He announces that millions of tons couple of the children of Mr. and Mrs. Ayres who will attend school in Portland during the winter. MOKHOW COl Vl OFFICIAL TAPER Congressman Nuk Sinnott believes that water development is a pressing i.e A of i ".-.? hour. He recently made i stroiis speech in favor of the water vuer bill before congress, in the IL.iuo of liepreser.'atives, and he set forth the wonderful and practically eshaustlej-s water power of the Co lumbia river basin, which is now "bottled up" by the Government's policy of conservation. No section of the country has a greater Interest In legislaion that will promote water power development than this. Here is one third of the potential'60,000, 000 horsepower estimated to be In the United States. Millions of horsepower of "white coal" are here ercing to waste. In 111 miles of tha Deschutes river alone there could be developed 504.000 horse power al most equalling the present develop ment at Niagra, and there are 3,320, 000 horse power running to waste in Oregon alone. In the opinion of Mr. Sinnott, if this power could be util ized it would cut down the national coal bill 5144, 000,000 each year. In these times of conservation It would be well for the government to cut loose from the Pinchot policy and place this power in position to be de- eloped. Pleading for immediate action on the, bill, Mr. Sinnott said: "With our waste water power developed, we need have no concern for our fuel supply, either in oil or coal. The Al ladln's genii of exhaustless electric energy, dormant and locked up In our mountain streams and rlves, should be released to dispense light, heat and energy for mankind. Make It easier for the irrigationlsts to ob tain power and millions of acres will Epring up in farms of grain, alfalfa and other food products. This bill If enacted into law will accomplish these blessings. It offers opportun ities to municipality, state, nation or privae capital to minister to our com forts.

In fact, he believes there was a frame up between Frank Turner and M. L. Case whereby he was to be made the chief pers jnage at a first class funeral.. Hurrying to the fire in Turner's car, Humph reys prepared to make a hasty exit and reached for the door, which was not fastened, and the result was that he proceeded on out and collided with the macadam on the street in a very undignified manner. One hand was badly skinned and when he was picked up the side of his face some what resembled the rapidly chang ing war map on the Western front In Europe. Mr. Humphreys states that there is but one thing that will bring I him consolation, and that is the 'fellow who turned in that false alarm gets a stiff fine for his Job. He will have no chance to get even with Turner and Case. E. M. Shutt returned Saturday Heppner Elks Attention.
