: 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.
The water rights have been securei
o as not to conflict with any others
he water Will bo taken out of th'
Umatilla river Just west of Hermlstor
and will be the drainage from the dif
ferent Irrigation systems. The loca
tions are below the last of the spill
ways of the government project, anc"
.vlll be so situated that they will gci
the benefit of the drainage from thi
Furnish-Coe and Hinkle projects. ' Af
ter It is used, the water will again bt

ibove the Irrigon dam so as not to in

Salt Lake City, Utah, Sept. 22. 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. ' ; ''
