P. P. & |. co. WILL
REST ON ITS OARS

That the Pacific Power & Light
Co. Will rest on it's oars and discon-
tinue all development work for time
because of adverse conditions in the
money market is the substance of a
letter received from the president of
the company, Guy w. Talbot, by DR..
F. w. Vincent, the local manager
The letter is being sent out to all
managers and they are instructed to
give their attention to their present
plants rather than to extension and
development work
Mr.. Talbot does not ascribe the
tightness of money to any political
changes or agitation but declares that
there has been such great demand
for money for development work by
big corporations during the past few
years that the market has been glutt-
ed with securities which are being
left on the hands of the banks. This
condition exists more in England and
Canada. he thinks, than it does in the
United States but is being felt here
too
Any great Development work in the
immediate future by the company, he
says, would necessitate the disposing
of securities at sacrifice, a policy
which sane business judgment would
not advocate.

In the first trial Henwood was con-
vfcted of murder in the second de-
gree and sentenced to imprisonment
for life. The Colorado supreme court
on February 3, 1912, reversed the de-
cision and remanded the case for a
new trial. Following the decision of
the supreme court attorneys for Hen

uonal Woman Suffrage Alliance which
Is holding its seventh annual conven-
ton here with 1000 delegates repre-
senting twenty eight countries. in at
tendance. Mrs, Gait declared that the
fighting to have a hand in making
the laws by which they are governed
will center their efforts on the EN-
pire state. In explaining the cam
paign mapped out for the suffragists
of America, Mrs Gait described how
success in New York state would
have wonderful moral effect on the
New England states. She declared
also that the south would be more
ready Ito fall into line" after New
York is won. 1.-The far western COM
monwealths" said Mrs. Gait, 'have
capitulated. Woman suffrage is no
longer an experiment.. Too much
good has followed It. The states east
will capitulate and surrender to the
inevitable when New York sets the
pace. We are certain to win in the
referendum of 1915" The congress
