fchea Luper, State Engineer,
Gives Address Before
Eugene Meet
Predicting that in another 10
Year period large units of water
power will be available in Oregon
at attractive prices, Rhea Luper,
"state engineer, Friday afternoon
-addressed the newly formed state
wide engineers' organization at
their first annual convention in
Eugene. Luper, the only Salem
Man in attendance, talked on "The
Development of Water Power la
1
INCREASING UW
1X1.cI.
There:
Americans dtlxens who' think it
queer that Ramsey McDonald may
be premier without a majority of
vote should recall that the same
situation may prevail In United
States. In the case of Clereland'a
first defeat he secured more votes
than his opponent. Under the out
worn system of electoral vet in g.
the popular roce in this United
States is entirely disregarded and
the electoral vote is made supreme.
-
Ramsey McDonald is by no
means the political enigma he was
in 1924. Then England, consenr
atiYQ at heart, was frankly afraid
of this "socalist." When McDon
ald donned knee trousers he
speedily warned off much of the
doubt which existed in the minds
of the old royalists.
With only 190 seats in parlia
ment the McDonald government of
1924 was soon out but now, even
though lacking a majority, it is
infinitely stronger. The upshot
of Thursday's election shows very
clearly that England thinks the
conservative party has fallen down
in its fire years at the helm and
that the country is willing to let
the laborites see what they can do
to redeem England's existing eco
nomic plight. '
If you had just signed an agree
ment with a fellow merchant not
to cut prices, you would be curi
ous and alarmed to see him paint
Oregon." The convention will end
today, some hundred engineers be
ing in attendance.
Engineer Luper gave a general
review of laws relating to water
and their effect on water power
development, and also the history
of water development, showing
the increased use in ten-year per
iods from 1850 when the first rec
ords show application for 0 horse
power near Silverton Growth was
gradual until 1900-10 when
260,000 h. p. were claimed. At
the present time, Oregon has 300,
000 horse power of water in use
out of a potential water power of
3,665,000 h. p. 90 per cent of the
time or 6,000,000 h. p. for 50
per cent of the time.
Oregon's district of the Colum
bia river basn has 1,408,000 h. p.
of water available, with other
streams rated thus: Klamath ba
sin, 132,000; Umpqua, 657,000;
Rogue River, 432,000; Snake riv
er, 823,000. and Deschutes, 734,
000. Public utility plants use the
greatest horsepower, with 65 util
ities using 245,000 h. p. he stated;
pulp and paper with mechanical
power runs with 44,000 h. p.; ir
rigation pumping uses 3,500; min
ing 2,500 and miscellany, 6,000.
The Portland electric Power plant
at Oak Grove uses the largest sin
gle unit, 35,000 h. p.
From a study of the develop
ment so far, it would seem growth
has followed rather than preceded
inriket requirements, Mr. Luper

Tor heaven's sake, what's the
matter? T" Her face was livid, her
voice choked with hiccoughing
sobs. A torrent ot worda" shook
her. poured over hint before he
collected his wits enough to listen.
Was this Daphne? This white
faced furyT It couldn't be! . . .
He missed the import ot her first
burning, incoherent words. Slowly
it dawned on him. She was ac
cusing him. Accusing him of ruin
ing Allan Winters, to save him
self. "You're crazy!" he aaid and
tried to smile, but his lips were
so dry he couldn't.
He put his hands to his throb
bing temples and wished the
pounding would stop, so that he
could think. "You've given me a
fine headache!" he whispered re
sentfully. "Coming here with a
cock and bull story like that. Ton
ought to be ashamed of yourself!
CHAPTER LXin
TTXAPHNE had apparently said

