STATE LOAN AND BONUS
BLANKS ARE NOW READY

Salem, Oregon, September 1st-Spe-
ciaD - Fifty thousand application
blanks for making application for the
Oregon State Loan and Bonus which
was voted to Oregon's ex-service men
by the people last June, are now being
distributed to every part Of the state.
These blank forms upon which the ap-
plicants must establish their eligibility
for the bonus are being sent to Ameri-
can Legion Posts of which there are
104 in the state with the request that
the posts give them to all eligible ex-
service men.
This action was taken by the state
bonus commission in order to save con-
siderable time in getting the bonus and
loan into the hands of the ex-service
men. The initial bond issue of $1,000
600 already is being fioated. Bids are
to be opened October 10th and the com
mission expects to have money ready
by November 1st. BY having the appli-
cations come in early the commission
hopes to have a large number Of checks
ready for distribution the moment the
funds are realized from the bond sale
The commission has taken steps
to interest the bond buying market of
the entire United States. The bonds are
to be sold at par or above and not to
exceed six per cent interest and the
commission expects to sell at an inter-
est rate Of about five and one-half per
cent
The administrative force to handle
this big task of passing upon appli-
cations has already been created in the
U. S. National Bank Bldg. at Salem.
headed by Harry c. Brumbaugh. an
overseas veteran. The Necessary funds
for an energetic administration of the
law have also been provided. Commits
sioners say that the loan feature, which
appeals to a majority Of the ex-service
men, necessarily will be a slower pro-
cess but that the commission will con-
| tinue its past policy of avoiding any
and all avoidable delays.
Only an unexpected suit to test the
constitutionality Of the law will now
prevent payment Of several thousand
claims in November Such a suit has
not been launched by the commissioners
because of their belief in the constitu-
| tionality of the law and failure of the
bonds to sell alone might make a suit
| necessary.
Commander R. E. Crego of the loca
American Legion Post Is in receipt OF
supply of the application blanks snd
is ready to lend assistance to all ex'
service men in this community who may
desire to apply for either bonus OF
| q loan.

A man can exist with very little
thinking And he can remain station
ary in spite of lot Of thinking II that
thinking happens to be basically faulty.
Most people in thinking are like pros
pectors. They keep restlessly and end
lessly on, tapping at the rocks Of ideas
and sitting the sands of inspiration,
Mostly they encounter Improbable
workings, but now and again they
come to the glitter of precious prom
Use. They split an idea and find tri-
umphantly vein Of rich ore, Or they
strike deep with thought into the
sands of inspiration and come upon
nuggets and flakes Of gold which repay
them for years of unrewarded mental
tramping.
And thinking Is always habit. A
man may have a stay at-home mind or
an intellect that jumps over fences
and out Of windows The stay-at-home
mind is apt to give the least trouble
to vex the body least. The venture
some mind leads the body into all sorts
of trials and tests but It is the mind
that gives the world worth while
achievements.
Every man decides for himself wheth.

Pauline Frederick Is Star in
"The Mistress of Shenstone'

The countless thousands who have
read Florence L. Barclays great novel
THE Mistress of Shenstone," will well
come the news that In Its screen adapt
alton by Robertson-Cole, as a super
special vehicle for the sterling emo
tional actress Pauline Frederick, not
fragment Of its atmosphere, or the
delicacy Of its character delineation
has been lost.
Miss Frederick in the role of Lady
Myra Ingleby, is as truly Lady Ingle-
by, as If Mrs Barclay had written the
character about her. Even in her phys
ical appearance, she fits the descrip-
tion of the big -souled English woman
who faces life's tragedies with smile
and at last finds happiness
Indeed, throughout the entire pro-
duction, it is noticeable that Henry
King, the director, has striven and has
succeeded in following closely the book
from which the play was adapted The
cast in support of Miss Frederick is an
excellent one.
The Mistress OF Shenstone' comes to
the Star theater Friday, September q

Boardman to Have Cheese Factory.

Owing to the fact that Boardman is
now producing an abundance of hay
and is finding the marketing Of the
same a slow proposition, a move is on
foot there to establish cheese factory,
so this paper was informed by Sam
Boardman, father of the project, and
booster general Of that community
According to Mr.. Boardman, one OF the
residents on the project is an experien-
ced cheese maker and it is planned to
place him in charge of the factory. or
course the first thing to be done Is to
get cows for the settlers there, and
meeting was to be held at Boardman
today to start the ball rolling. Mr.
Boardman thinks they will have no DIFF
ficulty in getting the cows and when
they have been secured, the problem
of marketing the alfalfa Of that dis
trict will have been solved; the hay will
be turned into milk and the milk into
cheese, and for this product there is al
ways a market We look forward TO
that section becoming one Of the lead
ing cheese producers Of the state, and
as the people there have undertaken to
establish the industry we expect them
to succeed.

STORY Of GREAT CAN,
AD|AN POWER PROJECT
Oregon Journal.)

A demonstration of public hydro
electric development is going on in the
province of Ontario. Canada, which
merits and is receiving the attention
of power experts and similarly ambi-
toned states and provinces every
where
What has happened, briefly, Is the
electrifcation of great province by
public commission. 1t has created the
largest electrical generating and dis
tribution system in the world. 1t now
uses $4,000 horsepower, and is add
ing the new Chippewa plant on the Nj
agara with an initial capacity Of 300,-
600 horsepower and an ultimate ca
pacity Of 100000 horsepower,
Within three years the commission
expects to be serving 100000 horse
power in district bounded by the
ottawa valley on the east, the Detroit
river on the west and from Lake Erie
and Ontario on the south to the regions
north OF Lake Superior. Power, light
and heat are furnished TO 1S1 munich
palties, divided into IL districts. Pow
er is carried from Niagara to Windsor,
a distance of ESQ miles, and the rates
in that city of $4,000 people are said
to be 40 per cent lower than in Detroit
with its million inhabitants, Just across
the international boundary line.
In ottawa the citizens had been pay
ing a private company, which the hy-
dro electric power commission of On
tario took over, Is cents a kilowatt
hour for light and $40 horsepower
Under public operation the charge was
reduced to s25 horsepower for indus
tries and to Z 1-2 cents a kilowatt hour
for light.
Power and light are distributed in
the rural districts. Farm homes are
lighted and silos are filled through the
medium Of electric current. The COM
mission keeps in touch with 20 water
plants and the generating system un-
der its control by the aid of 1000 miles
of private wires.
From a fairly modest beginning the
commission has acquired plant equip
ment valued at S56,923,000, Plants own
ed by constituent municipalities under
the commission are valued at s24,29s,-
$40. The administration Offices and
other buildings are worth $1,000 900.
An investment of s15,000,000 was made
in the development of power by the
commission on the Canadian side OF
Niagara. The assets of the commission
total $lO6, 6oO,0 900.
The story of how the province OF
Ontario became the leading industrial
district of Canada through the impetus
given by publicly developed power is
staggering in the size of the service
rendered and the figures of cost, op-
GRAFTON and return,
In the Columbia basin are 21,000,
00O potential hydro electric horsepower
In oregon the potential horsepower
exceeds 100000, Cello rapids on the
Columbia. If developed would produce
4S0, 600 horsepower. and an additional
320,0 horsepower for eight months of
the year. Some 200,000 horsepower
could be developed at the Cascades OF
the Columbia.
Has anyone sufficient grasp Of the
subject to visualize what would happen
industrially If the ontario plan of pow
er development were applied to the
water power of the Columbia basin?
