If electric power can be developed at Umatilla rapid on the Columbia river, one or the bis problem con fronting the management of the EaKt ern Oregon Btule Hospital will be wiv ed. The Institution la threatened with a serious advance In both fuel cost and It charge for electricity.

The mon ey Is Included In the appropriation just panned by the legislature and was obtained on the strength of the fact the I aclflo Power ft IJght company haa nearly doubled the charge for power supplied to the hospital, s Metric Jlate Advam-cd.

S Firemen VwA Frcm what ! known of present prices for coal to large users It Is pos sible that the hospital s fuel bill, under a new contract may run to 120,000 a year. This of course Is the baie cost of fuel and doea not Include tne labor expense Involved In heating by coal. Three firemen ara used In the opera tion of the hospital's heating plant, which labor cost would of course be reduced in the event the Institution could be elootrleally healed through power from a souive like the propos ed Umatilla raplda plant.
