WALTER M, PIERCE'S ADDRESS Learned M'ord-Plcture of Power Po. siullltles iu Colon County. a good record (Continued from uage I.) lumbia, the Sandy, and many great streams which in the years to come will afford Immense water power wa ter power reaching Into the hundreds of thousands of electric horse power. In Eastern Oregon we too are afforded some of the greatest natural sites for the development of electrical power thai there are in this great state of Oregon. In our own Union county we will see In years to come a series of water powers from the Grande Ronde extending to the Snake, devel oping several hundred thousand horse power. We believe there are at times of the year more electrical power In the. combined water power of Union county, than, at Niagara. I hope to see the time when the great Minani project, as dreamed of some months ago, wm oe carnea into eneei. inai stream coming from the fastnesses cf the mountains from the perpetual snows and ever living springs, if brought across the mountains, and dropped over here at a height of four teen hundred feet, will develope the highest electrical power, so far as 1 know, In the United States- From this one project one hundred thousand electric horse power can be developed. True it lies high in the mountains, and In the winter season will have to be protected by Immense reservoirs up the Minam and also at the head oi the Wallowa. It will have to be put over the mountain, and that will take money. Engineers can cope with these difficulties if they have the money. I believe the time will come when the electric power on the east side of the valley will become of in terest to capital. You might say that the horse power that it squired lor i the transporting of the O. n. & N.'s trains from Umatilla to Huntington is practically tweuty-five thousand nor- I sea. This would develope four times the amount of power now uswl by the 1 railroad company, and the railroad ; companies today, we are told, are the reate6t users of our timber, and, too they are greatest users of our coal. and in the years to come will be the greatest users of elmrlcal jower. It is probably Bafe to say that in the eastern part of union and Wallowa counties there can be developed four -jr five hundred thousand elctrical horse power. This electrical power we find today put to numerous uses. We find it running our sewing ma chines; also cooking here in many places In town, and at Hot Lake, and all over the country; we find it light ing our homes, we find it In a hundred and on ways a part of our life, until we regard Is as an actual necessity, and this wonderful thing we don't know what Is is, coming In over little copper wire the size of a pencil over mountains thousands of feet high and over 40 feet of snow, and still we can hardly realize that our light and power are conveyed through that little copper wire. And yet again the waste water may be used for irrigation, as it can be after the power has been de veloped from them. We can hardly Imagine the teeming population that will be here In years to come.. Elec trical power is undoubtedly one of the greatest things that God has hidden away in his mysterious way for the uses of man. We don't know r'".t It is or where it comes from, extcyt out of the air.' It comes and dies in o moment. It comes with th power and strength of a giant, and dies th same Instant it Is made. We are liv ing In a wonderful age. We are liv ing in the age of all ages to be liv ing, and yet to some life Is not su blime. , La Grande Professional Directory rilTSICIASS. J. H. HUBBARD. M. D.
