HERE; DEMAND IS HEAVY CELILO FALLS DEVELOPS ENORMOUS HORSE POWER F OR FOB OVEB A IEAB If Robeno Batista, the Swiss-Italian picked tip here with handcuffs grown Into' his arms, proves to be the man the officers suspect and if a tele gram received from Seattle Is typo graphically correct, the man had worn the handcuffs for more than a year and a half before they were cut out of his arms here. E. L. Wells, Immigration agent at Walla Walla, Is here today and from telegrams In his possession It seems certain that Batista Is the same man who escaped from A federal officer at Nooksnck, Washington, on June 19, 1913. Mr. Wells, upon hearing of the strange case hero and of the story the man told, wired to Seattle. The response was a telegram Btutlng that an Italian, name unknown, height five feet four or five with dark hair nnd light moustache had escaped at N'ooksack on June 19, 1913, wearing handcuffs and had not since been apprehended. The description fits Batista well and the fact that Nook sack 1b a town near the Canadian border agrees with Batista's own story of his arrest and escape. The officers thing if probable that the telegram should have read Juno 19, 1914, Instead of 1913. The man who escaped at Nooksactc had been picked up on the suspicion that he was an alien coming Into this country AMERICA WILL INSIST UPON PUBLICITY IN ITS PROTEST ALL DIPLOMATIC EXCHANGES WITH GREAT BRITAIN WILL BE PUBLISHED.

ENGINEERS MAKE ESTIMATES PROJECT WILL COST 50 MIL LION DOLLARS. PORTLAND. Ore.. Jan. 8 Ensl neers who conducted en Investigation under the cooperative contract be tween the state und federal govern ments of wuterpower posibillties at Celllo Falls, on the Columbia river, report that four hundred eighty thou sand horsepower may be developed. It is estimated the cost of thfit pro ject will be $,10,000,000. Because of the great coet and the large amount of power for which It would be dif ficult to obtain a market, engineers say the project Isn't feasible as a commercial undertaking at this time. Every week that passes seems to bring fresh strength to the wool mar ket and there are multiplying Indica tions that the market next spring will be skyward. Based on prices now be. ing paid in Boston good coarse wool, half blood, is worth upwards of 23 1-2 cents in Pendleton. It is said the mar ket really Justifies So cents for coarse wool, Pendleton delivery. So strong is thei wool market ow ing to the natural shortage and the war demand that it is said the remov al of the English! embargo would make no appreciate difference In the price. However aa understood here the Australian embargo has -been re moved only with reference to merinos and not upon coarse wool. Tet that fact does not seem to prevent high prices for fine wool too, as reports from the east show unprecedented prices. the Boston market in the past week. transfers aggregating over 4.000,000 pounds. Full prices were paid for territories. Details of the business were not made public, but substantial loU of quarter-bloods have been ab sorbed at 25 1-2 to 26 cents. Parcels of Montana half blood and three eighths blood have changed hands at 25 cents.
