THE VERNONIA EAGLE PAGE TWO of Portland and adjoining ter ritory more than $1,000,000 per year, was brought about first by the low rates established in other cities by municipal owned hydro electric plants. Second, public sentiment aroused demanding municipal ownership or parity rates with Tacoma and Seattle municipal owned plants. The light and power rates in Oregon are considerably higher than the rates of Tacom’s muni cipal hydro-electric plant. All honest men must be in the power business because the organized power trust persistent ly tries to make the people in Oregon pelieve that it is impos sible for the people in Oregon to secure honest men to develop and operate publicly owned pow er plants. No one except those who are interested in the power business would slur the intelligence of the people of Oregon by saying that Tine Timber Line Editor Larry Marshall Asst.

The teom was handicapped by the loss of Kirk at right half, but nevertheless put up a real battle until the final whistle. Adams of Vernonia was per haps the best back field perform er in the game, but, with his in terference not functioning he was unable to get away for a touch down. Graven, Sorlee, Christianson, and Nanson played a good game for Vernonia and Marshall was on the receiving end of some nice passes. Clatskanie has a well balanced team and although it is the first time in four years that they have won from Vernonia they are real contenders for the county championship this year.

Democratic Candidate FOR REPRESENTATIVE From Columbia County I was born in Swift county, Minnesota, in 1877, and came to Columbia county in 1902. I have been a con tinuous resident of Columbia county for twenty-eight years and am a substantial taxpayer. met ap- set No Platform of O. Henry Oleen 1 The important issue before the voters of Oregon is to conserve the natural resources of the state for its people, their Welfare and prosperity. To make sure that the power of the rivers, essential to the rights of the com mon man shall not be given away to Eas tern power monopolies for exploitation, but shall be governed and used for the largest public benefit. A power trust governor and a power •trust legislature obedient to the trust mandate would mean the loss to the people of Oregon of their priceless heri tage of water power. INDUSTRIALIZE OREGON — State de veloped hydro-electric power and provide main distributing system wherever there is a sufficient prospective demand. Ore gon with Tacoma’s low power rates would bring immense factory payrolls and provide abundance of cheap power for the home. It has already been proven by Tacoma, Seattle and Eugene during the last fif teen years that municipal development of hydro-electric power is the only practical way to get service at a reasonable cost to our homes and factories. Abolish the public service commission be cause the commission has always upheld the rates asked by the public service corpora- Miss Evelyn and Helen Peter son visited the senior class Tues day of this week. Both girls have formerly gone to Vernonia scho- ols. The students are to be given an intelligence test this week. This test is given every three or four years to determine the standing of the local high school students with that of others. The junior class rings have or- dered and they are expected to arrive in time to be called Christ- mas presents. They are being purchased from Clint W. Lee and Co., of Seattle. A. L. Kullander is handling them for the class. I' I East yearly could be saved for re-investment in Oregon by adopting Tacoma’s public own ership plan of hydro-electric pow er. State development of our wat er power resources without cost to the taxpayer would provide cheap power in abundance for industrial enterprises and domes tic use throughout the state. Such development will require the e enditure of millions of dollars in the employment of la bor and will bring to Oregon enormous perpetual factory pay rolls. I solicit joint public discussion with any registered voter in Co lumbia county on the question of private ownership versus pub lic ownership of hydro-electric power. Dates for joint discussion may be arranged by giving five days’ notice. O. Henry Oleen. O. Henry Oleen Margaret McDonald has been appointed sophomore reporter. She was freshman reporter last year and did some good work. The carnival committee Tuesday of this week. They pointed all committees and the date for the carnival as vember 7. they are not competent to do for themselves what the people of other cities and communities have done for the last 15 or 20 years. State development of Oregon’s immense potential wa ter power under the same plans and supervision, so successfully used by Tacoma and Seattle, would supply all of Oregon with abundance of light and power at the lowest possible cost. The province of Ontario, Can ada, with 67 incorporated towns and cities, never collected one cent of taxes to pay for the publicly owned light and power plants. Seattle, Tacoma, Eugene and McMinnville, all with muni cipal owned light and power plants, have never called on the taxpayer to pay for any power plants even though some of the plants have been in operation for 25 years. The millions of dollars of un earned profits that are now sent PERSONALS I I wish to apologize to Mr. Mc Entire for an article published in this column last week. Editor Marvin Porterfield, Robert Holcomb and Larry Marshall, seniors, went hunting Sunday, They didn’t bring home the ba- con though. John Kirk was unable to play in the game Saturday because of a shoulder injury received in the Scappoose game. Miss Drake and Miss Gerhing spent the week end in Portland. Nearly the entire senior class attended the game at Clatskanie Saturday. The Vernonia high school Glee club has reorganized this year. At a meeting last Friday, the following officers were elected: Florence Wall, president; Allie Simmons, secretary and treas- urer, and Joy Ball, librarian. New laboratory equipment has been installed in the high school. George Stankey made the table, lockers and shelves. New appar atus has been purchased so we now have a first class laboratory. A student body meeting was held Wednesday, October 8, at the high school. After discussing business the yell leaders were called forward and yells were practiced. Mr. Wilkerson, senior class ad viser, has sent for a play to be looked over by the class. The seniors are going to start early this year so they won’t have to rush at the end of the year. tions and never served the public except when threatened to be ousted by public sentiment. One out of every nine are now sup ported by the taxpayer and there should be a real need before any more are put on the public payroll. If elected I shall meet with the differ ent organizations of Columbia county to ascertain what legislation they deem ne cessary. When those who work for wages and the farmers are well paid all other business is prosperous. If elected I shall endeavor to give all of Columbia county real service and do my best to secure a fair representation in the legislature for Columbia county. My vote shall always be cast for the welfare and prosperity of the common people. I shall vote against any bill which in any way curtails freedom of speech or press as guaranteed by the United States constitu tion. I wish to assure the people of Columbia county that I will fulfill my campaign promises and if elected I shall furnish to the newspapers of Columbia county a complete record of my vote on all bills at the legislature. —Paid Advertisement, O.
