MIGHTY GIANT
 IN NEW YORK
Single Machine Capable of Supplying Three Cities With Electricity Uses 86,000,O00 Gallons Water a Day

NEW YORK, June 23.-A line of horses six abreast and ten miles long, or thirty of the largest express loco motives, would be required to accom- plish the work of the mightiest ma- chine in the world for the genera ton Of electricity which has just been added to New York's power resources. The most remarkable feature about this new mechanical giant. a steam turbine, is it's relatively small size. Only IT by 171A feet at it's base, with a height of 3512 feet, the new gen. orator supplies power sufficient to provide all the electrical current re- quired by a city of 250,000 population or to furnish light alone to such a group of cities as Albany, Syracuse and Utica. Weighing but APO tons the machine equals in power the greatest leviathan afloat A striking illustration of the development of power facilities is afforded by com parisOn of this last word in central station equipment with the machines
 in use but twenty-five years ago when sixteen primitive "jumbos" fur nished Father Knickerbocker with his electric nghtS. No less than 240 of the old generators with a total weight of 7200 tons would be required to do the work of the new generator which could be enclosed in a small cottage with room to spare. The new gen. orator uses four hundred tons of coal daily to produce 100000 pounds of steam and for condensing this steam requires 86000,O00 gallons of water every twentyfOur hours. Two simi- lar machines are. nearing completion and when the complete battery of three is in operation the trio of mon- sters will require 258,000,000 gallons of water daily or almost half as much as the entire supply of the city. When the sixteen "jumbos" did the city's electrical work there were but fifteen miles of mains and feeders all in the small territory south of City Hall park. Now there are 1114 miles of mains feeders and cables in the underground system to carry juice" throughout a territory of more than sixty-one square miles.

Considerable amusement has been expressed in the downtown sugar brokerage district over the action of the refiners this week in petitioning congress for the enactment of a free sugar bill in order to benefit the con- sumers of the country They explain their cynicism as to the sincerity of this sudden solcitude of the sugar trust and it's fellows for the public by referring to conditions last fall when the foreign corner and the shortage in the raw supply gave these public spirited concerns an Opportun ity to mark up prices and to sell their accumulated stocks at tre- mendOus advance At that time, ac- cording to these experts, the so called independent refiners outdid even the trust in the Sky-rOcketing process to which prices were subjected. The only thing according to these author ities. that prevented the refiners from exacting a still heavier toll from the users of sugar was the coming into the market of the domestic supply of beet sugar which sent prices down and saved hundreds of thousands of dollars to the public. They attribute the present concerted efforts of the refiners to bring about the enactment of a free sugar law to the anxiety of the directing poyers of these corpora tions to rid themselves of the dan
 gerous competition of the domestic sugar growing industry which would leave them again undisputed masters of the sugar market.

LATER REGULATION
 FOR WATER DELIVERY
Copy of the Interior Departm ent's
 Amended Rule

The Salt River Valley Water Users association recently passed resolu
 tiOns to the effect that it would be to their advantage and best interest if the reclamation service would adopt q regulation that in addition to the system of delivery now in vogue, de-
 livery of water would be made direct to the smallest unit of public land surveys where said unit adjoins a main lateral of the project. It has heretofore been the practice of the United States to deliver water at the highest point on each 160-acre tract only, following the practice which had obtained for many years prior to the advent of the government. In many instances the 160-1cre tracts have been subdivided into smaller areas. involving the problem of pro Viding for a distribution to much smaller tracts. As the cost of the

and other Wagers were made until $20,000 in bets had been placed in one hotel alone before the game started. So close was the score all through the game that during the last five minutes $5000 was wagered on the outcome. The game was played in the biggest billiard room in the city and an attendant was kept busy answering incessant telephone calls for the score from nearly every brok- craze firm in the city. Other persons playing pool and billiards at the time quickly dropped their games and with the attendants and spectators hung upon the inferior shots of the anna teur contestants. Even the cashier deserted his counter to watch The final score after several hours of play was 125 to IA A curious feature of the exciting event was that neither player had wagered a cent on the game.

SUCCESSFUL
SHOW DRAWS
TO A CLOSE

Today will see the closing of Pen
dleton's greatest Roundup exhibition.
In the terms of the range "All's
branded" and the cowboys and cow
girls can return home. The work has
been done and done well; thousands
of visitors have seen sights which
perhaps they have longed to see all
their lives; and they return to their
native cities full of the thrill of the
Roundup; and with visions of the old
west as it used to be; and with a bet
ter idea of what the life in the west is
today.
Moreover everybody has been salts
fled and everybody is happy. 1t was
a good natured gathering, a jolly
crowd and despite the fact that the
three days have brought more people
to Pendleton than upon any occasion
of its kind in the past, there has been
every semblance of order The visi-
tors certainly came to Pendleton pre-
pared to enjoy themselves; and they
go back home apparently satisfied
with the welcome which the city has
extended and perhaps with the reso-
luton to come again next year if it is
humanely possible.
The Roundup has been a bigger
success this year than ever before
and nothing but praise with the man
ner in which it was handled has been
heard from those who have come dis
tances to witness it.
Today is the last. The last rope will
be thrown; the last horse will be rid
den. Until another year then the
Roundup has come to successful
termination.
The slogan of the Roundup is a
good one to remember. When things
do not go right with you; when cir
cumstances seem to be against you and
Fate deals you a blow between the
eyes, remember what the cowboys say
in the great Northwest. Just grit
your teeth get another hold, be a man
and 'let 'er buck"

Questions and Answers
BROTHERHOOD OF THE UNION

Many years ago there was secret
organization in Alexandria known as
the brotherhood Of the Union. What

The brotherhood Of the Union
hourished about ten years in this
city. It. was introduced about the
close OF the civil war and was dis
banded sometime in the later part OF
the seventies. There were two cir

The former met in what is known
as Phoenix Hall, northwest corner
