Oregon May Block Plans
of Priest River Project

PORTLAND.-The state fish COM
mission will oppose the construction
of the Priest River dam on the Column
bia on the grounds that it will inter
fere with fish propagation.
Gov. Pierce was asked to have the
state attorney general start injunc-
ton proceedings to prevent the con-
struction Of the dam, following agree
ment of the fish commissioners on
such program.
The commission takes the stand
that no suitable fish ladder has yet
been devised to carry fish over a
dam 80 feet high, as projected.
Two-thirds Of the spawning grounds
for salmon in the Columbia River
is above Priest Rapids.
The Oregon commission, therefore,
contends that the salmon fishing in
dustry Of the Columbia-one of the
great industries of the Pacific North
west-will be jeopardized if the pro-
posed dam is built.
The dam would call for an expendi-
ture Of approximately $14,O0O,O0O,
while the entire Priest Rapids project
would cost nearly $5O,000,OOO. 1t is
being planned by the General Electric
Co. for combined irrigation, reclama-
ton and power development.

AUTOMOBILES AND RAILROADS

When 40 per cent OF the mileage OF
a railroad system is doing only 8 per
cent OF Its volume Of business there
seems to be something radically
wrong. That is the situation of the

1000 Of its 2,450 miles Of track.
This trackage is all on branch lines.
which used to have monopoly Of the
traffic from hamlets to the main stem.
The bulk OF such hauling now Is done
by automobiles and motor trucks. The
railroad itself, by a newly organized
subsidiary, would endeavor to COM
pete for this trade, and by cutting
down present overhead would save its
stockholders money.
Such changes could not be made
without the consent of the stockhold-
ers, the federal treasury, which holds
$40,OOO,OOO Of the roads bonds, and
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
1t broad merits, however, are so pat
emit, irrespective Of details Of the new
financing involved, that something OF
the sort may be expected to come to
pass.
For this there is precedent in the
sanction given by the Commerce Com.

Good Poultry Houses

What every poultry producer should
know about the construction of poul-
try houses is told In a new bulletin on
Washington Poultry Houses" just
issued by the experiment station of
the agricultural college at the State
College of Washington.
Besides the general principles of
construction it gives detailed descrip-
lions of poultry houses in the state,
especially the laying houses at the
college and at the Western Washing
ton experiment station at Puyallup.
The bulletin was prepared in COOP

OF the Western Washington station,

Extension Specialist w. d. Buchanan
of the college, and L. ]. Smith, agri-
cultural engineer for the main expert

authors. THE type of house used Is
not important so long as 1t meets all
of the requirements of good housing.
Three distinct types are here shown.
Each of them Is, or may be made, suit
able to any section Of the state, yet
each one as planned ia better fitted to
some section of the state or to some
special flock conditions than any OF

Radio the Greatest Educator
In Music Famous SINGER
By MARY ELLIS

New York.-As an artist I do not
fear the encroachments of radio, for
l see in radio the greatest educator
of musical taste that the world has
ever known. This is q recent convic-
ton.
In every operate or theatrical per-
Torrance there is a moment of sus-
pense, of crisis, and when it is past,
everyone breathes more easily. The
group upon the stage, by voice and
action, sends out to the audience. a
plea for approval, for enthusiasm.
There is moment of suspense. Then
the responsive roar Of approval fires
the artist to heights of achievement,
forgetting all self in his performance.
had always considered this splen-
did response necessary to inspired
singing. have wondered how an
artist, singing over the radio, could
achieve it. And ! have learned
curious thing. 1t is that there is a
very real and thrilling telepathic
communication between the audience
and the singer and this is independ-
ent of sound or movement on the
part of the audience. If the audience
sat still, without applause or gesture,
but trimming with approval, the art
list, l am convinced, would still feel
the vast and sympathetic response.
1t is this telepathic response that
the artist gets in singing over the
radio. What I had at first thought
of necessity cold, mechanical ner-
Torrance, / realize now is accom-
panied strangely by real and close
sympathy between the singer and
his unseen audience.
Never has this spiritual reaction
to radio music impressed me so as
on last New Years night when John
Mccormack and Lucre1ia Bori broad
casted their beautiful singing to the
entire country. ] was about to go on

He foresees further tremendous
