Secretary McGee of Inland Waterways Commission So Finds Not Only With Regard to Tributary Produc tive Area, but for Power That May Be Developed. i . Dr. W. J. McQee, secretary of the ln . ( land waterways commission, after sev ; ,' aral days spent In Investigation of Ore ,'on streams, departed yeslerday after ' Boon for Salem to call on Governor ' Chamberlain, and will leave tomorrow i . . tot Sacramento. Ills findings will form a part Of a preliminary report that la tto be submitted to President Rooaevelt ty the commission In September. "Of all the waterways In this country Iba Columbia river Is second In Import a nee. tha Mississippi river bom first.' Dr McGee said. "The Columbia river Is Important not only fr area of pro ducllve country tributary to It. but for .-power that may be developed. There Is ,great availahja power at Celllo falls. Tha Snake river could be made nav igable regularly as far up as Twin Falls. The Columbia can be made nav igable from Ita mouth to a point con siderably north nf tha Canadian line. The Willamette is a grand stream, both for navigation and water power. The aim of the Iniand waterways commis sion Is to encourage the utilization of all the values Inherent In the rivers of the country. We can and will cooperate with the reclamation department, the forestry service, and the navigation and transportation branches of the federal government." Will Make Suggestions. It is said the commission can also . afford considerable assistance In the line of suggestion to states an A munic ipalities, wherever Its Investigations re veal conditions that might Be utilized fcy them to their advantage. The Inland waterways commission la a non-salaried body, and has no appropriation from the federal government for carrying on Its work. Its creation was In response to S demand from Inland communities that ave long suffered from transportation bases and that have waterways which might be converted to the uses of trans portation If properly improved. Its 'western members are Senator Newlands, of Nevada, and F. H. Newell, chief of tha reclamation bureau. Thus far the streams of the country have been merely touched In the work of utilizing them for public use and benefit, navigation, irrigation, power and domestic uses are to be considered In numerous phases. The city of Los Angeles, after devising a plan for bring ing the headwaters of Kern river 260 ' miles to that city for city water, at a cost of $23,000,000. discovered that It could by a simple plan of development produce from the same water, without ' harming It for domestic uses, sufficient water power at the city limits to yield a revenue sufficient to pay 10 per cent Interest on the entire Investment. This revenue would be enough to pay Interest . on the bonds and provide a sinking fund to pay the principal. The city engineer of Los Angeles Is now working out a rilan for such power development, and t will probably be adopted, unless the city's Interest Is thwarted by existing private power companies. Acquired Another Stream. The city of New Tork, which has found the Croton river Insufficient for Its needs, has Just acquired another stream, together with practically the entire watershed at Its source, and It la proposed to develop the stream for do mestic water and power usea. When the proposition to canalize the Illinois river at a cost of 131,000,000 and complete a navigable route from the gulf to the great lakes was brought for ward, the Illinois authorities had In vestigations made and found that power could be developed In this at roam aur flclent to yield a revenue of 33,000,000 annually to the state and pay 10 per cent Interest on the Investment. The extreme contour of Illinois shows only 800 feet difference between Its highest and lowest elevations. It Is pointed out that the city of Port land, utilizing the city water brought from Bull Run, by directing It through water wheels at some high point con venient to the city, could at one stroke Not an Ice Cream, Candy or Tobacco Store, in State of Washington.

The senator, while showing signs of his late Illness, apeared to be In fine shape for any political or other fray. When asked as to the political situa tion nationally, he remarked that' there were many good, available men men t toned for the Republican nomination for the presidency, any one of whom would make a good president.

He stated he was convinced that Roosevelt j would not accept another nomination and that this, of necessity, eliminated him from the raoe. The senator would not hazard a guess as to what the Democratic national con vention would do, but rather thought the south would not permit the nomina tion of Bryan. Speaking of Idaho's position In the po litical arena, the senator declared that he would not support any man for the presidency who was In favor of letting down the protection bars so that for eign products could compete with Ida ho's raw materials.

MIDVALE COMPANY RAISES CAPITAL B rains How to make 'Any man or woman, with little trouble and less ex pense, can make an interesting experiment on Brains. We all naturally desire to be considered "brainy' "intellectual." The Brain and nerves are fed or hurt by the foo put into the stomach. If that food contains the right elements and digestion and assimilation are perfect, the Brain will act in the sanest, clearest manner. If improper, indigestible food is taken, eaten with nervous haste and in excessive quantities, the diges tive organs cannot convert it entirely into real sus tenance and it lies in the stomach too long and de "Decay" means that bacteria begins to work and these living organisms produce toxic or poisonous matter which is quickly absorbed with what little food has been digested, and carried into the blood. This poisoned blood goes to the Brain as well as elsewnere, ana the irSrain with all its connecting nerves, being the most sensitive tissues of the body the seat of thought and execution of the same is actedd upon the same as when alcohol or any other poison is taken, only in different degree. Dull, sluggish, half asleep, unable to think clearly and promptly anything but "Brainy is t he person so fed. In fact it is not feeding but poisoning,. and a Brain so treated cannot be successful. A genuine food for the Brain is GRAPE-NUTS. "Why," someone asks. Analysis of Grape-Nuts will show Phosphate of Potash as found in wheat and barley of which the food is made. This Phosphate combines with Albumen and water in the human body and builds the soft gray filling of the nerves and brain cells; then again the food is easy of diges tion because it is cooked at the factories in such manner as to transform the starch of the wheat and barley into a form of sugar, to be seen under a strong glass on each gran ule of Grape-Xuts. This sugar was not "put on" or poured over, but exudes during the process of cooking and is really the starch turned to sugar and ready to be absorbed into the blood. r So with Grape-Nuts we have the food with the right things Nature demands for Brain building and we also have a food easy of digestion. , Make the trial, it's worth while. It's a profound demonstrable truth. (Journal Special Barrio.) New Tork, July 18. Financial circles are considerably interested in the action of the Mldvale Steel company to In crease Its capital from $7(0,000 to $9,760,000, the Anal . step In the plan being taken today when the stockhold ers meet to give the necessary formal approval to the proposal of the board of directors. Additional cash will not be realised by the company for any of the $9,000,000 of new stock. The clan Is to Issue the $9,000,000 of new capital In the form of a stock dividend to the holders of the present $750,000 stock. By this readjustment of capitalisa tion the Mldvale Steel company loses one of the things for whioh it has been unique. While other steel companies have been capitalised often high up, the Mldvale heretofore has kent alone- with a nominal capitalization. For nearly ten years It paid no dividends even on its small stock, but put profits back Into the plan. Recently big dividends have been paid.
