mouth
of the river.

WATER BOND ELECTION.

WhiLn DVltD LLLtIfUN.
IL seems that from the term,
friendly condemnation proceedings, "
a number Of the citizens of the city
have come 10 believe that the city and
the owners Of the water plant at pres
ent supplying the city's needs have
come to an agreement whereby the city
is going to pay the sum Of S42, 500 for
the water system. $500 more than
the former proposed bond issue which
was voted down by the people. The
idea is a mistaken one. The suit will
be friendly only to this extent, THAT
the city and the Pacfic Power q Light
Co. have agreed not TO take the case
on appeal further than the Oregon
Supreme Court.
The phrase. "S42, 800 or so much
thereof as may be necessary, should
be noticed. The voter must under
stand that the city does not agree to
pay the maximum sum for the system.
The value of the plant is to be left to
a jury. When the choice Of this jury
confronts the city it will exert every
effort and will secure fair minded men
to set the valuation. Furthermore,
the fact. that the city will introduce
evidence as to the real worth of the
water plant, should not be lost sight
Of. The city should not ask for a
fairer proposition. BY the agreement,
the city does not have to pay greater
price than $42.500. even though the
jury sees fit to.place a higher valuation
on the power company's holdings,
while there is no minimum limit. The
jury may find that the reasonable, val
nation of the plant is very much less
than $42. 500 and their verdict will
stick and the power company will have
to abide by it. There need be no fear
that the city will not get the water
plant at fair valuation.
Some have said, why not have the
bond election after the case is heard?"
There are numerous reasons for hold
ing the bond election previous to the
trial. FIRST, the plant can only be
bought through bond issue for the
city cannot legally buy the plant in the
open market. Therefore the council
should have an authorization from the
people before it begins its proceedings.
The people have the ultimate say, and
if the. bond election were to come after
the trial then neither side would know
whether or not the question had been
disposed Of.
Furthermore, and the strongest point
for having the bond election before the
trial, the city, in case it has the bond
issue authorized by vote of the free
holders, may Immediately ont ver-
diet of the jury pay into court the sum
decided on and take over at once. the
water system and secure its monthly
income. which will go long way
toward paying the interest of the
bonds. Indeed, II will be serious
mistake if the people of the city vote
down the bond issue and thus further
delay the municipal system. which
every one acknowledges is one of the
city's greatest needs. The people
surely should not vote in opposition to
a measure that provides fair means
of securing an immediate settlement of
the question.
The mayor and the members of the
council, who have given the matter
serious consideration, re-unanimously
in favor of the procedure proposed.

McCourt, of Portland, has stated that
he does not think that Golfers Weekly
violated the Oregon law last week by
selling its issue, on the cover page of
which appeared two American flags
used MS the wings Of aeroplanes. There
is law prohibiting the use of the flag
for advertising purposes. District
McCourt. however, states that he does
not consider the words, Golfers, The
National Weekly" as advertising, but
merely the title to the publication.
