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.
I n Grande.—At a meeting held to
discuss methods and devise plans for
the promotion of the big irrigation
project that is now the source of great
interest in this valley, committee-'
were appointed tn cover the entire
valley in a canvass for subscriptions
A considerable portion of the amount
necessary to assure success in the un
dertaking has already been subscribed
and tjiere is but little doubt that
within a few weeks the project will
be well under way.
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.

Ontario.—A meeting of the Ontario

take action looking to the revival of
the Malheur project. It is known that
the reclamation department is now
looking for an irrigation propect in
this state, ami that there is ’money
available for that purpose. The Mal­

most feasible in the state of Oregon,
and if the matter is brought before Gu­
government properly it is thought fa

Ready to Drill for Oil.
San Francisco, Oct. 7.—Assembled to
promote the common interests of near­
ly a score of states comprising the west,
several hundred delegates in attend
ance upon the opening session of the
Nineteenth TransMississippi Commer-
cial Congress yesterday listened to
gratifying assurances of co-operation
and support from the national admin
istration, from the representative of 20
republics of the western continent, who
are interested in the pending delibera­
tions, from the two leading candidate
for tiie presidency of the United State ‘S
and from the leading citizens of the
states and territories comprising their
own organizations.
Reserving for the succeeding days of
the congress the spirited debates
promised on the conservation of nat­
ural resources and kindred topics, the
visitors yesterday basked in the
warmth of a welcome extended by
practically every official representa­
tive of tlic state and city honored by
their coming, and in the afternoon re­
ceived with enthusiastic delight the of
ficial ’assurances of two speakers who
promised a splendid fulfillment of west­
ern hopes and western ideals.
Not the least striking feature of the
session was the astonishment ex­
pressed by delegates who witnessed for
the first time the rapid rebuilding of
San Francisco. A dozen speakers de
dared that the marvelous restoratidff
of the city destroyed less than three
years ago would prove the inspiration
of the congress.
