COMMISSION HOLDS
LIGHT RATE HEARING
City Presents Testimony of Poor Ser
vice While Heppner Light d Water
Company Presents Books Showing
Deficiencies.

The public service commission of Ore
gon held hearing at the court house
in this city on Friday, in which the pc
tition of the Heppner Light & Water
Company for 25 per cent increase in
electric rates, was given consideration
H. H. Corey represented the commits
sion at the hearing while the city OF
Heppner was represented by city at
torney J. ]. Nys. f. H. Robinson of
lone appeared for that city and num-
ber of other interested citizens of lone
were also present The Heppner Light
& Water Company conducted the hear
ing for the local corporation and H.
v Gates, president and 0. B. Gates,
vice-president Of the company, were
present.
To show that the company, due to
high cost of operating is really running
at a loss, books of the company were
offered as evidence.
The city of Heppner called number
of witnesses to testify as to the quality
of the service given by the company,
This testimony was mostly to the effect
that power appeared to be insufficient
for the operation of heavy machinery
Mr.. Gates admitted that the service
had been poor. AS a remedy he sug-
gests that it will be necessary to con-
struct power plant on the upper wa
ters of Willow creek, This hydro
electric plant, which the company has
had in contemplation for a long time,
would cost in the neighborhood of $780,
600 If built at the present time, and Mr.
Gates contends that under the s per
cent return allowed on the investment,
by the commission, building of the plant
at this time would be next to impossi-
BILE
The matter has been taken under ad-
visement by the commission and they
will announce their decision at later
date.

In submitting the Port of Portland
consolidation bill to the voters of Ore
gon the people of Portland ask the peo-
pie of the whole state for authority to
provide means of shipment by sea for
the states products. Portland is the
great port of Oregon, for it is the chief
point of export for the products of both
eastern and western oregon, and in that
manner it renders a public service to
practically the entire state. The Port
of Portland Commission having been
created by a special act of the legisla-
ture, that law can be amended only by
the legislature or by vote of the people
of all Oregon.
Upon the Port of Portland has de-
veloped the duty of providing a navi-
gable channel up the Columbia and
Willamette rivers, of building docks
and other shipping facilities. The in
creased number and tonnage of ships
require that the channel be deepened
and widened and that more docks be
built For this purpose the bill enlarges
the borrowing and taxing power of the
commission, but taxes are to be levied
and bonds and interest on them paid by
taxpayers of the Port district.

New Teachers Entertained
BY Old Heppner Ma 'ams

The new teachers in the Heppner
school were the guests of honor at a
combination party and initiation cere-
mony held in the music room at the
school last Saturday evening. Teach
ers who were here last year acted as
hosts and gave the newcomers fine
time, even though it was bit strenu-
Gus at times. The first part of the eve
ming was taken up with a progressive
game in which everything from DOM
inoes to Pit were played. After it was
decided that Mrs. H. NJ James was en-
titled to the first prize and Miss Palma
teer led the field for the consolation
prize, an old fashioned spelling match
was indulged in, Since the rules of
this match required that the words be
spelled backward, this part of the en-
tertainment took but little time.
After. putting the new teachers
through imitation ceremonies that would
put many lodge to shame, refresh
ments Of cider and pumpkin pie were
served
