NEW HOME FOR
TIP TOP COMPANY

sour business demands that we come
into the city," states Captain c. p.
McCan, who with Mrs. McCan returned
last week from Pleasanton. Calf, to
spend the summer here. "0ur present
building is not near large enough and
our facilities are not near commodious
enough to enable us to do justice to
our customers.
Captain McCan plans building a
large concrete structure on the
property owned by him at the foot of
Third and Fourth street. The building
will be two stories in height on Third
street and one story high on Fourth
and will be divided into a number of
storerooms. The big garage. which
will be the new home of the Tip Tor
Motor Car Co., will occupy the whole
of the second floor and will be entered
on Fourth street.
The plans for the garage structure
have beensdrawn up by Albert Sutton.
Construction work, it is asserted, will
begin as soon as the owner can com.
plete the details of letting the con-
tract. The building will probably be
ready for occupancy by fall.

'But even if do like the city," SAID
Captain Avery Sunday, 81 shall moi

now why the West draws so much from
the East, for it's a great country.

Captain Avery's brother, Thomas E.
Avery, left Hartford in 1908 and made
asbee-line for the same country. He
onws Eggermont Orchard No. 2, con-
sisting of twenty acres, and according
to Captain Avery has pretty rich
proposition.
Still it's good to see Hartford
again, said the captain, land renew
old friendship. In fact, so glad was
to return. if only for short time, that
the only thing | regretted to leave was
my Scotch collie dog, "Don." But for
getting about Don for a while, the
captain is at present hunting up men,
bers of the old Machine Gun Battery
of the C. N. G., in which he got This
title, and talking over old times with
them. Strange to say, though, " said
Captain Avery yesterday, "the things

CAPTAIN AVERY
VISITS OLD HOME

Returning to Hartford with a bank
account of six figures, Captain Henry
Avery has made a slight improvement
on Horace Greeleys advice, go West,
young man, and grow up with the
country" Captain Avery says, go
West. young man, and grow up with
the price of apples" And Captain
Avery ought to know. For the six
figured bank account is due to his ac-
tivity in the apple industry in the
Hood River Valley during the past
nine years.
Captain Avery is still too well known
locally to require much of an introduc-
tion. He went to Oregon for health
and opportunities on June 8, 1902. He
got both. He and Mrs. Avery have
returned to Hartford to renew old
acquaintance, with headquarters al
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred P.
Chapman, No. So Russ street. Captain
Avery has a niece, Mrs. Arthur Hob.
son, living on Standish street and 6
nephew, Charles Avery, living or
Bushnell street. Mr.. and Mrs. Avery
have relatives in various places in the
state, anj they will make many visits
during the summer.

ElOping Chickens.

A dispatch from Pendleton to the
Portland Journal stats that James
Connors, of that city, has two adven-
turous young chickens which arrived
in Pendleton one evening last week,
after having successfully riden the
rods beneath the express car all the
way from Spokane. They were found
there shortly after their arrival, black
and grimy like any other hoboes. The
expressman remembers hearing noise
shortly after leaving Spokane, but
thought nothing of it until they were
dragged forth in Pendleton by Agent
T. F. 0'Brien and turned over to
Connors. Both were scarcely past the
pin-feather stage, one being a plump
young pullet and the other a rangy
young chanticleer, which gives their
adventure something OF the aspect of
an elopement.

CITIZENS OF LYLE
PLAN BIG FOURTH

Nothing vii! be left undone, says
the Lyle Washingtonian, to make the
coming Fourth of July celebration at
Lyle the most enthusiastic that has
ever been held there. The event has
been widely advertised and the people
of Lyle are hard at work preparing the
program and for the entertainment of
their guests. A display of fireworks
will be one of the features of the day.
An oration by well known speaker
is planned. The fan may watch an
interesting game of baseball. And
still others, says the Washingtonian,
can lead off in the dizzy whirl with
''joy unconfned" at the largest pavil-
ion on the Columbia while the more
sedate can shy out of hearing and wor-
ship according to the dictates of less
expanded conscience.

CHEAP POWER
Is PROMISED
co. ANNOUNCES RATE CUT
The Hydro Electric Company Premises
Power to Consumers Of COmmun-
ity at a Minimum Cost.

