ENGINEER '"- - -SCf " L. ' ""',- . t- 1 Meiei Cheaper Power and Plenty of It Is Held as .Vantage Point Possessed bjr Pacific Slope In the Tears to Come. "The- undeveloped power possibili ties of Oregon and the Northwest are staggering to the Easterner who visits here. When they are developed the West will outstrip the East In its manufacturing activities in spite . of anything the engineers in the East can do." This was the statement made yes terday by Henry R. Seaman, of New i Tork. the first of the returning dele gates from the American Institute of Engineers to reach Portland from Seat tle, where the convention closed this week. Mr. Seaman is principal as ' slstant engineer t. Wilson Bros. A Co.; bridge engineer for the Erie Railroad; engineer of construction for the New York. New Haven & Hartford Railroad; consulting engineer for the department of bridges; chief engineer of the Pub lic Service Commission of New York, and consulting engineer for the, City of Cambridge, Mass. "From Seattle down the Coast, in every place I have - been," he. said, 'l have been amaxed by the power re sources presented on every hand. Give the Pacific Northwest time and .it. will not be long until the manufactories here will beat those of the East 10 to ene. Markets, development of your power and more labor is all that Is needed to accomplish the results. In natural climatic, scenic and power ad vantages there is nothing to equal it. The East can talk all it pleases about what it Is able to do in the de velopment of Its Industries, but the fact remains that the West has the ad vantage and, when developed, will have more and cheaper power, which will enable It to compete with a tremendous advantage over the older sections in the East." Mr. Seaman was received at the Multnomah Hotel by G. B. Hegardt, W. S. Turner and J. A. Currey, repre senting the local association of engl neers. Yesterday morning he was taken over the harbor, with which he was well pleased. He commended highly the public dock plans that have been made thus far by the Dock Commission. With Mr. Seaman was E.

Smarting under tho humilia tion of having been successfully ridden, the animal put doubled energy Into Its efforts and succeeded In throwing Its rider. WAR WAGED ON MOSQUITOS Health Department Using Crude Oil to Destroy Pest. Through the efforts of the City Board of Health, the mosquito nuisance is being raj.ily abated. Througo the week the office has been busy sprink ling oil on the surface of the lakes and ponds about the city, and the desired effect of exterminating the pestiferous insect has become apparent. On Guild's Lake over 30 gallons of crude oil were poured. There are now practically no mosqultos there. . The principal annoyance from mo squltos Is now being experienced in places where the grass remains uncut. They breed on the damp ground under this protection. City Hrolth Officer Wheeler urges all property owners to see that their grass Is cut. ' The unusual prevalence of mosqultos this year is attributed to excessive moisture.
