POWER COMPANIES
ASK HIGHER RATES

Hood River, apparently, is to have
its annual discussion over lighting
rates. Both local companies have pre-
sented the Railway Commission with
petition, calling for an increase in the
residential lighting rates of the city.
The news of this prayer of the power
companies will no doubt create a strong
campaign on the part of the citizens
to combat the increase. The residen-
tia rates here are now as high as the
traffic will bear, and merchants have
protested against the commercial rates,
which are said to be excessively high.
The date for hearing of the petition
will be set soon, according to an an
nouncement of the Commission.
The present residential lighting rate
based on connected load, with a mini
mum charge of 81. is as follows:
First Is kilowatt hours per kilowatt
of connected load. 10 cents; second Is
kilowatt hours, etc., eight cents; third
kilowatt ours, ETC., five cents; and all
current over this amonnt at three cents
per kilowatt hour. The companies also
have in effect a rate on current used
for cooking and baking ranges. charg-
ing five cents per kilowatt hour for all
energy.
The applicants desire to increase the
above rates by substituting therefor a
new schedule for rates to be designated
as Schedule A" and to apply to resi-
Dental lighting and other domestic uses
of electricity other than the use of
electricity for operating cooking ranges
or stoves. as follows:
Schedule Residential lighting
and domestic service. Net rate after
deducting 10 per cent for prompt pay
ment within 10 days after date of bill
ing.
First 80 kilowatt hours per month
10 cents per kilowatt hour. all in excess
of 80 kilowatt hours per months cents
per kilowatt hour, minimum monthly

that the German markets will be open
soon to expectations of American ap-
Piles. The Distributors are reported as
exporting regularly blocks Of North
western fruit to England. Scotland,
Ireland, Denmark, Sweden and Nor
way.
From reports of the head Offices of
the Distributors at Spokane, however,
II seems that there is little chance of
German expectations this year, and
only slight chance of reaching any of
the Russian markets. The latter for
merly were supplied through Hamburg,
which, of course, is impossible at the
present time, and il il is next to inn
possible to run the blockades in the
North and Baltic seas to reach Russian
seaports.
II. +. Davidson reached New York
Friday to open the eastern Office. He
will remain until April and will be in
almost daily cable communication with
MIR. Moomaw on export markets, and
will also look after the Atlantic sea
board business Of the organization.
Mr.. Davidson reports that market
conditions in Omaha, Chicago. Colum-
bus. Pittsburg and New York, which
he visited en- route to New York, are
not over encouraging. This is due to
the heavy offerings always prevalent at
this time of the year, which condition
is aggravated this year by the big crop
and the condition of the money market
in the east.
"The unusually warm weather east
Of the Missouri river adds to the seri-
business of the general situation, says
J.lH. Robbins. general manager of the
Distributors. "Much fruit is arriving
in the eastern markets in an overripe
condition and has to be disposed of in a
hurry. We have been avdised to ice
cars enroute at the eastern division
points.
"To make sure that our fruit is NOV
ing in good condition. we have three
inspectors at the Omaha gateway and
more at Minneapolis. They inspect
every car and make sure that no unfit
stock goes into storage or is held too
long"

Zanfretta Family With Howe'<
 Great London Circus.

Three are many novel acts with Howe's Great London Cir GUS and Robinson's 10 Big Shows United, which are certain to be ssll received in every city lucky enough to secure a visit from the consolidated enterprises. There are acts which were nev- CT. seen in America until this show opened its season of 1914, for the reason that there was no amusement enterprise great enough to afford the large salar- ies which the artists demand, and no institution with sufficient prestige to attract the attention of such celebrated performers.
 The Zanfretta Family of ac- robats, for instance, perform feats which have never been seen in other shows.
 Howe's Great London Circus and Robinson's 10 Big Shows United, will exhibit in Newport Tuesday, October 13. 60d1.

 Philadelphia, October g. Three thousand men and boys, tired and bedraggled, this morn- ing awaited the opening of Shibe Parke gates, standing in an ex- tended line along the park walls. Many were there all night.
 The skies were cloudy, but yesterdays bad drizzle disap- peared and the weather man de- clared the prospects good for favorable weather. The ticket scandal has been growing and a dozen more scalpers have been arrested.
 Before the game, the National Commission instructed the um- pires to warn the players thatif they use an "emery ball' they will be barred from the series.
 The game opened with Ben- der, the veteran Indian twirler, on the mound for the Athletics, and Rudolph for the Braves. The latter was invincible in all Ipinches allowing the American leaguers but five hits, while Bender was knocked out in the sixth, when Boston scored 3 runs, Wyckof succeeded him.

Stage Still Plays Part.

 London, Oct. 9.-That the stage still plays an important part in sustaining public spirit and forwarding movements for the aid of the Red Cross, has been fully demonstrated here by Sir Herbert Trees revival of Drake"
 From the first performance, the patriotic scenes portrayed in this drama have aroused the audiences to tremendous out bursts of patriotic enthusiasm. Every night the vast audiences gather in His Majesty's theatre and wildly cheer the stirring scenes. The effect of these dem- onstrations is being witnessed by heavy increases in the dona- tions to relief funds and many recruits from among the young men theatre-goers.
 Sir Herbert produced the play and gave his services without fee. His leading lady, Miss Phy- lis Neilson-Terry, also donated her services and the author waived all royalties. -~n,as .-

As there has been an enroII- ment of about 70 pupils in the First Grade, it has been neces- sary for Mrs. Box, the primary teacher to divide the pupils into two sections, giving one ot them the morning hours and the other the afternoon hours. So parents will thus understand why the children in this grade are asked to come to school only morning or afternoons.
