WRONG TO POLICEMAN RIGHTEO
ROBERTS BACK ON FORCE WITH
RECORD CLEARED.
Resigned When Story of Losing Re-
volver in Struggle Was
Questioned

After four years of patient waiting, eX-
Policeman Spencer Roberts has had re-
moved the blot on his record which at
tached to his resignation from the force,
The District Commissioners, upon recon-
mendatfon of Maj. Richard Sylvester
have approved his reappointment 10 the
police force.
II ever an act of justice was done. ii
was when the Commissioners agreed TO
the re-appointment of Spencer Roberts
as policeman said Commissioner West
this morning.
Resigned Under Cloud.
Roberts resigned from the force about
four years ago because of his inability
10 get his superior officers to believe
his story in connection with the loss of
his revolver. While doing duty in the
ninth precinct one day. he walked into
the station house minus his revolver and
with his clothes torn and showing the
evidences of a struggle.
To Lieut.. J. G. Daley, now Capt Daley.
he stated that he was passing through a
lonely alley about 8 o'clock in the morn
ing and saw two negroes engaged in
disorderiy conduct. He tried to arrest
them, he explained. and they attacked
him. The policeman. according to his
own story. was OverpoWered and his
revolver taken from him.
Alter nearing the story from POnceman
Roberts. Lieut.. Daley made an investi-
cation. He says that at the point where
Roberts claimed to have had the struggle
there were absolutely no evidences of a
fight. Charges were then preferred
against the policeman.
Policeman Roberts told the same story
at other Investigate tons He had no cor
roboratlon and was unable to locate the
negroes with whom he claimed to have
had the fight. Unable to convince his
superior officers, Policeman Roberts re-
signed.
For three years he waited patiently for
justification, almost without hope, how
ever.
Roberts Is Justified.
Less than a year ago detectives of the
central office found police revolver in
pawn. It turned out to be the identical
revolver lost by Roberts.
Investigation was made. 1t was found
that the wife of the negro with whom
Roberts had struggled three years before
had pawned the weapon. The negro was
arrested
Then followed the confederation OF Rob
erts story from the lips of the man I'M
of the prisoner of the larceny of the gun.
Roberts made an appeal to the Commits
sioners for reappointment.
The arguments were heard few weeks
ago. The Commissioners decided that the
former investigation would be no bar to
the reappointment of Roberts and he
could take q place on the force If he
and met the usual requirements.
He has done that. In day or two he
will begin swinging the baton like vet
eran.

Especial Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-The Pa
cific Northwest has little to fear from
the so-called water-power trust, not
withstanding the dire predictions and
doleful lamentations of Clifford Pin
chot and other extreme conservation
| lists. Nearly one-half of the unde-
veloped water-power in the entire
United States is to be found in the
Pacific Northwest, and the great Co
lumbia River alone, exclusive of its
tributaries, is capable of producing
more water-power than is today being
developed in all the states of the
Unicn. And yet the Columbia River,
when harnessed, will only produce
one-fourth of the water power which
eau be developed in the Pacific North
west.
These facts are contained in a bull
letin issued today by the U. S. Geo
logical Survey, and present the mJst
accurate estimates that can be made
from all data in the hands of the Gov
eminent. In reaching these conclu-
sions, the experts of the Survey ac-
quired their data not alone from the
records of their own Office, but from
the Forest Service, Department of
| Commerce and Labor, the Census,
Army Engineers, Weather Bureau,
and all other branches of the federal
service having facts of Importance
In addition to this exhaustive re-
search, much information was gleam-
ed from reliable private sources, so
that the statements made by the
Survey must be accepted as the most
reliable issued up to this time
I Development or water-power in the
Northwest has only just begun. The
time may come when 25,000,000 horse
power will be generated by the uti-
lization of the water-resources of
that region today less than 100000
horsepower rs being utilized. The
development of water-power is great
est in New England, but gradually, as
the manufacturing industry brapthes
out, the expansion of water-power
development spreads, and gradually
the streams of the West are being
more and more brought under con
troll, and made to take the place OF
steam.
| although the North Pacific can
be made to furnish about one-third
of the total minimum horsepower of
the country, there is at the present
time a development of only 450,00J
horsepower, which indicates clearly
that the most fertile field for power
development remaining in the United
States is this northwestern country.
This quotation is taken from the re-
port of the Geological Survey. 1t will
be noted that one-third of the mini
mum horsepower of the country can
be developed in the Northwest, which
means the development of power
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-09-30
TOO MUCH FOR A POWER TRUST

