ONTARIO VS .OREGON
GOVERNOR OLCOTTIS request for repeal of the quarter
mill road tax is founded on a desire that some needed
improvements be made at the boys' training school. That
the school is now poorly equipped is probably true and the gov
ernor's humanitarism is to be commended.
' But who says Oregon must curtail on road work in order to
provide a fit training school for unfortunate' or incorrigible
boys? Is this state so hard pressed it cannot do its duty in one
department without cutting down on other work that is vitally
ceeded?
i The East Oregonian refuses to believe it. Oregon is not as
impoverished as some would have the world believe. Besides.
there are other forms of economy aside from starving our state
institutions or crimping the highway program. ,
. i We are letting one of our best assets water power go to
waste. Twenty million horse power in the Columbia basin is
unused while we buy expensive coal and oil on which we pay
high freight rates. The sum we sacrifice in this respect would
build a thousand boys' training schools. -' . -
Does Oregon have to endure this colossal waste? If so, then
we must confess that we lack the ingenuity and progressivencss
cf the people of Canada.
The province of Ontario, Canada, is solving this problem.
Just how it is done is not clear to this paper, but a New Lork
newspaper on January 12 published the following summary of
what has been acomplished and those results speak volumes:
"Ontario hydro-electric system established in 1910, when it
supplied power to six municipalities.
"In 1920, 250 municipalities were supplied with power at
cost. " ,; ...
. "Private company in Toronto, Ontario, before the advent of
the public commission, charged 12 cents per kilowatt hour for
commercial lighting. The rate now under the hydro-eloctric
plan is z cents per kilowatt hour.
"For electricity used by manufacturers the price has been
reduced to $14.50 per horse power. In New York state the,
price for the same power is from $50 to $75.
"The saving to user3 of electricity for household purposes
alone has been $2,380,000 a year. . -. "
v. i " "Cheap electric power has reduced the consumption of bitu
minous coal in the Province of Ontario from five to six million
tins per year.
"It has reduced the freight haul on all this coal and elimi
nated obnoxious smoke to that degree.
"It has made electricity available to the farmers by taking
the place of gas engines and other power and is used by the
farmers' wives for household purposes.
"Provides that the municipalities shall pay in the power-rate
bonds in thirty years and at the end of that time own the hydro
electric plant free of debt."
If Ontario can do suci things, why cannot Oregon and
Washington, especially if we can get some federal help" for rec
lamation purposess? The Columbia basin power sites are:
among the best in the world and constitute one-third the poten
tial hydro-electric energy of the nation.
.Why not get busy with a view to developing our resources,"
thea we will not have to fuss so much over economy in places
where we already operate on a parsimonious basis.
President-elect Harding is going to wait a month after his
inauguration before calling congress into special session to save
the nation and the world from democratic misrule, it is now an
nounced. This is startling, indeed. Most of the anti-Wilson or
atory and editorial effort prior to November 2 indicated that
the fate of Uncle Sam was most critical and that nothing short
of a swift G. O. P. operation could save his life. Then why wait
a whole long month?
Through action of the public service commission Portland
homeowners face an increase of 70 per cent in the Drice of pas
The advance in rates is attributed to the fact that gas in Port
hind is made from oil imported from California and the price
of this oil is four times what it was.in pre war davs. The Rnp
City should devote some attention to the matter of generating
electric power at Bonneville and Celilo. It is practical to heat
houses and cook with electricity if you have the electricity. .
One cannot help but man-el t the
exceptional strong cast that DoukIhs
Fairbanks has gathered to support him
In hln latest United AvtisU production.
"The. Murk of Zoom," an adaptation
of Johnston MeCulley'n novel, -The
Curse ot Caplstrano" that appeared
serially in the "All Story Weekly"
magazine recently. This picture will
be the feature attraction nt the Alta
Theatre commencing today. '
As this highly liiternwtlng story is
practically a deviation from those pre
viously attempted by Mr. Fairbanks In
so far as the locale, plot, time and
customs are concerned, he haa success,
fully striven and collected a cast which
has been specially adapted In playing
their respective parts. ,
For the 'feminine lead. Miss Mar
gnerite DeLaMotte, a mere slip of a
girl, was finally selected after a host
of prominent candldiates were person
ally considered by Mr. Fairbanks. In
cidentally this is another occasion
where "Doug" has choson a new leaa
ing woman. Bya curious coincidence
her first screen appearance was with
the Fairbanks organixaUon in the pro
duction of "AriKona.".. Fully cognis
ant that the camera offered her a
wider scope for the eNploitatlon of her
talent and art, Miss PeLaMotte was
persuaded to terminate a highly prom
islng stage career. It Was not until
The Mark of Zorro had been def'
Irately decided for his next itroduction.
that Mr. Fairbanks found it to contain
the Ideal role for the promotion of her
skill and therefore lost no time in en
gaging her. -
Noah Beery, who portrays the Big,
pretentious Gonzales, and who sup
plies some, of the humor by his boast
ing and ludicrous actions, is already
acquainted to the vast host of screen
admirers for his esteemed efforts In
numerous other productions. The
character assigned to him in this pic
ture certainly affords him the oppor
tunity of displaying that part in which
he excels.

SPRINGFIELD, 111., Jan. 18. (C.

were just aa rabid as those of today,
according to the summary of a game
played at Baltimore, Maryland on
October 6. 1860, printed in a paper
called "Wifke's Spirit of the Times"
which at that time was an authority
on all sports. A Springfield sporting
man has a copy of the issue.
The rival teams were the Brooklyn
New York "Excelsiors" and the Balti
more Excelsiors." With no pop bot

know what they were missing. The
three thousand spectators maintained
good order, with exceptions of "Oc

pressing too close upon the catcher."
