OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST DYNAMO WRECKS MILL. Ten-Ton Fly Wheel Leaps Hundreds of Feet. Hood River.—Failure of the gov erning machinery to work on the big dynamo of the Oregon Lumber com pany at its power plant at Dee caused the electric generator to run away and wreck the plant. Part of the 10-ton flywheel which exploded was blown across the river several hun dred feet. The accident put 150 men out of employment. Although many men were employed in the vicinity of the accident, no one was injured, the electrician escaping by being absent from the building The plant cost the company $50,000 and was the first electric power plant to be used in operating a sawmill on the coast. The accident is a doubly expensive one to the company, as in addition to the loss by damage to the power plant it is expected that the big mill, which was cutting from 150,- 000 to 200,000 feet of lumber a day. will have to remain idle a month be fore repairs can be made. Electrical experts have been sent for and everything will be done to push the installation of new niachin- ery at once. _________ # Get Water From McKenzie. Eugene.—The McKenzie Valley Ir rigation & Power company has elected the following officers: J. A. Youn- green, president; N. Needham, vice- president; H. Phellaplace, secretary, and W. A. Platt, treasurer. Engineer McArthur will start the preliminary survey for the proposed irrigation canal at once. The water will be taken from the west side of the McKenzie near Hendricks’ ferry. At this point the river is walled with solid rock, which will have to be blasted out. The canal will furnish water to irrigate the farms between the McKenzie and Willamette rivers west of Springfield. Big Irrigation Project.

Break New Law. Salem. —A large number of state of ficera ami employes were surprised tn learn that they have violated the new corrupt practices act by contributing to campaign funds. The act was adopted by the people last June and its terms wore published both before ami after election. Moreover, copies of that and all other acts submitted were mailed to all registered voters. But public offi cers overlooked or forgot the provisions forbidding them to make contributions and many of them have “dug up’’ al ready in this campaign. TURKEY APPEALS TO POWERS.
