To Make Starch

Among the things needed in this
sectionsis starch factory. 1t is need.
ed in our business for the payroll it
will provide, but il is needed far more
as u means for utilizing what is now
largely waste product. Oregon is
the home Of the potato; it is almost
indigenous and yielding prodigiously.
The market is easily overstocked. and
many seasons the crop will hardly pay
for digging and marketing. Even with
the markets good, there is always the
small potatoes, the culls, to be practic-
ally wasted. Some are fed to the hogs:
all should be unless some otaer use can
be found for them, but heretofore this
has not been done because the hogs
were not available. This condition will
be changed and bettercd before long;
but even with this change there is al.
ways a big waste of potatoes. In an
off year for markets, a starch factory
would be of untold benefit; and there
is nc reason why Salem should not be
the location of the plant. Oregon now
gets its starch supply largely from
lowa--and throws tons of it away in
its surplus, or Gull potatoes. "NTade
in Oregon" starch should be one Of
those things we should demand, and
this without having to pause at given
moment, on fixed day to demand Of
ourselves that We demand it.

Best Water Power in World

New England became the manufac-
turing section of the United States in
the earlier days because in them was
the greatest and most easily controlled
water power. Cheap power is neces-
slry adjunct to cheap manufacturing,
and hence until recently the factories
Of all kinds were loa;cd wherever pos
stble near some stream where water
power was available. This was the
foundation on which many cities were
built, and of these the city Of Spokane
j notable recent example. However
since man mas harnesscd the lightning
aud has learned how to turn power
into electricity and this into power,
all this is changed. Before the elec-
tric age. Mahomet, SO to speak, had
to 90 to the mountains, but now he
bids the mountain come and it obcys.
Still, cheap power, no matter where ii
nay be finally used, is dependent, as
il always has been. on water and
4rayitation. In this respect Oregon is
far in the lead of her sister states,
foi her waterpower is perhaps double
tHat Of any al them.
A Great Reservoir.
1t has been variously estimated at
ftDm 100000 to 10000 horsepower,
aud even the latter figure is perhaps
conservative. The Cascade mountains
in Oregon constitute the greatest nat
urRl reservoir in the world measured
from power-producing standpoint.
1t is conseryative!y, estimated that

lions Of the west, in the centuries to
come, when the vast coalfields are ex.

Power at Salem.
This is mentioned only by way of
showing the waterp@er easily avail
able at Salem The Santiam, that can
be reached in II miles, flows from
the heart of the Cascades, the center
of this great reservoir Its waters are
cheaply controlled and it is estimated
to be easily capable of furnishing from
100000 horsepower to double that. Be
sides this there are dozens of other
sources of power easily available
though none so large. Much of the
power now used in the city comes from
Silver creek, n comparatively small
mountain stream, distant scene 25 miles.
In the first great requisite, powsr,
it is seen Salem is abundantly sup.
piled.
Tho next necessary adjunct to cheap
manufacturing is transportation, and
here again Salem can stand the test.
With two railroads passing through
from Portland south, one to San Fran
cisco. One to the east connecting with
branch lines and another to The west
tapping the great timber belt Of the
coast range, and which will eventually
find terminus on the coast, there is
every facility for gathering here the
raw material, as well as the shipping Of
the manufactured products. Added to
this is fine line of steamers on the
willamette river, furnishing the very

BRADLEY HOPES
TO WIN CONTEST
Coach Brown Says Team Is in
Good Shape for Saturday
Nights Game.

Peoria, III. Feb. 12.-Coach Brown
OF the Bradley Polytechnic school re-
ports today that his basketball team
is in good trim for its important strug-
gle here Saturday night against the
Augustana quintet OF Rock Island
Augustana won the first contest with
Bradley Poly by rather one sided
score. and as yet the Islanders have
not been defeated for the Illinois con-
ference title. The Bradley boys,
however. are in good trim for the
game, and Coach Brown predicts to-
day that they will start a climb toward
the top of the percentage column and
again cop the honors held last year
when the team won the intercollegiate
title
Blown by no means expects an easy
win over Augustana, but If the Rock
Island boys win he says they will have
to play some game.
