Down Those who wish to conserve the fuel supply of our country, whether it be coal, wood, otl or gas, should advocate development of our water powers. During tha year 1915, one Washing ton power company, the Puget Sound Traction. Light A Power, at it*'Var ious water power plants, generated electricity in the amount of auout 296 kilowatt hours. This power was made out of water power, the force of water runing down hill. The same amount o f electrical | kjw * r could have been made by burning coal under boilers. To do this would have required 789,000 tons of coal. Prior to the development of water power gen eration, the coal burning method would have been employed. Hence the use of watei power, which would otherwise have been wboliy watted, saved in 1916 for the people of this state, 799,000 tons of coal. The coal will not spoil. It ia an actual saving, saved for future use in other parts of the world where water power la not available. The water would have to rundown hill juat the same, whether he had used it to turn generating machinery or not. No man can "save” water power. You can save coal, or wood, or oil or any other fuel, but water goes right on running down hill. Also you cannot destroy water power. By using it to day, you do not lessen the supply of tomorrow. Coal once burned is gone. Water power used ia saved. The Ulk about "conserving” watar power ia foolish chatter, on the fac* of it. There is enough water running down hill in thia state alone to. turn the wheels of every factory In th* United States, if it were harnessed and the power could be transferred around tbe country. The only way to conserve water power ia to use it today, instead of using some other force which is con sumed when uaed. Think of the amount of coal being saved annually by the different power planU on the 1'aciAc coast. It is up to congress to pats legislation encourag ing, instead of discouraging the future development of thia great industry. Further, no additional tax burdens should be placed on water power de velopment by the national government. IS TAKING VACATION M. J.

Stayton - - IÍE ÍI2 Ü S t - O regon i.::i ¿ n a iil c a f z A real effort to have the comet high way of Mexico to Canada marked and placed in good shape for tourists by next spring will be undertaken by the International Highways Association, following a report made by Albert Gill Waddell and Jack Griffin, who re cently made the run in the famous world’s no-stops Maxwell. Secretary Charles Heffer I.inderman of the Highways body has outlined a plan of action which, it ia expected, will be endorsed by every Chamber of Commerce and commercial and eivic body in the cities touched by the Coaat route. Active in the work will be J. E. Montgomery of the Marshfield Cham ber of Commerce, one of the moat strenuous and effective good roads ad vocates in the West. "The principal thing to overcome is the effects of the number of tales which have been sent broadcast re garding touring conditions on the coaat route,” said Secretary Linder- man. The report of the Maxwell party shows the Coaat road in fair shape and of such construction aa to permit of easy summer traveL Where fast time was desired the Maxwell party on its recent run. covered the ground at gcod speed. Tbe okl car they employed was by no means a racing machine, and waa probably in no better shape than the average standard touring vehicle used by motonata. Yet the only atop for repairs of any sort was to replace a tire that had already seen 12,000 miles of service. This alone shows that the Coast route cannot be in such shape as may have been led to believe. METHODIST CHURCH "The Marching Orders of the Church and The Might of the Mite’’ or "How Little Things Have Made Hiatory” will tx the respective sermon topics by the minister at the Sunday services. In the evening at 7 o’clock, Mrs. Lilly will have charge of the Epworth League program, when a rally day program will be put on.

Solitude is found in vast stretches of the plain and forest, but loneliness is found only- in the crowded haunts of man. It is the poor-, outcast from so ciety who sees his fellows on ail sides enjoying happiness who really knows the bitter pangs suffered by a lonely man. It was loneliness that brought to gether the two leading characters in the Mutual Masterpicture, De Luxe Edition, “The Overcoat,” a five act sociological drama produced by the Amendan Film Company, Ir.c., which will be shown at the Star Tneatre on Saturday night, with Rhea Mitcbeil, William Stowell and a cast of noted film players.
