Big Power Project Begun for
Oregon Electric at Eugene

Eugene-A force of men is at work
at the Oregon Electric's $4,000, 900
power project at Clear Lake at the
head of the Mckenzie river in the
summit of the Cascade mountains.
Preliminary work is to be rushed says
L. C. Gilman, president of the Oregon
Electric, who arrived in Eugene this
week. He stated definitely that no
other plans for development are under
way.
II am not prepared to state at this
time how soon the permanent con-
struction work will Begin" he said.
The Mckenzie power project, one of
the largest in the state, involving the
tapping of one of the largest lakes at
the summit of the Cascades, was COM
menced quietly several years ago.
Engineers established headquarters
and meteorological readings were made
daily over a period of two years.
Final surveys were made and engineers
reports submitted were favorable to
the projects.
The first formal announcement was
made more than year ago, when one
of the engineers, returning with the
final reports, made public the plans.

In the demand for the rural credit
law the committee recites that the
people. of the country expected relief
from the financial stringency after the
passage of the administration currency
act and that the law has failed to
bring about that relief. II says that
money is as scarce as it was before the
passage Of the act, and reports that
rates of interest have remained as be-
fore.
1t calls upon all of the subordinate
oranges Of the state to support a
measure for the relief Of the farmers,
contending that the interest rates now
charged by lenders are "eating the
vitals and life out of the state and ma
tion."
The committee would have congress
grant to the states the right to issue
Misunderstanding bonds to be used
as time loans on which the secretary
of the treasury would issue currency
less per cent discount. This would
be handled by the state land board and
applicants for funds would receive
loans not in excess of so per cent Of

lin-Hixon Manufacturing company will
begin the construction here of saw

Business Is Able to Bear Strain

Chicago Whatever may be the out

Activities in what may be termed
the "war business" of the country are

PEACE IS TONE or PRESIDENT
WILSON'S PHILADELPHIA TALK

Philadelphia-Presiden Wilson CAV,
to gathering Of 1000 naturalizet
Americans Tuesday night the first in.
timation Of what course the United
States government will pursue in the
situation resulting from the loss Of
more than hundred American lives
on the British liner Lusitania.
He spoke by implication, but his
hearers interpreted his remarks az
meaning that while the United States
will remain at peace 1t would seek 10
convince Germany Of the injustice ID
mankind Of the tragedy of last Friday.
America" said the President,
must have the consciousness that on
all sides 1t touches elbows and touches
heart with all nations Of mankind.
The example Of America must be a
special example and must be an ex-
ample not merely Of peace because it
will not fight, but because peace is a
healing and elevating influence Of the
world, and strife is not.
''There is such thing as man be-
ing too proud to fight. There is such
thing as a nation being so right that
it does not need to convince others by
force that 1t is right"
These remarks precipitated tumult
Of applause and patriotic enthusiasm
emphasized by waving Of small Amer
lean flags. The President made no di-
rect reference to the Lusitania trag-
edy, but the audience did not hesitate
to read the application Of his state
ment.
The sentiment expressed by the
Presidents speech was epitomized
later by one of his closest advisers as
humanity first" While it had not
yet been determined, he said, exactly
what steps would be taken by the Uni
ted States in the, present crisis, the
idea uppermost in the Presidents
mind was to show that whatever
course is adopted, no matter how Wig
orous, it will have as its objective the
good of humanity.
Introduced by Mayor Blankenburg,
who spoke in distinctly German ac-
cent, welcome and an appeal for
simple allegiance to the United States,
the president carried forward the idea
Of the welding of foreign blood in the
of Americans by pointing out
the true goal Of right American citi-
zenship to be loyalty not to the coun-
try of ones birth, but to the land of
ones adoption.
"While you bring" he said, "all
with you, you come with a
purpose of leaving all other countries
behind you-bringing what is best of
their spirit, but not looking over your
shoulder and seeking to perpetuate
what you intended to leave in them. /
would not certainly be one who would
suggest that man cease to love the
place of his origin. 1t is one thing to
love and another thing to dedicate
yourself to the place where you go.
You can't be an American if you think
Of yourself in groups. America does
not consist of groups. A man who
considers himself as belonging to a
group is not yet an American.
"My advice to you is to
think first not only of America, but to
think first of humanity, and you do
not love humanity if you seek to di-
vide humanity into jealous camps"

RIDDLE RETAINED
To Direct Buckeye Corn Special Tour
And Junior Contest Work-Action
of State Board of Agriculture-Re-
pudiates Charge of Politics And
Mismanagement.

