Gold Imports.
The gold inflow since the first of the year from
all parts of the world to the United States is
well past half billion dollars Official figures for
eight months ended August 81 show gold imports
of $4o645I,732. In the last two weeks steamers
r.ving this port have brought in upwards of $IS.
100000 exclusive of the gold from Germany the
reparation account.
In the eight months period only $II,oo7,I45
exported from the United States of which went
to Europe, excepting $2,643oI3 which returned
c Sweden after its arrival here because the Swedish
bankers who shipped it had not followed United
States Treasury regulations guarding against receipt
of Soviet gold.
Cotton Spindles.
There were 366I7584 cotton spindes in the Unit

I, the Census Bureau announced last week. OF that
number, 33,o5o.2II spindles operated at some
time during the month, the aggregate number of
spindle hours being 7,3Io,oI6,o3I.
The regular hours of operation per week in the
cotton mills, the report said, vary from fortyeight
in number of States to as high sixty in others.

for during the month of October last
year, the total remittance of proceeds
amounted to only $311,34S.70, while
the total for the Wenatchee- North
shippers was only $S7,624.67. In
other words, Skookum payments to
its Wenatchee and Okanogan valley
units for October exceeded return
for the same period in 1920 by $500.

UNI shippers over the northwest, Oc-
tober 1921, exceeded its returns Oc-
tober 1920 by S490,424.41.
The early fruit money is having its
effect on the economic life of this dis
trict and the entire northwest in the
liquidation Of bank loans, payment of
mercantile credits and the saving to
growers of large sums in interest and
also in the tremendous improvement
in the credit of the growers.
The early returns are due in a large
part to the campaign of education on
the part of the Skookum Packers AS

advertising, draw thousands upon
thousands here for trips into the
mountains, fishers and hunters and

COUNTY ADOPTS
SYSTEMATIC PROGRAM
OF SCHOOL EVENTS
VARIOUS COMMUNITIES WILL
GIVE ENTERTAINING AND IN
STRUCTIVE NUMBERS AT VAR
IOUS SCHOOL HOUSES.

World In order to interest the
general public of Chelan county in the
work of the schools a comprehensive
program of community entertain
n'ents is being planned by County
Superintendent f. C. Bowersox with
the cooperation of the school teach
ing staff of the county.
The entire county has been divided
into communities or districts with a
leader in charge of the programs to
be arranged during the coming win
ter.
1t is proposed to give one or more
numbers at each school house during
the winter. Outside speakers and en-
tertainers will be brought in in many
cases as well as local talent.
The purpose of the community ga
therings is not only to furnish some
thing interesting to the people but to
instruct and inform them as well
and to show some of the work that is
being done by the pupils.
The following districts have been
organized under the leadership if one
of the members of the school staff:
Wenatchee vicinity, C. A. Frisk, prin-
cipal of Sunnyslope schools Wenat-
chez proper, G. NJ. Warren, superin-

LETTER ON IRRIGATION
PROJECT OF INTEREST,"

Mr.. H. c. Peters of Seattle, sends
US the following letter on an irriga-
ton project upon which he has been
figuring and as there are several
ranchers here who might be interest
ed in the matter, as we'll as its gener-
al interest, it is published. Anyone
desiring to get in on the project
should communicate with Mr.. Peters,
ZIG 3rd Ave, Seattle.
Lands lying, generally, north and
rortheasterly of and adjacent to the
town of Leavenworth, Washington,
suffer from lack Of water and nee1
irrigation to produce good crops.
An irrigation system of the high
est class can be installed at reason
able cost and the maintenance charg-
es will be light. A gravity project
could be installed but the cost would
be practically prohibitive. Fortu-
nately there is abundant and Cheap
water power available practically adj
jacent to the lands to be irrigated, in
the Wenatchee River. By using this
power to operate Hill Rams water can
be pumped to the desired elevations.
These machines will give assured re-
liability and with low first cost will
also give an almost cost free service
1t is proposed to divert water from
hn ntol, II, 4
sion site of the fume that formerly
supplied water to the Lumber Mill IN
Leavenworth This is at point
about half mile above the mouth of
the Tumwater Canyon. From this
point the water will be carried dowa
the south bank of the river in "a"
or 26" pipe line to the site of the
pumping station, some 2300 feet be-
low the intake. A power head or drop
of SO feet is available. The pumped
water will be carried in IA" pipe line
across the river on a cable suspension
bridge thence under the Great Nor-
thern Railway tracks and up the hill
north of the tracks, to an elevation of
about 100 feet above the rams or to
an elevation above sea level of about
1910 feet. From the end of the de-
livery pipe line, the water will be car
ried, north around the hill side along
the west side of the valley in a fume.
Part of the water will be supplied to
the lands below the fume at different
POINTS along the line, but the main
volume will be carried to the end of
the flume line. At this point, part of
! the water will continue to flow at the
same elevation, in ditch, forming the
intermediate level; part of the water
will be dropped about fifty feet to the
low level ditch supplying a consider
able portion of the lands. The water
dropped to the low level will furnish
power in ram to pump a consider
abe supply to the high level, at ele-
walton of about 1410 feet. The high
line ditch will be some 270 feet above
the main pumping plant and will run
around the north side of the valley
covering the higher and some of the
best lands in the district. 1t is Ell
tirely nr:.ctical to extend this line 70
cover near y all the lands in the val
ley, around to a point near Chumstick
/ Creek.
! There are some desirable lands ly.

ing southwest of Leavenworth, near
the Great Northern Mill Company
plant. These lands can be covered by
gravity and it is proposed to extend
an eight inch pipe line from the
pumping plant intake, across the
bridge and to the lands in question.
Some fifty or sixty acres can be 50
covered. These lands should be re-
claimed at lower price per acre than
the main valley lands.
The entire project can be made Il
cover some 500 acres of land. The
larger the acreage, the cheaper the
cost per ache would be.
In making preliminary estimates Of
cost and water required we figured
that during fifty days of maximum
mand during July and August, not
less than Is inches depth of water
should be applied to the lands. This
a water duty of 0.0125 cubic feet per
second per acre or one cubic foot per
second for each so acres. As the
main system will be tight, with no
leakage to speak of, this will be an
ample supply to the lands in question
ana will approach the amount of
water that the State will allow to be
diverted for irrigation use. The
pumping plant requirements were fig
ured on this basis.
As to the machinery used, the man
ufacturers will give an absolute guar
antee as to the capacity and efficiency
that will be obtained.
We estimate that the system can be
installed at cost Of 500 per acre
