j AGE OF ELECTRICITY AND OUR JVHITE COAL
About 1874,: at an exhibition of electrical devices of
Vienna, the wires from a crude dynamo were accidentally
attached to another dynamo and at once its armature began
:- to revolve . j ".. .
And thus was unwittingly discovered the method of
transmitting electrical energy. That day the j Age of Elec-
tricity began and as the years have gone by, its marvels have
increased. At Menb Park, N. J., near the city of New York,
the man who did most to make the commercial use of elec
tricity possible, still lives and labors. He has seen such a
change in the world, because of his inventive genius, as no
roan could have foretold in the first years of his work of
devising ways and means of creating and distributing electric
, current. . ' "--'"; - -
' It is fitting that the New York Edison company, about
to build a $50,000,000 power station at Fourteenth street and
East river, New York City, bears his name. This proposed
plant is to be capable of generating 1,000,000 horse power.
The ordinary roan has little conception of what that means,
or of the perfection of power machinery in these days of big
electric current generating units. !
For properly condensing the steam which the turbine
engines of this new system will Use 800,000 gallons of water
a minute will be pumped from the East river. J This is more j
water than New York City use3 in the same length of time.!
The coal which will be burned to make possible this power
development, would, were it to.be carted through the streets
of New York, require the use of a fleet of 500 large trucks.
It will riot be delivered in that fashion, however, but by water
and unloaded by machines capable of handling 500 tons
an hour. , ' : 'i':t V -;
, Enough power will be generated by this station alone to
provide 3,000,000 six-room houses with all tle electric light
their occupants might require, or it would give any state in
the Union, outside of New York, all the power.it consumes.

f Plans for working prisoners held for crimes are in
successful operation.; In Calif ornia and in some other states
they build and repair roads, t In Oregon they, work at several
occupations. In some counties they break rock and otherwise
engage in profitable labor. At Kelly Butte, Multnomah, pris
oners make a handsome profit for the county. Clackamas
county has plans under way to employ her prisoners at
breaking rock for the conuty roads, f ; ' ;
Marion county! has about twenty-five whose activities
have placed them behind the bars. A sufficient guard could
be maintained at small expense ; compared to the possible
earnings of the men. Work is their greatest needphysical,
mental and moral. Voluntary idleness usually leads to crime.
Enforced idleness in prison prepares of times for further
crime. It almost never reforms.

EXEMPLAR OF GOOD CITIZENSHIP
Compare this $50,000,000 investment with the expendi
ture of a like sum in developing water powers in Oregon -say
along the Deschutes river just over the Cascades from Salem.
Or in the Columbia river or any one of alialf dozen other of
its tributaries. ; I ; 3
The cost of the vast expenditures for coal would be
saved, and of pumping.the water to.make the steam, and of
the man power in attending to the vast waste in burning the
c6al and attending to the boilers and engines-j-
. Compared with which keeping up the water power equip
ment would be insignificant. ! r
And then, the water power would never consume itself.
It would never pinch out, as coal measures must do, and grow
scarce ; for it could be used and used and used, and never
diminish. ';:' '-.:- : Cn3C3
f This is a fair illustration of the great advantages we of
- this section, where we have available nearly half the poten
JLial water powers of the United States; advantages that will
bulk larger as the coal of the country arid of the world
approaches exhaustion or by reason of growing more scarce
arid more expensive to mine becomes a greater and even
greater item of expense. ' j ' "
. ' .This is the reason why our section, with its "white coal,"
and by reason, too, of having the bulk of the timber resources
of this continent, will become the great manufacturing section
of the United States and of the world. j! i
Mr. Edison recently said that electric power is the only
thing in the world'that is growing cheaper arid cheaper. It
will keep on growing cheaper, as our water power develop
ment proceeds, until the time will come when every other
section of this country, in competition in manufacturing, will
be at a greater and greater disadvantage as compared with
our section ; for the use of machinery in all manufacturing,
and in all the processes of living, grows arid grows, with new
inventions. j ; , ' -s
. This will tell amazingly iri the development of our flax
- and linen industries, in our sugar industry, and in a thousand
and indeed tens of thousands of ways, to the advantage of
our favored section.
GIVE THEM WORK
A job for everyone is a familiar slogan. Everyone for a
job would be a fine complement. But there are those who
are so particular about that job that while decision is being
made the jobs go undone.
What about jobs for the prisoners iri the county jail?
Wouldn't digging the plantain from the lawn around the
courthouse be a worthwhile job for them? j The county, is
now paying for their living; They are obtaining their food
and shelter without the "sweat of their brow." And these
conditions are bad for the county and for them.;!
There is no good reason, why. the taxpayers, should thus
bo taxed to maintain men in idleness. Nor is' there any reason
why even thess held for offenses against the community
chould expect to be kept in idleness at public expense. Even
In the passing of Thomas R. Marshall there has gone out
from American political life a character unique and out
standing. Governor of Indiana and vice president of the
nation his service was unique as it was meritorious. Modest
and methodical his work was accomplished with a quiet and
dispatch which elicited the most favorable comment.
Loyalty and unselfishness characterized his political
life. These were shown especially during the physical break
down of President Wilson. During this period near the close
of the administration when most men would have been! laying
plans for promotion from the second to the first office in the
land Vice President Marshall gave increased devotion to the
work and policies of his chief. He scorned the advantage
presented to elevate his own fortunes. The preferred duty
to self aggrandizement or official position! :; !! n
Marshall possessed poise and with it an exalted sense
of humor. His canaility and humor were of times safety valves
for senatorial action the balance wheel for that 'human
intensity of feeling and action which threatens wise and
deliberate procedure. So informal were his accomplishments
that then seldom elicit praise. But his life history presents
an exemplar of the high type of American citizenship.
Here's to the new members of the fish commission. Let us
hope they will "pour oil on the usually turbulent waters"
he fishing grounds.
The record of the last legislature appears to be well
preserved at the state house.

