ACCUSED IN CVA DISPUTE
Three Western State Officials Said
To Follow Private Power 'Line'
Wnshineton. Aue. 1 W) Three western slate officials were
accused today of being guided by the "private power industry"
in writing statements supporting the coordinated program of the
army engineers reclamation bur-
eau for development of the
Columbia river basin.
Ben Stong, executive secre
tary of the national committee
on resources and an official of
the National Farmer's Union,
said In a statement two gover
nors and a state engineer had
written nearly Identical state
ments opposing construction of
"long transmission lines" in the
Columbia basin area in the Pa
cific northwest.
He named Gov. C. A. Rob
Ins of Idaho, Gov. John W. Bon
ner of Montana and L. C. Bish
op, Wyoming state engineer.
"The common origin of this
phraseology is so undisputnble
and clear that denials would be
an insult to the Intelligence of
citizens," Stong said.
"These three officials have
obviously permitted the big paw
of the power trust, which reaches
across great distances, to guide
their supine hands as they wrote
these standardized lines."
Stong also asserted that the
three officials, with Gov. Ar
thur B. Langlie, of Washington,
Gov. A. G. Crane of Wyoming,
Harold Linke, state engineer of
Utah, and J. V. Rogers, con
servative director of Washing
ton, took a slap at the proposed
Columbia valley administration
bill in making favorable reports
on the reclamation bureau's part
of the coordinated program for
development of the basin
"Taken together," he con
tinued, "these statements make
it obvious that high western of-

Caterpillars
Enter Silverton
Sllvcrlon, Aug. 1 Every ef
fort is being made to halt the
sudden Invasion of tent caterpil
lars over the week-end. They
apparently are centered around
South Second and Third streets
and Main street near the foot
of East hill.
Walnut and fruit trees at the
home of John Main were virtu
ally denuded by the insects,
which also ruined much of the
shrubbery.
Moving across the street to
the home of Dr. R. E. Klcinsorge
the invaders have started on the
shrubbery and It is here that
battle line has been drawn.

Albany Counts
Many New Noses
Albany Albany's population
now stands at almost 13,000, ac
cording to an estimate by Post
master Tom Palmer. The total
population in the area served
by the Albany postoffice is near
ly 20,000, he said.
Postmaster Palmer arrived at
his city estimate by multiplying
the number of carrier stops by
three and one half. The three
and a half represents a con
servative federal estimate of the
number of persons living at each
city mail address, he explained.
The exact figure for Albany
population, according to this
method of estimating, is 12,774,
The rural figure of 7200 was
determined by multiplying the
number of rural box holders,
1600, by four and one half.
Palmer explained that a larger
factor vas used for rural areas
because of generally larger fam
uies and the fact that most
farms have hired help receiving
mail at the same address.
The combined rural and city
estimate was 19,974.

Rainbow Only as Far Away
As Raindrops That Make It
I By J. HUGH PRUETT
The summer shower had passed beyond us. On the dark,
stormy clouds in the east a gorgeous rainbow was painted by
the setting sun as it shone over the western horizon. So near
were the retreating raindrops
that the lower end of one arm
of the arc was clearly outlined
between us and the hills, scarce
ly one-quarter mile away.
Someone suggested telephon
ing the professor across the
street to the north for he also
delights in brilliantly-colored
rainbows.
"But," said another, "he
couldn't see this nearby arm of
the rainbow, for from his house
it is behind that tall. fir." No,
he couldn't see the same one we
did, but he would see one of his
very own in exactly the same
direction from his as was this
one from us.
Came the (Surprised response,
"Do you mean the eastern sky
right now is packed full of rainbows?"
EXCITEMENT MAY BE TOO MUCH
Spectre of Death Clouds
Reunion After 43 Years
Detroit, Aug. 1 0J.R) The 3pectre of death prevented a son
Saturday from talking with his father whom he found after
43 years. '
why his father left home. After
a frantic search his young Wife
had him declared legally dead.
Both Harold and George con
tinued the search. Three years
ago they gave up when their
mother died. They too were
convinced he was 'dead.
Doctors feared the excitement
of a reunion would snuff the life
of William Geddes, critically ill
in a San Francisco hospital. '
Harold Geddes, a Detroit at
torney, and his brother, George,
had given up hope of finding
their father when police called
and said they had a letter from
their father.
The elder Geddes, who dis
appeared from his home in
Rochester, N. Y., 43 'years ago,
had seen Harold Geddes name
in a telephone book. He asked
police to check if the attorney
was his son.
But his two sons may never
learn why their father, an Erie
railroad engineer, left home,
leaving a young mother with
Harold, then 3, and his baby
brother.
Harold called the San Fran
cisco address given in the letter.
He learned that his father had
been taken to a hospital follow
ing his second heart attack in
two months.
The hospital said he could not
talk with his father. The ex
citement might be too much.
Harold said he plans a reunion
with his father If he recovers.
"There are so many things I
want to learn," he said.
Chief question in his mind is
By telephone Geddes learned
his father had remarried and
had three children. He had
worked as a waterfront guard.
Harold said his brother still
was "pretty sore" about his
father deserting the family.
"But after all,". George said
"He is my father and he had
enough feeling for us to make
quite a search. Maybe he had
a reason for leaving."
But death may keep him from
learning the secret of his
father's disappearance.

That was precisely the mean'
ing. No two people see exactly
the same one. Each observer
must be content with his own
rainbow and forego the pleasure
of viewing the solid sheet of ex
quisite prismatic colors that
covers a large section of the
heavens.
Two bows are sometimes seen
when the display is unusually
brilliant. The primary bow has
the violet on the inside and on
through the blue, green, yellow
and orange to red on the out
side. The secondary bow ap
pears at some distance outside
the arc of the primary, is dim
mer and has the colors reversed
with the violet on the outside.
Inside the primary there occa
sionally appear narrow bands of
color, principally red and green,
known as supernumerary bows.
These are interference effects.
When sunlight is passed
through a glass prism, it is brok
en up into the various rainbow
colors due to refraction and dis
persion. The falling raindrops
opposite in direction from the
sun act in the same way, then
reflect the light back to us. Any
high school physics text ex
plains this.
The center of a rainbow, the
point to which one end of an
imaginary string might be fast
ened while the other swings out
the arcs as with colored crayons,
is directly opposite the sun for
the observer. The observer's
back must be turned on the sun.
The outside of the primary bow
is a curve everywhere 42 de
grees from this sun-opposite
center; the outside of the secon
dary, 54 degrees. If the sun is
on the western horizon, the bow-
center is on the eastern horizon
and the bow appears as only a
half-circle.
Where is the rainbow? As far
away as the falling drops that
produce it. It may be nearer
than a hill or beyond it. The
larger the drops, the narrower
and brighter the bow. Thunder
storms produce the largest drops
and finest rainbows.
Rains destroyed thousands of
pounds of coffee in Venezuela
this year.
