SUBSCRIPTION RATES Three months ............................ $0.50 Jix months .................................. $1.00 One year ..................................... $2.00 A SPARK FOR INDUSTRY Things are happening that are to affect the Mid-Columbia. Not only were the lowest power rates in America recently announced, to be generated at the Bonneville Dam, but the Federal Power Commission early this week announced that these low rates were too high. Will it “ever amount to anything?" Let the ultra-conservative be ignored, the reac tionaries hushed up, the skeptical ones be en lightened. Things are breaking right for the Northwest. The commission engineers esti mate that power from four units may be mar keted in six years, and the chief engineer believes this quantity may be sold in less time and favors immediate installation of two units in addition to the four already authorized. What industries could be located here? Basing conclusions on intensive chemical research at the University of Washington, Dr. Henry K. Benson, director of the department of chemistry, has listed twenty-four industries whoch could profitably be operated in the Columbia Gorge area. In compiling his list. Dr. Benson said that practically all of the industries mentioned are dependent "upon the cheapness and availa bility of electric power” and thus termed "electro-chemical” industries. His report fol lows: Everyone of the twenty-four, he said, would find in this district "conditions suitable for operation" including the necessary raw mater ials, power, labor, and markets. Some of the industries mentioned already are operated on a more or less small scale. The list of industries follows: electric fur nace phosphorus, magnesium metal and alloys, synthetic alcohol, anode rubber, alumina cement, fur dyeing, special alloys, calcium carbide, synthetic urea, aluminum metal and alumina, ferrosilicon, soap, ferromanganese, nitric acid, coal tar products, copper, zinc, graphite, silicon carbide, carbide bisulphide, carbon tetrachloride, organic acids, sodium metal, lead. The basic raw materials which would be used, all of which Dr. Benson said are avail able within an economic distance are: phos phate rock, coke, sand, magnesia rock, lime stone. latex, alumina ore. furs, dyes, iron ore. chromium ore. nickel ore, aluminum ore. silica, fish oils, fats, greases, manganese ore. salt, coal tar, copper ore, zinc ore, sawdust, sulphur, chloride, carbon ibsulphide. sugar lead and chromium ores. From these raw materials. Dr. Benson nam ed the following products: phosphorus, phos phoric acid, phosphates, magnesium metal, special alloys, ethyl alcohol, rubber, early cement, dyed furs, stainless steel alloys, acetylene, urea, aluminum metal, alumina, ferrosilicon used in steel making, soaps, ferro manganese, nitric acid, sodium nitrate, ben zene, dyes, copper, zinc, graphite, silicon, car bide, carbon bisulphide, carbon tetrachloride, lactic citric, tartaric acids, sodium metals, white lead and chrome yellow. FIRST FOREST FIRE Justice was speedily carried out last week when Gilbert Kain was arrested by Forest Ranger Albert Weisendanger and fined $25 in Gresham a day or so later, charged with burning slashings in a forest region without a permit. It seems strange that citizens con tinue their carlessness in the forests in spite of warnings of the Forest Service and the hideous view of burned-over timber seen so frequently in otherwise beautiful mountain country. Perhaps the example set by Kain, will be a more potent warning to those inclined to be careless in the forests. RURAL HOUSEWIVES According to a report, recently issued by Uncle Sam’s Bureau of Home Economics, the lady of the house on the farm, works on an average of sixty-two hours a week, which is practically nine hours a day. Assuming that she gets eight hours for sleep there remains seven hours unaccounted for. Presumably she is spending this time resting to carry on for the sixty-two hours of toil. But even during the meantime, which might be rest time she usually serves the others—so where go the rest periods? She occasionally sits on the porch during the afternoon and chats with visiting neigh bors, but during this interval she is no doubt darning socks or turning collars or some other necessary tasks of a thrifty housewife. How many citizens ever saw an orderly mistress of the country household sitting doing nothing? This is one class of worker who is never puzzled over how to occupy her leisure time. She has not much time for politics or the agitation of econom c questions. She scarcely gives thought to Communist and Fascist arguments, and has no time to carry a banner in a parade. She is busy saving the sound social fabric of the country that so many others are seeking to enjoy. She forms the foundation stone of the real American home. HUNTING PUBLICITY A woman drives a car for eighty hours without stopping for sleep, in order to es tablish an endurance record. A boy erects a pole in his backyard and remains perched on top of it for days, to break a record. Still another woman claims the record for continu ous rocking in a porch rocking chair. So the rage for doing curious things goes merrily on, just to set a record. The one purpose behind it all is undoubtedly to secure publicity as the ones trying for endurance records seem tar more interested in seeing their names in the papers than interest in the stunt itself. Just why a sane person should want such publi city is more than most of us can understand but they continue to dust our pages with their various accomplishments, and probably will continue to act until the newspapers quit printing anything about the stunts. This will put a stop to them for they thrive on the publicity in connection with them. What good is a brand new radio if most of the jokes that come in over it were the ones you heard in boyhood days? Still another good thing to remember is that it pays to advertise—unless you are looking for trouble. Maybe you never noticed it. but occasion ally even the wisest owl hoots at the wrong time. CUCKOO! How much less complex life would be For men if sweethearts would agree To pattern their deportment on That of the bird who all day long Lives self-effacingly behind The cuckoo clock. She doesn’t mind That dull and dark obscurity; She functions with efficiency. When she’ s needed—out she pops! When she’s de trop—back she hops! This little bird is oh so good! Her tiny heart is made of wood, And that’s a great advantage too. Since wooden hearts don’t go askew. She never asks a single thing; She never wants to try her wing; She never says a single word Except the “ cuckoo” that is heard Exactly when her hour has struck. Oh, wouldn’t men folks be in luck If sweethearts could be trained to do Just like the nonchalant cuckoo? But even cuckoo clocks should be Wound with regularity. Girls and cuckoos are not bound To do their stuff unless they’re wound. Heart strings and clock springs come uncoiled Unless occasionally they’re oiled. So if your girl won’t say “ tick tock” P’raps you forgot to wind the clock ! —Natalie Gardner Land Transactions Mortgages were three-up on deeds in recordings in Hood River County between May 18 and May 25.
