WATER POWER DEVELOPMENT

The "Age of Electricity' has been brought pcrcepiibly nearer in the United States by the coal strike and the later threatened walk-outs.
 Communities which previously had dis played little OF 100 interest in hydrocecuic power devclopr n6 are looking over their tributary territory with a view to cncow- aging capital investment in enterprises of this nature.
 The fact is recognized by Eastern indus trial leaders that the coal problem has come and is here to stay. Fuel has doubled in price in recent years with every prospect that it win remain up, mo matter what may be the tendency throughout the country later ou toward decreased wages and lower prices.
 In districts coutiuguous to the greatest of the comuy's industrial ccntcrs coal mining must cost more because the fuel beds lie deeper or the working faces are further removed from the shaft. ncccssitot- ing a longer haul underground
 Every increase i'm the cost of mining OF of railroad transportation uarows the dit- .ercutial which previously has operated in avor of coal as against hydroelectric power. Current transports itself and, hanks to recent discoveries transports it- self economically over long distances.
 Time was when it was necessary to take the industry to the source of hydroelectric power; now the power may be carried to he industry even though the latter is re- .aovcd at distance of several hundred niles.
 The Smithsonian Institution estimates that the streams of the United States could -cncratc maximum of 2OO000000 horse power. or this total a surprising propor- ion is in the Pacific Northwest and, par iculmly. in Western Washington and Western Oregon Seattle Times

Dear father thou hast left US,
And thy loss we deeply feel;
There is q sorrow in. our hearts
That time can never heal.
When we gather at evening in our
lonely homes,
We miss thee in thy vacant seat.
And sadly wait for thee to come;
And listen for thy coming feet.
With breaking hearts we watched thy
bark sail DER the -harbors bar.
And away over that unknown sea; {;
We know It will sail in with the eve
ming star
At that port where no tempest can
be.
Farewell, dear father. thou art gone
to thy rest
In that beautiful home of the SOUL l;
Thou hast reached the heavenly man
sions of the blest.
And ages eternal shall roll.
AS a husband he was ever faith

AS fatner he was ever kind and
