To Open the Potomac.
The opening of the upper reaches of
the Potomac to navigation had long been
favorite object with Washington; now
1t seemed nothing less than necessity.
It had been part of the original scheme
Of the old Ohio company to use this
means of winning way for commerce
through the mountains. Steps had been
taken more than twenty years ago to
act in the matter through private sub
ecription: and active measures for secur-
Ing the necessary legislation from the

WATER POWER OF
THE CASCADES

Well to the west of the great rock
barrier which in the early days of tie
republic was assumed to be the uatura,
western boundary of the United States
lies another great belt of elevated land
surmounted by a very chaos of rugged
peaks and pyramids the Cascade
range of Washington and Oregon. In
these mountains exists an ineXhaust-
ible store of potential wealth, much of
il belonging to the nation-not pre-
cious or useful metals, for mines how
ever rich must eventually become eN-
hausted, but wealth of running
water, an endless chain revolving with
the seasons. In the opinion of the
hydrographic engineers of the United
States Geological Survey few areas in
the United States present more favor
able opportunities for the development
Of water power than that traversed by
the Cascade range. The general alti-
tude of the crest of the range is 5000
to 5000 feet above sea level, and the
higher peaks extend into the region OF
everlasting snow. Fuom Mount Rainier
in Washington to Mount Shasta just
south of the Oregon-Californla line,
both more than l4,000 feet in eleva-
tion. many snow covered peaks are. the
perpetual fountains that supply the
flow of strong rivers running westward
TO the coast. The precipitation of the
area is heavy, the Cascade range re-
ceiving about 100 inches of rainfall a
year.
The streams of the Cascades possess
in high degree the requisite character
istics for the successful development
of water power, namely, steep gradi-
ent. abundant water, and compara-
tiyely uniform flow. Add to these the

GIVE BOYS CHORES,
EDUCATORS ADVICE
lFrnm PortInnd Tolepraml

In the course Of an address delivered
before a gathering Of club women at
Chicago, the other night, an eminent
Brooklyn educator made the following
remark There are too many serv-
ants in this country. AS a result this
nation is suffering because the boys
have no chores to do. 1t was the men
with the chores that were and are the
leaders. Our boys are not taught to
work now.
That is homely statement of a
very significant fact-a fact that will
/ be borne out by the observation and
experience of any police or juvenile
court judge In the country, that will
be verified by every educator and by
every investigator in sociology who
has made stddy of the boy of the
time.
In the survey made IN this city not
many months ago under the auspices
of the Consumers League an investig.
alton was made which disclosed the use
TO which the average school boy puts
his spare time. The result of that in
vesugatiOn was the demonstration OF
idleness, of the purposeless waste OF
time: a lack of ambition, and, indeed
d lack of opportunity to consume tim,
with any fixed aim either in work O.
recreation. The general condition wa
described by the one phrase the bo,
with nothing to do. And this mean
in large measure the boy that gets int
mischief and then into the courts.
A great number of boys must, o
course, live in the cities, and It be
comes the duty of the cities, SO far a
they may, to provide avenues for tn
harmless escape Of the boys surplu
energies. He should have a place &
play and he should also be taught &
work. BY the same token he is a bet
ter boy if he is taken onto the farm
and from the farm training, where b
becomes a hoy with chores to do, wit
responsibilities resting upon him, h
develops TO better citizen. All this
of course. pertains to the average an
takes no note of exceptional eases
And it is all an added argument fo
the city man with boys to consider an
turn his face landward.
