LOCATES BIG POWER PLANT.
New York Central Agent Files on
10000 Horse Power ON Columbia.

With the intention of harnessing
the tremendous waste energy Of the
Columbia river steps have been taken,
by the filing Of a water right at Ste
venson. the county seat of Skamania
county, Washington, claiming the use
OF water OF the Columbia at the up
per Cascades. The project contem-
plates the completion of an electric
power plant that will grind out 30,-
600 horsepower.
II. c. Eckensberger, general freight
agent Mt Portland for the New York
Central lines, appears in the project
and made the filing. Whom he rep
resents is not yet known. That there
are big interests behind him is ad-
mitted, states an exchange. and by
many It is thought the plan is to
electrify divisions of the North Bank
railroad
The paper filed indicates the in
tention to appropriate water at the
upper Cascade rapids n canal being
mapped out leaving the river just
above the rapids and running thence
down the north bank of the river
about 10000 feet or more. It is plan
ned to use 10000 cubic feet of water
n second from the stream FOR power
and manufacturing purposes"
Backed by Portland n Seattle Road.
The only explanation given Is that
the power project is backed by the
builders of the Portland & Seattle
railway and that the intention Is to
eloctrify the road as soon as power
generators are completed. The plan
outlined contemplates the construc-
tion of a flume along the river bank
over two miles in length. Ecken-
berger said he could not discuss the
subject.
81 was in hopes" he said, that no
publicity would attend the filing of
this application, because 1t may inter-
fere considerably with our plans. l
am guided in my actions entirely by
capitalists who have decided to har-
ness the Columbia river.
"Thc 10000 cubic feet per second
discharge will mean little more than
one-sixth of the total discharge over
the rapids at minimum low water.
Just how much 1t would mean at
high water, can only be conjectured
In high water we will be benefited
ms n matter of fact because at such
n time there is current of about 2S
miles an hour at the upper Cascades
"Our people will go ahead just as
rapidly as conditions will warrant. /
am frank to say 1t will be big prop
osition. but just how big, just who
are behind It and when it Will be
completed, how much money VIII De
spent and for just what purpose II
is to be developed, can not discuss
at this time"

road and there met Jackman,
who had just got up. He hol-
lowed at the driver to stop, but
ne kept whipping the horses.
Phillips, who was lying in the
front boot with the Henry rifle,
kept threatening to shoot the
driver If he did not drive as fast
as possible. A running fight
then ensued for several miles.
Phillips made several very close
shots at Jackman, one ball pass
ing through his clothes under
his left arm; Coaking was inside
on the back seat, firing, and got
shot though the head and ankle.
The stage was again overtaken
at Desert Springs, about thirty
miles from the first shooting.
There they arrested Phillips and
another man. The former had
purchashed a horse and was pre-
parlng to mount when the sheriff
and Christ came up. The dead
body of Coaking had not been
removed from the stage on their
arrival, which, after some con-
sultation was buried at the
springs. Sheriff Kane returned
to Phoebe Friday evening with
his prisoners and lodged them in
Jail. A large crowd assembled

NATURES CATARRH CURE.
Sensible and Scientific Way to Cure
This DisagreeabIe Disease.

Nearly everyone suffers at one time
or another with catarrh.
The natural way to cure this dis
agreeable disease is by applying heal
ing medications direct to the diseased
spot.
In no other way can this be done as
naturally as by the use of Hyomei,
breathed through the neat pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit.
Put several drops of Hyomei in the
inhaler and then for a few minutes,
four or five times day. let the air
you breathe come through it. In that
way all the air that enters the nasal
passages, the throat or the lungs. is
filled with Hyomei's healing mciica-
ton. reaching the most remote air cells
of the respiratory organs, destroying
all catarrhal germs and soothing and
healing the irritated mucous men,
brane.
A few days use of Hyomei will show
how quickly it relieves all catarrhal
conditions, and you will not have to
use it long before you find it has
effected a complete ana lasting cure.
So strong is Bowditch, Webster &
Co. Augusta and Geo. W. Dorr. Water
VILE faith in the power of Hyome1 to
cure catarrhal troubles that with every
dollar outfit they give a guarantee to
refund the money unless the remedy
gives satisfaction. They take all the
responsibility and you cannot afford to
suffer longer with catarrh when an
offer like this is made to you.
Should extra bottles of Hyomei be
needed they can be obtained for Soc,
making this one of the most economical
as we'll as the most reliable remedies
for catarrh that is known.
