BIG WORKS ARE COMPARED
Professor Dearborn of O. A. C. Tells
of Great Energy-Generating Proj
ects in East and West.
OREGON AGRIICULTL'RAL COL
LEGE. Corvallis, Auk-. 14. (Special.)
The largest electrical development
plant in America, at Keokuk, on the
Mississippi, 200.000 kilowatts when the
last unit is installed, still lacks 150.000
kilowatts of equaling the capacity Tof
the proposed Celilo plant if desirable to
develop it to that decree, says g,R. H.
Dearborn, head of electrical engineer
ing at the college, after inspect-? the
bi5 electrical works of the east and
mid-west.
"A dam nearly a mile long: extends
across the river at Keokuk," aid Pro
fessor Dearborn, "backing: up the water
for 60 miles and making: a 32-foot
head. The dam and forebay are de
signed to care for 30- units of 7500 kilo
watts, but only 15 have been installed."
The largest steam-driven electric unit
in the world is in New York and was
inspected by Professor Dearborn. It
lias an output of 70,000 kilowatts.
Interesting Comparison Made.
"In comparison this is more than is
generated by the Portland Railway,
Disrht & Power company at Cazadero,
Bull Rjn. Oregon City and steam sta
tions com bined." he said. "In other
words, this one unit would very nearly
supply the needs of . the Willamette
valley."
The longest and hiarhest voltage
transmission in the world was vtrwed
at Los Angeles. Power is sent a total
of 250 miles at a voltage of 150.000, the
maximum used commercially. The wjde
margin between this maximum and the
2 0. 000 tet transformer volt aire of the
college lHboratory is noted Ty Profes
sor Dearborn, who installed the bis"
transformer here.
The 220-mile section of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul line out of Seat
tle, almost ready for electrification,
was inspected by Professor Dearborn
on his way east. The developments
were instructive, especially through
he steeper portions of the Cascades.
Furtner east a 440-mile section, begin
ning at Avery, Idaho, was traversed on
the electric locomotive. The regenera
tion of power on down grade was about
40 per cent of that required to ascend
to a like height over the continental
divide, where grades and curves were
sharpest.
Kdlfton Plants Inspected.
The Commonwealth Edison steam
plants, among the largest In the coun
try, were studied to see the system of
plants that must supply a peak load
of 400,000 kilowatts.
The Nela research laboratories at
Cleveland were inspected with a for
mer O. A. C. instructor, Mr. Weniger.
One of the recent developments there
is 9, glass-blowing machine for making
electric light bulbs, which does the
work of many thousands of men.
The Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology, whiih exceeds anything of the
kind in the world in buildings and
equipment, also was inspected with G.
K. Co veil, dean of engineering at O.
AC.
The Pchenectady pJant of the Gen
eral Electric company makes a greater
variety of electrical instruments than
any other plant in the country. This
was viewed by Professor Dearborn in
company with Louis Happold, 1918 at
O. A. C who is working there. Mil
lions of dollars' worth of proposals are
on hand and the managers expect their
busiest year beginning next winter.

HOTEL SELLS FOR $100,000
E. R. Piltelkaii Assumes Control of
Campbell Building.
The Hotel Campbell, a four-story
brick structure at Twenty-third and
Hoyt streets, was sold yesterday by the
"Wright Investment company to E. R.
Pittelkau pf this city for a considera

AIR PATROL NOT ACCURATE
Forester Thinks K Xpert s Ouht to
Aero l n i a n Fliers.
SALKM. Or., Auk. 14. (Special.)
"Provided the best results are to be ob
tained through the operation of the
Oregon forest fire patrol, V. A. Elliott,
state forester, believes it will be neces
sary for men well acquainted with" the
timbered districts over which the
planes are routed to accompany the
pilots on their daily flights.
Although several fires have been re
ported at the offices of the state for
ester by the aviators, in a number of
instances the locations given have not
reen correct, thereby delaying1 the state
forester in notifying the supervisors in
charge of the field work.
There are several other timber fires
in different parts of the state, accord
ing to Mr. Klliott, but none is serious.

