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. K. Wall.
of St. Louis, another delegate from the
convention in Seattle. Both left last
night on their return trip to the East.

COLT BUCKSr RIDER HURT
Albert Boon Sustains Broken Wrist
nnd Bruised Side. .
A bucking colt, fresh from the pas
ture, resented the interference of Al
bert Boon, a blacksmith, when Boon
attempted to ride him yesterday, and
after the two had adjusted their dif
ferences Boon was lying In the dust
under the pony, with a broken right
wrist and a brused side.
Boon is one of the owners of a liv
ery stable at 864 Jefferson street. The
pony had only been bought the pre-
vlous day. After several others had
made unsuccessful attempts to ride
the animal Boon undertook the task.
He successfully rode the pony some
distance down the canyon road and
back to the stables. He then re
mounted and started down Jefferson
street. 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.

Several days ago while "Buster" was
chasing an- unwelcome visitor around
the block he ran directly In the path
of one of the doctors' automobiles.
He limped back to the hospitaT and
was cared for as an emergency -case.
Kor several days "Buster" mournfully
refused his customary diet of chocolate
creams and confections. Yesterday he
gave the first sign of convalescing by
