THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1S 1915. 16 . . GELILO IS REPORTED Task Feasible but Not Advis able From Commercial Standpoint, Is Edict. DOCUMENT UP TODAY I.ri.-lativc Investigators Named in 19 13 Complete Inquiry Find ings to lie Filed With , Reclamation Review. STATE CAPITOL, sjalem. Or.. Feb. 1". (Special.) That the Columbia River power project at Celilo !s feasible from aii -engineering standpoint but the de velopment not advisable from a com mercial one are the features of a report that will be made to the Senate by the legislative committee appointed at the 1913 session to make an investigation. Th- report was prepared by the com mittee's engineer, William K. .Morns, of Portland, and Is approved by all members of the committee but State Kncineer Lewis. s-enator Day. chairman of the com mitter, said that the report would be tiled in connection with the report of Ihe Reclamation Service, which worked in conjunction for a time with the com mittee. E. G. Hopson, supervising en gineer of the Reclamation Service, was Ihe engineer in charge and L.. F. Harza was the project engineer. The report ot the. reclamation service was written by .Mr. Harza and approved by Mr. Hopson. f Diaerepaney Is Iioted. Attention is called by Mr. Morris to a w We discrepancy in tiie reports of Mr. Harza made in 1913 and 1914. In the first report the engineer said the cost .f the project would be J2:t. 076.000. or J 77 a horsepower for SOO.uOO horse power. In the second report he said the cost would be between $61,000,000 and $78,000,000. or from $9.85 to $37.50 u vcar for primary horsepower of 480. 000. The general plan of the Reclama tion Seryice .involves the control of the entire river and the placing of a dam five miles east of The Dalles. It antici pates the installation of 23 main gen crating units, each capable of develop ing 60,0110 horsepower. The report of the Reclamation Service says that 4 80, Oo'O horsepower could be developed throughout the year and 320.000 addi tional eight months of the year. It further says that an investment of from $35,000,000 to $40,000,000 would be nci:csfary before any power whatever could be developed, and thnt it would not be possible to make the necessary hydraulic development by stages. I'ommerrhrl Demand Seen. Concerning the finding of the board of review appointed by Secretary of the interior Lane, the committee's engi neer f-ays: "The findings of the board of review show there is no "resent commercial demand to justify immediate develop ment of this project and it ioes not consider that the growth of the power leinand under normal conditions would be sifcicicnt to absorb the output of the proposed plant. The impracticablity f such an enormous development of horsepower costing anywhere from $61, (00.004 to $78,000,000 requiring a market for JiO.OOO continuous and 320.000 sea sonal horsepower a total of 800,000 of horsepower is patent to others of less distinction than the gentleman com prising the board of review. 'That no other conclusion could be reaches! by the board is apparent when we consider existing developments such as Keokuk. 150,000 horsepower; with t. Louis and other nearby cities offering a market: Niagara Falls, about ino. "'. horsepower near a density of population; in and around Portland about 120.000 horsepower where the population is 3 per cent of the entire ttate." The fact that the power derived from coal under existing conditions is cheaper for ccitain purposes than elec tricity, (he report says, is no argument that aydro-electrio development should await the exhaustion of coal, but such development should 1c made to the end that coal will not be exhausted. Be--cause of the high price of fuel, manu facturing in Oregon has not kept pace with the growth of population in the pat 60 years, says the report. The further development of the state's water power, it is asserted, is imme diately necessary for the proper exten sion of the cultivated area of the state, The report says that, while the rec liiiiation service specialist on irriga tion possibilities through pumpng be liules the system, he lias misrepre- , sentel the census fgurcs upon which Ihe t-tatement is made. He said that onlv 177.625 acres were served by . pmnpiutr 1 wter in 1003. when as a matter of fact there were 1.000.000 acres. The report of Mr. Morris shows that in Oregon there, are 217.000 acres irrigable by the Columbia River power. . and in Oregon and Washington 635.100, which would require 396.500 horse power. It could be obtained at a rate 1.6 acres per horsepower. "When we consider the average duty of one horsepower throughout the Vnite.l States is a, little over 4.1 acres per horsepower we see the difficulty of permitting our minds to conceive the project as being feasible," adds the report. $1.330.7 1 8 AMOI XT ALLOWED 'ine Measures Appropriating Vari- tiiis Funds I'ass Senate.

