Improvements
In Salem Gas
Plant Needed

The Oregon public service COM
mission, in a letter sent out by
Fred G. Buchtel, chairman of the
body, urged an investigation on the
part of the Portland Railway,
Light & Power company to de-
termine the exact status of It's, gas
plant operating in this city. The
letter indicates tina the demand
for gas has increased maerially
during the year 1920, and that the
plant is now operating at full ca
nacity. Continued increases in the
demand for gas, said Mr.. Buchtels
letter. would result in overburden-
ing the plant and shortening the
life of the retorts.
Mention also was made IN the
letter that the present quality OF
tbe gas. based on heat units, IS
somewhat below the standard as
required by the commission.
Mr.. BuchtePs letter follows:
"Recent investigation by the
commission indicates that the Sa-
lam gas plant is operating to prac-
tically its maximum of capacity
and that should the necessity
arise to materially Increase the
outnut. it would result in shorten
ing the life of the retorts and a
similar situation (gas shortage) 90
that occurring the past summer
would not be at all unlikely.
Records disclose that the gas
consumed during the past months
of 1920. has in each and every IN
stance. month by MONTH peen IN
excess of the 1919 consumption
and should this apparent present
,ormaI consumption continue. OF
as is not unlikely, increase, unless
nron,pt steps are taken. the gas
connpany will again find itself uIl-
able to adequately cope with the
situation. -,
1--WE therefore request that run
and complete Investigation De
made as to the necessity or desir-
abilitv of installing an additional
gas generating unit, and the re-
suits of the study promptly trans
nitted to the commission"

Chicago, Oct. 29.-Miss Alice M
Hogge, principal of the Webster
school here, may be called upon
to defend her recent action in refe-
reeing fist fight between Abe Sc
lon and Salvatore Sortina. which
Salvatore won. Miss Hogge said
the fist fight was a good way OF
deciding quarrels among the boys
of 22 nationalities attending her
school, She said Abe had been a
bit of bully and got when he de-
served. r
But today complaint against
Miss Hogge was filed by Abe's
mother, who said Miss Hogge was
unfit to be principal. She said she
did not object to the fighting but
charged that Miss Hogge urged Sal

Salem Gridders
Have $3.50 Shot
With Jefferson

With very little but fight to of
fer against Jefferson high tomor-
row afternoon, Salem high school
football men will trot out on
Sweetland field at $3.50 with moth.
ing more than a $3.50 chance foI
victory. Taking over the local
team, as he did, few hours be-
fore it's first big game, Acting
Coach "Tubby" Hendricks has all
the odds stacked against him--and
the stack is of no mean proper
tionS.
If the team has anything up its
collective sleeve to spring on the
Portlanders, it has either been
kept a dark secret, or Hendricks
has worked almost Impossible
wonders in the short period he has
been in charge. So far whatever
the black and red machine has
been able to accomplish as a
whole, has been largely the result
of individual effort.
Coach Quigley's eleven has not
been looking down from the up
permost rung of the Rose city
ladder, but it is reputed to be
good team and is said to nave
made remarkable strides during
the last few days. The Jefferson
mentor has in seasons past dem
onstrated his ability by humbling
many teams, and his men VIII uh-
doubtedly play a good brand Oh
football against Salem.
with a wealth of good mater
ial, the local eleven lacks only
coaching and, under HendricKs
eve. should be formidable after d
short time.
