PROJECTS : Pendleton Sept. 22. he East Ore gonlan said last evening: -v Echo, Hermlston and Umatilla are all soon to have .electric llchta. ac cording to an announcement made thfs morning by Attorney J. . Hlnkle. Mr. Hinkle says that O. D. Teal, CoU H. G. Newport, Ross Newport and himself have formed a company for building ditches, and installing electric poweV plants on the Umatilla river near HtrmIston. Not only has the company been formed, but right of way has been secured fr two power ditches Immediately west of HermlRton ani the actual 'Work of ditch construction has been started.- ' ' . The locations for the ditches were made six months ago under the name ot the U. & M. Developments company and the reason that work was started immediately upon the completion of the new organization was because th .ime limit for beginning work had al most expired. ' , Hinkle says the work on the ditches will be rushed as rapidly as possible, and that 'they will be completed and the power plants established and r operation before next summer. Hi ilso says their estimates sho'w thej can. develop 500 horse power at these points. ' " If this amount of power Is develop ed It will be sufficient not only to fur aish electric lights and power for thi towns of Hermlston, Echo and Uma :111a, but It will also make possible am' practicable a small electric rallwaj system, tapping the very center p: hat rich Irrigation territory.

To lay lsa notable unniversary In thi history of the Church of Jesus Chris f Latter Day fialnts. or Mormons ?n September 22. 85 years ago, Joseph -he youthful prophet who founded thi H'Ct, for the first time beheld thi tatcs upon which the book of Mor mon was engraved. According to Mormon history, al light between the 21st and 22nd o September, 1823. the prophet com municated with a heavenly messenger vho appeared to him three times. It Is one of the most remarkable vlts f a being from the other world, on record. After a period of prayer anC supplication, previous to retiring, tht prophet became aware of the cover of light by which the angel was sur rounded. And then he saw the heav 'nly visitor hlmsfir. His appearance Is described, even to his clothing, and his name is given. Three times. the angel appeared that night, each time with a special mes sage In addition to that already de livered. The first time the messenget made known to the prophet that sa cred records were deposited In a near by mound. The message was accom panied by quotations from the Scrip tures, proving that the new epoch In the history of the world now about to be Inaugurated was predicted by the ancient prophets. The second time the visitor appeared he told the pro. phet of great Judgments that were to come upon the earth In the form of tamine, sword and pestilence. The third time the messenger came , and warned the prophet that the sa.-rert treasures about to be entrusted to his tare were not to be used for the grati fication of greed, but for the alorlfi- catlon of God. The visions occupied '.he entire ADVERSARY Of MOM night, and In the morning the pro- phet related his experiences to his father, who felt Impressed that the visit was from God, and advised his son to . do as the angel haij directed him.' Accordingly he went to the Hill Cumorah and found the sacred treas ures deposited as he had seen la the vision, - Here, too,' Moroni appeared and instructed him regarding the fu ture work he was called upon to do. Thus was born the church which, after years oi persecution, has se cured temporal ' as well as spiritual control of one state and is rapidly ex tending its propaganda throughout the world.
