HALL ANSWERED
BY COMMITTEE

In regard to Manager Halls article
in last weeks issue of the News, in
which he calls attention to the diff
culties and dangers which seem to
him) so very numerous in municipal
power plants, wish to say right here
in the beginning that | am not making
any personal attack upon Mr. Han,
but am on good terms with him, even
If we do not always have the same
ideas and opinions. Mr.. Hall must,
of course, be prejudiced in favor of
his company.
Why is it this company uses SO
much space to warn the people
against such an awful danger the
great expense incurred in building
and operating, etc? Do the people
fhink for one minute that this COM
pany wants to save the valley a lot
OF money except so that it will finally
fall into the company cash box? If
the valley consumers have any idea
that this company is in existence for
any altruistic purpose they have ano.
ther idea coming to them.
Look back a short time and see
what happened when the Hydro"
was busy getting into Hood River
Didn't the Pacific Power & Light do
their prettiest to prevent the new.
conner from doing business? All
kinds of plans were brought into use,
dnjunctions were ussued; contracts
We're made for current at fiat rates
and ridiculOusly low figures were the
order of the day. Out here on the
East Side there was no immediate
danger of the Hydro service, but why
all this haste to do business at a
loss? The company would let the
dear people" make the rate and they
tthe company would stand the loss
However, the end justihes the
means"
BY and by the Hydro seemed to be
getting the worst of the deal and first
we know both companies ran over tC
Salem and asked the Railroad com
missioners to allow them to raise tht
rates. So the Commission came tt
Hood River and said a few words and
away went the contracts, low rates

rates for residence and commercial
lighting were applied in this manner:
the first 8 kilowatts were Is cents
per kilowatt, the neat 5 were 12Ia
per kilowatt and over IL was at 10
cents per killowatt However IL the
consumer used enough current to en-.
title him to the 12ls cent rate or the
10 cent rate. he paid that rate for all
he used. For example, IL the meter
read use of Is kilowatts he paid
$3.50 or 10 cents for all he used and
not Is cents for part and 12h cents
for part. The earnings of this plant
show what can be done by a plant
which had to use fuel in proportion to
it's load. A condition not met with
in water power.
Here is the whole matter in a nut.
shell. If the power companies can
make a profit by using our river to
generate power for US, then there is
pot single reason why We can't do
IT and apply that profit to pay for our
own plant and later reduce our rates
when out of debt Why pay rent
when we can apply the same amount
and own it all by ourselves?
Another point, don't let anyone fiji
you up with stories as to the great
cost of making Juice" and the awful
loss in transmission. Those yarns
are for campaign purposes only. For
get them. Private capital can be
had to build enormous plants that sell
current for one-fourth of one cent per
kilowatt, using coal at $3.50 per ton
Those plants are regular money max
ers.
What particular difference does IL
make, as far as the operating of the
plant is concerned whether a few men
lin the East or a bunch of farmers
in the West are the owners? We
can do the owning and the running
too. This whole thing is in the hands
of the valley people and if they vote
Yes" then we will have our plant
The two 90 companies can still be
with us as long as they care to stay
The people will decide the fate OF
both.
There is one thing certain and it is
this, the time has passed when any
company can play the game in the old
way and make it stick" Hood Riv
er ought to be the laughing stock OF
the whole nation If it stands for any
more milking"

These straws show which way the

appointed at the Odell massmeeting &c
take UP the preliminary work on this
municipal plant, and can assure the
public that We have gone into IL with
the idea Of either climbing over, goins
around, or tearing down any and ali
obstacles that interfere with US in
carrying out our plans. We know
that the object is a good one and also
there is no good reason why we can
not put it through unless the people
vote 1t down. We have explained the
details to the people and have met
with approval when persons under
stood the situation fully.
Our strong point has been as fol
lows:
A municipal plant will not be oblig
ed to add taxes nor water power rent
al to its cost OF operation, so we will
benefit just that much over any pri
vately owned. Nor do We have tC
allow dividends to be sent away from
the valley. Amy surplus will be USED
for paying off bonds and we will gel
all the real benefit ourselves. By
this method the valley will get it,
current at cost.
The proposed power station will bt

will cover the territory served but W,
can easily extend the service. There
will be ample capacity for taking car,

amount of power available at our sitei

A competent engineer who was here
few days ago told us We could install
for about $40. per horse power as tn,

Halls $4,000 per horse power looks 8
little inflated from our point of view
This same engineer estimated oul
main lines at $4,000 per mile ant
branch lines much less. The fact
that the proposed station is in the
center of the district to be served is Z
very large factor In economy and alst

how the Hood River Gas & Electric
company can afford to pay the Pacific
Power G. Light company more than
that each year as rental Of plant and

the business OF the City of Hood River
makes that possible.
Well, We here in the valley are not
going to confine our business to the
valley alone, but will go into the city
coo. and see what low rate will do
towards Increasing our earnings and
paying off a few bonds. "AlPs fair

Mr.. Hall calls attention to the need
of a reserve equipment to be ready

watt generator dragging from so to

at fuckers Bridge is only joke. The
only up-to-dste plant in Hood River
exists now in blueRrints mostly, ex-
cept for a few piers and holes and
piles of rock along the river. At
present all Is at stand still. Those
big generators we heard about, don't
seem TO be very much in evidence.

CROSSING NEEDLEssLY BLOCKED
Freight Train Taking Water Forced
Passengers to Go Around 1t.

While passengers from the West River
train were leaving the train this morning
and others were going to the station to
board one of the trains about due, the
engineer of freight train with 81 cars
pulled down to the water pipe with his
train and blocked the crossing. Women
with children were compelled to take the
sidetrack and walk down that to point
where they could cross to the station
platform and those leaving the station re-
versed the operation. After the water
tank had been filled the engineer slowly
backed his train and cleared the crossing,
which had been blocked over four min
utes at the busiest time in the morning.
I'm the minds of those who were lnconven-
fenced there was absolutely no excuse for
the situation except that someone of the
train crew was too lazy to disconneet the
engine. An instance of direct violation
of the rules of the road was noticed this
morning when at $40 a freight train
southbound went whizzing over the cross
ing instead of obeying the orders that all
Isouthbound trains shall come to a full
stop before reaching 1t.

VERMoNTER AT VERA CRUZ.
Tells of Forlorn Condition of American
Refugees.

SALISBURY, May 6.-Letters re
ceived from Harold Kent of this town,
who is a wireless operator on the
United States battleship Connecticut at
Vera Cruz, Mexico, tell of the forlorn
condition of American refugees aboard
his ship. lie writes that there are
about 1900 refugees aboard the Con
necticut and that the ships officers
have given up their quarters to the I'M
fortunates, many of whom are women
and children.
Mr.. Kent writes that many Of the
refugees possess absolutely nothing but
the clothes they wore when they came
aboard the ship. He says the navy de
partment is in shape to feed these
people well and make their condition
as cheerful as possible. He said that
several aged couples were in a pitia-
bic condition and that number of
the refugees had recently undergone sur
gical operations when they were
brought aboard the ship.
Mr.. Kent speaks of the efforts of
Mexican newspapers to buoy up the
patriotism of the constitutionalists by
publishing reports to the effect that the
army is driving the Americans back
into northern Mexico. He saws the
newspapers contain lurid accounts OF
imaginary engagements between United
States naval forces and English, Ger
man and French battleships in which
it is stated that the American ships
have sunk their opponents and this bat
tie has lined up the powers against the
United States.
