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

If enacted into law will accomplish
these blessings. It offers opportun

The bum fire alarm Sunday morn
ing came near making T. J. Humph
reys a fit subject for the under
taker. 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.

Campbell's American Band is one of the high class musical organizations of the Coast. They furnished music

one of the best soprano soloists in the West. Mr. Whipp has appeared before Morrow County people at
former Fairs and needs no introduction here. The music this year will be better than ever before.
