year, run up to 111,032 horse'

state engineer's office, with in
definite additional power, and
with the developed and partially
developed powers the totals run
up above-250,000 horsepower de

radios of approximately 50 miles
of Salem. 5
A little further away from Sa
lem, but easily available for use
here, there are at least 100,000
horsepower of1 water powers on
theMcKenzie river. 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- '

Had you realized that this is
as much a Salem project as it is a
Portland project that the j Oak

about the same distance from Sa

miles on an air line? The water

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

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.

There are evidences that big things

powers of the Deschutes river are
not more than 50 miles from Sa

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

the . interests connected with the
Bank of Italy group of California
may be looking to developments on

Leg weakness in chicks is a
rather peculiar, disease found most
often in incubator hatched chicles
at, the age of 10 to 40 days. It
frequently attacks chicks which

usually several cases at about the

THIS WEEK'S SLOGAN
DID YOU KNOW That water is running; idle down the
def iles of the Cascades and the Coast Range within easy
distance of Salem (within an average of less than oO
miles) affording cheaply developed' hydro-electric pro
jects that would aggregate jmore than 250,000 horse
power; that within a radius: of 100 miles over 500,000
horsepower could be developed, and, with power lines
no longer than some lines in use in California, three to
four million horsepower; that-Salem may. absolutely as
sure her steady growth by the development of the first
named 250,000 and over horsepower for use here in in
dustries; that she may become a city of a half million
population ;by developing and using the j powers within
a radius of 100 miles, and that it would be a splendid and
sound move for this city, as a city, or as individuals
organized into companies, 4o undertake water power
development her on an ambitious scale, and to do it
now? ; Ml ; ' ! '

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.

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

the punch of practicality you put