Jewett .Coming From Washington. WORK OF DISTRICT GROWS Officer Has Beeu Assigned lo Assist Colonel McKinslry, Who Has Charge - of Lower Columbia and Willamette Rivers. Major Henry C. Jewett. of the Kngi neer Corps, has been ordered to Port land from Washington Barracks, Wash ington. D. C, to report to Colonel Mc Kinstry, in charge of the Second Ore gon District, for duty. Th6 order was issued February 11 and Major Jewett is expected shortly. Major J. X Mor row, in charge of the First Oregon Dis trfct and at present on temporary duty at Fort Leavenworth, Is assisted in Iris work by Captain Dillon, who is direct ing affairs ot the district during his superior's absence, so thef will be four Army engineers in this state. Originally there was only one dis trict that included projects 'in Wash ington as well, and when those were segregated all projects having to do with the Willamette. Columbia and Snake rivers and their tributaries, as well as. Oregon coast ports, were di rected from one office.. In March. 1910, another division was made and Major Morrow ordered here to take charge of the First District, embracing all work on the Columbia above the mouth of the Willamette, the Cascade Locks, The Dalles-Celilo Canal. Upper Colum- , , - J,.Aa Ciiislaw COOS II lit anu onaftc . i ... i .j , ... . , Bay. Tillamook,' Nehalem and Crater Lake Park. 'JJiat reit in tne oeconu District the Lower Willamette and Co lumbia rivers, the Columbia River bar and jetties, Upper Willamette above Portland. Lewis. Cowlitz. Clatskanie and YamhiLl rivers. With the north jetty at me iimum of the river under way during the Win- , 1. 1 . . i . ....... ,nr nttomntpH when the south Jetty was building, and the big dredge uninooK 'Kept buuis, co.-w" the two new dredges Multnomah and Wahkiakum in service, there has been a mass of new detail added to the ad ministration of the district. Having a military assistant will leave Colonel McKinstry free to devote most of his attention to the more important proj ects. ' The coming year promises to be an active oTfe in - improvement of navi gable waters and more attention can be given smaller streams emptying Into the Columbia, for which purpose the dredge, Monticello was ordered re cently. The hull of that vessel, which measures 100 feet In length and has a beam of 34 feet, was launched yester dav at the plant of the St. Helens Ship building Company. The cabin will be built without delay so 'that the. ma chinery can be installed. The contract awarded the Willamette Iron & Steel Works provided for the delivery of the dredge in July, but progress made on the hull has apparently paved the way for its delivery in June. The Monti cello replaces the Cowlitz, which is no longer viewed as suitable for the Lewis, Cowlitz and Clatskanie river improvements. The MontlceKo will be equipped with a 10-inch suction as w-ell as a bucket with a capacity of a yard and a half, so she can work in heavy gravel on bars as well as dredge finer materia! EPSOM GETS KECOItD II ATE Tramp Damaged in August Secures 70 Shillings for First Voyage. Taken at 70 shillings, according to talk in exporting circles the British steamer Epsom Is listed to load at Fort land at the highest rate paid a tramp steamer for grain in the history of Northwest cereal exports. She was en gaged by Kerr, Gifford & Co., which tirm also has the British steamer Low ther Castle, that was fixed at 6.. shil lings recently.. The Epsom has been loaded here and is a carrier of 28 0 tons net resiMn. , , . No doubt the owners welcomed the high rate, as the F.psom nas Deen in active for several months.- She sailed from Sydney, C. B., June 2.1 for Vic toria, and left St. Lucia July 6. but Vugust 9 she brought up at Carrera Point being ashore there until August 27 vvhen she was floated and taken to'runta Arenas for repairs. The ves sel was there at last reports. Some have calculated that the-Kpsom will collect in freight close to 125.000 on the coming voyage, and as estimates were made two years ago that British tramps cost about $3i a ton, meaning capacity, two such engagements should pay her original cost.

SAILING VESSELS USE CANAL Under Average Conditions Sailers Save 80 Days by Waterway. WASHINGTON. Feb. 17. The Isth mian Canal authorities have been a-reeably surprised at the disposition shown bv the maritime interests to use the canal for sailing vessels, as it had been assumed that the canal would, de rive no revenue from this source. As e r.t four sailinsr vessels a manor ui already have passed through the canal . . . i lU.. 1 q n tiA llcAlt and demonstraLoa it economically by that class of ships. It Is figured that under average con- .j : i : ... A vabsaI would save about 80 days by using the canal, which would mean an approximate saving of J3300, allowing 1-700 ,ior cose oi paoni& through the canal. AGENTS NOT YET ADVISED Deckloads Will Be Carried Through Canal by Lumber Types. Pnriiunii asrents of steamship lines plying through the Canal had not been advised yesterday of any change In in structions concerning the acceptance of i v. ,!.. -foiiowinsr the decision1 of President Wilson Monday that elimi nates a toll on decKtoaas oi iui o.rn,irh fho Cann.1. When other business is available the lines are not particularly keen to loaa great quu ti tles of lumber, but some will no dout welcome deckloads during certain sea sons of the year. C. D. Kennedy, of the American Hawaiian, said yesterday that .only four ships of that line, the Oregonian, Ha waiian, Californian and American, were constructed so as to be desirable for handling deckloads and as the two lat ter had been chartered to others, only two were in the Canal trade and he did not know whether any change would be made now as to lumber. Vessels of the Grace fleet are adapted to that trade. The elimination ot ucumuu. tolls will prove decidedly advantageous to the Pacific Coast types thatf. carry full cargoes to the East Coast, and i u en.!.,,- trariA onens. lumber Wiieu iiie . u' . . cargoes should increase via thattroute.

The trouble first began when Endre M.

Mr. Cederbergh refused to make any statement yesterday as to whether the men would be prosecuted as deserters. Milton R.