T. P. Riddle of Lima, who direct
eye Corn Special Tours under the
harmon and Cox administrations, has
been retained by the Willis admin
istration. This action is generally
accepted as refutation of all charg-
es of politics and mismanagement in
connection with the work. 1t will be
recalled that shortly after the in
stallation of the psesent administration
and during the agitation for the re-
placing of the Agricultural Commits
sion by a Board of Agriculture,
charges of graft were made against
Mr.. Riddle. An investigation of
those charges was made by the Agri-
cultural Commission and Mr.. Riddle
was given complete exoneration. Later
there were persistent reports to the
effect that Mr.. Riddle would be sue
ceeded by J. R. Clark of Columbus, but
it has developed that Mr.. Ride has
been retained by the State Board of
Agriculture as Director of Junior
Contests and in charge of the Buck
eye Corn Special Tour, and Mr.. Clark
has been employed as Assistant
Director.
In commenting upon the Junior
Contest work and the Buckeye Corn
Special Tour, Mr.. Ride says: "There
is a light enrolment in the Junior
Contests this year, due to the fact
that the public entertained the I'M
preston that the new administration
contemplated its discontinuance. That
| impression has been corrected and l
anticipate heavy enrolment next
year.
".The Washington-Philad New
York City trip is the great incentive
for enlistment and endeavor in the
Junior Contests. The Buckeye Corn
| Special Tour must be continued to
maintain interest in the Junior Con-
tests.
This comment is made by Mr.
Riddle upon the prospects for this
years tour, 81 thought we had reach
ed the climax of sightseeing and en-
ltertainment in last years itinerary
but this years has it beaten by 9
mile. l am delighted by the pros.

Riddle, the director of the Buckeye
Corn Special Tour, Governor Willis
makes this comment-"I most highly
commend the Washington trip with
Ohio's young corn growers and breat
bakers. It is one of the most In
teresting trips of similar scope tina

Ridicule may be an evidence of wit
or bitterness and may crafty little
mind or an ungenerous temper, but Is
no test Of reason, truth or manhood.
Ridicule, besides being conscious and
unconscious, may also be indirect as
well as direct, negative as well as
positive, paralyzing as well as anus
ing. And myriad in number and kind
are the ridiculous suggestions made
and being made by the enemies and
victims of the mail order concerns in
the hope Of stopping their onward
march of progress.
Do merchants always appreciate
their advantage? Would friend of
the merchant or dealer have sent his
first order to a stranger who showed
pictures instead of goods. who talked
on paper instead Of face to face. who
demanded pay in advance instead of
allowing a more unlimited credit had
the merchant improved his advan-
tages?
Ought to Emulate Rivals.
1t would seem that after one expe-
rience Of long delays, quite common
and to a great extent unavoidable in
trading with mail order houses. after
one experience of putting things to-
gether for himself, after one expe-
rience of waiting for missing part,
the friend would not have taken the
trouble to order by mail from a stran-
ger had the local merchant or dealer
always improved his opportunities.
Everything that happens to us leaves
some trace behind it; everything con-
tributes imperceptibly to form us. Yet
often it is dangerous to take strict
account of that, for either we grow
proud and negligent or downcast and
dispirited. and both are equally in
| furious in their consequences. Always
the safe plan is to do the task which
lies nearest us and which will augur
for our best interests and those of
| others.
! If success can be attained by the re-
tail mail order houses. working under
| disadvantages. why cannot the local
merchant. who has none of these dis
advantages. succeed? He can by tmi-
tating their methods and practices. by
| allowing undisturbed inspection OF
goods and by polite and courteous
treatment of all visitors to his store,
thus creating new customers and con-
| tinuing to supply old ones.
