REAL WATER-POWER
BILL IMPROBABLE
Administration Planning to Get
Behind Measure of Rela
tive Unimportance.
DECISION IS POLITICAL
Shields Bill, Which Will Be Side
tracked, Opens Greater Possl- .
, hility of Development Along
Desirable Uines.
TtEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, May 13. The Administration is
planning' to "go 60-50" on .water-power
legislation this session, by forcing
through Congress the Myers bill, ap
plicable 'to power development on the
public domain, while throwing over the
Hhielda bill, which seeks to pave the
way for power development on navi
gable rivers.
This decision is purely political. In
cidentally, the bill wnich the Adminis
tration proposes to pass is far less im
portant than the Shields bill, for nearly
cvpry large power development now
contemplated in the United States is
found on a navigable stream and can
not be developed under the Myers bill.
The Administration has decided that
pome sort of water-power bill must be
passed, so that .the party in power can
claim rredit for unlocking at least
some of the power sites that are today
tied up and reserved, from development.
Effort Made to Save Party.
The Democratic party Is pledged to
water-power legislation; Gjfford Pin--hot
is openly fighting to prevent the
passage of any power bill, arid, the
President -bas concluded that he can
rave his party on this issue at least
Vy passing one bill and letting the
other wait until after election.
In practically all essentials the
Myers bill and the Shields bill are
identical, save that the one applies to
the public domain and the other to
Yiavigable streams. The underlying
principles of both bills are the same.
and to a large degree the phraseology
of the two bills is identical. There
fore if the principle of the Myers bill is
right the principle of the Shields bill
also must be right.
The fact that the President has
shown a preference for the Myers bill.
as against the Shields bill, is attributed
to the fact that Glfford Pinchot has
directed, his principal attacks at the
Shields bill and largely ignored the
Myers bill.
Shields Bill More Important.
The (Shields bill Is of incalculably
rreater benefit to the Northwest than
the Myers bill, for development at The
.Dalles, at the Cascades, at Priest Rap
ids on the Columbia, and on the Pend
d'Oreille, near 6pokane, would ail come
under the Shields bill; they could not
Tie developed under the Myers bill. Thus
the largest sites in the Northwest must
continue to lie dormant if the Myers
bill Is passed and the Shields bill is
thrust aside.
Only tho smaller powers of the
Northwest, those on non-navigable
streams, where the power sites are
owned by the Government, can be de
veloped under the Myers bill. Private
capital has shown no particular inter
est in these smaller powers, although
millions of dollars of private capital
la ready for immediate investment at
Priest Rapids and on the Pend I
d'Oreille if the Shields bill Is passed.

Celebration Throughout Northwest In
Honor of Festival With Bis
Display Planned.
KEXXEWICK, Wash., May 13. (Spe
cial.) Saturday, May 20, has been
named "Kennewick Strawberry day"
throughout the state and Northwest by

to make a proclamation setting that
day aside as a special day when every
one throughout the Northwest will eat
straw-berries. -
The movement will be general. Every

cial displays. The railroads have been

brought fame to Kennewick. Nearby
towns, including iiicniand, iJasco,
Hover, "White Bluffs and Hanford, will
join in the festivities.
The success of the strawberry in
dustry at Kennewick means much to
this section and the entire Yakima
Valley. Every commercial club of the
state and Northwest has been aKed to
co-operate. This year s shipments will
reach about 7a, 000 crates.

MARSHFIELD. Or., May 13. (Spe
cial.) The schools generally through
out the county have engaged teachers
for the year. There are, as always,
some vacancies in the schools of the
cities and these will be filled during
the Summer. These vacancies have oc
curred by reason of incumbents resign
ing to go elsewhere, discharges, mar
riages and decisions to retire from the
vocation.
Marshfield retained 18 of the 27
teachers engaged during the past year,
as follows: Superintendent. F. A. Tiei
gen; Roy E. Waite. principal of the
high school: A. J. M. Robertson, science:
Roy F. Nlles, history ana athleUc

Salary Reduction Proponed.
At the meeting of the Board of Ed
ucation in North Bend, called to en
gage the teachers. Directors Mrs.
Charles Winsor and ' Henry G. Kern
voted for a reduction of the salary of
Professor J. F. Grubbs from $1400 to
$1200. Chairman of the Board C. A.
Smith resigned, declaring the action
was not likely to produce good results.
It has not been as yet determined by
Professor Grubbs whether he will re
main. At Powers there is a peculiar condi
tion. The school is not yet classified,
for it has been opened only since last
November. The situation was interest
ing from many angles. Until last year
there were usually four to eight schol
ars In that district, but the location of
the Smith-Powers logging camps In
that vicinity boosted the attendance to
what proved an average of ISO daily.
For this it warn necessary to build an
18.000 schooihouse and engage seven
teachers instead of one. It is the ex
pectation of Superintendent E. S. Gam
well to install the frrst two years of a
high school course next year if the ad
vanced attendance warrants it. .
