giant Bonneville Dam Packs Plenty Of Punch But
Officials In Charge Are Puzzled Over Power Sale
Lack OF Outlets For
Electricity Is
Big Problem

BONNEVILLE. Ore.-The first
units in what will ultimately be
the greatest public power project
In America are all set up and
ready to so. They have every
thing they need-except custom
ers.
Which is to say that the great
Bonneville dam project on the Co.
lumbia river is running into a
certain amount of sales resistance.
The authorities in charge don't
think that this will last very long
or be very serious, but for the
moment, at least. the project is
troubled by lack Of outlets for the
electric pocer it is generating.
MARKET TO GROW
Two ,000-kilowatt generators
have been installed at Bonneville.
Two more have been authorized
and appropriated for. Eventually
there will be 10, with total out
put Of 100000 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 southwark to Eugene,
Ore, which already has a publicly
owned power system. and shooting
another line up into Washington
to the Tacoma 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 distrib-
ute it to its members. Sometimes
a county will form a district, or
a group Of counties.
DISTRICT DILEMMA
In Oregon, until recently. 1t was
practically impossible under the
law to form such public utility
district at all. The law permitted
1t, but imposed certain restrictions
such as the provision that, If
one township or other unit in
proposed group should vote against
the proposition the district could
not be created, even II all the
other units favored 1t.
This law was slightly liberalized
by the state legislature this past
winter, but the Bonneville authori-
ties are still somewhat pessimistic
about 1t.
In Washington, IA districts re-

WASHINGTON, April Lone OF
the ways to win war is to lose 1t,
and certain bands Of Indians now
are cashing in on such loss.
Some of the best stories surviving
from the twirling twenties arose
from the division of spells from sale
of Indian oil lands in Oklahoma.
Hundreds of Indians found them
selves wealthy overnight from oil
leases. Earlier they had been driven
out of the sunny south of Georgia
and Alabama to be deposited on the
near desert stretches of sections OF
Oklahoma.
When oil was hit they cluttered
up the highways with rich cars and
shiny hearses, and of course there
were few fortune-hunting wo-
men eager to marry befuddled
red man to get nip Of his fortune.
Present day divisions are on a
lesser scale. Congress and the In
dian office took over control of the
big money, but even now there are
some nice pies to be cut.

Only part of the money will be

the cut is likely to be two or three
thousand dollars apiece, although
the terms of division have not yet
been written.

1t took go years to decide it, but

Indian claim for $4,500.000 for the
part of their reservation occupied
by the Arapahoes. Each of the
1,190 Shoshoni Indians on the
Wind River will get So, $50, which
is nice money. That also leaves
some for future Shoshonis.

OF OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG

SEATTLE, April Alaska is
land of opportunity for young men
with initiative and moderate
amount of capital, T. S. McDougal,
veteran Alaska mining man said
here.
"If young man is willing to work
and use his brain, I do not know
of any place where opportunities
are greater, but it is advisable that
the young man have some capital, .
said McDougal
More roads and more airplane
landing fields are among the most
crying needs of the great Territory.
McDougal said the prospects are
good for the success of the Matanus-
ka colony if properly developed.
Military defense should not be
forgotten as Alaska is at the mercy
of a hostile foreign nation" con-
cluded McDougal.

WILHELMSHAvEN, April 1.
Adolf Hitler today warned
that If she is heading for war
with Germany, he will not hesi-
tate to cancel their Naval Ac-
cord of 1885.
Hitler's speech lasted one hour
and five minutes and was de-
livered to $4,000 people gathered
at this North Sea naval base
TO hear his discussion in which
ne replied TO the British French
pledge to aid Poland in ease of
attack.
WARNS POLAND
Hitler warned Poland direetIg.i
saying: "He who is willing to pull
the chestnuts out of the fire for
others must expect to get burned"
Says Desired Peace
Further. Hitler said, he had once
concluded q naval agreement with
Great Britain with the fervent de-
sire that Germany and Great Brit
ain might never have war again.
IF, however" Hitler said. THAT
wish does not exist on the other
side, then the practical pre-condi-
lions for concluding such a treaty
have vanished
Hitler also said: Il am so con-
WINGED that what l did in Czecho-
slovakia and Memel was right, that
determed three weeks ago to

Convention, The Convention Of
Peace"
"Never Again"
Germany will resolutely resist
all attempts at enlightenment. The
regime of prewar days had one
fault; 1t knew the develish plan of
encircling was for attacking us, yet
it lacked the power or the will to
ward 1t off and it permitted things
to advance 10 catastrophe and
no power in the world can ever
force us again to our knees"
Hitler heaped derision upon Great
Britain. France, and Democracies
in general, but he made no posi-
tive statements as to his inten-
lions with reference to them.

derhooks for more than an hour to

Henderson Leaf Market
Great Asset, Allen Says

have learned to expect This takes
advertising. Much advertising can
be and is done by means of radio,
newspapers, signs and direct mail;
however, one method of advertising
that every person in Henderson can
help with, and method which is
not done to the proper extent now,
is believing in the Henderson tobac-
co market, knowing it is the best and
that it has future of much growth
and prosperousness, and telling your
friends in other cities and towns
and in the various counties of this
fact
We in Henderson have something
to offer those in the county and in
the surrounding territory. 1t is our
duty and we should consider it
friendly privilege, to advertise our
city, by word of mouth and by
every other conceivable means and
let those who do not know of the
many advantages Henderson offers.
The Henderson market not only
has maintained a high price aver
ing that time, all other conveniences
and facilities for trading have grown
and developed to the extent that
now, in 1889, Henderson can offer
at reasonable prices any merchan-
disc, any household needs, clothes,
furniture, medicines, and supplies
that anyone could possibly need.
Tell your friends of this. It's all
true; it's all something to be proud
why not let the other person know
of it. By doing this, you too, can
share in making Henderson and the
Henderson tobacco market larger,
more modern and a better place I'm
which to live. It's very simple
formula "first believe, yourself; then
tell OtherS'
