Government' engineers prepared re
port a few years ago for tha estab
lish meat of a large power plant on the
I -each UK'S Hirer as a central transmls
slon station for supplying electrical
energy In pumping water out of the
Columbia Mirer near Irrlaoa on tbe
!mmea area of lerel land In tbe
northern part of Morrow. UllUero and
Sherman Counties.
Qevevmsseat Hetatwa fUsfct.
While the project was retarded as
fonlble nothing has been done because
of tha Inab'llty to obtain tha
eary appropriation for such a frlirantlo
enterprise. The Government still
tains Its light to control as much of
the water power of the Deschutes
Hirer as It may want to use.
The company lust organised will
construct Its power plants near tha
mouth of the rtver. where they mill
not conflict with tha Government's
later operations. The company con
trols a large amount of land east of
t S reecnutee and directly sooth of tha
Columbia Klver. That tract wl'.l ba
developed and rlatted Into small farms.
Arcordlrg to present plabs, abjul IS.-
t4 horsepower, will ba developed.

"All the Important details of th
company are completed." said Mr. Park
yesterday. We have all toe capital

complete our plana Besides provld
Ins power for pumping water out of
the Columbia River on to oar holdings
we will have an Immense amouot cf

Th lNwchutcs Hirer Is one of in
creates! in the L'nlted States. It la
capable of producing 1.00. 000 horse

small share of the total.
Preliminary plans fir t obstruction
of the plants have bean made and with
the money available, wa will ba able

Mr. Park was formerly associated
with John F. Stevens, who anttl
rently was at the head of tha Hill

Purdy yesterday morning when Mra
Lola Maxfleld. formerly housekeeper

mitted that tha deed riven Purdy tor

nue property was forged. She asserts
that Purdy offered Evans 110.000 to

the Intention of Mrs. Butts to brine;
Evans hers to testify or to obtain his
deposition.
fceveral wseks afro Judge McGinn Is-
usd an order to County Clerk Fields
to place the deed to Purdy on record.
This was after he had- heard the tes
timony of Miss M- U Pratt, a public
stenographer, and 8. Welgle. the sub
scribing witnesses. Both said they saw
Winters affix his signature, and puray
declared that the consideration of $1
named In the Instrument was merely

ment, and that tha real consideration
lay In a series of deals la which he
and Winters had participated. He
nromlsed the old man. be said, that
tbe deed would not be produced until
after his death.

A proposal of D. B- Flack to sell

City Council by the Water Board yes
terday, but becauss ths communica
tion was not filed with City Auditor
Barbur until after tha official calendar

on suspension of the rule. Councilman
Magulre. Clyde and several others are
oppoelng the purchase of the plant,
and voted against consideration of tna
measure, thus delaying consideration
until tha next meeting.
Tha price now made for the water
system in Woodstock Is for the plant
exclusive of the real estate, pumping
plant and tanks. Residents of Wood

A tiff among Councilman Clyde. Bur-
gard and Joy took place at yesterday's
meeting of the City Council, when
Councilman Clyds declared that to re
fer to the street committee resolutions
discontinuing ths Improvement of 10
streets In Kenton would favor the pav
ing com pan lea. He endeavored to make
a speech on ths street of the Ellis par
ing amendment oa paving of those
streets, but was ruled out of ordsr by
Mayor Rushlight.
Councilman Burgard said Clyds was
wsy off his base" In bis remark about
the paving companies, and Councilman
Joy characterised Clyde's statemsnt as
"unjust."
It listens wall to talk about a pav
ing trust, and no doubt lends capital
to certain people who make such state
ments, said Councilman Baker. "The
Kenton people were given a bearing.
and there was na Intention on any
body's psrt to favor a paving trust.
Ths majority of the people ta that dis
trict wanted tha pavement.
Tbe resolution to dlscontlnus pro
ceedings, and another directing City
Engineer Hurlburt to prepsre plans
and specifications under the Ellis pav
ing amendment were referred back to

to complete whatever growth you desire.
You can. surely have pretty, soft, lustrous hair,
and lots of it, if you will just get a 25 cent bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine from any drug store or toilet