CHAPTER 473
THE DISCLOSURE LINDA CON
FIDINGLY MADE TO MADGE
Linda's weak face,' which once
had been pretty, held the shamed
grief and the mulish obstinacy of
a child who has been humiliated
She looked moodily at the door
through which Grace Draper had
just passed, and her chin quivered
with futile anger, while impotent
tears rolled down her cheeks. ;
"She hadn't ought to have told
the chef I snitched that little bit
of hooch." she said plaintively.
"It wasn't any harm, but he'll be
sore at me, and he's always treat
ed me white:"1' I don't know what
made me do It, anyway. I didn't
need to." ' ' - : ' ' :(
She stopped abruptly and look
ed furtively," speculatively at me
"Say. You look like , a good
kid." she announced at last. "And
you're sore at Gracie, too. Lookit.
You wouldn't snitch on me to her.
would you, if I showed you some-
thin?" v
I snatched at the heaven-sent
opportunity. ; :
"Of course I wouldn't," I said
warmly. , - j ,
She nodded her head' sagely.
"I knew you were good kid,"
she announced, and when she had
locked the door she came back to
me, staring at me with blinking,
red-rimmed eyes. - j
"You swear yotf " won't tell
Gracie," she said, j
"I swear it solemnly." I return
ed.. . ' . ' j ';
, "Thass all right' then," she said,
and walking to the radiator, pull
ed aside the exquisite hooked rug
which covered the jagged hole In
the floor. , .
"Come here," she said, with a
peremptory jerk of her head. "
t obeyed her quickly. v ; ,
"Kneel down here." she whis
pered, and when I (had done so,
she took my hand in hers and
thrust it into the jagged hole in
the floor boards. f .
Td Like to Go to Sleep."
"Reach over to the right and
get what's there," she Instructed.
My fingers closed upon a flat
bottle which I drew bat and hand
ed to her. She took it with a little
crooning sound of delight. Then,
with - a . frightened glance at , the
hole inKhe floor, she jumped up.
dragging me with her. and hastily
pushed the-rug over the hole.
IJierfl!g .somebody Ja the roonv
below," she said nervously, "and
that pipe's just like a telephone
wire. You can hear just as plain.
Nobody knows that but. me.
though, so don't you tell Gracie."
I With one . of the freakish J in
puts es of partial intoxication, Lin
da patently had taken a fancy to
me, and for the present I was Jn
high favor with her. he uncork
ed the bottle, lifted it to her lips,
tilted her head back, and with
closed eyes and rapturous face
took a long draught. Then she
held out the bottle with the gen
erous glow' of self-sacrifice on her
face.
! "Have a little snifter;" she in
vited cordially. "You look as if
you needed one."
"I'd love to. a little later," I
i revaricated promptly. "I have a
headache now, and even a taste
would make it much worse."
,To my great relief, for I feared
to offend her, she accepted my ex
planation. "I know," she said, wagging her
head sagely. "This stuff goes to
your head something fierce. I'd
like to go to sleep right now."
Familiar Voices. , .
She stood .looking Vacantly at
me for a minute, which seemed
endless, then a cunning' smile
spread over her face.
; "I'll tell you." she said. 'You're
awful tired Why don't you go
to sleep, too? We'll both- go to
sleep." " .
I seized the suggestion eagerly.
"That will be splendid!" I said.
"Only I don't want to go to bed.
I'll just get Into a negligee and
slippers and lie down on the
couch. But it's so near the fire,
can't we move It over the other
side of the room?" '
She considered judicially.
"Why, yes, I guess so," she
said. "Take holL? -'
: She was fast reeling slightly
when we grasped the couch, and
though I watched her furtively, I
saw that she suspected ' nothing
when I put the head of the couch
so near the nolo of the radiator
that could reach down and 'lift
the rug without moving front a
reclining position. I straightened
myself with a sense of relief, i
i "Now I'll have a
said. .
"So win Ir" she returned. "I'm
glad you don't want the bed, for
I'm going 'to take It. I need to
stretch-r-out." ; '
:' She watched me change to a
negligee with eyes which she tried
in vain to keep watchful. And no
sooner was I ensconced on the
couch than she' threw herself en
sconced on the couch than she
threw herself upon the bed.
S I had to wait only a few mo
ments before the - sound of her
breathing told .me she would be
safe for hours. ' . ..-;..
! Then I lifted the corner of the
rug "and listened for sounds from
the room below. And when an
hour had slipped by my vigil -was
rewarded by the sound of voices
voices which I recognized as those
of Grace Draper and Harry Under
