Cheap Power

great boon to irrigation in this country is expected
in the promised reduction of the cost of electricity pow
for irrigation purposes The recent sale Of the Idaho
Oregon Light Power Company to the Bondholders Com
mee, has taken that of the hands of Court
Receiver and the company goaded by danger of
petition in this territory by another company said to be-
long the power trust doing everything possible to
any for competition and thereby keep their
field to themselves
The action of the company is very favorable to the
residents of this section First the reduction in the price
of electricity great and direct benefit all the people
of the community in immediate saving in operating
running expense Second the keeping out of duplicate
lines and plants will be probably greater saving in the
long rum for competition of this kind said be impos-
sibe OF long endurance and company will eventually
be compelled to sell the other And when the con-
sodation comes the remaining company will have vall-
alton of twice what it should be- thus compelling the
of electric energy pay interest maintenance and profits
double capitalization.
This section of the country s practically speaking an
irrigated country Without irrigation the land is little bet
ter than sagebrush With irrigation however, the
land becomes the most fertile and productive section
in the west. We have a world of water--countess small
streams besides the whole of the Snake river Conse-
quenty the only remaining factor is to get the water on
the land And it is here that electric energy PLAYS great
part
Already there is large amount of electric power ut-
lied for pumping irrigation The present electric
rate is high, and many farmers and irrigation COM
panes have laid plans for have installed other kinds of
power for pumping purposes But with electric power re-
duced to reasonable figure there will he little other pow
used And much power will be used than at pres.
ent.
The Idaho Oregon Light Power company owns one
OF the finest power sites in the west The OK Bow Tunnel
and Power se when completed, will produce vast a.
mount power, and by the right kind of cooperation be-
tween the company and the power users be utilized
and at the same time the country will greatly profit by
having electric power for irrigation purposes at figure
that will allow its unlimited use.

Corn has increased from $333,9os
In 1913 to $i,759,lO0 in 1914.
Wheat has increased from $479,25o

Oats has increased from $3.50 IN
1913 to $a.s00.l74 In 1914.
Beef has increased from S264 ,6st

Or the exports in your products
has increased from s9,s72,57s to $50,

pose that you will get your share Of
that money!
Don't you know that the wave Of
unparalleled prosperity which Is now

made over night as a result of the
flight of Bethlehem Steel common

With the Essayists.

OF all the displays of art the essay
is the most indefinable, the most sub
tie, because it has no scheme. no pro-
gram.
It does not set out to narrate or to
prove: 1t has no dramatic purpose, no
imaginative theme; its essence is q
sympathetic self-revelation, just as in
talk a man may speak frankly Ct his
own experiences and feelings, and yet
avoid any suspicion OF egotism, If his
condolences are designed to illustrate
the thoughts of others rather than to
provide a contrast and self-glorifica-
ton.
The essayist gives rather than
claims; he compares rather than pa
rades. He Is led by his interest il
others to be interested in himself, and
it is as a man rather than as an indi-
vidual that he takes the stage.
He must be surprised at the discov-
cries he makes about himself, rather
than complacent; he must condone his
own discrepancies rather than exult
in them.

CHAPTER XVII.
Chicken, or Steak?

Chicken, or Steak7
On the outbreak of bysone rude
ness between the United States ana
Spain, one free and entirely uncurbeo
METROPOLITAN paper, unable to ade-
quately express its violent emotions
on the subject, utilized it's whole front
page with the one word "War!" print
ed in red ink.
Now, however, the free and entirely
uncurbed, having risen most glorlously
in the past to every emergency no
matter how great, positively doun'
dered in the very wealth Ct it's oppor-
tunities.
Saturday night, however, saw no
late extras. The "story" was too Dig
to touch without something more tan
CHILE than the word of even so sub
stantial a man as Gerald Fosland; and
long before any of the twelve eager
Young gentlemen had reached the or
fee. the scout brigade, hundreds
strong, were shifting over every trail
and yelping over every scent.
Until three o'clock in the morning
every newspaper Office in New York
was a scene of violent gloom. Inc
worlds biggest sensation was in those
offices, and they couldn't touch 1t with
a pair of tongs! The deterrent was
that the interests involved were so
large that one might as we'll sit on
key of gunpowder and light 1t, as to
make the slightest error. The gentle.
men mentioned as the organizers OF
the International Transportation com
pany collectively owned about all the
money and all the power and all the
law in the gloriously independent
United States of America; and II they
cot together on any one subject, such
as the squashing Of newspaper, for
instance, something calm and impress
sive was likely to happen. On the
other hand, If the interesting story
the free and entirely uncurbed had In
it's possession were true, the squash
ing would be reversed, and the free
ness and entirely indebtedness would
be still more firmly seated than ever,
which is the palladium Of our national
liberties; and heaven be good to US.
