much satisfaction was expressed by
Interested in the development OF
Wilmington as a port in the success
which attended the trip by Frederick
w Hersey and William T. Budd TO
Reoding and West Chester in search
Of trade for the marine terminals.
This satisfaction was the more
pronounced in view OF a feeling in
some quarters that the terminals
would not receive sufficient business
to pay for their development.
In this connection. point was made
today that Mayor Moore, OF Phila-
delphia. stated in Baltimore yester-
day that every port on the Atlantic
seaboard must look alive to keep
Baltimore from getting too far in
the lead"
Mr.. Hersey is a member OF the

Dor Commission. Mr.. Budd is secre-
tart of the Chamber of Commerce,
which has backed the marine ter
minals from their start. The former

WASHINGTON SIDELIG
National Parks and Water Power Act

Apparently the national park service was asleep at the switch, for the new water power act permits the filing of applications for power sites in the ma tional parks. The power commission consists of the secretaries of war in teriOr and agriculture. Secretary Payne protested to the President, hold ing that the granting of a national park power permit should be only by act of congress. Then came the pledge by Senator Jones.
 The official statement of the na- tional park policy is That the na- tional parks must be maintained in absolutely uniInpaired form for the use of future generations as well as those of your own time" The organic act creating Il e national park service specifics that the purpose of the ma tional parks Is "to conserve the seen cry and the natural and historic ob- jectS and the wild life thercin.'
 Applications for permits, however, have already been filed in Grand Ca non, Yosemite and Sequoia.
 Friends of the national parks have already begun the bOmbardment of congress, the women being especially active. A glance at the list of memo rials, petitions, etc, shows protest from women's organizations from Rhode Island to California.

ACME GARAGE REPRESENTATIVE
Of THE NEW KLAMATH FALLS

In presenting to the people of klamath coun.
ty this special section of The Herald, devoted
exclusively to the Acme Motor company, the
various individuals identified with the construc-
ton of the great garage it owns and the firms
whose lines it carries, we do SO with a sense of
complete satisfaction. The Acme Motor COM
pany Is no ordinary institution. 1t is not merely
a corporation created for the purpose of selling
and repairing trucks, tractors and automobiles.
1t represents more than mere commercialism. 1t
represents and will stand for the new klamath
Falls that is rising around US, the city that is des
tined to be the Mistress of Oregon's Inland
Empire.
The men whose brains conceived and brought
into being the Acme Motor company, and whose
money has made possible this great institution,
are not ordinary men. In distant community
they would be to us outstanding figures, but like
the prophets of old, we look upon what they have
done and are doing as a mere incident, not but
that we value it, but its very proximity dwarfs
its potential possibilities as factor in the up
building of klamath county. As time moves on
and We begin to realize the great benefits this
work of theirs is to city, it will then be seen
that it was due to such men rs these that
