GF.HTAVE, KINO taking: in local and Eastern capital has filed water rights on the John Day river, about 12 miles above Monument, for the purpose of constructing a power plant to supply Heppner with liprht and power. The present system, owned by Gates & Co.. is inadequate to supply this city wih the light needed, and is taking this procedure to remedy the evil. The company has surveyed out a ditch and power site and filed rights on it and has also ' surveyed out a dam site where the river can be put over a fall of 70 feet. It is not likely that either project will be touched un til next Spring or Summer, as Mr. Gates desires to travel in Mexico and other states, looking over different projects where dams are used- From either project a plant with a capacity of developing 2009 horsepower is to be Installed, which will give Heppner ana Morrow county plenty of power and ight for some years to come.

FUNDS ARE BADLY NEEDED Canal Could Be Completed In Three and One-Half Years if Congress Would Vote Lump Sum, v Declares Engineer. After Inspecting work on the Celilo Canal and other Government projects on the Upper Columbia on Saturday, Brigadier-General William L. Marshall, Chief of Engineers of the United States Army, left early yesterday morning to look over the Columbia River Jetty and the fortifications at Forts Columbia, Stevens and Canby. ''Work on the Celilo Canal is pro gressing as rapidly and as favorably as could be expected in view of the puny appropriations that have been available for It," said General Marshall. 'If Congress would allow us enough money for a lump contract on the whole work we could complete the canal In three years and a half. As it is it may take 20. "However, that is a matter that is largely up to the people out here them selves. The United States engineers are not aliowed to ask for any appro priations, or even to make recommenda tions for them. If you people in this country can stir up your Congressmen and gpt them to working for a big ap proprlation, then perhaps the thing can be done. "The completion of the canal will be of the greatest importance to Oregon, Washington and even Idaho, for it will result in the immediate lowering of freight rates through a great countrj;. I believe, however, there will be onky a very slight increase in river traffic if there is any, when the canal is final ly opened. This has been the case upon the completion of every great river im provement the Government has ever undertaken. It, has been repeatedly shown that the railroads lower their rates to a point so low that even the rivermen cannot meet it an'd are prac tically forced out of business. "The result is a lowering of freight rates, however, so the benefit to the shippers is the same as if river traffic had increased. Why is It that on the Mississippi River the railroads carry almost all the freight that is carried? And why is it that there is not a single through passenger or freight boat on the Great Lakes fronx Chicago to Du luth? Simply because' on the comple tion of improvements by the Govern ment opening the river and deepening water in the inland harbors the rail roads reduced their rates at once. About all the steamboat traffic there is on boats owned by the railroads them selves. "So it wU4 be when the Celilo Canal is finished. The work there is like driving a pinhole through a man's heart. It will relieve the great pressure of freight traffic. It s just a little hole, hut it will be Mg enough to do the work." After returning to Portland tonight. General Marshall will leave with his wife tomorrow for San Francisco and San Pedro. Some idea of the important posi tion which General Marshall holds and of the vast amount of work he has under his "charge can be gained by . knowledge of the fact that the Celilo Cafial is only one of 5TS different improvement projects, some of them of vast extent, which he directs. Pesides this General Marshall has jurisdiction over and must keep in touch with all Government fortifications of defense where big guns- are mounted. FLEET SPENDS. BUSY DAY Big Fighting Machines Coal for Tar get Range Cruise. OLD POINT COMFORT, Va., Aug. 8. The Atlantic battleship fleet anchored in two long lines in Hampton Hoards off Old Point was the scene of animation today the preparations for departure for the hard work on the drill grounds south of the Virginia capes being evident on board every one of the 15 big fighting machines. The vessels have been ordered to sail for the target range tomorrow afternoon, and it was necessary for them to coal today. ' monarch. I si ; . ... BLOCKHOUSE WILL BE THEIR TARGET Members of Battery A to Fire at Structure on Tilla mook Head. MODEL CAMP AT SEASIDE Arlillei-vmen Are Under Canvas for Nine Days Gunners to Practice With High Explosive Shells and Shrapnel. Demolition by artillery fire of a block house erected on Tillamook Head is the feat that will be undertaken this morn ing by Battery A, of the Oregon Na tional Guard, as the most Important part of its annual target practice camp near Seaside. Construction of the blockhouse was completed yesterday by a detail sent out from the battery camp. From a range of from 3000 to 6000 yards the artillery men ' will undertake the blowing up of the target. High explosive shells will be used and it is merely a matter of getting the range. One ex plosive projectile fired-from one of the battery's three-inch field rifles will do the trick if properly placed. Practice to Last for Week. Target practice at canvas targets dis tributed about Tillamook Head will con tinue through the week. The battery will expend its annual allowance from the Government of 130 shrapnel and 10 explosive shells. The practice will be continued under the supervision of Cap tain H. U. Welch and his officers. An officer of the Regular Army, Captain L. S. Lyons, Fourth Field Artillery, is at tending the target practice to report on tiie effectiveness of the organization.- Since Friday afternoon the battery has been under canvas near Seaside and the camp will 'continue until next Saturday. The regular detail is for seven days, but the enthusiasm of the battery men in their work here led. them to put in two extra days without com pensation. Otherwise their stay in camp would have been limited. to five days. two days being consumed in travel, go ing and coming, and in the establishment of camp. t Busy Programme Arranged. It is'a busy programme that Captain Welch and his Lieutenants have laid out for the week. First call for reveille sounds at 5:25 A. M., with reveille and assembly five minutes later. Fatigue duty precedes breakfast at 6:55 o'clock. Morning drill commences at 8 o clock, and continues three hours. Thereafter the day's routine continues without interruption until retreat, at 7:30 P. M. Call to quarters sounds at 10:45 and taps at 11 P. M. Thus far revolver and sub-caliber practice has occupied the attention of the battery during drill hours. An ideal pistol range has been set up just back of the battery camp, and near the old Hoiladay House. Slow, rapid and timed fire practice has been had with excellent results and many big scores. Batterjnien Are -"Anxious. The practice with the big field guns will, of course, be the event of the camp, and the batterymen have been awaiting its advent with impatience. After a season of range finding, drills and practice in the, handling of field cannon, the batterymen are anxious to try their skill. In view of the good records at target practice of past years the gunners are confident of rolling up enviable scores. Four canvas targets will be used for the shrapnel, in addition to the blockhouse for the explosive shells. These targets- will be fired on from various ranges along the beach. As soon ae a couple of shells are effectively placed, the field rifle will be moved to a new position. This is done to get the most out of the opportunity fori practical training in range-nnuins. Find Own Distances. Unlike the target practice of the in fantry service, the artillerymen have to fire at unknown distances, at least their distances are not marked off for. them. It Is a matter of estimating distances, in which unusual skill in the handling of range-finding devices is required. As to1 blowing up the blockhouse on Tillamook Head, the batterymen were confident yesterday of being able to accomplish that feat in half a dozen shots. They were alsto predicting that the canvas targets would have to be renewed after each day's firing. An ideal battery camp has been es tablished in the Woods a half mile south of Seaside. All the equipment is in camp except horses for the field rifles. This makes It neoessary for the gun crews to draw the pieces and caissons by hand. Many visitors . were at the camp yesterday. It was a great day, all unnecessary duties being suspended on account of the day-being Sunday. Besides Captains Welch and Lyons, the officers In camp are: Lieutenant Lee M. Clark, Lieutenant Frank F. Randall, Lieutenant John P. Krupke, Lieutenant G-. B. Otterstedt and Lieu tenant R. E. L. Holt. The attendance comprises 8 men. ' Amusements What the Preae Areata Say.
