THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY Z.JVZl JOSEPH SPEAKS TO NHS Portland' Senator's Subject Is Hydro-Electric Power in Oregon The Rotary club meeting at the Marion hotel yesterday was ad dressed by Senator George Joseph of Portland, on the subject of the development of hydroelectric pow er, development In the state of Oregon. Senator Joseph has introduced a rbill In the legislature providing tor a' survey looking to the estab lishment of state owned hydro electric plants at The Dalles and on the Deschutes river that will develop several millions of horse power at a cost of from 111 to $19 per horse power per year. The senator stated In his ad dress that the present cost of elec tric power in the city of Portland to great manufacturing concerns was not less. than $42 a year per . horsepower, a price that was pro hibitive, and that thereby several great manufacturing concerns had been prevented - from coming to Portland, notably the Henry Ford main automobile factory and the Beaver Board company one of the largest' manufacturing concerns in the United''' States. . Henry Ford came 16 Portland and stated that he would move his principal fac tory lo tne , Willamette vauey ii cheap power' could be provided. I The speaker related the great success that has been achieved In Ontario. Canada, where the state has erected, i power 'plants that manufacture over a million horse power from Niagara Falls, and sell it to manufacturing enter prises at $17 per horse power. with the result that many of our largest manufacturing enterprises are moving to Canada to secure cheap power. Great economists have stated that factories must seek the power and not the power the factories. He said it was now possible to transmit power by wire for several hundreds of miles, and that power from the Columbia river could be transmitted all over Oregon. Washington, Idaho and - Northern California.- That at the present time power was being transmitted from Southern Oregon to- San Francisco. The plan would be to erect the plants by the state from the issu ance of bonds, take over present plants at the physical valuation. and sell power at cost of manu facture plus- 15 per cent to pro vide a fund to retire the bonds; that In 20. years the plants would be entirely paid for and the cheap est power in the world would be provided for Oregon. Both farm and city homes would be lighted and heated by electricity, and in numerable plants for all kinds of manufacturing enterprises would build along the Columbia and Wil lamette Tivers, while the power plants were under construction, and be ready for operation when the electric plant is completed. The opportunity for the devel opment of the state of Oregon by this means is almost unbelieve- able, and no other state in the Union has such a wonderful op portunity, or can furnish cheap power and such unequaled advan tages for manufacturing enter prises as this state.
