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. Ho con buy, on time, for
ffjOO or 6(i0. a our that is very 8od,
even compared wiith the high prised
machine; and thousands of these cars
are beirg booght eacb mouth. Im
mediately the owner's expenses in
crease. Tires, toi, gasoline,' oil aid
aeneral repairs, besides interest acd
nopieciaticn, represent a large montfa
ly outlay.
"So we could go Su-Jefinitely : char-i

CHILDREN'S EXHIBIT

The Fair Board desire to make the
children's exhibit one of the 'leading
features of the County fair this fall.
Children who have been doing garden
ing, poultry raising, or mechanical
work are nrgod to get ready to place
something on exhibition. There is
time yet for mechanical work, fruit
canning, jelly making, baking, sewing
and similar lines. The roles govern
ing the exhibits at the State Fair, as
far aB applicable, will govern the ex
hibits; but owing to the shortoess of
time, it may be necessary to make a
liberal construction of some of the
rules. I have plenty of the State
Fair booklets for distribution and tbey
may be of advantage to those contem
plating making entries. We Dope
every boy and every girl who can do so
will make an effort to get something
