The revision' of Astoria' elty charter
- will shortly be taken up by a special
; commission. , A.t a meeting of the 'city
council lasr-evenlnsY the matter was
considered and the personnel of the com
mlaalon almost made up. Tha major

and tha remainder will be decided upon
" tn a few day a. ' ' . v
'"; That the city's present charter has
' lone been Inadequate Is a well-known
' fact, and the need of the revision has
. been Ions; felt In fact that there was
. an attempt- to have a change made at
. tha last aesslon of the legislature. Later'
there was an effort to Juggle" the bill
In the interests of a local political fac
'" tlon, and the people promptly sent their
protest to Governor Chamberlaln, who
vetoed the measure. .
It la probable, however, that tha pres
ent labors for the betterment of, the
' charter will be conducted amicably and
that tha measure, when it reaches the
. legislature will be promptly . passed.
The feeling Is Held that the charter
h'ould be amended for the good of the
city regardless of political feeling. i

consist for the nnoat -part of elty ef-
. f Iclala. .The commission will be headed

SECOND LARGEST POWER,

River Can Be Dropped Four Hundred
Feet Upon Water Wheels and Will

At Prospect, . on the upper '' Rogue
river, has been found a water power o(
aUrtling Importance. It la aald to be
the second largest water power known
In the United States, and la exceeded.
otuy by Niagara. . The water right baa
been- filed upon by Dr. C R. Ray of the
Qoldray and Condor companies, oper
ating on Rogue riven who will develop
great power plant for producing elec
tricity. , ,.
The site Is peculiarly adapted to In
stallation at low cost of an Immense
power plant. With a canal -only one
inlrd of a mile. In length the river can
be dropped 400 feet upon water wheela
that will develop upward of 220.000
horsepower. The only other similar
power site In the country besides Nla
gsraFalls la at Spokane Falls, near tha
city of Spoxane. Spokane Falls at the
high-water stage will develop. 120,000
horsepower, and at low water will pro
duce 70,000 horsepower. "
j The upper falls of the Rogue 'river
nave been known by water power men
for years, but until recently 4t waa not
known that the alte waa desirable for
a power plant. . Before Its great value
was realised Dr. Kay selected the Tolo
site on the Rogue river and built the
present fine electric power plant there,
which Is now supplying -Rogue river
valley miners,., farmers and towna with
alectrle light and power. .Large devel
