ELECTRIC PLANT PLANNED Power for AH Torposcs to Bo Kur nKhed From W allowa River. VvALtW.. Or, April 11. tSpeclal.V To develop ! horsepower in a new elec tric plant on the Wallowa River 20 miles below this city; to purchase all fran chises In this and Union counties: to supply electricity for power to all towns and rural communities in the two coun ties and to supplv light and power at every farming district between Joseph and La Cirande are among the plana of the newly-formed McCully-Rutnble Power Company recently organised and pro moted by V. D. McCully. of Joseph, and K. W. Rumble, of La Grande. The com pany has secured a site on the Wallowa River along the O.-W. R- a; N. Co. Such Is the statement made by those who are closely allied with the pro moters of the enterprise. A hydraulic engineer from Portland has been called to the site of the proposed plant and announces that It la entirely feasible and will easily develop 10M horsepower. Power wires will be carried to Elgin In an almost direct line, crossing the rich Cricket Flat farming country and supplying- power and light to the farmers of that district.

Olympians Will Profit by Tlans Made to Develop Semi Arid Country. OLTMPIA. Wash, April U.-8peciaI.) Irrigation In Thurston County will be g'ven a complete test during the next year or two. as two big projects are well under way at the present time. A corporation has been formed to put 'ter on 7500 acres of land around Yelm. the Nlsqually River to be tapped for that purpose, while the Western Irrigation Company lias paid .0u for 920 acres of land a few miles northeast of Roch ester, which Is to be put under water this yesr. . The Yelm project, which Is backed chiefly by holders of land In the proposed Irrigation district and Olympla men. is by far the largest of Its kind ever at tempted In this section of the state. The Yelm Irrigation corporation is already organised and 00 has been raised In stock subscriptions to carry on the work. There Is no stock held except by arr ested parties who plan to bring under water all the arid section, and semi arid section of land between Olympla . v. . vi...Qnv niver. The river It muu ! ifl.(uBi.j . self has been pronounced by Irrigation engineers as highly satisfactory for irri gating land on account of the great amount of silt carried by the current. While the Yelm people are tapping the Nlsqually River the project south of Olympla Is to be watered by pumps and wells. This Is not so large a plan as the former, but It will test out the Irrigation scheme on a large plan, since It has been shown to be a success on a smaller plan. It Is claimed by the old-timers that In the days of the Hudson Bay Com pany around Olympla. these prairies were covered with a growth of bunch grass that half concealed a horse. Then cattle were turned loose on the plains, and when the sheep followed It Is claimed that the ground never recovered and has since been barren. fish mMi view WARDEN' CliAXTOV KINDS ONE LvYDDER NOT KXOCGH.

" A man does not count as wasted the time be spends In thinking over his business, but he seems loth to give the eame sort of careful attention to him self and to his health. And yet his business would be worth little without good health to care for It. A business man tells how he did himself good by carefully thinking over his physical condition, investigating to find out what was needed, and then changing to the right food. "For eome years I had been bothered a great deal after meals. My food semed to lay like lead In my stomach, producing heaviness and dullness and sometimes positive pain. Of course this rendered me more or less unfit for bustness. and I made up my mind that something would have to be done. "Reflection led me to the conclusion that over-eating, filling the stomach with Indigestible food, was responsible for many of the Ills that human flesh endures, and that I was punishing my self In that way that was what was making me eo dull, heavy and uncom fortable, and unfit for business after meals. I concluded to try Grape-Nuts food to see what It could do for me.- "I have been using It -for some months now. and I am glad to say that I do not suffer. any longer after meals: my food aeeme to assimilate easily and perfectly, and to do the work for which it was Intended.
