Mr.. Mather, of the Minneapolis Pa
per Co, is in the city today, calling
on his customers and h%obnobbing
with friends. MI. Mather says that
the wholesalers and jobbers are hav-
ing trouble in getting print paper, the
wholesale price of which has advanc-
ed from a fraction over two cents a
pound to five and FIVE and a half
within the past six months. His in
structions from his house are to take
no new business whatever in the line
Of print paper. Even the regular
customers of the various paper
houses are limited in quantity from
the mills. Some OF the big metro
poitan newspapers find it almost i'm
possible 10 secure a sufficient supply
Of paper to maintain their regular
editions. 1t is said that the Minneap-
oils dailies are encountering consid-
cradle grief in this respect. Mr..
Aather says possibly the inyestiga-
ton 10 be made by the federal trade
commission regarding print paper may
clarity the paper atmosphere to some
extent, although he is inclined to
think that it will be necessary to place
an embargo IN expectations of print
paper if the local demand is to be

paper, Notwithstanding the great de-
mand for it at home. because autsid-

PORTLAND PROPOSES
CITY LIGHT PLANT
Council Believes Current Can Be oh
tanned More Cheaply If Furnished
by q Municipal Establishment.

PORTLAND, Dec, 16-In recon-
mendlng to the city council yester-
day an award Of contract to the Port
land Railway, Light & Power Com
pany for lighting the streets and
public buildings during the next two
years, City Commissioner DAILY sub
mitted a report in which he outlines
plans for campaign to establish
municipal lighting plant.
The two-year contract was award
ed to the Portland Railway, Light a
Power company at a rate Of $51 a
year for each arc Light supplied with
current from overhead wires and
S62.60 for those supplied from under
ground lines. The bid also provides
straight 2 cents kilowatt hour for
incandescent service. The North
western Electric Company submitted
higher bid on a five year basis.
Realizing that move is to be made
for the establishment of a municipal
fighting plant, the council granted
the twoyear contract rather than one
for five years. On a five-year basis
the Portland Railway. Light Power
company bid provided lower rate
than for the shorter contract.
For several months engineers have
been conducting Investigations in in
the Bull Run water reserve to deter.
mine the feasibility Of power plant
Mr.. DAILY says a report on this will be
ready in detail about February /.
The plan will be to put before the
voters the question of issuing possibly
between sI.000,00O and $4,000. 600 il
bonds for the establishment of tbs
plant. II is figured a distribution
system equal to that now belonging t
the Portland Railway, Light & Pow
er Company within the city can be es
tablished for sS00,000
The purpose Is merely to proVid
current for the lighting of streets an
public buildings, Mr.. Daily says en-
gineers have figured that this can b
handled so that the city can get muc
morelight for streets at less cost. TIL
cost under present conditions is 5000
900 year. This Mr. DAILY says is s12
for each horsepower a year. He say
the municipal lighting plant will b
able to produce the power for S120
horsepower a year,

LIBERAL RUN OF
HOGS IN PORTLAND

PORTLAND, Dec. l6.-There was
a liberal run of hogs in the North
Portland yards over night. Trend of
the trade was considered steady, with
prices practically unchanged from re-
cent days. While the bulk of the
sales Of top quality have been made
of late around $3.50. still something
extra select, such as arrived on Mon
day. would bring the extra 15c quot
ed on this basis.
General hog market price range:

Prime light, 20O-225 lbs. a.65G9.75

A drop of zoe a barrel in the price
OF all grades of flour took effect in
the local market during the morning.
The extreme weakness in the wheat
market at Chicago during the early
session gave the flour trade here fur
ther weakness and another drop Of
20c a barrel was expected at any mo-
ment. This would place the price Of
patent down to $3.50 per barrel or
soc below the extreme price Of the
season TO date.
The decline in the Chicago wheat
market during the morning was ex'
tremely sensational. although this
was by no means reflected in the for

Sir Roger Easement.

Once more an Irish patriot has PAID
the penalty for love Of country.
Once more a British subject, chafng
under the calling yoke, has made a vain
attempt to lift it from the shoulders OF
his people and has given up his lie IN
consequence.
Visionary. erratic, Utopian Is was Sir
Roger Easement when he headed the re-
bellion; mad rs he was to appear TO have
allied himself with England's greatest
enemy. he must yet be reyerenced and
hcnored for his courage and indomitab-e
spirit in the face of such mighty odds.
All through the ages We have figures
who leave the well trodden paths Of rea-
son and blaze trail for hope and faith.
They trust TO higher inspiration as
did the Savior Of old.
They march with fearless hearts to a.
most certain doom. but who are we TO
say that their hopes and faith are vast
cd?
With the great army Of martyrs will
the name of Sir Roger Easement be en-
rolled.
He lived a courageous life and died
oravely.
That his efforts did not bring victory,
is beside the mark.
With that we have nothing TO do. All
that concerns Us is that a great soul has
lived. true 10 its modest self.
His reward lies not in earthly hands.
