little Interest accumulated, to a trifle
over eight hundred dollars, and by this

Oregon Agricultural College, It will be

It will not be necessary to say that
while the elder brother Is In college
the second boy will go on adding to the
fund. Tt is usetess to remark that
during the vacations the elder boy will
find useful snd profitable employment,
and that when the first graduates and
the aecond enters college the elder
will go on adding to the fund.
But there are two other boys, the
lads respectively of 13 and 9 what
bout them? Last Fall they were given
charge of the poultry yards to begin
their fund on, and some portion ol tne
proceeds of the flower and berry sales

For a moment I will digress from the
main thread of the story, for tHb fath

I had wondere'd where the boys and
visiting girls were, for I had not heard
a sound since the musio of the dishes
as they were washed after supper and
the mother joined us. We went up
stairs and I waa shown the bathroom,
the bedrooms, the great guest room, the
alcoves snd closets, the sleeping- porch
and balconies, but not a sound did 1
hear save our own voices and foot
steps. -
Finally thw father opened a doori
And there was a great room, perhaps
20 feet lonr. blazing with light, a tabu
running down the center, books, maps
and chafts on every hand, and at tha
table, wrapped In study, were the six
absent ones the four boys and theit
two girl visitors! They looked, up al
us with a smile, but not a word was
uttered as they went on with their les
sons! Down before the blazing pine knots
again and the mother told me of the
studious habits of the boys. Two hours
every night they attend their owa
night school, unless, as frequently hap
pens, thex younger ones get tired and
creep down to the arms of father or
mother. In school tney an stand at

HE DALLES, Or.. April 20. (Spe
cial.) The White River power
plant. which supplies electric
power and light both- to The Dalles
and Dufur over a transmission l'ne
36 miles In length, Is located at the
falls of the White River, south and a
little east of The Dalles, two miles
above the junction of the Deschutes
and White rivers and about four miles
from Tygh Valley, a live little town
nestled in a canyon In the tall t'mber
district near the center of Waaco Coun
ty. The river, where the plant is lo
coted, plunges over two falls, which,
with the dam constructed abovt tne
tipper fall, gives a. total qVop of 147
feet.
In former years this city was sup
plied with electrlo lighting generated
n a little steam power plant here in
town, owned and operated by a com
pany of local men. The Wasco Ware
house Milling Company bought their
holdings and Increased the plant, final
ly perfecting plans for generating
power at White River Falls and bring
ing it to The Dalles, which was done
In January, 1903, at a cost of half
million dollars.
One of the characteristics of the
White River Is the Immense amount of
sand which is being continuously
washed out from the upper territory
and brought downstream by the rush
Ing waters. This sand in the water Is
condition which had to be overcome
In the design of the plant, and is In
this case obviated by a settling basin
of rock and concrete for the purpose of
settling the sand from the water before
sending it through the pipe. In other
words, a catch basin that would hold
the water still long enough to let the
sand in it sink from Its own weight.
Plant Ownership Changes,
The equipment of the plant at the
falls when It vsy taken over by the
Pacific Power & Light Company in
July, 1910, consisted of a concrete dam
50 feet long, which formed a settling
basin, a pipeline 1000 feet in length
leading to the powerhouse at the foot
of the falls, two SOO-kilowatt Impulse
waterwheels direct connected to alter
nating current generators, a transform
er house and equipment and a masonry
powerhouse.
Shortly after the plant was acauired
by the present owners, extensive plans
were drawn up, which called for an en
tire remodeling of the system at a cost
of approximately 1160,000, and work
was begun immediately. Although one
of tha conditions which made thla work
more than ordinarily difficult and ex
pensive was the fact that it waa neces
sary to maintain a continuous supply
ot power ror The Dalles and Dufur, the
company, realizing that a shutdown of
only half an hour or ao on weekdays
would inconvenience their customers
In those cities, spared no expense to
keep their service as constant as pos-
siDie and allowed shutdowns only dur
lng a few houra on Sundays. And while
tnere Is much work yet to complete,
there la much work that l finished.
The first thing the company did was
to construct a new line of wood pipe
five feet In diameter from the old In
take to a point In a ravine about 500
feet from the old dam, where a new
concrete-tiam has been built 30 feet in
height snd 170 feet long, to form in
this ravine a second settling basin.
From this basin a new line of pipe was
built which' leads down the hill to the
power house, S00 feet of the pipe being
of wood and 150 feet of steel.
Old Wheels Dismantled.
At tha power house the old water
wheels were dismantled and two new
aiOO horsepower turbine wheels were
Installed with a small 50 horsepower
turbine for an exciter generator. These
wheels are of the modern type and are
equipped with efficient governors for
the regulation of the speed- One of
these wheels has been In operation
since last November and the other has
just been Installed, and will be in op
eration In a few days. A large amount
of rock has also been excavated from
the tall race.
Mucn work yet remains to be done
before the plant will be brought to Its
fullest, capacity. A third unit will be i

