LARGEST wATERwHEEL.

The largest waterwheels ever built
will be installed by the Pacific Coast
Power company on the White river
to furnish cheap electrical power for
Seattle and the surrounding territory.
Three mammoth wheels will produce
20,400 horsepower each. Where the
big viaduct of the Northern Pacific
railroad crosses the White river just
north of Buckley, Wash, a diver
sion dam will be built, which Will
serve 10 form a pond from which wa
ter can be drawn TO an earthen ditch.
About three miles along this ditch
from the dam a settling pond will be
formed by a small lake, where the
white silt will settle out of the water
and leave it clear. Another ditch will
connect this pond with the main stor-
age reservoir, which will hold enough
water to operate the plant for a pc
riod of three or four months, should
not additional water be received.
The storage reservoir isto be made
up Of several existing lakes which
will have their capacities largely in
creased by the building of heavy en-
bankments and masonry dams. From
the storage reservoir, two tunnels
SO0O feet long will eventually be bor-
ed through rock and dirt, although
only one is to be constructed at pres
ent. These will connect with the
head basin, from which several steel
pipe lines 22O0 feet long viii be built
for each of the turbines. These big
tubes will be eight feet m diameter
at the upper end and six feet at the
power house.
The power house will contain the
hydraulic turbines. Each turbine
win be directly connected with an
electric generator. When completed
the plant will add another to the
number of great power plants which
will use the energy of rivers to con-
serve the supplies of coal, and make
possible the use of cheap electrical
power for Seattle and other nearby
towns and cities.

pancy cannot yet be told. But in a
general way it may he figured that
the institution will be in use quite as
soon as gravity water system can
be secured for Pendleton. The task
OF arranging for and constructing a
gravity system viii take many
months.
So it would seem that the sooner
action is taken the better it will be.
About the first step will he to vote a
bond issue to provide for the con-
struction Of the new system. When
win an election be held for this pur-
pose? VIII Pendleton act promptly
ir this instance and so show the state
that the people of this city are ready
t. do right by the institution that has
been located here? or would it be
better to allow this matter to drag
along indefinitely regardless of the
possible consequences of such a course.
would II be better to wait, as Salem
and Eugene have done, until typhoid
epidemics have swept the city and
brought forth roars of indignation
from all over the state?
The East Oregonian has made no
particular canvass of local sentiment
but this paper is eady to wager a
dollar against a doughnut that four
fifths of the local people are ready
To vote at this time for mountain
water system. Pendleton should pro-
vide a good and abundant supply of
water for the branch hospital. Be
sides that the people of Pendleton
need good water themselves.

MAN is VICTIM OF STYLE.

Baltimore News: The fact is that,
in spite Of his boasted superiority,
mere man generally takes as much in
terest in the niceties of fashion as
does the so-called sisterhood Of van
ity. A smooth, stall-fed piker with
an up-to-date front can borrow mon
ey or marry the girl on his own rec
ognizance. while dowdy merit is still
wondering If government bonds or a
loving disposition can secure a hear
ing. Not only do the wise ones know
this, but 1t is a further fact that, on
the whole, the consciousness Of being
well groomed and decently tailored
imparts feeling of respectabillty
which gradually becomes real in all
but the most desperate cases. 1t not
only throws the halo Of embezzlement
over petty larceny. but it has been
known to keep an honest man from
becoming a thief. Even depravity has
to take its hat off to the psychology
Of clothes. Inherent gentility gladly
does SO.

The development of the Public Ser
vice Commission idea goes on apace
In Massachusetts, for instance, the
two most interesting pieces of legis-
lation at present are a bill calling fol
direct nomination upon the office ol
governor and a public service commits
sion bill enlarging the powers of the
present railroad commission. This
has long been one of the best in the
country, being considered the model
unless first place be given to Wis
consin's. 1t has been found, how
ever, that the commissioners are
overworked and without adequate
power; hence the measure which
would confer upon them about the
same control of public utilities as Is
now. vested in the New York state
commissions

STRENGTHEN THIS LAW.


