WASHINGTON STATE
NEWS OF INTEREST.

The total of crops in the Pacific
Northwest gives the enormous sum OF
900, ole, 900 bushels of grain and pota-
toes, and tons of hay Tor units). ana
we're valued on December ! at $751;
So. 900. If to this great sum is added
the value of sugar beets, grass seeds,
fruits. hops, garden truck. peas and
garden seed, huts and other miscel-
laneous crops, the sum would no doubt
equal 1925 200, 900. The dairy products
OF the four states will amount to $780,
Oco 900. while the poultry and eggs are
put at $4,000. 900 for the year as
rough guess. This will amount to
s2e2 .OOe, 900. If to this amount is adj
ed the value of the live stock-sheep,
cattle, hogs and norses-which Is
surely worth $50.O60.000. then we have
$4,000, 600 coming from the farms
and ranches of the four states.

There are &c ,092 .290 fowls in the state.
The poultry and egg crop in year
would buy $4,000 automobiles, or one
for every thirty-five persons in the
state.

tion by inspectors of the state depart
ment of agriculture that the dread
ed potato tuber moth has not found

1t is believed that the raising and
breeding of high grade live stock. such
as horses. cattle, sheep and hogs Will
receive considerable impetus as the
result of the decision of the Washing
ton State Exposition Commission to
nay a liberal portion of the freight
charges on all Washington live stock
which is exhibited at the international
Livestock Show at the San francisco
Exposition in 1915. The commission
will also pay large extra awards to
prize winning stock from the state, in
addition to the regular awards won at
the stock show. The commission
wishes to encourage stock breeding in
this state and to advertise to the world
the high quality of stock now raised
here. This offer to pay part OF the
freight charges on stock together with
the free return offered by the rail-
roads will cut the expense OF exhibit
ing to a minimum. Further "DETAILS
of the awards will be made later.

IsmaIl towns all over the west where
water powers are obtainable for de-
yelopment, and from many Other
towns where steam power would
have to be used.
For several years this little city of
Murray had been served with cleo
trio lights and power by a large pro-
ducing company. but there was water
under tremendous Roadway coming
through that canyon and running
over the bench lands for irrigation.
Very evidently great economy was the
spur, and the city raised $50. 600 and
built this plant.
Arrangements were easily made
with the irrigation water owners to
use the power running 20 waste, and
the house was built In the foothills
two miles from the canyon mouth.
The intake and dam are a half mile
up the canyon. and the fall from the
dam to the turbines is over five hun
dred feet.
From the intake TO the house the
water is conducted through a 80
inch wood staye pipe. There are W
turbines and generators, each OF 600
horsepower. and which can be OPP
Grated as separate units or together.
The current is generated al 1880
volts; stepped up to $500 volts for
transmission over the six miles OF
wires into the city, and there IL is
reduced again TO the proper voltage
for either power or light.
When that little city was buying
its current for street-lighting and wa
ter-pumping the cost was close to
$500 per month. Now that cost Is
entirely cut off. Not one dollar per
month needs TO be charged mp TO that
public service, and although the IT.
come from the citizens for house
lighting and power pays all operating
expense. the rates to them have beer
astoundingly reduced. The lighting
rate has been cut from 10 cents per
kilowatt hour TO IN cents: the rate
for cooking and heating from 5 cents
TO 2 cents. against a former rate of
IA cents. On large, steady quantities
of power. on day-load only. contracts
are offered at less than ] e n per
kilowatt hours. In fact, 100 horse
power can be secured at a fat rate OF
$3.50 per month. AS far as Is known,
no current is offered so oheaply by
any plant. even In the region of tho

Mrs. Hilda Gilbert won for Jack
London, the novelist. a bet of $4,000
when she arrived in San Francisco
Monday, ON the steamer Matsonia.
The wager was made nearly foul
our years ago.
London declared that the average
American girl would not find it diff
fcult to work her way around the
world. A friend disputed the asser-
ton and London selected Mrs. Gil
bert, a neighbor of his near Glen
Ellen. TO prove he was right.
Mrs. Gilbert sailed from New York
on the Lusitania February IS, 1911,
and was TO have four years TO make
the trip eastward TO San Francisco.
She was to do Europe. India, South
Africa. Australia. China. Japan and
Honolulu When she reached San
Francisco she was just FIVE months
ahead of her allotted time. and as

lousy all the conditions of the wage:
She says she is in better health
than when she left New York, has

Moreover, she has several trunks oil