From the recent announcement of
the Pacific Power & Light CO., in
which its management states that il
will make sweeping reduction in the
present rates charged in this city for
electric power and the declarations of
the management of the Hydro Electric
Co., the people of the community will
soon enjoy the privilege of enjoying
decidedly cheap electric light and
power. The reduction in rates, which
il is stated by the management Of the
Pacific Power Co., is made possible
because of the consolidation of several
plants thus decreasing operating ex-
penses, has, the company also asserts,
met with the approval of the State
Railroad Commission, which under a
recently enacted bill is given the
power of a general utilities commits
sion. The same cut in rates is an
nounced in all cities in which it has
plants.
Whensthe power company Institutes
its new rate of charges, it has planned
to put into effect new system of
payment, due the loss that is reported
from failure by transients to meet
these obligations. All except consum-
res with an established credit will be
required to make deposit before the
current is turned on. A statement
made by the company to the effect
that it will require its consumers to
| sign a contract for light or power is
evidently erroneous, since public utili-
ties corporations because of their pos
itions must necessarily furnish their
service on demand to all who pay
| for it.
After July 10, the local plant of the
| Pacific Power & Light Co., will be
closed down for purposes of repair and
reconstruction. During the period of
importation, power for local consumers
will be supplied over the high tension
line between this city and The Dalles
from the White River plant.
| Despite the fact that the Pacific
company has announced sweeping re-
ductions, which, however, have not
been made public, in detail, the man
agement of the Hydro Electric COM
pany is confident that it will be able
to furnish the people of this commuh-
| ity with electric energy at a lower
rate than can be made ey the large
corporation. "This view is held, I"
states N. G. Evans, one of the princi-
pal stockholders and chief promoter
Of the new company, because of the
fact that our cost of generating power
will amount to almost nothing" ''lt
is not the purpose of the new company
to endeavor to make rates lower than
other cities, which do not have the
same opportunities for cheap power,
enjoy, but we do feel that this com
munity is entitled to the benefit of the
local conditions that permit cheap
development" continued Mr.. Evans.
1--WE, of course, expect to get rea-
sonable return from our capital, but
we can do this and at the same time
enable the community to derive an
enormous saving in the cost of light
and power"
The Hydro Electric Co., is planning
to begin immediate work on the in-
stallation of modern electric equip
ment and the construction of dams at
its two ideal sites.

Mt. Hood Dance Decided Success.

MIR. and Mrs. Charles Larson and
Charles A. Mosely are to be congratu-
lated on the success of the informal
dancing party given by them at the
Mt. Hood Hotel Saturday evening.
The dance was one of the most: largely
attended of any social event here this
year. The halls and corridors of the
popular hostelry, artistically decorated
in mock orange and evergreens, were
crowded with merry makers. The ex-
cellent music for the occasion was
made by the Hood River Mandolin and
Guitar Club. A delicious fruit punch
was served during the evening.

Enormous Ants Nest.

While exploring the Mosier View
tract of the Hood River Orchard Land
Co. Sunday party of people from
Hood River discovered an enormous
ants nest. A stick was thrust into
the big nest, which must have been
three feet in diameter, and in a mo-
ment the infuriated insects swarmed
in mass an inch thick on the broken
twigs of which it was constructed.
The ants which, were nearly half
inch in length and were of dull red
color. are known as Carpenter ants.
L. d. Firebaugh, of this city, one of
the sales agents of the land company,
who accompanied the party, stated
that it was the first nest of the kind
that had been seen in the community.
He declared that he would end the
days of the insects home by saturat-
ing it with kerosene and applying a
torch to il.

STRAWBERRY CRATE

however, is rather stretching it when
he says he is a college grad. as his

To MAKE ORLEANS
MECCA FOR
BOXERS
Retired Broker To Promote
Big Bouts in Ores
cent City.

New Orleans, La, May 29.--D. J. Tor
torich, formerly a well known broker
of this city. has retired from the COM
mission business entirely and has
taken up the boxing game game in
earnest. Mr. Tortorich, who has been
interested in sports for many years, is
an ardent devotee of fistiana, and it is
his aim to try to make New Orleans
the greatest boxing center in the
United States, the same as it was be-
fore 1898 1t was in 1892 that the
famous John L. Sullivan and James J.
Corbett battle occurred here, when
the old gladiator passed the title to
the young Californian. 1t was in 1898
that Bob Fitzsimmons knocked out
Jim Hall in four rounds and which
marked the end of big contests lin the
Crescent City. The unSeard Of purse
at that time of s40,O 900 was offered for
the battle. But to this day Bob Fitz-
simmons has not received the full
amount. 1t was a case Of going too
high and the promoters suffered as
result. The game Jagged for num-
Der of years and it has only been. dur
ing the past few seasons that New Or
leans has come to the front again.
principally through the efforts of Mr..
Tortorich and his associates in build
ing the WeStside arena, costing $50, 600
and seating 1000 people, He has en-
deavored to bring high class attrac-
lions TO the city. and that is what is
now putting New Orleans on the map
once more.
In speaking of the boxing game, Mr.
Tortorich said:
There is no sport in my opinion
that does more to benefit young men
in the way of building up physically
than boxing. They can all talk as
they please about their outdoor sports.
such as baseball, football, tennis and
the like but the fact remains that
boxing, when conducted properly and
as boxing and. not prize fighting, is
ahead Of any of them
The young man who trains to box
goes through most Of the forms of ex-
ercise out doors. and in addition has
the advantage OF boxing indoors and
training himself in a manner that he
cannot in any other line Boxing
teaches him self control; it gives him
courage, and there is nothing better
for the development Of a good eye than
boxing.
The aim Of myself and associates
here is to put boxing on a firm ba-
sis and an honest one. We want it
conducted along the highest planes
and to do away with all features that
might be termed brutal In fact. we
want to make it a sport that will be
encouraged instead Of frownsd upon.
We know that the people of New Or
leans, that is, the male population en-
JOY the sport, and many of them take
it up for their pastime. and we take
no reason why they should not have
the privilege of attending contests
when properly conducted. the same as
any other amusement
