PAGE SIX HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1928. (Continued 'rom Past 1) turers, ranchers and profesaional men as artisans and laborers. This membership has neither desire nor purpose to stifle the orderly develop ment of the state. Their property interests in Oregon are too consid erable to permit of such a policy. But they, and we as their spokes man, strongly feel that the public resources of the state of Oregon be long to Oregon, where they should be keDt and developed for the bene fit of Oregon. The measures In volved were precipitated by an at tempt of California power interests (blocked in plans to exploit the low er Klamath river in California by a similar initiative measure over whelmingly voted by the citizens of that state) to now appropriate our own Rogue river for the primary purpose of obtaining cheap elec trical energy. For what? To take Into California, for sale in Califor nia, and for the development In California of industries requiring low-cost electrical power. The five high dams planned for Rogue river construction will, beyond question ruin for all time the recreational value of this great stream, as well as its commercial fishing, and should never be permitted until re quired for Oregon industries. The rental paid the state for the use of state-owned waters in power devel opment is ridiculously small, and any potential loss thereof is offset many times over by tourist revenue and returns from the salmon indus try. It is not sought by these measures to for all time withdraw these wa ters from appropriation. Had that been the purpose, the measures would have been proposed as con stitutional amendments; not as leg islative acts, and as such, capable of amendment in proper circum stances at any session of the legis lative assembly. The state of Oregon, aa shown by recent Federal survey, has a poten tial and undeveloped hydro-electric energy in measured horsepower of approximately one-half of the total developed electrical horsepower of the entire United States. 5,900,000 potential and undeveloped power lies in Oregon streams and water courses. The total power now de veloped in the entire United States (including Oregon) is but 12,296,000, as of January 1, 1928. Out of our abundance, some streams may sure ly be spared for public use. The fact is that power is being develop ed in Oregon steam turbine plants today at a less cost per horse power than in any of our hydro-electric projects. It is claimed by power company officials that the electrical energy now developed in the state by existing plants is sufficient for a long time to come. The problem to day of the numerous chambers of commerce and land settlement or ganizations of our state is not the irrigation of more land, but one of finding settlers for what we have. When the time comes that the in terests of the state at large will be best served by restoration to ap propriation for further irrigation or power development of some part of the waters by these bills sought to be reserved, organized sportsmen will be the first to ask for and con sent to such restoration. Pending that time, and to the end that the whole of our greatest capital asset may not be forever given away to private ownership for purposes of private gain, and that our visitors and our posterity may enjoy some measure of the wonderful recrea tional opportunities that have been ours, we urge an affirmative vote upon these measures. That these measures will be bit terly opposed by selfish and grasp ing power groups and public util ities is certain. They have much at stake in the way of personal and private gain. They will make much of the bugaboo of ' hindered prog ress." They have too long been parties of privilege not to keenly resent any interference with their rights to help themselves to what ever they want, wherever they want it, and without the consent of any representative of the public. The state engineer can now deny their applications only where the project is shown to be in conflict "with de termined rights, or is a menace to the safety and welfare of the pub lic." The methods of propaganda of these interests, and the measure of their domination of the press of the country is now a national scan dal, and the subject of an investiga tion by the congress of the United lata teg. It is therefore of interest to note in the editorial column of a recent issue of one of their leading publi cations (The Electrical World) that "Ardent conservationists as well as some others who espouse the cause of natural resource development be cause they think it popular, have a distorted sense of the value of wa ter power. Here are millions of horse-power running to waste, they reason, which someone, if not private enterprise, then the govern ment, ought to harness for the sake of humanity. What they do not comprehend because of lack of ex perience is that humanity will be better served by permitting these water-power sites to remain scenery. In July or August this year. The hog outlook for 1929 is considered quite favorable. Cattle markets continued firm although advances in finished kinds were offset by de clines In grass grades. This is a seasonal trend that some close ob servers believe will be less marked than usual so far as grass cattle are concerned. Stocks of frozen beef on July 1 were 17,288,000 pounds against 23,261,000 a year earlier and 31,025,000 pounds the 5-year aver age on July 1. Stocks of all meats, however, were 5 per cent heavier than a year ago because of heavy stocks of pork and some increase in lamb and mutton. Frozen lamb and mutton totaled 2,163,000 pounds compared to 1,360,000 last year and five-year average of 2,248,000 pounds on July 1. Luola Benge Among 500 at Summer School VACCINE STOPS SERIOUS ILLS. The vaccine for hemorrhagic sep ticemia of sheep and catlte, which is prepared by the department of bacteriology, is reported