 The Chinese left for Portland Wed nesday night. This trio was :shadOwed to point on this side of salem where they eluded the vigilance of their pur- suers. Police say they don't know on what grounds the Chinese suspect these men. Oi Sen, the woman in whose room an eXpressman claims he got the trunk containing Seid's body, has not been located, so far as the police know. nor has her friend. Of ficers are confident, however. it is only a matter of a short time until the pair will be delivered to them. In addition to being wealthy themselves members of the Seid family are Chinese free maSOns and are allied with the Hip Sing Tong. It is said both organiza- tions in Portland. Seattle and San Francisco are using men and money to round up Seid Bing's slayer.

WIDENING THE
 GRAND CANAL
Work is Progressing Fam ously and Water Will be Turned in the Ditch on February 1st as the Farm CTS Were Promised.

As announced when the water was turned out of the upper Grand canal for the purpose of widening the ditch. it will be turned back in again. and to stay in. dn February 1. In the meantime the work of widening the canal has progressed more satisfac- torily than had been hoped for
 It will be remembered that it was divided into three parts. Contracts were let for the two end sections it being possible to get along for a time without widening the middle sec tion. as the Grand is paralleled at that point by the AppropriatOrs and by cutting across ditcheS uniting them. both ditches can be used.
 Grant Brothers who had the con- tract for the east or upper section. have finished and moved their stock back to the Grand extension where it was working before the job was undertaken. Dr. Norton who took the contract for the west section, finished some time ago and is now working on the middle section and will have over half mile of it finished before the water is turned in. The other mile. as explained. can go for the present by using the Grand and Ap- prOpriators jointly.

CHEAPER GAS
 RATES ASSURED
Pacific Gas & Electric Go. Announces a Reduction of Ten Per Cent or More on and After February First.

Effective Feb l and thereafter, tho Pacific Gas X Electric company will reduce the price of gas in Phoenix 10 per cent to the small consumer and more than that to those using 10000 feet or more per month Tn, company announces that this has long been in mind to put in opera Iion on the completion of the new plant it has been engaged in con- structing for nearly year IL eN- poets to have the plant in commits sion about the first of next month, but the new prices will be effective then whether il k fully completed or not.
 The new plant is of a capacity that should supply the wants of a city of 75.OOO people, so the company believes it has its gas plant thor oughly equipped for long time to come. It is almost a duplicate of the new plant at Ocean Park. which supplies a number of beach towns, though the Phoenix plant k not s" large The distributing system has also been greatly improved and much new pipe laid, 50 better service can be assured.
 The new rates which are adver- tised elsewhere in this issue are now made on a basis of $l.So per thou- sand feet. instead of S2 as heretofore The rate will now be Sl-S". with the cash discount of 10 per cent. making net rate of $l.62 per thousand. For those who consume more than lo,ooo feet Der month there is a graduated scale in proportion to the amount used. the very large consumers rate amounting to a reduction of % per cent of the present base rate
 Manager Whitmarsh said last night that when the cost here of oil for fuel and for gas manufacture IS taken into consideration. together with all other local conditions. the rate here is more reasonable than m most places and represents less profit than in many cities where the nate Is Sl ur less.

OFFICER MOORE
 RETURNS HOME
Georgia Was All Right, and Washington fine, but New York is the Real Thing and Chicago is Not in the Running.

Chief of Police Johnny Moore re- turned home last night on a late tIlin, after d fine visit in the east and south. with his neck somewhat knotted through being justled about in a railroad wreck. but otherwise in fine condition. Mir. Moore went to Atlanta with United States Marshal Overlook and others. guarding a car load of federal prisoners. After the convicts were turned over to the au- thOrities in charge of the prison. the officers separated more or less to follow their own desires in drifting around through the east until their transportation began to frazzle at the edges.
 Marshal Overlook. Leo Troutman. F. s. Curtis and Mir Moore went to Washington together. Numerous guides, philosophers and friends were met in the capital Will Barnes of the forest service was one and Flor encio Hubbell of Apache county. who was there on mining business, was another. Ralph Cameron introduced them to fine dinner and then took them through the capitol on sight seeing expedition. The next day he pilOted them through the White House. but the president was too busy tO he disturbed. though he announced that if he had the time he would like to meet the Arizona contingent. Charlie WOolf was another home man encountered in the Capital City.
 The next jump was to New York city, which rather appealed to MT. Moore He spent three days, and it is suspected. some money, while he tarried Turning west. the officer got into Chicago last Sunday. He thinks Chicago would look pretty we'll to him if he had not seen New York, but there was nothing in the lake country that took that metro- politan taste out of his mouth, and Sunday night he left for home. Be- fore morning he was killed in a he thought he was. but was grati- fled later to discover that he was only badly scared. while several oth- CTS were killed. He says the event occurred early Monday morning. and he thinks the name of the town should now be changed to Killmon- day.
