Guarding the mails ... While U. S. Marines are are taught respond quickly in every emergency rarely have they assumed ar unusual task with success than when they suddenly called upon to guard the United States Mails Daring mail robberles had occurred all the United States for some months prior to November 1921 when the Postmaster General called upon President Harding for aid Mail cars or trucks had been robbed at St. Louis Los Angeles Atlanta San Diego and elsewhere and the success of these ven
 lures had ebodened the thieves to make plans for other robberies U Marines were chosen to guard the mails and upward of 2OO0 soldiers soon were on duty at post officers aboard mail trains and trucks establishing
 nationwide system of mail protection Mail robberies ceased immediately In about four months the marines returned to their regular duties Again in the autumn cf 1926 of similar robberies in Illinois Rhode Island New Jersey and other states led to the assignment of approximately the same number of marines to the same task. similar protective network was established at vital points. Mail banditry stopped suddenly, while the soldiers got he situation well in hand in small groups of two three at wideyseparated loca- tons the soldiers maintained remarkable record in guarding the mails against theft. hurried call to expedtonary duty in Nicaragua early in 1927 made it necessary for the marines to turn over this duty to the Post Office Department which promptly established e- fectve means of it's for the guarding of the mails =.

Giant Bonneville Dam Packs Plenty Of Power, But Lacks The Outlets For It
Consumer Units Clog Project
 With Obstacles
Rv NEA Service

By NEA Service
 Bonneville, Ore, May 22.-The first units in what will ultimately be the greatest public power project in America are all set up and ready to go. They have everything they neew-except customers.
 Which is to say that the great Bonneville dam project on the Co- lumbia river is running into cer- tain amount of sales resistance.
 The authorities in charge don't think that this will last very long or be very serious, but for the mo- ment at least, the project is troubled by lack of outlets for the electric power it is generating.
 MARKET
 TO GROW
 Two 46,0O0-kilowatt generators have ben installed at Bonneville. Two more have been authorized and appropriated for. Eventually, there will be 10, with a total output of 460, ,00O kilowatts.
 A pretty good market will be available when public transmission lines now planned or under con- struction are finished. The general plan is to drop line 40-odd miles down river to Portland, sending a spur line southward to Eugene, Ore, which already has publicly -owned power system, and shooting another line up into Washington to the Ta- coma area. But even when these lines are finished, there will be obstacles to hurdle.
 These center principally around the creation of public utility dis tricts. The general plan is for a group of neighboring towns, town ships, and villages to club together to form such a district, which can buy Bonneville power and distribute it to its members. Sometimes district, or a group of counties. DISTRICT
 DILEMMA
 In Oregon, until recently, it was practically impossible under the law to form such public utility district at all. The law permitted it, but im- posed certain restrictions-such as the provision that, if one township or other unit in proposed group should vote against the propositin the district culd not be created, even if all the other units favored it.
 This law was slightly liberalized by the state legislature this past winter, but the Bonneville author ities are still somewhat pessimistic about it.
 In Washington, IA districts re- gently voted on the question of buy ing Bonneville power for public dis tribution. The preivate power com panies campaigned strenuously against it, and the result was 8 50- 50 split, the project losing in seven districts and winning in seven others.
 AS result of all of this, there fore, the number of sales outlets for the Bonneville power is not as large as the Bonneville people would ! wish.
 Robert w. Beck, chief engineer of the Bonneville project, has been discharged by Secretary of the In- terior Harold L. Ickes, who put Frank Banks in his place. Beck
