article. There is q more valuable
lesson In 1t for a good many people
this year. Too many people in this
land of the free have been listening
to idle talk about the wrongs done
by the trusts, and have magnified
those wrongs until they think they
are justified in hampering or destroy
ing everything that operates on a
large and economical scale. Too
many people believe everything they
hear ABOUT the dishonesty. of their
neighborS and business associates or
any companies that unite their
forces to do something on larger
scale. People should remember that
there Is good IN all things, and that
they should preserve all that is good
and be careful about destroying what
somebody tells them is bad. II peo-
pie will only do their own thinking
and Judge company or an individ-
ual or an institution by its merits,
weighing the good 1t does and the
harm 1t does il any, If this article
helps to get people to do that, 1t will
be worth more to them than 1t is as
. guide in matters Of power and

ELECTRIC HEAT.
ING NOT A SUCCESS
Continued from page one

ing the energy in Snake river, no
body could answer the Question as
to what PEOPLE would do for heat
during the cold snaps when ice
gorged in the river and put the plant
temporarily out of commission. That
question does not worry anybody
now Every cent they might have
invested in the generating plant, the
transmission lines and the heating
apparatus in their buildings would
have been lost, because they cannot
afford to pay the, enormous tolls OF
seven to ten times the cost or Keep
ing coal fires.
Not Enough Power for All
But that is not the latest bad news
that has come to light regarding the
future of electricity in the valley.
After all the speculative statements
that have been made about the
amount of power that can be devel-
oped along Snake river, careful
summing up of all the power that
can be developed with the river flow
ing as 1t is, and with the present
knowledge of how to harness and
generate electrical energy, it would
be impossible to produce enough to
supply light and power to the present
poulaNon in the valley saying nothing
of the great increase of population
that is expected to come.
Science May Find Way
But l believe that such progress
will be made in these matters that
things that are not considered FEAST
BILE now, will be done in future years
Places that are not now regarded as
practical power sites may generate
power and light for the next genera
ton. But electrical heating of
houses and Offices Is not success
yet, and it is not sane thing for a
community to build power plant
with any faith in it's breaking the
coal famine.
Outside Parties Grumbling
A great deal is being said these
days against the power companies
They are being charged with being
monopolistic and responsible for a
terrible amount of wrongs. But ]
do not hear any of these complaints
coming from people who are using
electric light or power. The COM
plants come from people who live
where they cannot secure it, and who
are not affected one way or the other
by the power company's transactions
excepting that the power companies
help to pay the taxes and do not
seem to increase the cost of admin
istering the local government because
they are law-abiding and are never
complained against for being dis
orderly or for disturbing what does
not belong to them.
