Current is supplied to the power

C?otor Brenerator from which is
-brought 1000 volts for the plate

- Acme Trpe Htctlw lrd.
; An Acme type receiver is part of
the set. This apparatus is equipped
.Srith a two-step amplifier and loud
, speaker beside the tuning1 units,
.;which will allow tuning- in wav
.lengths from 150 to 850 meters. Thus
;,fbe Oregonian station will be in
-.touch with all Pacific coast amateur.
;yadio-phone and commercial -land and
-hip stations.
in license for the new broadcast
Jng plant has been applied for and
; approved by O. R. Redfern, radio in
..spector for the seventh, district, with
,-neaaquarters at Seattle. The apolica
-feion has been forwarded to Washinsr-
. Xon. with his O. K. and permission for
; rests of the new station has been
iven. It is expected license for op
eration will be granted very soon,
Unlike radiophone broadcasting so
, tnr done in Oregon, The Oregonian
'. ""ill not confine its musical service to
phonograph records. There will be a
, piano and other musical instruments
; fn the broadcasting station and in
strumental and vocal . selections by
..visiting artists will be eent, together
, with the work of local musicians.
Weather forecasts are to . be sent
..regularly and important news as oc
'jcasion suggests although the station
is not primarily for the dissemination
- f news. Programmes and sending
flours will be announced later;
f w . Conditions More Favorable.
Powerful as the new apparatus to
-be used by The Oregonian proved in
its tests in the Xew York IaboraT
,;tories of the Shipowners' Radio serv-
"ice, engineers say it should cover an
.-even greater radius here, since con
;;litions of the atmosphere are more
; favorable on the Pacific than on the
.lAtlantic coast. Heat lightning there
. t mterreres with transmission and
-thunder storms are said to cause
, 3tic electricity in, the air that in
terrupts the radio waves.
It'. There are two broad-casting sta
tions operating in Portland now, one
amateur, tnat or w. p. Hawley Jr.,
"and one professional, that of the
Northwest Radio Manufacturing cora
jpany, Mount Tabor, of which Charles
;;L. Austin is president. The Oregonian
- station's apparatus is several times as
!. strong as that of the Mount Tabor
?;plant. The Hawley plant is one of
-the finest amateur stations in the
United? States. ,
J;; Eleven broadcasting stations on -the
.Pacific coast are making the air
ptocal afternoons and nights so that
j;anyone with a. receiving set can pick
..music, lectures, news, entertainment
;;and other features from the ether and
;enjoy them all in. his own home.
: III'' Cost Varies 'Widely.
f Cost of these receiving mechanisms
.-varies widely and is in ratio to the
; territory they cover. Some reach very
".far, indeed, while the cheaper type is
limited to broadcasts sent from near
J home. All are high in entertainment
Rvalue and afford great interest to
' their owners.
For family service an expenditure
;of 125 would cover an exceedingly
,-Uensitive set providing for sound
Ilamplifiers and other conveniences
r that would bring into the home, in
. addition to reports sent by local sta
tions, that of others located 500 or
;-more miles away.
Growth of radiophone use has been
remarkable within the past few
months. AH America has been in
terested in it to an extent shared" by
"nothing else for years. Hundreds of
t thousands of receiving sets have been
..installed in single eastern cities and
;the use of the intriguing instruments
;;rs growing by leaps and bounds. In
Portland, dealers in the apparatus say
..they are quite unable to supply the
demand.
f ", l Permits Sot Necessary.
't Permits are not necessary for homes
to be supplied with equipment to re
- eeive radiophone broadcasts. -All the
'"major Pacific coast stations now use
- & standard wave length of 360 meters,
-.this having been adopted as uniform
ilby the department of commerce. How-
' -ever, Secretary Hoover recently called
. conference of radio experts which
tnay mean that greater liberty will
.- fce given transmitting stations and
.."longer wave lengths may be used by
them. -
; So great has been . the interest
areused- in radio telephony in Port-
T3lnd and' the northwest that The Ore
"gpnian some weeks ago began the
'regular publication of a radio tfepart
ment each Stinday, being the first
Oregon newspaper to print such 'a
Creature, just as it is now the pioneer
in this state in operating the first
broadcasting station in connection
with a newspaper plant.

are but 112,165 acres of land not,
taken up. and mighty , little of this
is worth having.

