j >•». and the Willamette Valley is today
able to offer manufacturers electrical
energy for less than power o f any sort
now costs them in the East, according
to Elmer Dover, of Tacoma, president
of the Oregon Power company, and di
rector in the H. M. Byllesby company,
o f Chicago, who has just returned from
a three months’ trip in the East and in
California. He declares manufactur
ers have set 7,000,000 as the popula
tion the eight Pacific Coast states must
have before virtually everything used
on the Coast can be manufactured here
cheaper than to be shipped across the
continent.
He declares that the move taken by
the promotion department o f the Eu-
gene Commercial dub to substitute a
factory campaign and use the $7000
promotion fund toward bringing indus
tries instead o f printing gold-embossed
literature and working for people
alone, is timely.
“ While I was in the East I found
that manufacturers in general are look
ing forward to the Pacific Coast mar
ket,” said Mr. Dover.
“ A factor to favor the Willamette
valley is that any Eastern manufac
turer will find his rates for [tower
cheaper when he moves his plant to ,
the Pacific Coast.
The Willamette
valley, the entire Pacific ( ’oast, in
fact, can sell and is selling power
cheaper than it can be had anywhere
else in the United States. It can un

While sentiment as expressed was
overwhelmingly in favor of the change,
a concerted opposition was evidenced
by a number o f the growers and during
the discussions several warm tilts oc-
eurred.
“ Does look rar’,” agreed the fore
man.
“ Then take it out and build a fire
under it. I’ll consent to eat here, but I
won’t turn cannibal, even to please
you.”
“ I’m sorry.” Stover did uot inter
rupt his carving.
“ Your diet, ain’t been right,” ex
plained Willie. “ You ain’t wild enough
to suit us.”
“ Is this a joke?”
“ We ain’t never Joked with you yit,
have we?”
“ No. But— ”
“ This breakfast goes as she lays!”
Glass broke abruptly into smothered
merriment. “ When i laugh nowadays
it’s a funny joke.” he giggled.
That grown men could be so stupid
was unbelievable, and Wally, seeing
himself tho object of a senseless
prank, was roused to anger.
“ Lawrence, get my coat,’’ said he.
“ I’ve been bullied enough; I ’m going
up to the house.” When Stover only
continued whittling me.hodlcally, he
burst out: „’¿Stop honing that shin
bone! If you like it you can eat it!
I’m going now to swallow a stack of
hot cakes with maple syrup!”
“ Mr. Speed,” W illie impaled him
with a steady glare, “ you’ll eat what
we tell you *to, and nothin' else! If
we say grass,’ grass it’ll be. You’re
goin’ to beat one Skinner if it takes
a human life. And if that life hap
pens to be yours, you got nobody but

“ Indeed!”
“ You heard me! I ’ve been set to

double-crossed once— it won’t happen
again.”
“ You intend to make me eat this
disgusting stuff, whether I want to or
not?” Even yet the youth could not
convince himself that this was other
than a joke.
"No.” W illie shook his head. “ We
just aim to make you want to eat It.”
Then Larry Glass made his fatal
mistake.
“ Say, why don’t you let Mr. Speed
buy you a new phonograph, and call
the race off?” he inquired.
%
Stover, stricken dumb, paused, knife
in hand; W illie stared as if bereft of
motion. Then the former spoke slow
ly. "Looks like we’d ought to smoke
up this fat party, W ill.”
Willie nodded, and Glass realized
that the little man’s steel-blue eyes
were riveted balefully ,upon him.
“ I’ve had a hunch it would come to
that,” the near-sighted one replied.
“ Every time I look at him
I see a
bleedin’ bullet hole in his abominable
region, about here.” He laid a finger
upon his stomach, and Glass felt a
darting pain at precisely the same
spot.
“ That’s where you hit the gambler
at Ogden,” he heard Stover say— It
might have been from a great distance
— “ but I aim for the bridge of the
nose.”
“ The belly ain’t so sudden as the
eye-socket, but it’s more lingerin,’
and a heap painfuller,” explained the
gun man, and Speed was moved to
sympathy.
“ Larry only wanted to please you—
eh, Larry?” he said, nervously, but
“ Oh, you fellows take It too Mii*
ously,” Fresno offered carelessly. “ He
might have to.”
W illie’s upper lip drew back, show
ing his yellow teeth.
“ They don’t sell no railroad tickets
before Saturday, and the walkin' is
bad. There’s your breakfast, Mr.
Speed. When you’ve et your fill, you
better rest. And don’t talk to thorn
ladies, neither; it spoile your train of

felt agonizing regret that he

Even if he made a clean breast of the
whole affair to Jean, or to her brother
when he arrived, what good would that
do? De doubted Jack’s ability to save
him, in tho light of what had just
passed; for men like W illie cared
nothing for the orders of the person
whose pay roll they chanced to grace.
And Willie was not alone, either; the
rest of the crew were equally des
perate. What heed would these no
mads pay to Jack Chapin’s commands,

There were still, however, two days