grve place to anger. What did she
mean anyway? Who would believe
her crazy yarn? "Say! Nobody Is
going to talk like that to me. not
even a silly girl!" he blustered.
"You ehange your tune, Daphne,
and change it quick -d you hear
me? What would anybody think
who heard you? Nice kind of a
story to spread. . . . Why, he
skipped ten months ago! This is
a fine time to come shoveling old
dirt!"
Ten months ago almost a
year. He had almost forgotten the
whole miserable business. Now
she had come to rake It up. The
pulse in his temple went on ham
mering. His fingers ached to
shake her, to hurt her. . . . After
ten months ... to start this . . .
hadn't he had trouble enough?
He licked his dry lips. "I don't
want to hear any more about it
do you understand? I'll put up
with a lot from you. Daphne, but
there are limits. My God, that's
too much. After all I did for him.
I suppose you are still rankling
over what I said last night. I hit
the nail on the head, that's all.
Well, I've taken enough from him,
and you, too, if you are a woman.
Just pull that kind of talk again
and there'll be trouble. I won't
take it not from anybody!"
She listened, very quietly. Ap
parently she had nothing to say.
She had gone off like a rocket,
he decided, and spent herself. Her
white-hot fury had cooled. She
was the old Daphne again, small
and quiet and timid. He even man
aged to laugh. "Craziest thing I
ever heard. Ha, ha! But don't
let me hear It again!"
He was right, her fury was
spent, but it was not the old
Daphne, who was waiting quietly
for him to finish. The old Daphne
was gone, never to coma back
again. It was a new Daphne now,
a Daphne grown up.
"Very well," she said In a small
cold voice. "I won't say anything
more to you about K. x was fool

impulse of the moment. I thought

then, with bitter pity. "You can

He let her get almost to the
door, and then he was upon her,
pinioning her arms, pushing: her

regret. What hare yon found?
What la it? . Have they planted J
something on me? what do you
think you have? Tell, me!"
He was hurting her wrists, but
she made no effort to release
them. "Don't yon understand,
Ralph? I found the records the
bank withdrawals you know, and!
Allan's account ot every cent he
turned over to you " I
He dropped her hands. Wiped
his mouth with a neat handker
chief. "A mere blind." he smiled.
"What does It mean? Nothing at
all," He was speaking very
smoothly now. Almost too smooth
ly. "What would h man In his
position naturally do? Just that.
He drew money from the bank
for reasons best known to him
self. I trusted him so excessively
that I never questioned. That's
where lam open to publie cen
sure. I was too lax. My na
ture, you know. I let him run
things his way which he did!
He played the little game they
all play he thought he could
beat the market, buying on a
close margin.
"If things bad gone as he ex
pected, he'd have made a fortune
and no one the wiser. But the
unforeseen happened he was
caught short, with some twenty
thousand to raise in a hurry. So
he left without leaving a for
warding address, and that, my
dear little girl Is the situation in
a nutshell. Had he remained he
would have been forced to ex
plain. As it was. I was stnek for
his losses, Greely gave me the
third degree and got It out of
me.. I'd have spared him If I
could. I stood the loss. Wasn't
that enough?"
She shook her head. "No. It's
no use, Ralph. No use at all,"
she repeated wearily. "It's all
there Is In black and white. Even
one note from Allan to you de
manding an accounting, and
fyour answer written right on it

She saw him start. One eye
brow was twitching nervously.
Mr. Greely has it all I left it
with him before I came here. . . .
I thought it was best ... I want

''Very kind of you." he said
at last. "You're taken good
care to elear your little friend,

He sank, into a chair and bur
ied his blond head In his hands.
There seemed nothing left to
wait for, nothing left to say. She
began to pick up her things.
"Go on.'t he aald through his
shaking fingers. "Make it snap

fatal to look back. Daphne knew
it as she turned.
Ralph's blond head was still
burled In his hands. Long shud
dering breaths shook him . . .
Crying . . . Ralph crying . . .
So she came to him, and put
her small, cold hands on his
shoulders. "I'm sorry," she said
painfully. It's just my luck that
it had to be me, to find out "
The odd, choking noise went
on, and she waited nervously.
"Please don't take It like that."
she begged. After a while she
dropped to her knees beside him,
comforting him. She was filled
with pity and disgust. This was
the man she had loved so well
The man whom she had believed
could never do a little thing. This
was her idol shattered. This was
the end of her dreams.
