SINNOT WORKS FOR
NITRATE PLANT

Representative Sinnott, Of Oregon.
has introduced q bill In the house ap-
propriating $40, 600 for an Investigation
by army engineers Of the power possi-
bilities at Cello Falls, on the Columbia
river in Oregon, and the practicablitiy
of establishing there great plan for
the production of nitrates.
There has been much interest in the
subject of nitrate production at this
session, and congress is being educated
in this need more at this time than
ever before. This comes in large part
from the war situation, which has
brought home the difficulties that would
be encountered in the event of war in
securing an adequate supply OF powder
and explosives.
The nitrate plant idea has CONNER
cial side also, as II would be in position
to supply immense quantities OF fertil-
izer and by affecting reduction in fer
tilizer prices tend to promote agricul-
ture.
Witnesses who have testified before
committees of congress on the subject
have mentioned three locations where
power could be developed in such guam
tity and under such conditions as to
stand first in the field for consideration.
There are Mussel Shoals. on the Ten
nessee river in Alabama, Priest Rapids
on the Columbia in Washington. AND
the Cello project on the Columbia in

Ammunition Mailed, Trouble Follows

The box. alleged to have contained
shot gun and ammunition. which was
shipped by parcel post from this city
to Rev. w. s. Nichol at Winlock,
Wash., was delivered to the local post
Office by Mrs. M. C. Coons, the mother
in-law of Rev. Nchol, the evangelist,
who is reported to have sent for the
gun following trouble in which he had
become involved following alleged Bit
ter personalities with respect to cer-
tain Winlock residents. The evangel-
ist, known here as DR.. NichoI, was
formerly engaged in the drug business
and later in real estate transactions.
u had letter from DR.. Nichol, 4"
says Mrs. Coons, ''and he merely IN
structed me to send the gun, which
was already boxed. / did not make
any investigation. but shipped the box,
already nailed up. as instructed. II
there was any ammunition in the box
didn't know anything about 1t. don't
think anything will come of the mat
ter; for if there were cartridges IN the
box, it was because of ignorance on
the part of ALL"
Postmaster Reavis states that the
box was delivered at the office with no
other exploration than that it con-
tanned merchandise, and that no at
tempt was made to investigate it.
