GENERATING PLANT SERVZS TOKETEE PROJECT Pictured above i a newly installed hydro lactrie plant, locatad on Clearwater river, providing power for the Copeo camp at Toketee Falls and the tunnel construction job at Slide Creek, John C. Boyle, vice-president and general manager of The California Oregon Power Company, installed the unit, which uses water carried by viaduct from Clearwater, and dropped through two penstocks to turbines, driving 2300-volt generators. A spillway carries off surplus water from the reservoir. The hydroelectric plant re places diesal power plants formerly used. The plant will be removed when the Toketee power station is complete, as the ground area will be flooded by water from the 75-foot diversion dam. Use of Live Virus Vaccine Frowned Upon by Doctor The state of Oregon Is not granting any requests for the use of Newcastle disease vaccine live virus, reports Dr. Chas. F. Haynes, state veterinarian with the state department of agricul ture. He points out that licenses issued by the federal bureau of animal Industry to manufacturers of this product require that it be distributed in the state of destin ation only with consent of state livestock authorities. So far, Oregon authorities are not granting permission for use of the live virus .vaccine because It is felt. Dr. Haynes explains, that its use under present condi tions will only serve to Jeopar dize Oregon's 35 million dollar poultry industry. This Is because promiscuous use of the live virus vaccine will introduce Newcastle disease In flocks not Infected. Only 17 outbreaks of Newcastle disease have been reported in Oregon, and all of these are now under quarantine or were under quarantine until freed for slaughter. Aside from the out breaks reported, Oregon flocks MODERN TRACTOR POWER FOR SMALL FARMS ...

Recently returned to Salem from the National Veterinarian Association meeting at San Fran cisco, Dr. Haynes says that the consensus at this gathering was that insufficient work has been done on both live virus and killed or dead vaccines to warrant au thorization of their general use at this point. He emphasized that the depart ment, in administering the state livestock sanitary laws, will con tinue to take every precaution to prevent spread of Newcastle In Oregon. All cases so far found have been traced either directly or Indirectly to Importation from o'her states, he said. OLD AGE FORMULA TOKYO jOT Want to live to a ripe old age?

Buy A Horse, Says Boyle, and Join the Society of Sfrqths By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK UP) The possibility that man soon will travel to work on Jet-propelled buses is great news for all "S froths." Are you a Sfroth? Sf roths are members of the "Society for the Return of the Horse." It's an unofficial organization, but there are thousands of us, and more every year people who believe man's greatest moral mistake was abandoning his age old friend, the horse, for that treacherous ally, the machine. The prospect of jet-propelled buses was announced the other day by Sidney H. Bingham of the New York City board of trans portation, an expert on traffic problems. It Is therefore no idle dream. 1 It sounds more like a night mare. Presumably the buses will be equipped with maxim silencers before being put into service; as the Jet-propelled airplane of to day travels across the sky with the noise of a rolling thunder bolt. Without mufflers a cluster of Jet-propelled buses caught in a traffic Jam would break every ear drum in a city. The thought of either piloting or riding as a passenger in a Jet-propelled bus is something to appal the imagination of a man born in that golden day when there still were more horses than motor cars. What a Jules Verne Journey you'd have if you found yourself aboard one with defective brakes ! The mere suggestion of Jet propelled buses is enough to in still new confidence in all "sfroths" that the dav we havi? long-awaited is growing nearer the day the machine age collap ses in a final cacophony of clash ing gears. Then again we will hear the hoofbeats of the faith ful horse, riding anew to the rescue of mankind. The signs of this collaDse are all about us. Why do more and more people yearn for pensions and plot their lives so they -can retire early? Because thev can't stand the thought of riding to and from work in crowded, ear- snattering uncomfortable mach ines. Today only hunger and their wives' tongues drive many men from their quiet homes to risk life, limb and peace of mind on subway, bus or motor car. It wasn't thus In the good old days. A man walked to his place of labor or rode behind a safe, lriendly horse, and arrived fresh and eager of spirit. What does a man do with the time he now saves bv using fast modern vehicles? He uses it to go to the doctor who Is treating him for an incipient nervous breakdown. Recently I rode in an elevator whose Jockey said the vertical life was getting him down. "Why don't they make eleva tors more liveable ?" he asked wistfully ? "People rush in at one floor and rush out at another, and don't have any more to do with each other than clams. "I'd like to put a softdrink and lunch counter in my elevator and maybe a Juke box, too. Then people could eat and dance and sing and elevators would make more sense. But the manage ment won't let me." I could see that this man was WORK THIS HANDY 1I0RSE-AND-A-HAIF" on Your Farm or Garden Boens HUSKI Pewer-Ho I 'A Horsepower 2- Wheel Tractor 4 With "Pkisd Implements" Thit Plow, Seed, Hirrow, Cultivate, Mow, snd Clcir Snow.

A horse is a good Investment for anybody against the happy time when the fuel tanks run dry, the wheels cease to turn, the motors expire with a final gasp and pre-mach-ine-age silence returns to the world. .The wise sfroth will buy now before the market turns. There were 18,054.000 horses and mules in the United States In 1890. To day there are only about 10,000.-000.