installed which will be larger than
either of the others, being 1250 kilo

house will be built and new equipment
installed and othef improvementg.wilI
be made in and around the power
house. The construction work at White
River Is In charge of Engineer J. J.
O'Connell, and the superintendent In
charge of the power house is M. F.
Coherth. The manager at The Dalles
is B. P. Bally, who has general super
vision of the entire system.
This plant at White River is only
one of the many projects up.on which
the Pacific Power & Light Company
is at work. One project well under
way Is the construction of a line from
Hood River, to Umatilla and on to
NATIONAL FORESTS AS
GREAT GAME PRESERVES
N. F. Thorne Suggests That Extermination of Deer and Elk Can Be Pre
' vented by Adopting This Plan.
A5
SHLAND. Or., May 20 (To the
Editor.) With 90 deer to start
with ten years ago on 000 acres
of steep, rocky, brush-covered moun
tains in Pennsylvania, a hunting club
composed of Lake Haven and Williams
port business men have now over 3000
deer, the natural Increase from the
original '90, and possibly four or five
native deer that were on the land when
it waa inclosed by a game-proof fence.
The members of the club and -their
friends have been -killing each year
the number of male deerpermitted by
the laws of Pennsylvania. This Is an
example of the- productivity of deer
when protected from the varmints and
dogs. The West has failed to protect
the elk, so that Its numbers are so .re
duced that it can no longer be hunted;
except in a few localities, and the same
expensive methods are used, while our
deer are fast being exterminated.
In places here In Oregon where deer
were very plentiful a few years ago
one can hardly be found now.
Last year I wrote the Agricultural
Department, Washington, suggesting
the idea of leasing Jarge tracts of land
in remote parts of forest "reserves for
the purpose of properly protecting and
raising deer and elk. They replied
that they thought very favorably of
such a plan, but there was no law un
der, which a leaae could be made for a
longer time than one year, which, of
course, would not warrant the initial
expense In starting a game preserve.
rThere are many hundreds of thousands
of acres that are not used for grazing
domestic animals that could be used for
this purpose, with the following direct
beneiits: first it would produce in
a few years such an abundance of
game animals that venison from such
preserves could be permitted to be
sold during the open season in our
markets the same as beef, affording a
most delicious and healthful product
of food, that at present can only be
had by a few. Second Through he
fencing and protection of the game, the
timber would also be protected from
destructive -' fires. Third The profit
able use of remote parts of reserves
would help to open up the forests by
the building of trails and wagon roads
and phone lines, where neither exists
now. Fourth rThe Government would
get an annual rental for such use of
these lands In place of tha increasing
annual expense with no income, as at
present. Fifth It would be the means
of adding to our resources a valuable
food product that will cost but little
to produce on land which produces
nothing of value except; timber at
present. Sixth It will preserve the
deer and elk from becoming extinct In
our forests by lncreaaing their num
bers and Improving the breeds at the
same time.
Question Is One of Conservation.
This is a practical question of con
servation. To adopt It will require an
act of Congress, and. In this connection.-
I wrote Senator Bourne, and he
n Easeo, the hub of the wheel from
- I which radiate the lines to Priest Rap-
Ids on the Upper Columbia, the largest
power station of the company, to
North Yakima, Sunnyslde, Walla
Walla, Kennewick and other points.
The stations of Hood River and White
Salmon and Husum on the-Washington
side are connected by submerged cable
and are under one local manager. The
company expects to develop 3000 kilo'
watt power at Hood River. The survey
of the line between Hood River and
The Dalles Is nearly completed and the
stakes set marking the location of the
poles. A party of six Is finishing this
work now. Two triple., carloads of
poles for the extension of the line have

replied that as such privileges could
only be enjoyed by a few he was op
posed to the Idea, for the teason that
a few would have privileges , "which
are the common heritage of all" which
in this case is transcendental tommy
rot, for the reason that there would
be enough such land not adapted to
domestic gracing to accommodate all
who wanted to lease for this purpose,
and the further fact that most Western
hunters would secure interests in a
game preserve and do their bunting
there, as deer are becoming harder to
find each year, and the dangers of be
ing shot while hunting are increasing.
Many men cannot take the time now
required to get a deer or two in a sea
son. These preserves would have a
tendency to Increase the number of
deer on the millions of acres of wood
and timber land that could not be in
closed as a game preserve, thereby
giving the man who did not have as
interest in a game preserve a better
chance to find a deer than he has at
present.
As city and Government parks are
the last means used to preserve many
animals from becoming extinct that'
were formerly very plentiful In this
country in their wild state, why should
not this lesson be taken advantage of
in a commercial way, and avoid the
necessity of preserving the species at
public expense a little later oa-?
Few Arguments Against It.
The argument will be mada that if
deer and elk were raised in such large
numbers the states- would have to
change their laws permitting their sale
from inclosed preserves during open
seasons. It . is time that game laws
were made up-to-date, so that some
good will result from them. Some will
say that if raising Jeer becomes profit
able, the beef trust will acquire all tha
preserves, but this could be provided
against In the act authorizing the
lease of Government reserve lands for
this purpose.
If there are any reasons why such a
plan is not practical or profitable
from every point of view, I would like
to hear them. The Agricultural Depart
ment thought very favorably of the
plan last year, and if they have
changed their opinions since, it must
be due to the paranoiac egotism of
some Western representatives in Wash
ington or the Forestry Department.