to be 100 per cent efficient where the disease is properly diagnosed. Living cul tures which are weakened are sent out from the department at request Time is important in the injection of the vaccine which is not effective if used later than two weeks after preparation is made. In sections where the disease Is bad it is recommended that stock be vaccinated each spring as a pre ventative measure. Two cubic cen timeters is the average dose that is recommended but in case of cows where symptoms are showing a five cubic centimeter dose may be used, as shown on the graduated syringe used. A new method of controlling body lice on chickens has proved effec tive in trials at the Oregon experi ment station. Full strength liquid nicotine sulfate is applied with an oil can as a thin strip along the top of foosts just before evening. The strong gas kills both lice and nits during the night This method was demonstrated at the recent conven tion of Oregon poultrymen and found cheaper and easier than the standard sodium flouride method. The western 12 spotted cucumber beetle which attacks such flowers as asters, chrysanthemums, dahlias and roses may be controlled by ap plications of lead arsenate spray or a nicotine sulfate dust, says the entomologist of the Oregon experi ment station. Sprays are made up of 3 teaspoonfuls of arsenate pow der and 1 gallon of water. Nicotine sulfate 1-4 pound, and hydrated lime 4 3-4 pounds are constituents of the nicotine dust University of Oregon, July 26. What is considered the most suc cessful summer school in the his tory of the University of Oregon was attended this summer by Luola Benge of Heppner, a major in Eng lish. The total enrollment was over five hundred. Together with other students she has attended classes conducted by educators from leading institutions in the country, and has mixed with students from all parts of the coun try, many of them, educators from Middle Western ' states here to spend their vacations in study and enjoyment of Oregon's outdoors. In addition to the exceptional scholastic advantages offered by summer school, many social and en tertainment features were arranged for this year's session. Under the direction of Marion McClain, the summer session students were tak en on many interesting outdoor trips into the scenic regions about Eugene, and were accompanied on several of these trips by members of the Eugene Outdoor club. Once a week the summer school students gathered at an informal party, held at the Woman's build ing or outdoors on the tennis courts. ,A "social swim" held once each week also proved very popular, es pecially on warm evenings. The Eugene campus is at its best in the summer time, and much of the studying is done outside on the green lawns under the firs and oaks. A number of plays were presented by the summer classes in dramatics under the direction of Lloyd J. Reynolds. Increasing attendance and inter est in the university summer ses sion promises to keep the Eugene campus active all the year around. In addition to the regular summer period, a post session is being add ed, and the two vritually compose a fourth quarter. ascertain which organization Is do ing the collecting before contribut ing to the same." NEW OREGON ROAD MAP OUT. A new editoin of the popular Ore gon road and Information map fold er has just been received at the of fice of the district forester, Port land, Oregon. The map shows main paved and gravel roads in red. Trunk high ways, other automobile roads and secondary roads are also indicated. National forests are shown In green while recreation centers are located by means of red circles and num bered references to the printed des cription. The text on the reverse of the map gives brief descriptions of the principal recreation features on each of the fourteen national for ests in the state. A list of city and roadside automobile camp grounds is also included. There are several attractive forest photographs, a brief statement of national forest policy and purpose and some sug gestions for forest travelers aa to care with fire. Copies of the map may be ob tained from the district library in the New Post Office Building, Portland, or from any of the four teen forest supervisors In the state. The forest service makes no charge for these maps, simply requesting cooperation from the map users in educating the public to leave a clean camp and a dead fire. THINKING OUT LOUD By SAMALMAN Young men in Rome have been forbidden from serenading girls at windows or balconies. This edict will probably be best appreciated by Italian music lovers.

The born optimist is the man with a cigar lighter who turns down the offer of a big box or maicnes. Those Illinois orlsonera who made a dash for liberty on the Fourth of July seem to have carried patriot ism a bit too far! A Cleveland judge recommends that pugilists be hired to administer punishment to husbands who beat their wives. The offending husband would be required to go a certain number of rounds with the pugilist The only trouble with this sugges tion, some believe, is tnat a modern man who can beat his wife oughtn't to have much trouble cleaning up a professional pugilist!

The following letter has been re ceived by this paper from Brigadier AlDert E. Baynton, of the Salvation Army, with the request that the information contained therein be published: "We are receiving complaints from various officers of the Salva tion Army throughout Southern Idaho and Eastern Oregon, to the effect that parties, claiming to be the Samaritan Army, with head quarters in Chicago, have been so liciting funds in the name of the organization The public seems to be confusing this said organization with the Salvation Army.

The unusual seasonal decline In lamb prices reaches the low point the latter part of July. Hog mar kets reached a new top for the year of $11.00 at Chicago, then reacted downward.
