Guest) SHALL OUR CINDERELLA SIT ALWAYS BY THE FIRE? MUCH information about power development in the prov ince of Ontario, Canada, is given in an editorial by the Orejron Journal, reproduced on this page today. The facts about Ontario power development are worth studying by the people of the Oregon country for the reason that the latent hydro electric power of the Columbia basin constitutes our most magnificent undeveloped resource. Ontario grew tired of waiting for private enterprise to han dle the problem. That was natural because the job was very difficult for private capital to handle. The purpose back of a private investment is to make money for the investors, not nec essarily public service. By the nature of things a private in vestment in electrical development calls for the smallest invest ment practical in view of conditions and the greatest possible returns. The same is true of other lines of business and private electrical companies are not to be blamed. Men operating those companies are only human. But the public interest calls for maximum development and the lowest possible price for electricity when it is placed on the market. In Ontario the people found the answer and their answer works. Ontario has developed power m huge quan tities. The whole province is the gainer and will continue to permanently benefit by the program. If we are to make use of the latent power of the Colur-'-' basin we must look to public development. We have relied on 1 private enterprise for the last hundred years and not a kilo wat of power is being generated on the Columbia. The situa tion on the Columbia calls for federal aid because power devel opment on our great river will carry with it canalization of the river and irrigation on such a large scale that it can be properly Handled only through the U. S. reclamation service. If the northwest wants to see the Columbia harnessed it must look to political action. We made a good start in this direction when the legislatures of Oregon and Washington passed memo rials supporting the request of the Umatilla rapids power site association that the federal water power commission make a survey of our project. If, as is believed here, this project is the most feasible for early development then the two states should unite in putting it over as soon as the proposition Is ready. It can be done if the people of the northwest will exert the same energy that is now being shown by the southwest in behalf of the Colorado project. It can be done if we will work as did the south in behalf of power development on the Tennessee. Do we want our region developed or not? Shall we make cur Cinderella sit always by the fire in her kitchen clothes or shall we invoke the magic wand and secure for her the place to which she is entitled? THE WHEAT SITUATION SOME very interesting facts about the wheat situation are contained in the following extract from he August review by the National City Bank : The government's official report on crop conditions for July fniecaftt XOfl n illion bUKhels of wheat, 1329 million buxhels of oats, Tni 3123 million bush els it corn.

Canada's nop h- now estimated at around .ton iiiilli jn bushel, v.hi'h is n little above the yield of last year. Movement of wheat has been exceptionally heavy during July. From July J to 26, 11,743 cars arrived In Kansas City alone, as compared with 3959 for the autne period last year, and an average of about EUOO for the same period eaeli year since 1914. The same heavy movement is apparent at Chicago. lleasons that He behind the early marketing in such quantities are obvious. T)i farmer's eaperienee last year In holding back his grain In the hope of a better price met with such discouraging results that there is little temptation to try the same experiment again this season. Sloreover his need for current fund is urgent. The fact that railroad cars are eaa:er to obtain this year than they were last, furnishes another incentive to early marketing. The not infrequently expressed fear thut 1921's wheat crop might be In ex cess of world needs, seems to be unfounded. Russia is still out of the market. Hs a seller, and Is actually buying flour from outside, apparently India's posi tion will lie changed from that of exporter to Importer; and Koumania will Jinve no wheat to export. It is predicted. Althouh the grain crops over Eu-i rope are generally reported to be good, the carry-over was small. Bradstreet's vdt'ulutea that the Importing countries will buy about the same amount as liift year. Much now depends on the growing crops In Argentina and Austral ia, where acreage Is about the same as last year and prospects to date are re- jiortod lavorablc. India will probably take what Australia has to spare. The market has stood up well under the heavy receipts from this crop demonstrating the services of the speculator, for undoubtedly the deliveries Jiave been far beyond the needs for immediate consumption. Generally speaking the situation looxs good from the stand point of the producer, particularly so if the proposed work by Ine revived war finance commission accomplished anything like what is expected of it. However, world trade is depressed and this fact must be borne in mind. Too much should not be ex pected under prevailing conditions H. D.

A demonstration of public hydro electric development Is going on in the province of Ontario, Canada, which merits and is receiving the attention of power experts and similarly ambl tioned states and provinces every where. . What has happened, fjriefly, is the electrification of a great province by a public commission. It has created the largest electrical generating and dis tribution system in the world. It now uses 313,000 horsepower, and is add ing the new. Chippewa plant on the Ni agara with an initial capacity of 300,-1 000 horsepower and an ultimate ca-j pacity of 1,001). 000 horsepower. Within three years the commission expects to be serving 1.400,000 horse- power ia a district bounded by the j Ottawa valley on the east, the Detroit river on the west, and from Lakes Erie i and Onturio on the south to the re gions north of Lake Superior. Power, I'ght and heat are furnished to 181 municipalities, divided Into 12 dis tricts. Power is carried from Niagara to Windsor, a distance of 250 miles, and the rates in that city of 25,000 people are said to be 40 per cent low er than in Detroit, with its million in habitants, 'just across the internation al boundary line. In Ottawa the citizens had be?n paying a private company, which the hydro-electric power commission of Ontaria took over, 15 cents a kilowatt hour for light and $40 a horsepower. Under public operation the charge was reduced to $25 a horsepower for In dustries and to 7 1-2 cents a kilowatt hour for light.' Power And light are distributed in the rural districts. Farm homes are lighted and silos are filled through Jhe medium of electric current. The com. l liss-ion keeps In touch with 21 water plants and the generating system un der its control by the aid of 2000 miles of private wires, j' From a fairly modest beginning the commission has ncriuirerl nlant emifn- ment valued at $56,923,000. Plants owned by constituent municipalities under the commission are valued at $24.298 .870. The administration of fices and other buildings are worth $1,000,000. An investment of $13. 000,000 was made in the development of power by the commission on the Canadian side of Niagara. The assets of the commission total $106 600,000. The story of how the province of Ontario became the leading Industrial district of Canada through the Impetus given by publicly developed power is staggering in the size of the service rendered and the figures of cost, op uaticn rnd return. In the Columbia basin are 21.000,- 000 potential hydro-electrical horse power. In Oregon the potential horse power oceeds 7.000,000. Celilo rap ids on the Columbia, if developed, would produce 480,000 horsepower, and an additional 320,000 horsepower fr ejght months of the year. Some 200 000 horsepower could be develop ed at "h Cascades of the Columbia. H.is rnyone sufficient grasp of the suli.-fi 1 to visualize what would hi ) -pen Industrially if the Ontario plan of 1 ower 'pve!opment were apulied to tho water power of the Columbia ba sin? i ; U.
