And nothing has been said in the .above of more or less of available power running to waste down the Coast Range, that could easily be made avail able for use" In Salem. Had You Thought of This? The Portland Electric ; power Co., serving Salem and the sur rounding country and towns and cities, has recently-developed what it calls its Oak Grove project. The whole development will bring in 105,000 horsepower; will be the greatest project Jof the kind now nnder process of 'full headway in the northwest; and its t ,al cost will be about $10,00080i Its great value will hinge on ,t- ' HOMES WEEE Phono 1224 Hotel Building IH,44 , lti our cities; they attract fact that this will be steady Just the same the whole year through. ' ; A Salem IVoJect - Had you realized that this is as much a Salem project as it is a Portland project that the j Oak Crove plant Is on the upper reach es of the Clackamas river and about the same distance from Sa lem as from Portland about 60 miles on an air line? The water flowing to the great plants pontes from the" eastern ends of both Clackamas and Marion counties; about as much from Marion as from Clackamas and a good deal of lt: from Marion county comep from the eternal snows of Mt. Jef ferson, i . j .. . - I ' " i What is more, the great wheels up there in the Cascades, in the Oak Grove plant, will for all fu ture time give, Salem her quota of . power, just' the ' same' 4s they will give; Portland "hers;4 in pro portion to the use made of it in the motor driven machinery of the two cities. - - i And! Salem's use of it will no doubt grow fast. The power used for machinery and lights by the Salem paper mill equals the vol ume used in all the rest of Salem - partly because the heavy load In the rest of. the city is for only about eight hours; while in the paper mill, with its three eight hour shifts. It Is steady during all of the 24 hour day. This explains why power for such factories can 4ie supplied at a much lower rate than must apply to power for ma chinery and lights that have their peak loads once in a day, 'and for the greater part of the 24 hour day use little or no power at all.

Keep and - others on the) Zigzag fiver, tributary to the Sandy, and has asked for an order as to time of completion of the project. The company has paid the annual fees of $7800.

Some of the water powers of the Deschutes river are not more than 50 miles from Sa lem, pn an air line. " i Th'i California-Oregon Power company is urging the approval of its water power appropriations on the heads of the Rogue and Link rivers, 'and there will likely be early developments there. There are some transfers and ne gotiations being made in the De- chutes country which indicate that the . interests connected with the Bank of Italy group of California may be looking to developments on that river. This is the greatest group of financiers on this coast. ;And there are filings on the Mc Kenzie river and its tributaries which may' be connected with ma jor developments in water power activities.

It frequently attacks chicks which have been anparently healthy and growing. When this disease ap pears in a brooder there are usually several cases at about the same-time. Occasionally a very high percentage of the j young chicks develop it within a few day?;. - - The majority of outbreaks of leg weakness coming to the atten tion of the veterinary department of the'Oreon"AgriculturaI college feem to be associated with the method of management. ; 4 "Every severe outbfeak we hare observed has been in chicks that were closely housed 'and that were bing fed a ration containing only a small amount of green feed' says Dr. B. T. Simms, professor of veterinary medicine. "It is a significant fact that very few cases are l ever seen in. chicks hatched . under hens and allowed to run with thejold birds. In some outbreaks we have ob served that this trouble appeared in only a, part of a hatch. s 1 "Chicks which were out in the sunlight and which had a suffi cient: amount of green feed escap ed the-.trouble, while it. developed in the chicks kept in and fed "very little green stuff, r - " "Treatment after -symptoms are well developed is not very satis factory. ; A change in the method of management will usually -prevent development sof more cases.

' POULTRY NDUSTRt liaw VALLEY GETTING TO BEftBIE GAME No Line of Industry Has Gone Forward With Such Strides in Last Five Years, and the Reason Is That There Is No Other Locality Any Where (That Is Superior as a Poultry Country i ; 1 ' . ;' (The following by E. O. Newport of Tangent, one of the best posted men In Oregon on the industry appears in the May number of the Northwest Poultry Journal, of Sa lem, and it is worth the attention of every forward looking; person in the Willamette valley:) The poultry .Uifeiness, is .getting, to be a big game in the Willam-j ette valley, as well as all- along; the whole coast. Those who arei "in the game," and have played their cards well, are meeting with a most encouraging measure ! of success. - -"""""""I" No line of industry has gone forward with such strides, -in the last five' bears, as' has the" poultry business in this valley. ; " j As a well known ad. puts it, "there's a reason," and? that rea son is; that there is no other locality, known to this writer-, where Jthe hen does better on thfe same amount of feed than righjt here in this valley. ( Government statistics show thatJ the Oregon farm-hen averages 180- eggs a year, while the Eastern hen layjs only 120, a difference of five dozen.! - : ' j j Our mild winters and cool suni mers are very much in our favor, and feeding conditions are as good if not better, than those of other places because of the abundance of green feed, such as kale, etc. : I am not advising every farmer to lay down the scythe and the hoe and rush into the poultry business, but I do advocate every farmer keeping from 200 to 500 stapdard-bred hens;- j I advise this because it will increase his pop ularity,, by. enrolling him as ! ja "cash cuistomer" at j the, grocery, the butcher, shop, arid the garage, at the proprietors of these dispen saries e will smile when he eomes in and bow when Ae goes out. .; j For the sake of those who do not know the profit! than can be derived from a flock of 250 Whitle Leghorn' hens, let me say thai a pen of ISO pullets, hatched n February, laid in our trap nestjs, during October, November, and December 663 dozen, eggs. . s I These eggs were sold at an average of 48 cents per dozen. Want to Your Notiomi Williamson courtesy of the LLAMETTE bringing ..In-$318.24 of which amount $246 was clear profit. ,Cost of production Is not to ba deducted, for the reason that there has been no depreciation In value. We were offered for these hens, a little later, piore than they were worth when they were six months old. j - , ' ' s "Even at the end of another year, we' can insert r a small ad. i some good poultry Journal and sell them for more than, it cost us to raise them.: i . j ' - If your hens are of good stock. you- can make a much larger pro fit by advertising hatehing-egga for which there Is now a strong and constant demand. If you hav ' some good hatching eggs, or a pen of ancy cockerels, mail a small ad. to your home paper and ti the Northwest Poultry Journal " and you will be surprised; at the results. We have been sold out continuously! on baby chicks an breeding stock since we took out a Breeder's Card in the Journal. On my. desk j is a registered letter from a man Jn Honolulu,! order ing fifty hens and five cockrels, so far does 'the Journal go. Of course, the poltry business does hot abrogate any of the laws of nature. It does not ire ward Indolence, neglect, or stupidity any more than other, business "do. 1 It pays profits in proportion to the punch of practicality you put into it. No one wins at it unless he puts the "try" in poultry. It's my advice that you put up a try, this fall. I j Buy some ship-lap lumber;'' build a .conjfortable. draft-proof, well ventilated" hen house i buy a fine flock of early-hatched pullets. give o.ttrvfjfe or. daughte a half interest in her work; furnish a kale patch" and a bin of wheat; and then watch what happens. Do all tjese things, "and if you don't soon see ."tfie smile that won't come off" shining through the wrinkles on your wife's face as sh- (plans for a new dress fori herself and insists ihat you replace! the old, shiny Stetson with a new pne, I then I'm literary liar of no mean proportions.
