Sawmills on the coast are active,

Tho railroads must rely upon tho In

Director of llrnil Public Hrrvlre
Company Conrrmeil Over Power
Houm Problem Presented by
Irrigation Development.
Gratification at tho substantial
progress made by Dend, satisfaction
with tho showing mado by his com
pany , through changing war and
post-war conditions, and concern
over what ho looks on as an eventual
complete undermining of tho com
pany's Investment In Dend through
tho various Irrigation development
programs now under consideration,
was expressed Wednesday by Kamp-
stcr U. Miller, director of the Dend
Wntort Light & Power Co. In a
statement mado to Tho Dulletln
shortly beforo leaving Dend after
a wcok's visit In tho city from head
quarters In Chicago, ho expressed a
desire to cooporato In reaching a
fair solution of tho problem.
In his statement, Mr. Miller said:
"I havo spent tho last ten days
looking over tho gonaral conditions
In Ilond and examining tho affairs
of tho Dend Water, Light & Power
company. I think tho peoplo of
Dend havo reason for gratification
at the progress tho city, has mado
during recent years. Whllo thero
has been no great Incrcaso in popu
lation, signs of substantial, improve
ment aro everywhere apparent. Tho
fact that mills and other industries
ara. Tunning full time, and that
thero Is work for all who want it
are Impressive to ono familiar with
business conditions in tho cast.
Rate Ktuyx 1av
"I am satisfied with tho showing
tbo Jlcnd 7Wutor, Light & Power
company has made, considering tho
turmoil and general upsetting of
business conditions during and fol
lowing tho war. When wo under
took tho operation of this property
about ten years ago, Mr. Drown, Mr.
Foley and I sot for oursolvcs as a
standard, tho best posslblo service
at tho lowest posslblo rates. It Is
gratifying to us to realize that we
wero not compelled to ask for an
Incrcaso of rates during or since tbo
war; nlthough prices wont up by
leaps and bounds all over tho United
States. Our rates aro probably as
low as any in tho United States,
with fow It any exceptions. This Is
In part duo to tho fact that wo de
velop our powor in tho city of Dend;
our powor plant Is In the'eenter of
our distribution system.
"I am of course somewhat con
cerned about tho situation rogardlng
our future powor supply. I find
that tho Water board has granted
water permits tor irrigation that
will in effect destroy our power
plant by taking away practically all
Its wator. It Booms to permit tho
taking n'way of our proporty piece
meal, by tho various irrigation In
terests.
Many Projects Btnrtlng;
"The North Canal company Is
about to start Impounding wator at
Crane Prairie; tho Tumalo district
Is planning storago at Crescent lake;
as soon as Its financing arrange
ments aro mado tho North Unit will,
bogln work on tho Donham Falls
reservoir. Euch ono of thoso ac
tivities will take n part of the river
flow necessary to tho operation of
our plant. Whllo wo deslro to co-
opornto In every way posslblo with
tho stato nnd tho trrlgatlonlsts In
tho final utilization of tho waters ot
tho Deschutes for tho groatest pub
lic bonollt, wo cannot ot course sub
mit to any -such undermining ot our
investment. Until tho mattor Is
stralghtonod out by making daflnlto
provision for ropnylng ub for tho
proporty which It Is proposod to
destroy It will bo impossible for us
to secure additional money tor tho
construction ot a new plant.
"Tho destruction ot this powor
plant nnd tho propor provision for
Its roplacomout is a mattor In which
tho citizens of Dend, no loss than
tho powor company, aro vitally con
cerned. Tho location of tho plant

And Farm Advocated. 1
Experts Jn various branches ot
farm work, coming In tho main from
the Oregon Agricultural college, ara
being heard by interested audiences
In Bend for tho six days covered by
the Formers' Week program. Farra
management, tho Importance of di
versification in Central Oregon, co
operation between farm and city,
stock feeding, range rehabilitation,
boys' and girls' club work, livestock
diseases, and methods of rodent con
trol were among tbo subjects de
veloped during the first thrco days
of the week. Sessions are continu
ing in the circuit court room in tha
court houso building.
Tho romance ot natural things, the
thrilling side ot farm and country
life, and the bright sidq even ot dis
ease and adversity, are to bo sensed
In the address of W. H. Lytle, who
spoke Monday afternoon. Ho did not
follow a set speech, but rather took
up the diseases of stock as they were
brought up by those who bad actual
problems in combating them.
Grub Make Trouble
Catarrh, a common disease of
sheep feeding in corrals during tha
winter. Is known In other loeallUes
as "grub In the head," which Is mora
descriptive; for the dlscaso is a lar
val growth of the sheep botfly, tha
eggs being laid In the summer and
becoming attached to the animal's
nose membrane. They grow large
during the winter, producing the ca
tarrhal Irritation.
Holes bored In logs are filled with
salt for tho sheep, and coal tar Is
spread around the bole so that the
sheep will get it on his nose, said
Lytle In describing the cure. The
tar acts as a nose balm; and is of
fecttv whether tho.trouble Is a true
catarrh or the grub described.
The cure for hoot rot, said LyUe,
Is to turn tho sheep out so that tha
rotted portion of the hoof will wear
off. Then tho diseased animal
should be run through a trough con
taining a' dip compounded ot S per
cent carbolic add, 3 per cont of for
maldehyde and 92 per cent water.
If the animal Is too lame to bo turned
out, a knife may be used in cutting
away the rotten part, beforo tho dip
ping. Goiter Cure Discovered
Goiter, occurring In human beings
as well as among sheep, cattlo and
particularly goata, in higher alti
tudes, Is most frequently caused by
lack ot mineral In tho water and
food. How a euro tor It .was discov
ered is interesting. It was noticed
that deer and othor wild animals
were not afflicted with goiter. Tho
only thing tho wild life bad which
the tame animals did not, was the
use of the salt licks far up In tha
timber.
Investigation of tha salt licks
showed that they containod a,
percentage ot iodine. Iodine was ac
cordingly painted on tho backs of
the animals, and the goiter tendency
disappeared. Iodlno was also found
to bo a euro for the disease In hu
man beings.
Poison Plunts Many
Lytle showed speclmons of wild
onion, lupine, wild parsnip, larkspur
and other poisonous plants occasion
ally found on tho rauges and In the
pastures ot Central Oregon. The
only antldoto for most ot thorn Is
potassium permanganate, tho amount
which a fifty cont piece will hold
bolng mixed In a pint ot wator ;Xor
cattlo, and all that a ten cont "pleco
will hold tor sheep, as a drench.
Tho stiff lamb trouble Is almost
entirely due to these poisons, said
Lytlo. Lupine Is a poison only whon
overripe, which occurs in a wet au
tumn, tho, seed, in the form of, a
beau, being poisonous. Thq wild on
ion, or death camas. which the, .In
