100000 HORSE POWER
This Amount in Sterams of the State
Only 10 Per Cent Utilized

N. C. Glover, assistant chief hydro
grapher of the United States geOlOg-
ical survep has issued a report on
the water power of Washington
which shows up Chelan county as
one of the most important in the way
of water power available in the state.
In the state there is horsepower to
the amount of three million.
Only small percentage is as yet
being used. His figures showing that
less than ten per cent of the water
power resources of the state are de-
veloped and utilized The report
says:
Power enough is wasted annually,
which if developed and applied to in
dustrial and commercial purposes,
would make the state an economic
factor in the history of the country.
But before such move can be made
it will first be necessary to make a
systematic study of the water supply,
streams must be measured and rec
ord of the daily flow for several
years must be obtained. To neglect
this opportunity will lcertainly be det-
rimental to the best interests of
Washington.
Mr.. Glover does not desire to i'm
ply that the people are not taking
advantage of the cheap water power
so lavishly placed at their disposal,
but he seeks to impress upon the
manufacturer and investors in the
east, middle west and south, not IA
miliar with the situation, that the
state of Washington offers unexcelled
opportunities in water power develop
ment The fact that water power is
so abundant will unquestionably
prove great factor in the future de-
velopment along manufacturing and
transportation lines and will be of
untold benefit to the business inter-
ests of the entire state.
The appended tabulation contains
the statistics of what competent en-
gineers declare is a conservative es-
innate of the water power in the var

OF the 800 miles of electric rail-
way under construction or projected
in the Pacific Northwest the state of
Washington can easily claim the
largest share. Extensive develop
ment has already been done in east
ern and western Washington, and
to these systems hundreds of miles
will be added this and the coming
years. Plans are making by which a
dozen companies, operating electric
railways, irrigation, Touring mills,
and lighting plants, will utilize hun
dreds of thousand horse power. Prob
ably the most pretentious of these
deals with plan to employ the wat
er of Chelan falls, west of Spokane
to generate power for an electric rail-

CYRIL SCOTT
IN THE
PRINCE CHAP

Quite one of the most interesting
announcements that has been made
this season in connection with things
theatrical is that Of the engagement
of Cyril Scott and "The Prince
Chap" at the opera house next
Tuesday evening.
"The Prince Chaps" popularity in
eastern cities has been considerable,
and 1t has lent its name to score
of novelties in many of the stores of
the country.
1t has proved to be one Of the
luckiest draws in the dramatic lot
terry of many seasons. OF course
there were other successes locally as
big, but few able to hold sway as
"The Prince Chap" has done on both
sides of the Atlantic. The original
presentation was made in New York
with Cyril Scott as star at the Madi-
son Square theater The London

run was made at Sir Charles Wynd-
hams Criterion theater. It would
be quite possible TO tour several
companies of THE Prince Chap"
successfully in this county, as in
England, save for the contracts made
which call for Cyril Scott and the
number one company from Madison
Square and Weber's theaters in
New York.
Few plays caught the New York
critics so completely as did Mr.. Ed
ward Peple's initial effort as a play
wright. No sensations were sprung
by the press agent to attract a first
night audience. and II was left to
the play and its people TO win out.
The result was the unexpected.
While the opinions were varied, each
particular feature OF the piece SEEM
ed to find comment and praise from
each particular critic. The heart
interest, however, won universal
eulogy. The episodes in which the
child figured thoroughly captivated
those who had always been known
as cynics. There were none so blase
that could resist such beautiful
scenes as Claudia's prayer and the
Christmas tree. Those who were
too blase for sentiment remained to
laugh at the exhilarating comedy
that springs spontaneously from
every scene. Everything appeared
TO be in contradiction to the usual
order of theatrical entertainments.
The habitual playgoer becomes by
experience hardened, but THE Prince
Chap" drew tears from those who
had apparently forgotten what 1t
was to succumb TO sentiment, and
laughter from those whom farce and
comic opera had failed to arouse.
This proves It to be a real play, the
kind OF play that tells real story,
that can be told in language, which
accounts for the fact of its being in
demand In Paris, Vienna and Ber-
lin. II is based upon a very simple
theme. II is the story of a waif that
is adopted by an artist. and from 1t
springs all the emotions that love
and laughter hold. THE Prince
Chap" we believe, is both a lesson
and an entertainment, and the role
of the artist as played by Cyril Scott

MADE QUICK DROP
Pedestrian Saved Bis, Life By So Doing on North Main Street.

The prompt presence of mind of a man on North Main street this noon undoubtedly saved his life. The trolley car which leaves the center at 1928 was just going over the crosswalk at the Citizens bank, and a large touring car containing three women and two men was coming down North Main street at a good clip. The man started to cross the street from the west side to Abbott avenue. Evidently he was trying to cross ahead of the trolley and did not notice the automobile. The chauffeur may have footed his horn, but the man did not hear it. Neither did the person who shouted warn ing to the man who was crossing the street. One step farther and the man surely would have been killed. Just as his foot was raised to take what would have been the fatal step, bystander uttered an unearthly and ear-splitting yell The man took in tho situation in a sec- ond and throwing his hands over his head fell backwards on the road. The chauffeur was attending to busi- ness at the wheel also and brought his car to a sudden stop, but not soon enough to avoid hitting the man if he hadn't thrown himself on the road. It was a close call, and the onlookers heavcd a sigh of relief when it was all over and the man was not injured.

Most Genuine Specimens Found In the
 Province of Astrakhan.
 The collection of eyestones is a dying industry. In New York the prin- cipal sources of supply are sailors who touch the Baltic sea, and. as might be imagined. the supply is precarious.
 EyestOnes are analogous in some re spects to bezoars, as they are q con cretion found in the stomach of the European crawfish Most of the genu- inc eyestones, crabs eyes. crabstones or Lapilli cancrorum, are procured in the province of Astrakhan, in Euro pean Russia.
 There appears to be some confusion regarding the nature of the eyestone. for some authorities speak of it as a concretion in the stomach of a certain crab and others as of a peculiar shell formation which is separated from the crab at the time it sheds its shell.
 The so called crabs eyes are found fully developed at the end of summer, as the crabs begin to shed their shells. It is noted that these concretions arc absorbed into the stomach of the crab during the shedding season and there pulverized and absorbed, the dissolved calcareous substance being used. it is supposed. for the formation of a new shell. When these calcareous shells are not normally developed and ab- sQrbed it is observed that the shedding process is interrupted. and the crab dies an early death.-American Drug gist.

A Dreadful Assault.

Justice Ball, an Irish judge, was noted for his amusing manifestations of ignorance, but whether they were real or pretended has never been clear ly established. He tried a case in which man was indicted for robbery at the house of poor widow. The first witness was the young daughter of the widow, who identified the pris- oner as the man who had entered the house and smashed her mothers chest
 Do you say that the prisoner at the bar broke your mothers chest?" said the judge in astonishment.
 He did, my lord" answered the girl. He jumped on it till he smashed 1t entirely"
 The judge turned to the crown coun- sel and said: How is this? Why is not the prisoner indicted for murder? If he smashed this poor woman's chest in the way the witness has described he must surely have killed her"

Old Dr. Ryland, clergyman and ed ucator, was greatly beloved in the south, and his visits were always en- joined by his former pupils and par ishioners. In his later years it was his custom to offer prayer whenever he made a ministerial call. On one occasion he called at a house where three of his former pupils were stay ing. These ladies were all past the thirtieth year mark, but in the eyes of the old gentleman they were still girls. which explains the petition he offered:
