Phono Main 81, - Mr. John D. Ryan president of the Montana Power Company testified before the Public land committee of the United States senate during the hearines on the Fer ris bill, that "the payment of federal taxes is not vital to the investors m water. power securities so long as that tax can oe passed on to the consumer." It is not only the tax such investors pass on to the consumer, but with it they pass all other bills and then want an unhcly profit ior letting tne people nave the use ot their own property, "Let Ima come home :" a little storv in Monday's Capi tal Journal written by Ella McMunn, is commended to the authorities in charge of the Girls' Industrial school, not only as a pathetic bit of writing splendidly worded, but in the hope that it was not written in vain, and that the hearts of "Rose" and "Tom" may be cheered and made happy at the glad Christmas time. Why . not. as Miss McMunn says, "give Ima as God would, another chance?" WATER POWERS, WHO SHALL OWN THEM? 1 ' The Oregon Voter prints and commends an address made somewhere, it does not state the place, on the sub ject of the development of western water powers and the difficulties the big companies meet with in getting posses sion of water rights on government lands. The argument is a strong one from the capitalistic side, but as Mr. Mitchell is pres'dent of the Electric Bond & Share Com pany of New York City, and his and his company's prin cipal business is. getting capitalists to invest in water power development, it would seem that he looks upon all laws Keeping any rights to the waters of the country in tne nanas ot the people much as a coyote does on a wire fence that shuts him away from the fat lambs on the other side of it. Nature has placed a vast reservoir high above the valley in the Cascade mountains which will furnish mil lions of horse power when controlled The question is shall this vast power worth a billion or more dollars be turned over to those who want to develop and own it, or shall it be kept for the people to control at least' or to develop for their own use? True, the water running down the mountains uncon trolled is of no, value and can only be conserved by being . used, yet is it of not as much value to the people while . running to waste as it is turned over to a company which will sell it back to the people at more than it is worth? In other words is it worth while to sacrifice the water rights in order to let some company charge us as much for the power as it would if it had to create the same power by the use of fuel and steam? This is what these development companies want, if they can get it, and Mr. Mitchell would sacrifice every right of the people of Ore gon and the coast in order to facilitate his business of getting a snug rake off for putting big companies in possession of property now belong'ng to all the people. ' The Oregon woolgrower has had his eyes opened to the truth by only two years of practical list of "free wool." He used to howl for a high tariff in season and out of season and was sure he was ruined when the Underwood ' law went into effect, but instead has had the most pros perous period in a whole generation. This fact is what opened the woolgrowers' eyes.'and at their convention at Pendleton last week the usual high tariff plank was missing. Instead a demand was made for laws against! Suoreme Court Sav$ It is queer how things twist around. The Panama building at the exposition was closed durine-the entire fair, because the little republic had made no appropria tion for keeping it open. So the country which in a sense was the cause of .the great exposition was about the only one that took no part in it. Speaking of luck what do you think of a fellow who be cause he had only one arm to hold up when tackled by bandits was shot and killed? That is what happened to Michael McCarthy of St. Louis Sunday night. The suffragists are game and though thev lost half a mile of petition containing 100,000 names they paraded just as numerously and gaily as though a little thing like that was of no moment.

(: THIS FREES YOUR SKIN He tKUW HAIR OR FUZZ ft Better Cake and Biscuits In all receipts calling for baking powder, use Royal Baking Powder. Better and finer food will be the result, and you will 8afeguard it against a possible dangerous compound. J.ook out for adulterated bak ing powders. Do not permit them to come into your house under any consideration. They may add an injurious substance to your food, destroying in part its digesti bility. Doctors will tell you this and it is unquestionable. - Housewives are sometimes lad ito use inferior baking powders because of deceptive foaming or boiling tests or apparent lower cost, but there is very little difference in practical use about one cent for a whole cak9 or pan of biscuits a mere trifle when you consider the vast dif ference in healthfulness in favor of food made with Royal Baking Powder.
