POWER PLANT TO BE HI THE DEPOT In our last Issue we stated that it was the intention of the Henpner Light & Water Co. in the rebuidng of their plant to construct new build ings on the present site, and that they had purchased additional space for this purpose. In conversation with Mr. Pruyn, the manager of the Company at Heppner, this week, he informs us that they were not able to get the property they needed adjoining the present plant, and in consequence have decided to put up the power plant on grounds near the dopot. As had been stated to us by Mr. Gates when on a visit to Heppner some time ago, it was a matter not easy to settle as between the two sites, as they hoth presented their strong points. The fact of not being able to get the neoessary land on which to put up additional buildings required has finally settled the proposition in favor of the depot grounds. The pumping will be done from the wells now in use by means of motors, t lie power of which will bo transmitted from the station nt the depot. In locating at the depot, the Com pauy will be in much bettet position to handle the fuel proposition. On the other hand, in removing its build ings from the present Bite, a menace to the city will be taken away. Should ever a flood of any consequence come down Stansbury canyon, the buildings of the Light & Water Company would be right. in its line ami so situated as to f 01 111 a bulkhead for the flood waters and cause thwin to bank up and break lose with terrible fury on the town lyinjj below. This danger will now be removed nd give free jouree to flood waters coming down that way.

Is The United States Using Up Its Working Capital? This question was recently raised by one of the world's greatest economists. Assuredly he has much o support his contention. Apparently, if we reason from the familiar facts of daily exist ence, America is using up its working capital. We are spending instead of saving We mast soon come to the day of reckoning, and the cost of reokouing will be heavy. The nation must pay In years of privation and pinching sordid economy for its viola tion of the sound rules of private and public economy. But th r i is something to be said on both sides. This Btaitling subject is discussed with the utmost frankness by Edward Sherwood Mead, the financial expert, in the August number of Lip pincott'a. It is a subject of vital Im portance not only to all financiers, but to every one who has even a small amount of money Invested or to invest. "We are accustomed to jegard the future of the United States as a future of assured and increasing prosperity, prosperity in which even tho humblest immigrant laborer will each year have a larger share," savs Dr. Mead. "To be plainly told that we, as a nation, havo been Violating the rules of busi ness conduct, observance of which alone will insure our future prosperity, is to receive an unpleasant shock. "Are these gloomy prognostications founded on fact, or do they represent merely a flight of scientific fancy, rising far above the ground into the thin air of speculation and hazardous conjuncture? "As soon as attention is lirected to our problem, a number of facts of soperfioial observation tending strong ly to support this conclusion im mediately emerges. Every one Is familiar with the vast increfse in rersotial expenditure during the last decade. It is a poor home which has no sanitary plumbing, or which is sitll half heated by stoves, bo it in the ccrantry or in the city. Even a tremble mechanic expects these con veniences in his tweuty-dollar-a-moflVh bnuBe. Turkish rts have taken t place of ingrain end rag narpete. Clothes are now wade to measure, and people, especially women, have more clothes than ever before. Meo, to, are more careSrl of their tieMcnal aupearance Tdey patroniae ae haberdasher and the tailor, tho barber and the bootbSoofc, to an extent which their fathera would not have vetwted, and which theii grandfathers wwuld havo condemned as wasteful extrava gance The "eervnnt problem" did not become a problem until the m:ddle class, upper ud lower, began to&eep domestic servants. The expeoditure upon food is far greater than former ly, when an It could be weli! fed at a total cost of f 1.50 per week for raw material c ul fuel. Today not only have the prices of food etuffs advanced, but a large number of ex pensive nflveitiiwa, which quickly be come regarded e necessities, arccach year being introduced. "The automobile is no longer son sidered a luxury ;for the man ct &'O00 incomn.