without resorting to the storage Of
water at considerable expense. In
the years to come, when other pow
ers, because of the rising price of
fuel, get beyond the reach of indus
try, water-power sites, now unattrac-
tive because of the high cost of devel-
opment, will be brought into use, and
then, with the maximum power de-
veloped, the Pacific Northwest will
contribute one-fourth Of the total wa
ter power in the whole country.
New York, because of the harness
ing of Niagara Falls, has the largest
water-power development of any state
in the Union, yet the total develop
ment in that state is only 885, S62
horsepower. California is second with
a development of 466,774 horsepower,
and Maine, one of the oldest users of
water power, ranks third with 343,0 96
horsepower. The difference between
waterpower development in the older
states of the East, and the younger
states of the West is shown by the
fact that the average development
per water-wheel in Maine is 1913
horsepower, as against 436 horsepow-
er each IN California. In other words,
only the more attractive powers are
today being utilized on the Pacific
coast, whereas the East is utilizing
its smaller streams, and more nearly
utilizing its fullest waterpower pos
sibilities.
According to the figures of the Geo.
logical Survey there are today 1858
water-wheels in operation in the Pa
cific Northwest, developing a total OF
472,165 horsepower. This does not
include 60 wheels in Alaska. which
develop 1929 horsepower. The dis
tribution and size of the existing wa
ter-power plants is SHOWN by the fol-
lowing table:
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-09-30

power in Montana. The bulk of the
power developed on the minor tribu-
taries of the Columbia River is found
in Washington, where 1856 wheels pro-
duce 33,O99 horsepower. Teh other
S 5wheels in Oregon, produce but
10176 horsepower. On the Kootenai
river three wheels are operated in
Idaho, producing 355 horsepower and
five wheels in Montana, producing 100
horsepower On the unnamed minor
streams of the northwest 1876 wheels
are maintained in Oregon, producing
$50 horsepower; thirty wheels are
operated in Washington, developing
1896 horsepower, and 176 wheels in
northern California develop 25,44O
horsepower
But what has been done in the
way of water power development in
the Northwest dwindled into insignif-
canoe when compared with the posi-
bilities of future development After
studying the flow and drop of the va
rious rivers of the Northwest, going
over topographic maps, and consid-
ering all available data, the Geologi-
cal Survey experts announce that the
minimum horsepower that may be
developed in thta section, without re-
sorting to storage and other eXpen-
sive works, would reach 12,979,70O
horsepower, while the maximum de-
be nearly double that
amount, or 24,701 900 horsepower
The Columbia River, as previously
stated. offers the greatest opportunl-
ties for power development; next
comes the Snake; then the Pend Or
ellie. Deschutes, Willamette, etc. The
power possibilities are best shown by
the following table taken from the
Geological Survey report.

With possibilities of developing
nearly twenty-five million horsepower
in the Pacific Northwest. where less
than half million horsepower is now
utilized, and when it is considered
that only little more than five mil
lion horsepower are today utilized in
the entire United States, it is readily
perceived that corporation or trust
that would monopolize the water
powers of the Northwest alone, let
alone the rest of the country, would
have to be such an organization as
would make the Standard Oil look
like a diminutive retailer. These
figures, produced for the first time
do not bear out the predictions made
