HYDRO ELECTRIC POWER IN KENAI
i
Flectric power in this age and in future years is the force .
that will determine the growth of industries and the
development of cities as coal and steam did in the last
century.
Coal can generate electric power, and is generating it
m large amounts where water is not available, but electri
city generated by water falls is by long odds the most1,
economical power that man has devised.
The Kenai peninsula is fortunate in the natural ad- n
■vantages it offers in the field of hydro electric deyelop- !<
ments. The well distributed rainfall and the mild winters 5
m these parts make all year operations possible and eco- i
nomical. Large numbers of mountain lakes and box can- <
yoM afford additional possibilities for power sites, after L
the direct facilities have been utilized.
^ *s eas^y within the bounds of conversatism to say <
that the total possibilities of hydro electric development s
in the Kenai peninsula exceeds 500,000 horse power—pro- 1
bably twice that amount.
The mills and industries that such an amount of (
powder will drive would make the Kenai peninsula one of
the world’s busiest centers of manufacture and industry,
with Seward as its hub. t
FOUL WORK OF REDS
Attempts of anarchists to blow up and wreck trains con- '
veying members of the American Legion on their jour- i<
neys thru Europe are added evidences of the sinister men- j
ace to civilization which is presented by the Reds. j
Presumably these dastardly attempts at wholesale as
sassination were inspired by resentment over the execu- 1
tion of Sacco annd Vanzetti. But back of it lies the in
famous doctrine of class hatred and all that it implies.
.That men should attempt, under any circumstances, i”
to murder fellow beings who could have no possible con
nection with real or fancied grievances shows that there
exists a class of depraved creatures in human form, who :
deserve extermination as enemies of society
Certain Eskimo tribes believe that a person with a
bad temper is possessed by a devil. We sometimes feel
that the Eskimos may be right about it. , '
That young Michigan puglilst who is studying forL
the ministry is probably looking forward to some lively
bouts with Satan.
We have a constitutional right to* the pursuit of hap- <
piness, but no assurance that we shall ever catch up with
it
In Indiana politics the “ins” and the “outs” refer to i
those in and out of jail. <
TALENTED MIST
AND MOTHER RETURN
With the applause of Interior folk
resounding clear to Seward for two
weeks past Vilma Bazant, violinist,
