Commission Proposes Districts

The Hydro-electric Commission of
the Commonwealth Conference, of
which DIR. J. F. Watt is a member.
will recommend at the special session
of December 10. II and IL, that bill
be presented in the next Legislature
making possible the incorporation of
any city and its tributary watershed
area into district authorized to pro-
vide itself with an electric transmits
sion system, or hydro-electric plant
and transmission system. The purpose
is to bring about a larger use of cleo
tricty in home, factory and farm.
Recommendation will be made to the
proper legislative committee for bill
covering formation of such districts.
The League of Oregon Municipalities
is interested in this proposed legisla-
tion. as we'll as in the unemployment
legislation, and the state administra-
tion reform legislation, and as these
directly touch municipal interests it
will hold joint sessions with each of
them throughout the three days of the
Conference.

Heights' Brigade Banquet

The Heights Brigade held banquet
in Taylor hall on the evening of Nov.
q. The members of this popular club
and about one dozen guests sat down
to chicken supper. The menu was
enough to satisfy an epicure. After
doing justice to the edibles, games
were played until about 10 O'Clock.
This supper was planned and carried
out by the members themselves. each
one contributing part. They were
assisted with the serving by Mrs. Coe,
Mrs. Dark and Mrs. Slavens.
The Brigade has very strong foot
ball team and has worsted other teams
much heavier since the season opened.
In fact, their record is such that it is
almost impossible to secure a game
with a team near their weight. Those
of the members who took the trip to
Lost Lake last July had the time of
their lives. All but two walked in in
one day, leaving town in the morning
and arriving at the lake about p. m.,
each one carrying his own outfit from
Stones to the lake. Next summer they
plan to spend their outing on some lake
or river off the beaten road.
