BY SUBSCRIPTION MONEY
IS RAISED FOR CITY NEEDS
EUGENE, Or., Dec. 28. The five
mill tax reecntly levied by tho city
council of Crcswell was not large
enough to raise money to meet the
expenses of the city for the coming
year and a coinmltce from the couu
cil went among tho business men this
week . and secured subscriptions
amounting in the aggregate to $200
to help. It was at first thought best
to pass an ordinance taring an occu
pation tax to make up the deficiency
but tho former means was thought
better. Next year a higher tax will
be levied.

Rogue River Electric Co.
sri ' i
Some seven years ago J. W. Mitch
ell, a blacksmith, and K. C. Hoook, a
wngonmnkor, wore induced to pur
chase eighty acres of land over in tho
section of tho country then known as
tho "sticky" section. TJio section did
not belie its nnmo, nor does it yet;
but at that time those who were buy
ing land there and planting it to or
chard woro regarded as easy nmrks.
"Why thoy can't oven raiso their feet
when tho stick is right," was tho com
mon opinion.
A chnugo has como ovor tho spirit
of thoir dreams of late, howover. Big
crops havo boon hnrvcated from tho
black soil and tho fruit sold for big
prices.
But to como bnok to tho blacksmith
and tho wngonmnkor. Thoy paid $1,
COO of hard earned cash earned by
poundin? iron nnd building whocls
for tho eighty ncres. Thoy spent
porno omro sotting out tho trees. They
harvested n crop or two and then a
man enmo along and purchased 22
acres of tho SO for $17,000.
"They couldn't raise thoir feet" on
that Innd but in a few years they
raised its value from $20 to ocr
$750 an acre.
Notice to Water Users.
Onnccount of the ditch company
having tn clean their ditch water will
be turned off from the gravity pipe
lino today and the water Mipply for
about two mouths will be from Hoar
creek.
THE LIGHT
The bell has sounded tho knell of
kerosene, gasoline lights nnd other
forms of incompetent illumination.
Aro you ready to quit them?
Havon't you tolerated them lone
enough? There was n time when burning
pitch faggots furnished tho only
means of artificial illumination folks
knew about. And it was considered
sufficient.
Then came tho tallow dip, and ev
erybody discarded his pitch fnggjt
m disgucst.
Tho tallow candlo was next to ex
ert its supremacy ovor tho tallow
dip, and folks were glnd.
The next step of development was
kcrosino lamps, and thoy in then
turn were welcomed as a pleasing
step in tho right direction.
Then came tho gasolino lights,
which Jacksonville tried nnd cast
into the junk pile sovornl years ago.
And now as n logical dovj'opment
of science, wo have tho greatest of
all illurninants electricity.
Mnybo some day somothbig will
replaco electricity.
But tho probability isn't strong
enough to justify us in waiting frfi

QUESTION
No other form of artificial Ilium
innnt equals electricity in brilliancy,
safety, neatness, hoal(hfulness, econ
omy nnd choorfuliiepn.
Etc trie lighting emits no fumes
or odor, nnd is tho roe bygenio light
for living roonu and Led rooms.
Tin lact that electric light con
sumes no oxygen, liko nil open flame
lights do, proven it to bo the health
iest light known.
It keeps tho air as pure and whole
some as if no light were bunting at
nil.
The importance t f thin ono feature
is readily apparent when it is known
that an open flame light burns more
oxygen, from n room, than four por
sons would breathe.
No mateheri. No dangerous, dirty
mntchos are needed in the home that
is electrically lighted.
No washing nnd filling nf lamps,
no danger of explosions; no danger
f lenks; no plumbor's bills; no flick
ering flnmo to bo Mown nut by n sud
den gust of wind; no fino st.udge of
oot ocntinunlly emanating from
vour light to bo deposited on cur
tains, draperies, tuui furnUliiiip.
Alien you want to flood your homo
with light, simply turn the button.
Think hnrd now don't you want it?