There is a bill before the legislature
that has for its object the strength
.ening of the laws against the issuance
OF bogus checks. Certainly action
along this very line is needed and if
the bill is properly drawn it should
be adopted.
At this time the oregon law regard
ing bogus checks is VIGOROUSLY weak,
Time and again have local people
been bunkoed by men who have is
sued worthless paper and then es-
capped prosecution through the fact
that the law did not cover their Of
fence in an adequate manner. Often
this county has gone to much expense
only to find that the effort has been
n vain.
Within the past few months a man
named Hughes has made himself par
.ticularly obnoxious. He has issued
worthless checks here, at Boise and
more recently in Portland. He has
become a perfect nuisance to bankers
and business men. His case was in
vestigated by the grand jury at its
last session but apparently the case
was dropped because the law govern
ing his offence is lax.
1t is time something was done tow
ards placing a taboo on this sort Of
business. The present laws seem to
place a premium on rascality.

tablishment I never am absent my

In Maine, too, the new type Of COM
mission is at hand. The democratic
caucus declared in favor of one com
posed Of five members, as in New
York. 1t is not only to supplant the
present railroad commission, but is
to have supervision over all other
public service corporations and the
power to regulate rates. The com
mission idea is generally credited to
United States Supreme Court Justice
Charles Hughes who first put it to
trial when he was governor of New
York. The spread Of the idea, the
friends of Justice Hughes declare, is
the source of particular qualification
to him.

WILL HAVE OFFICES
 IN BOSTON

Boston, Oct. 5-Ft was officially an- nounced today at local headquarters of the New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad that actual headquar- ters of the corporation will be located in Boston immediately following the completion of the $5O0,0OO addition to the South Station. Although, accord ing to agreement with the State of Connecticut, the headquarters must be located in that State, the real office headquarters will be transferred here and President Mellen will spend most of his time here.
 While no official in Boston would all low the use of his name, it was learn ed at local headquarters by a United Press representative that Boston has gradually become the actual headquar- ters because of rapid development of business here and throughout the northern part of New England
 It was pointed out emphactically that in. name the official Isheadquarters will remain in New Haven owing to the clause in the company's charter, but that large increases of business following the agreement reached be- tween the New, Haven road and the Boston & Albany make it essential to the best interests of the road that many of the clerks and officials now employed at New Haven be brought to Boston. They will be located on the 4th and 5th floors of the new South Station addition.
 President Mellen's local officers will be on the 4thl floor in the new struc- ture, as will also those of the vice president and directors.

COMEDY AT. PARK THEATRE
 WITH AUTHOR IN CAST Charles Dickson the Maker of Bright Eyes" and the "Three Twins" Brings
 New Play Here

The audience that went to the Park Theatre last evening to see Charles Dickson's new comedy, ''The Golden Rule Ltd", were of one mind and that is that the play is clean, wholesome and enjoyable. It tells a pretty story in pretty way.
 Just why the author should choose to inf1ict his production with such miSnOmer for a name is difficult to understand. We venture the guess that a poorer name could not have been selected, and we think that it is a proved fact that an enticing and alluring title often helps to make the box office receipts total up.
 MT. Dickson's work as an interpreter of the comedy role is altogether cred itable. He has given to his creation a fairly well balanced and creditably acting cast.
 E The play will be seen again for the final time during this engagement this evening, and there are many choice sittingS to be had.

Atcherly, of Taunton, a time clerk in the New Haven roads employ, sta toned in this city, owing to the be- lief that conspiracy of wide scope to defraud. that road exists Atcherly was arraigned in the district court this morning, and entered a plea of guilty to a complaint charging that he made false entries in a timebook with intent to defraud and did de- fraud the road.

 These amounts, it is claimed were drawn by the engineers and it is claimed that they afterwards met in Boston and other, places and divided the, difference with Atcherly This scheme, it is claimed, has been in vogue since Christmas, last, and the amount involved may be more than the limit of $2,00O now set by the road.
