There are two principal, prospective mar­
kets for Bonneville power.
O ne is made up of buyers, public and pri­
vate, who will resell it, passing on rate sav­
ings. T hey are interested primarily in power
policy, must have long-time contracts before
acquiring distribution systems or revising ex­
isting rate schedules.
T h e other is composed of big industrial
users, who require very cheap power, first,
and guaranteed supply, second, before plant
investments will be made.
It is obvious and basic, therefore, that Bon­
neville rates must not be just low, but the
powest possible. Bonneville contracts must
be for long periods, like T V A s . Certainly
they must be fore more than the five years
indicated in disturbing, and perhaps garbled,
W ashington dispatches.
If these two requirements aren’t met, now,
Bonneville development will be delayed fully
five years.
T h at, considering the Pacific
Northwest’s needs and high hopes, would be
stupid waste.

of garments bought at an especially low figure.
It will be mingled with more costly power and
a sale price will be struck that will compensate
for both.
A lot of very unreasonable expectations as
to household current at nominal cost or next
to nothing are bound to be dispelled in time.
W hereupon it may be wished that more em­
phasis had been placed on attracting new in­
dustries and less on widespread distribution
and penny savings to the individual.

It seems that one of the hardest things a
car owner has to learn when he first starts in
is what the horn is for. In fact, so many of
them throughout the country never have
learned that laws have had to be passed to
guide them. Observe the careful motorist and
you will note that he seldom finds it necessary
to resort to his horn. He doesn’t glide easily
up to a pedestrian crossing a street and then
suddenly issue a loud blast on his horn. N or
does he, in passing the car ahead of him rend
the air with loud and unnecessarily long
blasts. H e uses the horn, as it was intended
to be used, for the purpose of giving signals,
and then only when they are absolutely
needed. T h e horn is subject to more abuse
than any other part of the auto, when in fact
it should be the least part of it to be resorted
to. T h ere’s a right and a wrong way to use
it, the same as there is to anything else. And
it is hoped, for the nerves of the community,
at least, that this year’s crop of new drivers
learn that early.
But a few years have elapsed, as all citizens
given to reading new books and new maga­
zines recall, since Uncle Sam had to go
through his mail bags and cleared out tons of
filthy reading matter that was being distribut­
ed through the mails under the title of "con ­
fession magazines" and suggestive booklets
and novels. He did a good job and put many
of them out of business. Others, however,
turned to express instead of mail facilities and
are still being issued. Now it looks like the
same thing will be necessary in the case of
the all-picture magazines, new ones of which
are springing up almost weekly. O ne got a
little bold, and got by with it, and then another
got a little bolder, still another more daring
followed it until the limit now seems to have
been reached. No one will be anything out
of pocket except the publishers if they are
wiped out, and most of them will escape loss
since they always figure that in the first few
issues— before the public becomes thoroughly
disgusted. And one wonders in what form
the next brand of filth will be marketed.
T he published rate plan for Bonneville
power submitted by Administrator Ross in­
cluded a tariff of 2.88 cents per kilowatt day
for surplus power on * transmission systems
and 2.4 cents per kilowatt day for surplus
power at the dam site.

SPRING MEANS LOVE
IN ANY LAND
<By Blaine Freer)
In the Spring when birds fly North,
And Ireland’s fields are green,
They say “you kiss the blarney
stone,"
I ’ll kiss me swate colleen.
In Scotland when the heather blooms
And paints the country side,
The lads and lassies walk along
The bonnie banks of Clyde.
In Norway when the snows are gone
The air is filled with joy,
And everywhere you go you see
A happy girl and boy.
Der Chermans dey forget dere beer
Und valk mit dere fraulein
But ven dere summertime she come
Dey go back to dere stein.

Portland’s metropolitan area, in­

Eugene was second with 7 per cent
