Further Curtailment.

Owing to the lack of demand for
manufactured cotton goods, several
weeks ago the Addison Mills decided
to close down two days in every
week. On account of being unable to
sell any cotton goods at all the mill
has found it necessary to run only
on half-time until market conditions
improve. The mill will close tonight
and remain closed until Monday
morning.

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
ORDERS REDUCTION RATES
Pacific Power and Light Company
Must Drop One Cent in Yakima
And Walla Walla.

| The state publir service commits
today rendered decision in the case
involving electric rates of the Pacific
Power & Light Company. The COM
mission finds that property of the
power company December, 81, 1919
used for public purposes in Yakima
and Walla Walla districts is valued
at $6,26O,00O and that at the old rate
after paying operating expenses, taxes
and per cent depreciation that the
company was earning in that district
and eight tenths per cent although
losing money from operations in
Goldendale and White Salmon sys-
TENS.
If the new rates proposed by the
commission were permitted to take
effect the commission estimates that
the company would earn almost 10
per cent in the Yakima and Walla
Walla districts which the commission
considers excessive. The commission
orders the company to reduce rates
for residential lighting cent for
a kilowatt hour in Walla Walla and
Yakima and n cent in Toppenish and
Pomeroy.
These new rates will take effect
on meter readings after September
Is, and on fiat rate service after
September /.
The report Of the forest fires out
side Of the national forests in the
state of Washington for the season Of
1919 which was issued yesterday by
State Fire Warden F.. e. Pape. shows
a 25% increase in thee total number
of fires over the seasons of 1918 and
1919 and nearly a 100 per cent de-
crease in the number of fires caused
from numbering operations. This de-
crease is due partly to the closing
down of many logging camps and to
weather conditions, but it is believed
to be mainly due to the employment
of camp fire wardens and to a more
general increased protection in the
logging operations.
The areas burned over and the loss
and damage to timber logs and log
ging equipment is only about one
half as great as for the season of 1918
and 1919. while the cost of patrol and
fire fighting has remained about the
same.

CARD OF APPRECIATION

io My Dear FrlendS :-
 Who gave so generously and will lngly to our mission work for St. Mary's on the Mountain, Sewanee. Tenn. Please accept my heartfelt thanks and deep appreciation for your great assistance. Could you but see the fifty children and the work, you would be most glad that you are the means of helping them spiritually and mentally, both so sadly needed. So many of my friends give most kindly and lib- erally, who are not members of the Episcopal church. I love Marian na with her charming people. In fact everything in it is dear to me. Indeed look forward with much real pleasure when I shall be blessed m being with you again. The dear Little Helpers" must have my grat- ltude and appreciation for their frequent donations of money and clothing, with toys, and it is very wonderful to see little band of church workers so helpful in mis- sion work. May God give each one of you His richest blessings.
 Most sincerely and gratefully.

half-sick people today have diges- tive organs that are 'on the bum.'

 1t is the American tendency to treat the stomach with too little respect. Most people stuff them selves with too much food, and then when the digestive organs get out of order, are half-sick all the time and don't know what is the matter with them. My medicine, Puratone restores misused or out of whack stomachs to normal conditions and destroys chronic constipation.

HIGH COSTS IN CHICAGO
Commercial AppeaL)


 The negroes have come to block in Chicago. The high cost of rent and the high cost of living have more than overreached the wages they have been getting.
 Some of the radical colored peo- ple may think this statement IS propaganda to keep them in the south, but we reprint the following from the Property Owners Journ- al of Chicago. This publication is in the interests of the residents and business men of Hyde Park and the adjacent territory. The artl- cle is as follows:
 Posters covering the Black Belt urge negroes to return to the south, where high wages await them. The scarcity of farm labor in all parts of the country has made 1t neces sary to compete with the salaries of the city in order to retain the young people on the farm, both black and white.
 The southern planter today IS paying higher wages to his colored help than ever before, including ex- cellent homes to live in. The col ored man realizes that he has fewer clothes to buy in the south and the cost of living sfar under that of the north, with less rent to pay. The average colored man on a salary and paying for his home will agree that the time Is not far away when he will be forced to give up his home and sell the con- tract that he now holds. The sit uation is serious problem in the north for the colored man. He cannot afford to live any great length of time at the pace he is now travelling. It is unfortunate but many will be forced to move from their homes this spring on account of foreclosure proceedings.
