TUESDAY,
Senator Joseph's Power Bill. . .
i Stato Senator George. W. Joseph will renew at the
coming session of the legislature his effort of four years
ego to obtain' submission to vote-of the people of an
amendment authorizing the 1 stato to engage in hydro
electric power development and distribution and to levy
a tax for the purpose. It is the senator's belief that,
once developed and made available, the state-controlled
power would create its own market .and that industrial
development would increase thereby,
In setting out this latter stated premise, Senator
Joseph apparently was anticipating and endeavoring
to offset ii fact which has been variously and authorita
tively stated of late. This is that more hydro-electric
powor is now being developed in Oregon than there is
demand for. In a letter on the ' subject of the Umatilla
rapids power project to United States Senator McNary
recently, Director General Mead, of the federal reclama
tion service, said:
Your own familiarity with the local situation will enable
you to judge as to the demand, existing and potential, for these
proposed uses. I may say, however, that It is my understand-,
ing that the public utility corporations now operating in this
. region have ample reserves of power beyond any demand that
may be anticipated In .the hear future and that steam power
fnr industrial purposes is now produced very cheaply from
lumber wastes or nearby coal supplies.
' Irrigation pumping provide a seasonal load at best, and Its
development Is likely to be slow. Railway electrification would
provide an attractive load when carried out, but even the
ultimate demands of this market would renNilro. only a com
paratively small part of the total output. Eloctrlc heating under
most favorable conditions is commercially not feasible as long
as the present cheap fuel supply of the region is available.
This view was fully borno out by that of Frank
Silliman, vice-president of the Electrio bond and share
company, of New York, which controls the Pacific power
and light company, who said, after making a two weeks
tour of Oregon recently thai in his opinion substantial
new markets for power must be created before there
can be any further power development in Oregon.
In announcing his purpose to introduce his state
power development measure in the legislature, Senator
Joseph said: "I do not wish to have it beliovcd that
I am in favor of public ownership generally. But the
development oi water power, on account of its being a
perpetual resource and its distribution being simple, is
in' a class by itself and is not subject to the vicissitudes
of any other class of business."
Nevertheless, what Senator Joseph proposes is to
put the state of Oregon in business tho business of de
veloping and vending hydro-olectrio power. And it
would put the state in competition with privato con
cerns which already aro developing more power than
there is a market for. It is hard to see, under those con
ditions, how tho Joseph project, if carried through, could
,do otherwise than bring losses to tho state.
Senator Joseph has asked n number of newspapers
of the stato for criticisms and suggestions regarding
his plan. Thus far wo have-seen no responsos. This
newspaper's criticism has been set out in tho foregoing,
lis 'suggestion is, Go slow. - . -
A Survey And Its Results. -
Industrial, agricultural and general employment
prospects for 1925 aro bright in nearly all status of the
union, according to a bulletin just issued by tho United
States employment service, covering tho results of a
survey mudo by its federal-state directors. Skilled labor
everywhere will bo rather fully employed, and improve
ment over hist year is expected in tho demand for un
skilled labor. There is still sonio part-time employment
in Now England, but this is expected to bo increased to
full time by late spring. -
Farmers generally are more optimistic than they
were a year ago. In tho threo Pacific coast states, ac
cording to tho bulletin report, there will bo expansion of
agriculturo in various lines, with somo considerable in
creaso of acrcago to bo planted.
. Many states report prospects for building operations
ion a larger scale during than in 1J14. This in
jtlicates an increased demand for lumber for domestic
consumption, which is, of course, a favorable indication
ifor Oregon. On tho building outlook in Oregon the
bulletin says:
It la predicted that building construction will bo greater
In 1925 than In 1024 and that building craftsmen will hav'o in
creased opportunities for employment, llowovor, there will bo
sufficient mocliHiiics within tho stato to take care of the demands.
And on tho subject of tho farming outlook for Orc
igon, thcro is this:
Many fnrmers in Oregon are departing from general farm
ing, undertaking tho cultivation of special cropa for which thoro
Is a ready market and to which tho soil ami cllimilo of the '
.state aro peculiarly adapted, audi as walnuts, celery, and other
products. Fall wheat planting iierengo Increased S per cent
over that of last year, and it is figured that tho spring planting
'of wheat and most othor Vrops wilt bear at leant the snintt
proportionate incrcuso.
"Willi tho appearance of every new report on con
ditions over thu country, evidence multiplies that the
outlook is for n good year. Hero at home ono hears now
and then a note of pessimism. There is no occasion for
it in conditions generally. They justify confidence.
Now comes the always excellent Corvnllis Gazette
Times with a demonstration of super-excellence in the
shape f n New Year's edition of five sections with a
total of 42 pages concerning the greatness and the ac
complishments of Corvallis and Benton count v. It is a
fine edition.
A contemporary, commenting upon tho large in
crease in tho numer of telephones in us0 ju. Portland,
says the Rose oily may love her flowers and her port
but most of all she loves to talk. Perhaps Portland's
love of her port leads her to the lovo of talk. It worked
that way before prohibition.

Now, considering oil that Mr. Bry

Kent Armour, Jr. waa the most

Knob day for me was crammed full
of love duties, mid the weeks and
niffhths just seemed to fly by. And
with ench minute the lmy grew
stronger and more wonderful.
Kent and I together watched every
little symptom of growth and ad
vnncemcut. If he cooed some new
way we felt sure he was trying to
sny something important or if his
tiny fists were unusually active we
declared it was some extraordinary
sign of superiority and advancement.

life and ours the first tooth, the

ami "mamma." ami the swcr loving
response of a child's clinging arms.
Kent was working hard, and though
he would Come home very tired at
night, and many times had to work
late in the evening, he was supremely
happy.
One night when he was quite late
in getting home and the boy was
safely tucked in bed, we tip-toed Into
the nursery together and stood look
ing down at him with our arms twin
ed around each other.
"Nothing seems hard or tiring now.
Nabs, since he came. He has drawn
all the bitterness out of life's material
struggle. Each day's work means a
blessed service for our boy and you,
dear." Kent whispered, hugging me
close to his broad shoulder.
"Yes, I know, Kent," 1 answered
hack softly. "I felt that way myself.
1 never mind doing the hundreds of
little taks that each day brings, be
cause 1 love any work that Is for lit
tle Kent, and for you."
"And they are lint just little tasks,
