Capitalists Propose to Develop 81, 1000
!. Horse Power on the Siuiahekin
River--.To Build Electric
Roads.

A. ". Dewy Of Spnksne and his as
sociates propose to develop in Okano-
gan county $4,000 horsepower in the
Sinlahekin river. Guild 35 miles of
elec trio railroad through the county,
and establish, probably near the Con-
conully. a large smelreT.
A notice of appropriation OF water
from the Sinlahebin river has been
filed at Cunoonully. The water right
extends from q point about 10 miles
from Conoonully, for seven miles up
the stream. About 5000 oubio feet of
water are appropriated for the use OF
power.
The electricity will be used for the
lighting and supplying Of power TO
mines, the lighting of buildings.
streets, cities and villages, and the
operation of electric railway lines.

Dewey's associate Ia rhe wster pswer

river falls $50, feet mile. and has
perpendicular side walls $50 feet high.
"Ou1 first movs will be- to build
dam $50 feet high at the lower end of
the seven mile stretch. There We
will develop 5000 horse power.
When we have a market for that pow
er we will go mills further up the
liver and build another dam, coniinu-
ing go until we have seven dams, with
a mile between eacn successive dam.
We will have developed approximately
30, 900 horse power,
"We will have no trouble marketing
the power. for since we filed our notice
at Conconully. Aug. three towns
have applied for power and light, and
five mining oompanines have applied

The Ace of Lead.

We are wont to speak of this era
as the age of iron," and there is no
gainsaying that. industrially speaking.
iron is a precious metal"
Nevertheless, few people realize
how useful, if not absolutely neces-
sary, to modern civilization, is that
other metal. lead. Soft, yielding,
pliable, it is not much like it's sister
metal, but those distinguishing quail
ties are what give it such a prominent
place in the arts and industries.
Modern plumbing, requiring many
turnings and twistings, but withal
tight joints, would be almost impos-
sible without lead pipe. The great
est civilzing agent in the world-the
printing arts absolutely dependent
on lead. Hand-set type, linotype
'slugs," monotype type all are
made of compositions of which lead
is the chief component-to say moth
ing of the bearings in the presses as
well as all other kinds of machinery
in which "babbitt" metal is used.
Solder is another lead product
what a field of usefulness that one
form opens up.
Then there is the most important
use of all to which lead is put-paint,
that necessary material which keeps
our houses looking pretty - inside
and out-and preserves them from
decay.
How many of us thank metallic lead
for the comforts of paint? Yet the
best house paint is nothing but me-

powder known as white lead" OF
course, there are many limitations of
"white lead" some of which are sold
as white lead and some which are
offered by the name of ready-pre-
pared paint under the familiar pre-
tense that they are Just as good" as
white lead. But all good paint is
made of the metal, lead. corroded and
ground to fine white powder and
MIXED with linseed OIL
White lead is also used in the coat
ing of fine oil cloths and for many
purposes besides paint.
Red Lead is another product of
metallic lead and is what is known as
an oxide of lead. being produced by
burning the metal. Red lead is the
best paint known to preserve iron,
steel or tin. and is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper skeletons, mills and
bridges.
There are many other products of
the metal lead, such as litharge.
orange mineral, etc. which are es-
sential to many of the arts in which
yro paver ir1ny yipp that lead would be
of the least use.
Verify. we live in an age of lead
as well as of iron.

Chewing
Of Food
the Cause Of

If your teeth are fit, chew, chew,

insists on being swallowed.
If teeth are faulty, soften Grape
Nuts with hot milk or cream, or

There's a reason," as follows:
Grape-Nuts food is in the form
of hard and brittle granules,
intended to be ground up by the
teeth; that work not only preserves
the teeth but brings down the saliva
from the gums SO necessary in the
primary work of digestion.
Many people say (and it is true)
that when they eat Grape-Nuts they
seem able to digest not only that
food but other kinds which formerly

1t is related that a certain man was
recently very sad because his wife
had gone out OF town on a visit,
which she would not shorten in spite
of his appeals to her to come home
He finally hit upon plan to induce
her to return. He sent her copy OF
each of the local papers with one item
clipped out, and when she wrote to
find out what it was he had clipped
out he refused to tell her.
The scheme worked admirably, In

her to know about.-Pittsburg Press.
