grades at the start und unless an
emergency arises will constitute
the grade faculty?
A staff of six teachers, besides
Hupt. Uennett, will handle tho high
school work. This also provides
for ft cut of one teacher. The

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, (AP)
British engineers who are fust
completing the world's biggest
dam on the Itlue Nile In the Sudan,
huvo triumphed In a six months'
race against the Nile floods.
The chief object or tho dam It
to raise tho level of the water at
this spot to a helghth at which It
will flow through canals to Irri
gate a tract of more than 3tiui
acres of land.
The annual floods, which reach
their highest in nild-July, threat
ened to nullify the work of tho en

have pushed the operations with
an army of lU.uiMl workmen foi

IJAKXOX PARK. Mass., (Spec

4,000.000 electrical horso power
on the St. Utwrence IUver whe
ther the, waterway project Is un
dertaken or not. has again
'irought up the problem of the ef
fect of super-power development

Babson, believen that siieh a de
velopment will strengthen 11m lo
cal companies and work to (he ad
vantage of those who 'own their
securities.
"Super-power propose h ,1o
'bank' Ihe power of existing 'pro
ducers of elect rlea I energy by
connecting Individual systems and
adding the out pul of water .pow
ers that may be developed as ec
onomical sources of electrical en

-dnglo system has-been proposed,
for instance, that woulrf embrace
all territory between liostoii und j
Washington, l. '. This would im-
mediately make the same electric-!
systems that supply uniform elec
tric service over large areas would

of many railroads. Where steam
power is necessary the energy
could be generated at the nearest
possible point to the railroads and
transmitted by high power Hues
to the point where it Is needed.

"It Is estimated that our energy

A saving of some r.o.ouo.iino tons
of coal would also be made by the
super-power organization In pro
ducing this volume of power.
"Just now, when we have a tre
mendous cash reserve and busi
ness s a bit slack- the ltahson
chart shows general activity at
14 percent below normal we may
well turn our attention toward super-power

Rivers Of
Electricity
High over your heads ccusclessly flow rivers of electricity to serve
your daily needs of light, heat and power.
When electricity -was first developed it could be used only on the
spot, then it was transmitted by rape drive for a few. hundred feet.
Turned into electricity, its transmission range at first was limited to
a few miles. Then came the wonderful development of high voltage
transmission lines which today serves a total of more than 1I,0()0,000
actual customers in the United Stated. 5 ;.
'ihe lOiustern Oregon Light and Tower Company has over one hundred
and sixty miles of these, rivers of electricity in the form of high voltage
tiansMiission lines from which flow countless rivulets of light, heat und
imvvcr to over 2,0(0 people in Eastern Oregon.
Cities, towns, rural communities and other places sciTcd by these
Kastcrn Oregon rivers of power, include Baker, La Grande, Union, Klgin,
North I'owdcr, Haines, Iinblcr, 'Cove, Alicel, Summerville, Island City,
Sampler, Hon rue, Tclocasct, Rock Creek, Hot Lake and others, which
places arc all connected by these rivers which flow without interruption
from the five generating plants of the company. . '
These generating plants are so located .over this territory (hat in
practically every case, if trouble should develop at one of them, the
other plants increase their generation and continue the flow of the
rivers of electricity uninterrupted to pur customers.
