 The following statement has been issued by the Company:
 June 22d. 1918. To Customers of the Putnam Light
 and Power Company
 We regret very much that II IS nee essary 70 notify you of an increase in the cost of all fuel gas used on and after June p, 1918
 The present emergency caused by the war has brought about unforeseen and abnormal conditions, which have resulted in increased prices for labor and materials, especially coal This condition has so materially increased the st of producing and supplying as aS to necessltate a revision or our r---eS-
 The chief items in the cost of pro 1uclng gas are coal. oil and labor The average price of coal in 1916 was S 50 per ton for bituminous coal. as compared with s10l4 at the present time. Anthracite coal. that was S70o Der ton, now costs S925 per ton Oil has increased ia price 50 per cent
 Action on the revision of our rates ku= sHs,f- parent that this step is necessary If the company Is to meet it's obligations and continue to maintain its present standard of service
 h the past the company has been put TO 6 great expense and inconveN- fence, due 10 the existence of two rates. one for fuel gas, and one for H. lumlnating gas IL Is now proposed 10 have one rate for both classes of service, namely: sl.7o per thousand cubic feet, with l0c per thousand cu- bic feet discount for payment on or before the 10th of the month, making the net price S160 per thousand cu- tle feet. This rate Is substantial increase in the fuel rate but Is small reduction in the illuminating rate.
 II iS hoped that this increase VIII ee only temporary, and as soon as conditions warrant prices will be re dueed. We now ask the indulgence of our customers for the necessity of making these changes which we hope will Tn the aggregate tide the com pany over this abnormal period of nigh costs.

fair.
The prizes donated by the mer-

caused the school children to take a
lively interest in competing for them.
The events were arranged by Profess
sors Ensor and Rose and consisted Of
pole vaulting, discus and hammer
throwing, ball throwing, nail driving.
jumping and rrnning-covering such
n wide range that all of the pupils
from the high school down TO the pri-
mary grades were enabled TO take
part in some way.
The Forest City and district schools
were invited to participate. but as
most Of them had closed few weeks
before the meet was given, but few Of
them were able TO do 80. We hope
that il will be held earlier in the
spring next year. and that all Of the
schools Of the district adjoining Ore
gon will take part, as Il is a splendid

mote feeling Of comradeship among
