LENirJE'S BIG DREAM
TO ELECTRIFYRUSSIA
Every Hut in Nation to Be
Communistic Paradise.

Huge Power Plants Contemplated

VIBORG, Finland. Mar 7. Com
munism, plus eiectrincatlon, is now
the slogan of the Russian soviet re
gime. Reports of this vast dream of
Lenine by which, eay sarcastic refu
gees reaching Finland, he "hopes to
make every Russian hut a commun
istic paradise with a dynamo in the
corner." have reached the outside
world1 frequently during the past few
months, but only recent Moscow ana
Petrograd newspapers show the vast
extent of the proposed electrification
ftf Russia.
O. S. Zinovieff, soviet governor of
Petrograd, In a speech at that city,
announced that the scheme contem
. nlated the construction all over Euro
pean Russia and Siberia of huge elec
tric power plants, with a total capac
ity of 18,170.01)0 horsepower in the
former and 9,000.000 horsepower in
Siberia. On this work, he said, are
to be employed, as fast as possible,
the soldiers who are demobilized.
How- seriously Lenine advocates
electrification is shown in one of his
recent speeches, wherein he said:
"More must be done regarding elec
trification. The whole future of so
viet Russia depends on the consumma
tion of the plan. All elements of the
population must assist in this stats
enterprise. The building of electric
stations all over the country will take
10 years. Concessions must furnish
the working capital. Then commun
istic Russia will be an example to all
the governments of Europe and Asia."
At present Russia has comparative
ly few electric plants.
To further the immediate develop
ment of the electrification plan, elec
trical workers and engineers have, for
several months, been exempted from
the restrictions placed upon other
workmen and have been given pre
ferred rations.
The immensity of the Russian elec
trlflcation project is indicated by the
fact that at the largest power plant
In, the United States, at Niagara
Falls, the peak load, or total capac
ity developed, is about 405,000 horsepower.

Cottage Grove Relic to Give Va

' COTTAGE GROVE, Or., May 7.
(Special.) Memories of what used
to be were recalled to many who
viewed a case of what evidently was
once a fine collection of well-filled
cocktail bottles found in the attic of
the Allison building on Main street,
which has just been torn down to
made room for a modern block. Not
even the smell remained. Many of
the corks even had been eaten away
by Intemperate rats.
Another and more lively find was
a litter of kittens beneath the floor.
The old building was one of the
landmarks of the city. It was the
first building of importance erected
' on the east side of the river and was
built by Perry Sherwood in 1889 for
an opera house, dancehall and skating
rink, and old-timers recalled many
Jolly times there in other days. S. V.
Allison bought the building 13 years
ago, since which time it had been
used for business purposes.
During the 32 years that the build
ing stood It had more than that nam
ber of tenants. The Sanders bakery
and the People's meat market moved
out to permit the tearing down of the
building and will return to quarters
in the new structure when completed.
FROGS WILL AID SCIENCE
Eighteen Giants From Southern
Snamps Invade University.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
May 7. (Special.) Eighteen giant
frogs with bodies; eight inches in
length have arrived at the university
biological laboratory after a trip
across the continent from New
Orleans.
As frogs are measured, with the
hind legs extended, these giants of
the swamp regions measure 16
inches. Their regular fare normally
consists of bugs, flies, mice and baby
ducks, but until their scheduled de
mise they will have to be satisfied
with .bugs only.
Oscar Richards, a student In the
biology department of Portland, said
the frogs can execute a standing
broad Jump of two feet.
Do they croak like other frogs?"
he was asked.
"I am told," said Richards, "that In
their native haunts they roar. But
since we have had these, they have
not peeped. Their six or eight years
of life, however, is about to come to
an end, and when they are chloro
formed they will 'croak' in earnest."

O ment in Shakespearean repertoire
at the Heilig last night with "Mac
beth." In the afternoon he gave a
fine and very satisfying performance
of "Othello."
In this character Mr. Kellerd has
I earned unqualified praise wherever
he has presented the play, and he
repeated his triumph at yesterday's
matinee. His reading of the liens of
the noble Moor is a radical departure
from the traditional method and be
comes a very impressive piece of
character portrayal. He employs the
words of Shakespeare in a way that
makes them the keenest weapons of
attack and cynical invective, and
shows them to be possessed, even to
day, of a living inspirational force.
NMr. Kellerd's Othello took on the
semblance of a noble dignity, slow to
anger, but resolute in the execution
of his mission once his jealousy had
begun to sway him.
A very pretty girl, Freda Brindley,
played Desdemona. She fitted the
role pictorially, since she is slight
and youthful and, blonde. Her por
trayol was of a high dramatic qual
ity. Isabel Merson gave a notewor
thy portrayal of the role of Emilia,
wife of Iago, and that wrothy tempter
was played nicely by Stuart Black.
