Iowa Falls, Jan. 2.-As the develop
Cedar and Des Moines rivers has at
t-acted more or less attention the past
few years, the careful investigation o:
proposed power sites in this part of the
state by the Iowa Engineering Society
is of interest The advance proof sheets
of the society's report on the possibill-
steam plants at Iowa Falls and Web
ster City are of more thar passing in
terest. In prefacing the data of the two
kinds of plants at both places, the So
ciety says:
The problem is reduced to compari-
son Of the economy Of power supply
from low head hydraulic plants and
steam plants; other forms OF power
plants not being of sufficient import
ance, at the present time. to consider
The near future will probably see 9
development Of the producer gas plant
to such a point that it will be more
economical than the steam plant.
The cost of supplying power is natur-
ally divided into two parts:
Fixed expenses: Interest, deprecia :
ton, taxes, insurance.
Variable expenses: Salaries ana
wages. maintenance. supplies tcoa'
water, oil. etc)
AS long as the plant is operating
some of the expenses under the second
head are fixed. but as the determine
ton of the proportion between the
fixed and variable portions is very dlt-
ficult. the tendency at present is to in
clude under fixed expenses only those
sources of expense which would con-
time if the plant We're idle. The yari-
able expenses being dependent on the
output of the station it is seen that an
important consideration in the cost OF
power service is the relation beween
the fixed and variable expenses, which!
rs largely determined by The time each
year that the power is used. rms ols-
cussion makes necessary the introduc-
ton of a term, the meaning OF when

o. A. c. ISSUES In
STRUCTIVE BULLETIN

The bulletin. entitled 'The Enrich
ment of Rural Life, just issued by
the Oregon Agricultural College is one
of the handsomest and most instructive
ever sent out by the institution. Its
pages are filled with matter the read
ing of which will be educational for
the rancher. and it is handsomely Illus
trated with engrsvings. One OF the
cuts shows the Hood River valley near
the apple house of A. |. Mason. The
bulletin makes a strong plea for the
school fairs, saying:
Several counties have taken up the
work with especial energy and enthusi-
asm. They have made it means OF
introducing, OF Of encouraging, both
industrial and agricultural work in the
school. By initiating contests in gar
dening and in poultry rearing, for in
tance, they have not only stimulated
the children to thoughtful effort in ag-
ricutural production, but have awak-
ened the parents and business people to
cooperate with the movement by offer
ing liberal prizes. They have thus sue
ceeded in carrying through both local
and county exhibits, often with re-
narkably fine displays and remarkably
large attendance. The result has been
revolutionary the schools have been
louickeped into novel and inspiring
activity, and the communities, In sym,
pathy with the children, have awakened
to a delighted sense of rivalry, loyalty
and neighborhood pride.

WARNINGS AGAINST
KILLING PHEASANTS

While, according to the old bills that
have been in effect, the closed season
would have ended this year, the leglsla-
ture at the last session passed bills
regulating the season in different coun-
ties of the state. The season for the
killing of China pheasants will remain
closed in Hood River county and other
communities east of the Cascades. The
people here have made an effort to
stock the community with these beau
tiful game birds, which when unmo-
Tested become semi-domestic, and the
law will be stictly enforced. A num-
be of the local orchardists have made
game preserves of their places and
have liberated the birds on their
ranches.
State Game Warden W. l.. Finley
has signitied his intention of further
aiding the ranchers in stocking the
community. In a letter to W. M.
Stewart last week he calls attention
to the closed season. Mr.. Finley says:
al hope these birds will be given
good protection and that they will in
crease and do we'll in that locality. 1t
might be we'll to give this matter some
publicity so that people may be inter-
ested in the matter and give the birds
proper protection. There is no open
season on China pheasants in Hood
River county, so that the birds should
be we'll protected.
