The United States Government
Employment Service has recently
established a temporary office at
Kennewick to assist berry growers
in securing pickers, also to assist
those who desire employment in
the berry fields of that section.
The average price to be paid
will be 80 cents per crate for pick
ing with bonus of cents per
crate when the picker remains
throughout the entire season or un-
til voluntarily released. Packing
will be Is cents per crate with a
2a-cent bonus under the same con-
ditions as cover picking.
Any of our readers who may de-
sire work Of this nature should call

ployment Service, Kennewick, care

insufficient business to justify its
continuance has caused the White
Bluffs-Kennewick Auto stage to
pass out of existence. The stage
has been in operation about two
months. With a certain amount
of the travelling public the service
was popular. but there was not
enough of this class of business to
make it pay. Jack King, who man
aged the business, has secured a
good position in Montana and will
leave in short time for that
place. He will take with him the
big Auburn car that was used on
the stage run.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only way to cure catarrhal deafness,
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is
infamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely
closed. Deafness 10 the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases Of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which IL
blood on the mucous surfaces Of the sys-
tenn.

Water Waste and
Labor Capacity

CONTINUED from page l
joyment of peace or the most COM
plete preparedness for undesired
conflict.
More than 40 per cent of the
potential water power of the United
States lies in the comparatively
narrow strip bounded by the Cas-
cade mountains and Sierras in the
east, the Pacific ocean in the west,
Canada in the north, and Mexico
in the south. Some of these water
powers, now unused, are among
the cheapest in the world. Long
distance, high voltage transmission
has almost annihilated distance in
this great western empire.
Development will open to the
west an industrial era of such pos
sibilities as have been almost I'M
!, dreamed of. The fuels available
include natural gas, oil, Ignite
and coal. The coal, reduced to
coke, offers raw material for the
production, by electric smelling
processes, of the carbide extern
sively used for Illuminating pur-
poses. Here at hand are great
deposits of limestone that will fur
nish the lime required to form cal
cium carbide used in the fixation
of nitrogen and the production of
ammonia. At hand, also, are
mountains of phosphate rock await
ing the installation of appliances
to free its content of phosphoric
acid and combine it with ammonia
as a fertiIizing agency at less cost
than any known.
Sodium sulphate, sodium car
Donate, and sodium chloride are
here, the latter offering material
for electro-chemical production of
soaps, bleaching powder, ETC., in
time Of peace and for the making
in wartime Of the deadly chlorine
gas now devastating the trenches
of European battle fields.
Iron deposits are here in album
dance. which, with fuxing and re-
ducing materials at hand and cheap
hydro-electric power as the agency
of reduction, may make the Pacific
coast a competitor with the Ohio
valley in the production Of special
grades of pig iron and the manu-
facture in electrical furnaces of
high grade steels. Also at hand
are the materials for the manu-
facture of such steel alloys as fer
romanganese, ferrochrome, ferro-
silicon, ferrotungsten, ferromolyb-
denum and others. There are rare
metals-barium in the form of
sulphate and carbonate, zinc and
copper, gold and silver-all await
ing the magical touch of the cheap
electrical potentially in our wasted
stream flow.
AS a y-product, and not an un-
important one, of the atmospheric
nitrogen plants, we can produce
cyanide, giving new life and i'm
petus to the mining and produce
ton of precious metals from low
grade ores. In fact, this material
either as a by-product or, from
metallic sodium produced with the
cheap power available, should
make the Pacific coast the logical
distributing center for cyanide used
in gold extraction. Our Alaskan
copper, now shipped as far away
as New Jersey for smelling, may
be cheaply and profitably reduced
and manufactured by electrical
processes on the Pacific coast, and
the same hydro-electric power
which will bring these industries
into existence will afford the en-
ergy for cheapened transportation
of their products over electrified
railways.