TO
Fair Price Committee Plans Series
of Open Meetings to Discus
Local Food Costs.
Bread ill be the subject of investi
gation today by the fair-price commit
tee at an open hearing at 3 o'clock in
the old postoffice building. Master
bakers, journeymen bakers . and the
public are invited.
This will be the first of .a series of
hearings planned by the committee to
determine whether there is local profit
eering. The main purpose of the com
mittee will be to gather facts and then
submit them to the public. In this way
the public may decide whether anyone
is exacting a larger profit than is rea
sonable. While meat, butter, eggs, shoes and
a few other articles will be investigat
ed, the committee is of the opinion that
the bread subject, owing to its import
ance, if of first consideration and for
this reason the probe is started on this
foodstuff.
Bakers, who announced an advance
of 1 cent, to take effect next Monday,
have agreed to postpone . the increase
until after the committee makes in
quiry and reports. There Is a prospect
of the inner workings of the bakery
business being spread before the public
by the committee.
After today's meeting announcement
will be made of the sub-committees as
signed to take up various subjects. One
sub-committee will inquire into meat
prices and another into eggs, and these
investigations will be carried on simul
taneously in order to save time. The
committee does not intend to make any
statement until it is sure of its facts,
for V. K. Newell, food administrator,
declared that onu the committee says
a thing it does not want to have to re
tract. E LIFT PROVES FUTILE

Troublesome Fact Brought Out
at
Hearing of Ben Timber Workers
Before Conciliation Board.
Successive wage increases have left
timber workers of the Bend district
just as poor as they were before, be
cause, by concerted action, the mer
chants supplying them with their needs
have boosted their prices to meet every
rise in the wapre scale, according to
testimony offered by representatives of
the timber workers union yesterday
afternoon before the state board of
conciliation. The hearing before the
board was upon the demand of the
workers for an increase in the mini- I
mum wage from $4.23 to $ 4. SO per
day.
The two companies concerned in the
demand of the workers are the Brooks
Scanlon Lumber- company and the
Shevlin -Hlxon company. The com
panies were represented by T. A. Mc
Cann, manasfer, of the Shevlin-Hixon
company, and'' H. Richards, superin
tendent for the Brooks-Scanlon- corn
ran y.
Testimony showed that the minimum
waire of the workers was raised 25
cents a day June 1 and again July 16,
but in each case the cost of living was
raised by the merchants, so the higher
w.ges left the timber workers no bet
ter off than, before.
The board of conciliation took the
matter under advisement. A decision
is expected late today.

