Increases Explained

The increases in electric and water rates
petitioned for by the Public Service Com
pany very modest compared with ihe
increases demanded and paid for most COM
modities. They do not exceed rs per cent
in any class, compared with SO per cent in
crease in passenger fares on the railroads
and ranging Up to 700 per cent in the case
of sugar, which, SO far as we know, is at
the apex of the pyramid of high prices. The
prohteer, unrestra:ned by the public utilities
commission or other regulating body, would
look on rs per cent increase with con-
tempt bagatelle not worth considering
This would imply that the public utilities
commission is of some use in the world. in
spite of the kicks we are in the habit of
bestowing on it.
Instead of IL cents per kilowatt hour
which the small user of electricity has been

ing the privilege OF charging 10 cents. In
stead of 8 cents per kilowatt hour which
the large user is paying now, The company
is asking 8 cents. The comme,c ial rate
would be IL cents instead Of 10. and me
users of maximum quantities of electricity,
Of whom there are none outside Of the bak-
cries, we believe, would pay cents instead
of 3 cents.

cents. The minimum rate of $1.75 per
quarter year remains in force, so that a
little rationing and care in the use of wat
will protect the small consumer from
creased rates. The large user of water will
pay the increase of around rs per cent
There is nothing in the schedule on file
in the Office of the company here in regard
to street lighting rates or fire hydrant rental.
The contracts the two towns have with the
company for this service soon expire.

HOUSE WARMING
A SUCCESS

The housewarming of the Public
Rest Room Saturday, July S1st, de-
veloped into one of those delightful
getto-gether and have-agood-time
affairs.
Toledo community, and that means
everybody within radius of anywhere
from one to nine miles, Is deeply in
terested in the Rest Room and Library
and the generous spirit shown insures
the permanent success Of the enter
prise.
Organizations, beginning with the
Toledo Orchestra under the manage
ment of Mrs. Frank Carson followed
by the Whist Club and the Parrish
School District, are giving benefits
and individuals are contributing time,
most precious of commodities, and
money, a most necessary factor in
making the wheels go round-all with
such whole hearted interest that the
ladies' of the Civic Club who are in
charge of the work as representatives
of the community feel like redoubling
their efforts in order to be worthy OF
the trust.
The financial part of Saturday S
affair was not expected to be fea
ture, the ladies making a small charge
for refreshments to be sure of good
attendance, but when the cash was
counted at the close of the day they
found net gain of $25.77.

PORTS TO PUT UP
MORE MONEY

Before taking over the jetty work
at the mouth of the Yaquina Bay, the
Government has notified the ports
of Toledo and Newport that it will be
necessary for them to raise funds
equal to one half Of the cost of build
ing the jettys, at present costs, This
means that the ports will have to put
in about $125,OOO more apiece than
was originally expected.
At joint meeting of the ports held
here Monday evening it was agreed
to meet this demand Of the Govern
ment, providing bonds of the port can
be sold at any where near par value.
A banquet will be held at the Abbey
Hotel next Monday evening, at which
time our Congressman and Represen-
tatives will be with us, and the harbor
improvements will be gone into. The
ports intend making an effort, through
Congress, to have this extra amount
that has been demanded, returned to
them. The banquet is open to every
one. IL you desire to attend you
should notify your port commission,
so that arrangements can be made for
the proper number.

q HURT WHEN AUTO
DIVES OVER 2 BLUFFS

Two children and two women, one
of whom tonight was near death, were
injured last night when an automobile
driven by j. c. Carson, backed over
two embankments south of Yachats
and landed upside down on the beach
below. One of Carson's daughters
aged three, sustained cut that nearly
tore her ear away, the other, aged
five, sustained fractured skull; Mrs
Carson, who is about to become a
mother again, was injured internally
so seriously that tonight it was
thought that she could not recover
and Mrs. Carsons mother sustained a
crushed ankle.
Mrs. Kocher, a sister of Mr. Carson,
and her baby, escaped injury when
Mrs. Kocher, carrying the child, leaped
from the car as it started its backward
race.
At the time of the accident the car
was ascending the grade on the Flor
ence-Yachats road The engine was
KILLED" when Mr. Carson tried to
shift gears at point where the road
runs about 100 feet above the beach
and on the point of bluff.
AS Carson left the car to crank the
engine, the machine started backing
down the hill.
Carson made run for the steering
wheel and managed to keep the car in
the road for about so feet, when ii
turned off down a steep bank some 4C
| feet high. Reaching the bottom, still
upright, the car proceeded up short
incline and hurled over precipitous
cliff onto the beach 80 or 10 feet below
Mr.. Carson, without realizing wha
he was doing, leaped to the beach, HI
Escaped injury, but found the rest O
the party unconscious on the beach.
DR.. Leonard Of Portland happened t.
be near and gave assistance, Mrs
Kocher had hurried to a nearby houst
