CAN MAKE STEEL HERE
AND COMPETE WITH EAST

State Engineer Lewis recently read
a paper before the Commonwealth con-
ference held in Eugene in which he
made the statement that electric iron
and steel could be manufactured in Ore
gon as easily as in Pittsburg if only the
people would make use of their water
resources. The following is a letter
from c. E. Potter, who was formerly
superintendent of the Illinois Steel com
pany's plant in South Chicago, and is
generally considered an authority on
iron and steel questions:
81 acknowledge with thanks the re-
ceipt of yours of May 81, enclosing a
copy of your paper before the Common
wealth conference. 1 am glad to note
you are making real progress in your
program. l have had occasion since
you were here to go considerably more
into the detail of electric steel manu-.
faeture, especially with respect to rails,
tires and other railways material and :
am convinced that electric steel will
displace open hearth and Bessemer steel
as rapidly as it can be supplied. The
few electric rails that are now in ser
vice-some 5000 tons-are giving truly
remarkable results, and the same is true
of locomotive tires.
"The roads are eager for electric
steel even at the present high premium
as they realize that its use will pretty
nearly solve the serious difficulties un.
der which they are laboring with other
kinds of steel 1t is entirely possible
for you to establish an immense indus
trial centre adjacent to your proposed
power development and l sincerely hope
you can make the people of Oregon
realize and appreciate this. 1t would
make Oregon a great manufacturing
state, a consummation well worth what
ever preliminary pecuniary outlay that
may be necessary to its accomplish
ment."