FUGITIVES THOUGHT
TO BE HEADING EAST
Recapture of Asylum Inmates
Soon Is Expected.
MEN REPORTED PENNILESS
Sister of Edward Southwick, One of
Escapes, Disclaims Any Part in
Break for Liberty.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 14. (Special.
Miss Florence Southwick. sister of Ed
ward Southwick. who, with IX C. Brich
oux, yesterday escaped from a motor
truck while being taken from the
state hospital for the insane to the flax
fields beyond Turner, this afternoon
appeared at the asylum and disclaimed
any part in the transaction.
"I did not know that my brother had
escaped until I read the story in a
newspaper this morning," Miss South
wick told the officials, "and further
more, had 1 known of his intentions
I would have tried to persuade him to
remain at the "institution. The rVport
that I was implicated in arranging the
escape is untrue, and apparently orig
inated from the confusion resulting
from the different stories told by the
guards in charge of the men."
The officials now are inclined to be
lieve Miss Southwick's s'ory.
Men Thought Headed Kat.
Although the officials f irat thought
that Hrichoux and Southwick entered a
waiting automobile after escaping from
the truck, they are now working on
the theory that the men merely crossed
the main traveled highway and are
making their way In a northeasterly
direction through the densely timbered
districts. Both men were committed to
the penitentiary from eastern Oregon
and the off icers Relieve they are head
ed for that part of the state.
Brichoux spent considerable time in
Baker, while Southwick passed much
of his life on cattle ranches in Wal
lowa county.
Officers in practically every town and
city between Salem and Baker have
been notified f the escape, but up to
this evening nothing had been heard
to indicate the whereabouts of the con
victs m Fugitives Have X Money.
Neither of the men had any money
or provisions when they escaped, ac
cording to the officials, and it is be
lieved that they will soon visit some
farmhouse in quest of food. Unless they
are supplied with sufficient food to
remain in hiding for several days, the
officers are confident they "will be
captured soon.
No one thus far has reported seeing
any men answering the description of
the fugitives and this leads officials
to believe they are avoiding the main
highways and traveling at night.
Miss Southwick this afternoon told
the officials that in the event she was
able to get in touch with her brothor
she would persuade him to return to
the hospital. Miss Southwick is a
comely little woman and came to Salem
about a month ago to prevail upon the
parole board to release her brother.
She is now employed as a domestic here.
M iss Southwick eays her younger
brother, who accompanied her here
from eastern Oregon, returned there on
July 11.
Bank Robber Gets Away.
Chester William Clark, received at
the state penitentiary a month ago to
day to serve a maximum term of ten
years for holding up the cashier and
robbing a Beaverton bank of approxi
mately $3800, escaped this morning
while employed in the berry field a
short distance north of the prison.
Clark arrived at the berry field with
other convicts shortly before 8 o'clock,
and had been gone only about 15 min
utes when his absence was discovered.
Guards at the penitentiary were Im
mediately notified and a large part of
the country about where the fugitive
was last seen was surrounded.
Tracks found in a corn patch some
distance from tire penitentiary this aft
ernoon indicate that Clark had taken
a northeasterly course, apparently with
the intention of reaching the timbered
districts before night. This theory is
substantiated by reports reaching the
prison late today to the effect that a
man answering the fugitive's descrip
tion had been seen by ranchers on the
Silverton road.
Clark Held Nervy Youth.
Besides sending out posses from the
pen itentiary, telegrams containing a
complete descript ion of Clark have
been forwarded to officers in practical
ly every city between Salem and Kills
boro. Clark is 21 years of age. At the
time of robbing the Beaverton bank he
held up the girl cashier and ft customer,
locked them in the vault and leisurely
made away with the money.
Officers brand him as a daring youth
and say he may commit other depreda
tions in order to make good his escape.
Under a law enacted at the last ses
sion of the legislature any person serv
ing less than a life term who shall
escape or attempt to escape from the
Oregon penitentiary is subject to
prosecution on a felony charge and
upon conviction may be sentenced to
a term of not more than 10 years.
Clark will be subject to the provisions
of. this measure.

Representative Hare of Washington
County Looks on Proposal
With Disfavor.
SALEM. Or., Aug. 14. (Special.)
William O. Hare, representative from
Washington county, is unable to per
ceive the necessity of calling; a special
session of the state legislature to ratify
the woman's suffrage amendment to
the federal constitution, according: to a
letter received from him at the execu
tive offices today.
"However, should your judgment di
rect you to call an extra session for the
sole purpose of considering not to ex
ceed one or two measures, I am witlinn:
to attend without cost to the sate."
continued Mr. Hare.
"Permit me to suggest, however, that
in my opinion, before an extra session
is called, some understanding should
be arrived at with respect to its dura
tion. Like a great majority of the
members of the legislature I am busily
engaged, and while I am willing to de
vote a day or so to the service of the
state. I do not care to be entertained
by long speeches, a part of which will
evidently be made for political purposes
only."
Few letters asking for a special ses

is the opinion of officials here that the
campaign for ratification of the amend

Chicago Packer Says Situation
Not
Fully Understood by tircat
Mas-s or Public.
CHICAGO. Aug. It. (Special.) The
great supplies of food now held in
stoiage are placed there for use during
seasonal shortages, according to Louis
Swift, president of Swift & Co.
In commenting today upon the agita
tion in favor of confiscation of stocks
if food. Mr. Swift said:
'.Swift & Co. deny that the food
stuffs which it is holding in storage
have been put there for speculative
purposes. Cold storage performs a

to say, they do not want to eat all ;

"If it were not for cold storage much
of the perishable food produced during
the months of heavy production would
be lest, because the supply would I'm- I
norarilv exceed the demand and prices
would fall so low that production would
be discouraged. Later, without stor
age sto.ks to draw from, a serious
shortage of these commodities would
occur with resultant high prices. No
bo!y would benefit from such a sitja
tion. and consumers would pay much
higher average prices.
"Swift & Co. does not purchase and
store goods for speculation, but merely
to assure our branch houses of a sup
ply sufficient to meet the needs of
their trade throughout the year. If
slocks of butter, eggs and other com
ir.c"ities are commandeered and thrown
on the market, there is little question
but that current prices will be forced
down temporarily but where will your
butter and eggs come from next winter
when tiiese storage stocus normally
