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

Tobacco Store, in State

Boise, Ida., July 13. United States
Senator and Mrs. W. B. Heyburn have
arrived In the city from Washington and
are spending a few days here meeting
friends. 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 spoke eulo
glstically of Knox, Fairbanks, Taft,
i Cannon and Hughes. When asked If

while those engaged with such lines j Hughes was an avowed candidate, he
could not.
The attorney-general gives the defi
nition of the word "drugs" and says a
drugstore Is a store where drugs are
sold exclusively. Me says, in conclu
sion:
"It Is my opinion that 'drugstores as
used In the section under consideration.
contemplates only stores devoiea to
the exclusive sale of drugs and does not
Include either drugstores or any other
establishment In which soda, ice cream,
confections or tobacco la sold, since
such stores could as well be designated
as "candy or confectionery stores,' or
tobacco stores.' Drugstores remaining
open on Sunday, where you are enforc
ing tne law, must limn uieir Dusiness
to the sale of drugs exclusively and
restaurants to the serving of meals."

Illinois. Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa

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

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

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.

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.
