& Light Company has announced g
new rate for large power users, which
gives Kelso as low power rate as can
be found anywhere and will prove a
big factor in inducing industries to
locate here. The rate applies to users
who have motors of twenty horsepower
or over. The former rate was &c per
kilowatt for the first 100 kilowatts, 4c
for the next 60 kilowatts and &c for all
additional, and the new rate is &c per
kilowatt for the first 100 kilowatts and
1c per kilowatt for all above that. The
new rate will mean big saving to the
city of Kelso at it's pumping plant.

will be 600 feet long, IL feet wide and
4 feet deep; while the third will be
1000 feet long, IL feet wide and feet

partment of zoology, prove successful

experimenting with Japanese oyster

OLYMPIA.-Govern Hartley has
adopted a new policy in granting ex-
ecutive paroles. He is writing per-
sonal appeal to every paroled man to
make good"
In granting several paroles to con-
victs in the penitentiary and reform
atory few days ago, the governor
expressed regret that he could not
meet the paroled men personally, and
decided to write letter with each
parole. He sent the following letter
to one of the paroled men, which is
typical of all:
"You are being given your liberty
because of the belief of penitentiary
officials and the governor that, II given
a chance, you will be man in the
true sense Of the word.
"Just remember that society owes
you nothing, except as you earn 1t, and
the only demand which society makes
upon you is that you be law abiding
citizen. Your future is what you make
it. II you see fit to hold up your head
like man and live life of honesty,
honor and sobriety, you will find most
decent folks ready and willing to lend
helping hand. If you try to beat the
game" you can expect nothing but
poverty, suffering, misery and more
prison bars"
