DISTRICT INDUSTRIES EIGHTH CONSEfcl)TIVE YEAR L l- I rJ J3 JLVii ONLY TWO STUDENTS TACKLED THE T SUBJECT THIS WEEK; BOTH GIRLS ': --Sixteen .weeks ago it was announced that The Statesman would pay $5 a week, till further notice, to the high schooler grade school boy or girl in Marion or Polk county who would submit the best, article on the current Slogan subject. The articles are to be in the office (or mailed) by noon of Tues day of the week of the Slogan subject. All articles submitted to belong to The Statesman. The editor to judge as to the best, in deciding who shall receive the $5. The idea is to fur nish an opportunity to make the rising generation acquainted with the many and great advantages of the district, in which they are to take active part in the.f uture. They are to be the leaders is they grow into manhood and womanhood. There have been from one the first week iaas many as 11 contest ant.""There have been no blanks. "But" there are only two this weelraliard subject for public school pupils. But the two have done well, and it is hard, to decide which is the better. ;The $5: goes to Deena Hart, and Olive Josephine An derson is to nave a ticket to a moving picture show any moving picture show selected, at the Oregon, Capitol or Elsi nore. There will likely be surprise prizes most weeks. One other thing. The Statesman wants the photograph of the first prize winner each week. If the winner has no photo, please go to the Kennel-Ellis studio, 429 Oregon -building, Salem, and have one taken, at the expense of The Statesman. When a 'few photos are in hand, cuts will be made of the first prize, winners, to be printed in The Statesman ; and per haps in other papers. The boys and girls will please write on only one side of the-paper. The following are the articles 4 for this week: ' SALEWl FftVORED IN RESPECT OF POWER Editor Statesman: .In the early ages man struggled for mere existence and for the right to me. At last forced ty need, he contrived things for his comfWjf; which are now looked, upon as necessities. HIa earliest object was- a plentiful water sup- rtlv Ua AAttlt tint an live uH f h- : out it."". : '. . . In .these, days, the conservation of the 'water, sources and supplies is claiming. the attention and the thought of every individual inter, ented ia the industries. Watr power is a very cheap clt,y and ip their secondary appli cation In this form send the pow- er tp great distances. Mills can be situated In any favorable local ity and have power. Salem is unusually favored in this respect. The . Little North Fork and Big North Fork of the Santiam and the Willamette are ' near enough to be used for power.

Might not Salem reach the size of Los "Angeles if she too used tha resources so near?

VJ DUR UNDEVELOPED WATER POW see Editor Statesman: Water powers are classified ac cording to the height of the falL This fall is called the head. Streams " are the most available sources of water power. Plants of the high power class are usual ly found in mountain regions, where dams for impounding the water of small streams are con structed at levels from several hundreds of feet to thousands of feet above the location of the wheels, to which the water is con ducted. -Power plants of this type have a small volume of water. Most of the large factories, mills and electric plants of the world are located on the banks of rapid ly flowing streams, because. .water power is. much cheaper than any other for operating machinery. The horse power, a force that will raise 33,000 pounds one foot in one minute' or 1550 pounds one foot in one second", is the" unit employed in measuring- water power. Only a part of the water power of the world has been developed, of the small portion that is known. The water power of the United States is estimated at 54.000,000 horse power. Of this about 14 per cent or 8 ,000,00 ft horse power, has been developed. ' ; The-..waves of the ocean exert almost unlimited power, but as yet.no device has been found for using this power1. It may be that in the future the Willamette val ley will get its water power' from the Pacific ocean. . Our Water Power The Willamette valley - has a great extent of water power, both developed and undeveloped. This valley includes these ; counties: Columbia, Washington, Multno mah, Yamhill, Clackamas, Polk, Marion, Linn, Benton and Lane. The principal rivers of Columbia county are the Columbia, Nehalem and Clatskanie. There is consid erable water power, undeveloped there. In Benton, the Willamette, Mary's and 'Luckiamute are the chief rivers. When the water power is developed that county will have an abundance for exten sive manufacturing. In Washing? ton county the chief river is. the Tualatin. The .wealth In water power in that county is practically undeveloped. - .The rivers and streams of Yamhill county are fast flowing rand pure, which are ex cellent for water power. Water power Is awaiting development on the upper Yamhill and the north fork of the Yamhill and Willa mlna rivers. The Willamette. Clackamas and. Tualatin: rivers are the principal ones of Clackamas county. Approximately' ,215,560 undeveloped horse power is avail able Ins ;Lane county: .The chief rivers are the Willamette and Mc Kenzie. ' In Linn county approxi mately 20,000 horse power exists undeveloped in Hhe f wo Santlani branches and the .Calapoola. There are several saw j mills along: "the Santiam- river ; which get?v their , power from that river.

They have ex tensive manufacturing run by wa ter power already in that county. Marion county has 100,000 horse power available in Willamette and Santiam rivers alone. Polk coun ty has approximately 2500 horse power undeveloped. The main rivers are the Willamette, Yamhill and the Luckiamute. The Portland Electric Power company uses some water power and some steam. The water pow er is gotten from the different rivers near. I think in the future more, of our manufacturing will be done by water power, because we have so much; that is as yet undeveloped, and it. is less expensive than steam. : -' - Olive JosephlneTAnderson, 865 Marion St., Salem, Ore., May 16,1927.

STORM CAUSE OF DEATH District Game Warden Killed in Automobile Accident BEND, Or May 18. (AP.) -Clarence Adams, deputy district game warden and former .Deschu tes county deputy sheriff, was Will ed last Tuesday when his, automo bile left the highway and rolled over In a ditch near Tumalo. Those who investigated the death believed Adams was a. vic tim of the severe storm that swept over Deschutes county. AdamS had been driving with the wind, a 40 mile gale which swept out at the southwest. The cloud of dust stir red up by the car swirled around the machine, blinding Adams, it was believed, so that he was uri able to see a surve inUhe road. - MOSQUITOS OX RUN CHICAGO Seventeen kinds of mosquitos once fed upon the cul tured folk who attended outdoor summer opera at Ravlna Park, on Chicago's north shore. Sixteen species have been ex terminated, and now only the migratory "skeeter" remains. His breeding ground, health officials are sure, is within a few miles of Ravlna, and a hunt is on.

And 200 miles is not a long distance- at the present time foT high voltage electric power lines. More than half the water pow ers of the United States are in the three Pacific coast states: the largest add cheapest power proj ect in the world is the Columbia river project: In California 4 00 mile high voltage lines are not uncommon; and so the great Co lumbia river project is within reach of Salem for future hydro electric power. Up to three years ago there had been marked out about 150,000 horsepower within 50 miles of Salem. This has been increased In that time to over 250,000, counting . projects under 100 horsepower. FOR WEST SALEM New Quarters for Five Hun dred Birds to Start With; It Will Expand 1 Mrs. Grace E. Sears, 1161 Fourth street; West Salem, has taken over the management of the Lee Barber pigeon lofts, and birds have been moved to fine new quarters on Fourth street. West Salem, . f Housing for 500 birds is being provldecL The venture is a com mercial squab plant, provided to furnish the local demand for fine eating. It. is hoped in time to provide enough working birds to allow a margin of squabs to ship to out side markets. Mrs. Sears is assisted by her son Wallace, who is already a pigeon fancier. . . Chances for Expansion : There are chances tor much: ex pansion in this Industry. There are a number of squab farms down Portland way that have been building up large demands in that city. It is possible to work up a demand' in the local market for a regular, and increasing supply of GIDEON STOLZ CO Manufacturers of Vinegar, Soda Water, ' Fountain Supplies Salem Phone 20 Ore.
