Seven Weeks in Rough Mountain Cou try
Proves no Picnic for Tourneur Players

At six that morning the entire
troupe left by motor for the hills
over $50 miles distant in the fast
ness of the mountains. There they
remained the seven weeks, sleep
ing in wigwams, eating rough food
and living the rugged outdoor life
as the redskins and early settlers
did during the period of the fam

Aspirants to screen fame had
best heed the words of Maurice
Tourneur, famous French produc-
er, whose new special picture, The
Last of the Mohicans," opens soon
at the Oregon theater.
1t is interesting to learn of the
experiences of the actors in this
thrilling story of early American
life, for they all had to endure a
great deal to get the beautiful
scenes and the existing drama
which marks this big picture.
Toufneur himself says, "Co"sid-
er the life before you try to get
in" and to illustrate, he cites the
seven weeks they spent in the big
mountains, and the daily grind at
his studio.
For example, one Monday night
the company toiled until two
O'Clock filming moonlight scenes.

RECLAMATION REPORT
FOR DECEMBER,

Weather conditions were favorable
Tor repair work until December 11th
after which date all work was closed
down except the brushing of canal
banks and the repair of some timber
structures.
The concrete repair work in the
South Canal below Tunnel and
above the first of the seven drops was
compelled, and about three
fourths of the concrete floor between
drops 2 ana of the seven drops was
placed before the weather became too
severe for concrete work. The recon-
struction of the Dry Creek flume on
the Montrose and Delta system was
completed.
A small dragline of 3-S to 1-2 cubic
yard capacity was received on Dec
ember 18th from the Pawling & Har-
nischfeger company of Milwaukee.
Mr.. Thomas B. Hyde, Master Mechan-
ic of the Grand Valley Project erec-
ted the machine and put it in opera
tion on December goth. The dragline
has been working steadily since that
date excavating through some seeped
ground on tHe ~ II Lateral.
The crop census report was compile
ted the forepart of the month, show
ing the total crops raised on the pro-
ject amounting to $3,397 ,493, or about
$4,000 more than was raised in the
season of 1919. The unit prices re-
ceiyed for nearly all crops were less
than those of year ago, but the lar
ger yields and small increase in
acreage made the total value of the
crop above that of a year ago.
Small quantities of water have
been carried in some of the canals
for stock purposes.
At the close of the month a good
snow blanket covers the upper por-
tion of the project, giving good
covering for the winter wheat. At
the Delta end of the project the snow
covering is rather light.
Labor has been plentiful during the
month for all the requirements of the
project and the farm.
Mr.. A. H. Gullickson, Chief Account
ant, was visitor on the project from
November 3Oth to December 1st Mr.
Thomas B. Hyde, Master Mechanic of
the Grand Valley Project, was on the
project from December 14th to 22nd.

Eight o'clock at night about
the busiest place you can find is

Boilers at full pressure, fires

Eight O'Clock in the morning
1t looks more like country
church on Thursday night. Ev-
cry bit as animated.
A difference of only twelve
hours-but it's all the differ
ence between night load and
day load.
Day load, wlen the big slump
comes. is great problem Of the
central station. With tires
banked and generators silenc-
ed, the entire vast equipment
is tied up in a production great
ly reduced.
How to build up day load SO
that the central stations re-
sources may be utilized most
efficiently, and the consumer
himself benefit from the lower
costs?
Not obviously by an increase
In lighting. The solution lies in
greater daytime use of cleo
trio power.
Your morning cup of coffee
made the electric way, your
weekly ironing by electricity,
your daily use of vacuum
cleaner and portable utility
motor. are substantial aids in
swelling the day load.
Household appliances that
are easy on the housewife and
just as easy on the coal pile at
the central station. For as the
load rises the quantity of fuel
needed in generating each ad-
ditional unit of electricity be-
comes smaller. The plant op-
crates with greater efficiency
as 1t approaches capacity pro-
duction.
So when the central station
is campaigning for irons or
grills or washing machines we
can be confident that its in
terest is not in making few
dollars from the sale.
Rather to reduce the dis
parity between day and night
loads, to lower costs and to de-
vote the savings to service
