WHERE COMMON SENSE RULES
Electrical Development Causing Agri.
cultural Expansion.

In all the west, Yakima has come to
mean fine fruit and big profits. 1t
stands out as fitting illustration of
what can be accomplished by mixing
brains, energy, water, climate and soil.
Yakima, or that section of the coun-
try extending from North Yakima to
Walla Waila, is an exceptionally fine
farming and orchard district in the
southeastern corner of Washington
just east of the Cascade mountains
This section is served by the Pacific
Power and Light company and pump
ing for irrigation forms an important
part of the Companies business. The
power system provides fine illus
tration of one designed to meet the
power and light demands of rapidly
growing farming community.
Several developments are connected
making complete distribution sys-
TEN serving a population of upwards
of 100000. There are 80 towns under
the system with an average population
of $500 each and a rural population
of more than 5000.
In this whole system there are 800
miles of primary lines with $4,000
voltage, and 500 miles of distribution
lines with $500 voltage.
The main power plant for this sys-
tenn is at Natchez, near the mountain
range. The water comes from Mt
Rainier, that source of so much power
and life in the northwest From its
starting point in the snow-capped
mountains the water is first used for
generating power; it is then turned
loose to be used again for irrigation
in the gardens orchards and fields
below.
There is no finer illustration any
where of the combination of the work
of God and man. The magnificent or
chards and gardens, made possible in
this way, are source of pride to
the entire country.
In this day of the back to the farm"
propaganda; in this day of earnest
search for the cause of the high cost
of living, there could not be more prof
liable study than this Yakima dis
trict in the southeastern corner of
Washington.
Let it be noted right at the begin
ming that there are no swaddling
clothes rules here for power and light
companies such as it is proposed to
set up in Idaho. In Washington the
power companies are permitted to
send out 5000 volts on its distribua-
ton lines without being subjected to
aggravating and unnecessary restric-
tions coupled with heavy additional
expense. II is fair to assume that the
development and prosperity that have
come to Yakima are due in large
measure to the liberal treatment ac-
corded the power and light company
that serves the section
In idahe such fine developments
viii be retarded il not made impos.
sibie altogether, IL the restrictive rules
proposed by the telephone and rail
road companies find favor with the
public utilities commission

GRAHAM TAKES OATH
Twin Fall Man Assumes Dnties Nor.
day on Utilities mission.

Commissioner John w. Graham. au-
pointed by Governor Haines 10 sue
coed Drew W. Standrod, of Pocatello,
resigned, assumed his duties On the
public utilities commission today His
commission has been issued and he
took the oath of office paying the nee
essary fee to the secretary of state
Commissioner Graham is appointed
for a term of four years or the balance
of the uneXpired term of Judge Stand
rod
Commissioner Graham said that it
would no doubt take him some time TO
familiarize himself with the work of
the department and the matters pend
ing before it, He discussed in a gem
eral way the work of the commission.
That Commissioner Graham is in sym
patty with the work of the commits
sion is well known. 1t was also APP
parent from the conversation with
him that he is in harmony with the
intent of the law in creating the COM
mission and the other members of the
commission in enforcing it.
Il was able to close up my business
and legal affairs at Twin Falls in
time to enable me to take over the du-
llSS VI pubilt utlillito
by today said Commissioner Graham
this morning. Il am now ready to
proceed with those duties but will
familiarize myself with the matters
pending before it and the work to be
taken up as rapidly as possible
Commissioner Graham was among
the applicants two years ago who APP
piled to Governor Haines for appoint
ment to the commission after the pas
sage of the public utilities act. At
that time as we'll as at the present
time he had the strongest kinds of in
dorsements. After the resignation of
Commissioner Standrod, Governor
Haines reviewed the list of applicants
to succeed him and decided on Com
missioner Graham. AS Twin Falls and
the Twin Falls territory is and has
been greatly interested in the work of
the commission owing to the fact that
it is an extensive electrical field the
fact that the appointment went to
that county met with general satisfac-
tion there.
The legal end of the commissions
work will be largely overseen by Com
missioner Graham He is is the only
attorney on the commission and as
Judge Standrod had charge of the le-
gal questions presented, Commission
er Graham, succeeding him, also sue
ceeded to them.-Capital News.

without jar. They came back to
their home town at the end Of two
weeks, buoyant, hopeful and happy.
