 Lard costs more than butter. AL though eggs, milk and butter have risen greatly in price. 1t probably will become still more difficult to obtain
 them in the near future as farmers are unable to procure fodder and are killing their cows and chickens.

ESTIMATE MADE OF
OREGON WATER POWER

PORTLAND. Or, March 2e.-Ac-
cording to advance copies OF the 1914
Oregon Almanac, the estimate OF
Leonard Lundgren. Hydroelectrical
engineer In the forest service, with
headquarters at Portland. gives the
rated capacity OF the plants already
installed and operating In the state
OF Oregon as 10000 hp., OF which
lO6.760 hp. is operated in Clackamas
county. A tentative estimate made
by the U. S. Geological survey places
the waterpower resources OF oregon
at $500. 900 hp.
The latest reports show that the
existing markets are abundantly sup
piled; but the various power com.
panies are indicating their optimistic
viewpoint in regard to the future
growth OF their business by making
engineering studies on undeveloped
sites. and thereby preparing for ad-
ditional demands for electrical pow
er. These demands will arise with
the increase in population and with
the growth OF manufactures. The
public utilities supplying the Port
land market have prepared for this
future growth through the installa-
tion OF machinery to furnish $4,000
hp. in excess OF the present demand
