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.

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.

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.
