1 PRESIDENT ENJOYS BATTLE WITH SEA ON VACATION TRIP Puts Into Harbor on Martha's Vineyard Sunday When Rain Squall Strikes En Route With President Roosevelt, at Sea, June 19.—(?)—It is one fight after another with President Roose- velt but his happy face early Monday was testimony he liked battling the seas as well, if not better, than con- gress, Forced into Edgartown on Marthas Vineyard island late Sunday by a growling storm, Roosevelt and his soughty crew of five were up at 5 a. m., Monday pointing their sailing schooner again to sea with Province- town on the tip of Cape Cod as their goal of 80 miles for the day. Throughout the night the skippers of accompanying destroyers and pow- er craft carrying newspapermen stu- died the unsteady weather and de- bated whether the president sailor should go outside or inside the cape. He was in a position to do either and his chart pointed outward. Anxious to be on his limited voy- age northward, “Skipper” Roosevelt pointed the Amberjack II out of the sheltered harbor at Edgartown before the sun was barely over the cloudy horizon. He raced into Edgartown, to the re- lief of his trailing armada of navy and newspapermen late Sunday as a whipping northwest wind carried with it rain and threats of a severe squall. Nantucket had been the goal. Crows Depopulated By Stanley Hunters Stanley, N. D., June 19.—()—One thousand six hundred and twenty-four crows have been killed, at least that many of their eggs destroyed and 77 hawks and 55 magpies also met death as the result of a crow hunt which has been in progress nere since April 29th. ‘The hunters were divided into two teams, the “Seek ’Ems,” headed by Henry Arnold, and the “Smackers” led by Perry H. Colvert. The “Seck Ems” brought down 995 crows to 634 for the “Smackera” and as a consequence the former group is to be treated by the latter. $$ $$? i Weather Report | VSS hk hte eli id atta FORECAST For Bismarck and _ vicinity: and cooler tonight and Tuesday.

MONDAY Here Is One of Uncle Sam’s Giant Power Plants United States Is Entering Third Year of Third Decade of Electrical Period Editor's Note: This 1s the first of six stories on Power, its rise and its meaning as a national is- sue to every citizen. i BY WILLIS THORNTON Washington, June 19.—As the Unit- ed States enters the third year of the third decade of the Electrical Era, revolutionary plans are afoot to make electricity serve even more complete- @|ly the common man. The huge proj- ects now under way or planned by the government are like four mammoth corner-posts for building a new elec- trical era, new in conception, new in scope, which may well transform life in the United States within a few years. First in the public eye is Muscle Shoals. There the government will soon launch its first superpower sys- tem, generating perhaps a million horsepower as a mere by-product in @ grandiose scheme for unified social and industrial development of prac- tically the whole southeastern corner of the country. Boulder Dam, 18 months ahead of schedule, may by 1936 be distributing irrigation waters and between half a million and a million horsepower to the southwest. With the Taxpayers’ Money A mammoth international naviga- tion and power project for the St. Lawrence area in the northeast awaits only an agreement with Canada. Be- sides making the Great Lakes an “At- lantic Seacoast,” this would create another two million horsepower to divide between the United States and Canada. And for the northwest the admin- istration plans a gigantic project in- cluding several dams on the Columbia river to bring out part of the 3,400,- 000 horsepower now rushing unhar- nessed to the Pacific. All this is going to take a little matter of $2,000,000,000 of the tax- payers’ money. Much of it should come back to the government from sale of power and other income if plans work out, but for the present it is using taxpayers’ money on a grand scale. Why? It is because the government looks at these projects as more than mere electrical units. That is the revolu- oe eaten mOLTIT TT ye Giant generators at the Muscle Shoals plant. . . . Many more of them are to be installed to increase the total of unharnessed horsepower. Control of Power at Stake In ‘Electric Era’ Beginning defense, and the first great regional der Dam, flood control, irrigation. On the St. Lawrence, the opening of the interior of a continent to ocean traf- fic. On the Columbia, navigation and irrigation, “On all these objectives,” Senator George W. Norris told the writer, “the government has spent hundreds of millions for years without hope of re- turn. Everybody agreed that irriga- tion, flood control, navigation im- provement were proper government functions, “But all these functions are best attained by building such dams as these, with the added benefit that the government now stands to get its money back through sale of power, and in addition will set an example to states for similar work; as well as establish a yardstick by which rates and service of privately-owned util- ities may be gauged.” | A Lusty Infant Such gigantic projects are not set up without changing the aspect of the whole power industry. A rather | young industry, too, only 30 years old. During those three decades produc- tion of electricity has risen from two billion to 90 billion kilowatts, and the number of people who bought this power has risen from 500,000 to nearly 25,000,000. | At least 75,000,000 Americans live in homes served by electricity. The future aims to make electricity so | cheap and so universal that the other | 50,000,000 will have it, too. Completion of all the hydro-elec- |tric projects now building will put |the United States well ahead of any |country in the world in developed water power. Yet, ause there is |@ potential horsepower, of 38,000,000 |lurking in the country’s waters, less |than 40 per cent of that total will have been harnessed, even when Present projects are completed. Today only 41 per cent of our elec- tricity is produced by water power, reports the Geological Survey. But the national eye is fixed on water power for the future, despite the fact that the use of coal, oil and gas in generating power grows more efficient each year. Bigger and Better In addition to the federal projects, Seattle's municipal plant is complet- ing an 118,000 kilowatt hydro project at Diablo, and the Rocky Mountain Power company nears operation of the 112-kilowatt hydro plant at Flat- men.

Grave charges have been made that great power interests have tried to block the St. Lawrence develop- ment, and abused their lease at Mus- cle Shoals in such a way as to dis- credit the government project and perhaps even damage its equipment. Test cases determining the rights of the federal government to regulate hydro power are pending. State utility regulation is getting @ thorough overhauling. Water power struggles with steam as the future source of electricity. And now the government itself em- barks on a series of gigantic projects which will directly affect the future of power. ‘These changes, taken together, mean no less than a new Electrical Era, which will affect every American now alive, and millions unborn. What of the Future? That new flood of power, flowing as freely as water through intercon- necting systems, should mean greater freedom, better means of living for the common man in America. The Pressure of the times, the certainty of government entry into the field, the increasing amount and effective- ness of regulation, and the stronger realization of public responsibility on the part of the utilities, are all unit- ing to insure that the benefits of this new Electrical Era will be widely dis- tributed. This view is confirmed by George B. Cortelyou, head of the Edison Elec- tric Institute, which represents 75 per cent of the electric power industry. “The whole trend of technical de- velopment,” says Cortelyou, “seems to confirm the general impression that electricity is only on the threshold of its real growth and service to man.” Men’s clothing industry is the sec- ond largest in New York; women's garment industry ranks first. the price of a four. featured.

Trade Agreement Will Be Aimed At Higher Prices for Hogs on Hoof Washington, June 19.—()—Admin- istrators of the farm adjustment act said Saturday that representatives of the packing industry are preparing trade agreements aimed to obtain higher prices for hogs and that they will be submitted soon for approval by Secretary Wallace. It was the first definite announce- ment of progress in application of thy’ act to corn and hogs. Administration of the two commodities is linked to- gether because corn is principally produced as feed for swine. The announcement was made by Guy C. Shepard, chief of meat pro- cessing, who is conducting negotia- tions with packing houses in formu- lating the agreements which may take the form of paying higher prices for medium weight hogs. This program would discourage production of heavy swine and thus tend to reduce the aggregate ton- nage of hog products, particularly lard, of which there is a growing sur- plus, partly due to a sharp falling off in exports. fractured skull.