Operation of Defense .; Body Is
Changed From Loss to Profit in
1920; Condition Now Good.
SALEM, Or., March 18. (Special.)
During the year 1921 it cost the state
of Oregon $79,000 to operate its na
tional guard! organization and es
tablish andi maintain its war records,
while during the same period there
was . received by the department
United. States treasury cnecks aggre
gating $199,052. , This federal money
was distributed am on sr 20OU Oreeron
Ttnen. located in 11 counties of the
state.
This financial showing for 1921, as
compared with a loss in operation for
1919, and the first half of 1920, was
effected by enlarging the national
guard, recruiting up the companies
and requiring the members to attend
drill, according to a report made by
George A. White, adjutant general and
head of the department, who points
out in a memorandum issued to the
general staff or auditing:' body, that
each active member of the service
brings Into the state a minimum of $1
for each drill that he attends. . .
- Payroll Value Important.
'Therefore, since the state has an
annual investment in the national
guard which can produce a financial
return by requiring efficiency among
the members of the organization, it i
of the utmost importance that ef f i-
eiwicy be demanded of each organiza
tion commander," says General White
in his memorandum. "While the pri
mary importance of the service lies in
its. value as an element of the na
tional defense, its value as a payroll
industry must not be lost sight of.
From one point of view the state
must be regarded as making an in
vestment in its military department
and that investment must be made to
yield the maximum return. The state
must contribute the same share for
national defense regardless of whether
has units which participate and
should any of our organizations' or
activities fail they would be allotted
to other states, exactly as we now
have five full units producing re
suits for Oregon which wo secured
through the failure of Montana and
some other states to live up . to the
requirements of the national defense
act." -. . .
Development Is Healthy.
Study of statistics and records at
the adjutant-general's office shows a
healthy rate of development in the
past two years. During 1919 jt cost
the state $29,282.30 more to operate
its national guard than was dis
tributed among the members in fed
eral payroll receipts. The change from
loss to profit occurred during 1920
when a total of $31,845.80 was re-
eived above the cost of operation to
the state. In 1921 the net profit, or
receipts from the government over
expenditures to the state was multi
plied by nearly four, the cost to the
state being $79,975.54 and the receipts
in treasury checks $199,052.56.
During that time the number of ef
fective members increased from ap
proximately 1000 to 2400. The activl
ties of the military department were
also vastly increased by the neces-
ty of starting a complete and ac
curate record of Oregon men in the
world war; When the state bonus
commission started operation the ad
jutant-general's department was able
to furnish a record of services of the
34,000 men who served from Oregon
and has also established an honor
roll of the men who lost their lives
n service, a record of wounded, of
valorous acts of Oregon men dec
orated by- the United- States and
foreign countries, a record-, of the

The report also emphasized the fact
that no deficiency appropriation has
been Incurred during- the past year
and that in spite of the increased de
mands on the department there will
be no deficiency at the end of the

missal of the Oregron naval militia
recently, the unexpended balances for i
that activity amounting to half of an
appropriation of $10,000 have reverted
to the general fund.
Adjutant-General White in dismiss

warranted use of state funds.

FOR the cost of the dynamite "which cleared one
acre of your stump land in 1921, you can now
buy, enough to clear an acre and a half. ,
"Pacific Stumping," the new Du Pont dynamite;
makes, this possible. It will do the work of any

get 2 riaore sticks of Pacific Stumping per dollar.
."Pacific Stumping" is packed in boxes of 130 sticks;
standard stumping powders come in boxes of 85 sticks.
Pacific Stumping costs only 50 cents more per box. ,
This makes it actually 2 cents (30) less per stick
than any other stumping powder.
Pacific Stumping is non-freezing even in 'below-zero
weather; and you won't get a headache from using it.
Come in tK next time you mr near our stora and let us estimate
