Columbia Now
Second in Power
Portland, Ore., Feb. 10 VP)
The federal power system on the
Columbia river became the sec
ond largest producer of electri'
city in the United States in
1949.
Paul J. Raver, director of the
Bonneville power system, said
in his annual report that the Co
lumbia river network is now ex.
cceded in production only by the
Tennessee valley authority.
The report to Secretary of the
Interior Oscar L. Chapman add
ed that the Bonneville system
was in excellent condition at the
end of the 1948-49 fiscal year.
Raver reported that record
sales of electric energy were
piled up during the year. Rec
ords were also established in
revenue and the construction of
transmission facilities.
Raver noted that power dams
under construction will bring
"some relief" from the region's
power shortage by 1952. He ex
plained that additional water
storage at upstream dams would
make more electric energy
available at plants now in pro
duction. The report said power needs
in the Pacific northwest had in
creased "three-fold" in the last
eight years. Some 22 billion
kilowatt-hours of power were
consumed in 1948 compared with
less than seven billion in 1940.
It was estimated that 47 billion
kilowatts will be needed to
meet the demand in 1958.

The recipient of the communi
cation is asked to visit the im
prisoned person so arrangements
can be made to recover the
money. Once recovered the
sucker" in the deal is to be
awarded with a third of the
currency.
The writer of the letter ex
plains that he is able to com
municate with the outside be
cause he is conducting an edu
cational course in the prison and
has easy access to the mails.

Felton Talks to
Credit Men
District Court Judge Joseph
B. Felton called upon members
of the Salem Credit association
Friday to rededicate themselves
to the principles upon which
America was founded to com
bat the threat of communism.
Outlining the development of
the Declaration of Independence
and the constitution, Judge Fel
ton compared the American sys
tem of government to totalitar
ian systems and then pointed out
that a nation is in danger only
when the principles were for
gotten. He told the noon meeting of
the association that communism
repealed the progress made by
legal systems of other nations
and reinstalled systems which
proved fallacious centuries ago.
Oregon Mint Crop
To Equal Last Years
Corvallis, Feb. 10 VP) Ore
gon's mint crop may be as big
this year as it was last, Marion
D. Thomas, Oregon Stale col
lege farm extension economist,
told mint growers here today.
He said that given favorable
weather chances were good for
Oregon to maintain its com
manding position as the coun
try's greatest mint producer.
Last year the state's output was
about 40 percent of the nation's
total.
The market outlook is not
too favorable, he said, but pro
duction of oil probably will be
a good bet for the majority of
growers.
Nearly 300 growers attended
the meeting an unexpectedly
large number. The possibility
of organizing a growers' asso
ciation was to be taken up this
afternoon.
New York May Try

Six Youths Held
On Criminal Charges
Denham, Mass., Feb. 10 VP)
Six teen-aged boys were held for
the grand jury today in bail to
taling $126,000 on charges of as
saults, including attempted rape,
on girls and young women and
theft of automobiles for use in
an alleged campaign of depreda
tion. The sextet, ranging in age
from 15 to 17, were rounded up
last night after the kidnaping of
a police sergeant's daughter who
fought off her attackers.

pected to bring numerous- addi
tional charges against the boys.
Flea Blamed for Rash
Itching Californians
Chicago, Feb. 10 VP) The flea
was blamed today for a mys
terious skin rash affecting Cali
fornians. Dr. C. J. Lunsford, Oakland,
Calif., dermatologist, said the
disease was most prevalent in
the San Francisco area and re
ported in some Los Angeles
suburbs and in the San Diego
area.
The rash is caused by an al
lergy to a substance transmitted
by the flea bite, Dr. Lunsford
said in the archives of -dermatology
and syphilology.
Most persons affected are
children or persons newly ar
rived in thhe state who have
not yet built up an immunity,
he said.

Southern Areas
Flood waters menaced areas in
middle Tennessee and Louisiana
today.
Most of the country had fair
weather and temperatures gen
erally continued above normal.
Some 500 persons in the
Nashville area were made home
less by flood waters of the Cum
berland river. The river was
near 48 feet, eight feet above
flood stage, at Nashville and
slowly rising. The Red Cross
prepared to evacuate additional
families from their lowland
homes. Light rain fell in the
Nashville area today.
Brig. Gen. Peter A. Fcringa,
president of the Mississippi river
commission, ordered opening of
the Bonnet Carre spillway above
New Orleans to protect the city
from the surging Mississippi
river. His action followed fore
casts that the big river would
rise above the 20-foot danger
level. Opening of the spillway
will cause the water to bypass
new Orleans. It previously was
opened in 1937 and 1945.
Light rain fell today from
the central gulf states northeast
ward to the middle Atlantic
states and in most of California.
Some snow was reported in the
northern Rockies and near the
Canadian border in Minnesota.
The only sub-zero weather was
in the northern Rockies. But
some colder air was moving into
Minnesota and North Dakota
from northern Canada.
