MINAM PROJECT ONE THAT AT

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. ,
