OFFERS STOCK FOR SALE

The Pacific Power & Light COM
pany, with operating headquarters
in Portland, is rapidly bringing
into completion its new power
plant on Hood River, where the in
stalled generating capacity will be
5000 H. P. This plant is located
adjacent to the city limits of Hood
River and within sight of the Col-
umbia River Highway bridge. 1t
will be a first class, modern power
plant in every respect, and the
ground will be developed and beau
titled so as to make all attractive
showing. The plant when complet-
ed will cost about S1.250,000. 1t
not only will serve the rapidly
growing districts adjacent to The
Dalles-H Hood River-White Salmon
territory, ; but also considerable
power will be sold wholesale in
Portland. 1t is expected that this
plant will be ready for service in
March. AS many as six hundred
men have been employed at one
time on construction. The plant is
fed through wood staye pipe line
100 inches in diameter and two
miles long.
The Pacific Power & Light com.
pany annually spends for new
plants and service extensions on an
average of $650.00O. This is in
addition to money spent in new
power development, such as the
one on Hood River and the pro-
posed new Deschutes development
at the Reclamation power site, a
permit for which has been granted
to the Pacific company.
On December LIST, the Pacific
Power & Light company opened
a new preferred stock SELL
ing campaign. Last spring during
a similar campaign about twelve
hundred and fifty shares of pre-
ferred stock were sold to light &
power customers of the Pacific
Power & Light company. These
stock sales were all made by the
regular employees Of the company
and not through solicitors and hro-
kers.
The Pacific company has just
completed the largest washing ma
chine campaign for cylinder type
washing machines ever held in this
part of the country. Three hun.
dred and fifty-five washing ma
chimes were sold during the month
of October. The first prize for the
largest number of machines sold
went to the Kennewick district
The White Bluffs Grange. at its
regular meeting Thursday evening,
elected the following officers for
the ensuing year: Master, L. W.
Beldin; overseer, F. u. Edwards;

VALLEY ORGANIZATION
NOW Being formed

y
en- during the past week to perfect
an orga nizatien here to be known
as the Priest Rapids Valley Pro-
gressiye League, and 1t is hoped
that this organization will be able
to secure as members every resi-
dent in the entire valley, from
Priest Rapids to Ringold, as we'll
as every nonresident who has in
terests here.
The purpose in general Of the
League will be to promote and fos-
ter every legitimate movement
looking to the settlement and de-
velopment Of the whole valley, but
specifically, and for the time being,
at least, to center its activities in
doing whatever is necessary to in
crease the present state land settle
ment here from So to a 100 unit
project and to do everything possi-
BILE to bring about the building Of
the Wenatcnee Southern railroad.
The land that it is expected to
secure for increasing the state land
settlement project lies in the vicin-
;ty of Vernita, and is now the prep.
erty of The State university. The
League officials propose to show
the university regents that the
1900 acres the university would
still retain there wonld be more
valuable with 800 acres developed
by the state. than the / whole 1000
undeveloped acres would be. The
project manager can look after 100
units for practically the same ex-
pense required by the SO tracts
That would cut the overhead al
most in half and would be a big
saving to the so dier settlers in the
project. 1t will require legislative
action to increase the project from
its present size, but as the funds
necessary for this work means
merely transferring them from one
department to another, it is not
thought that much trouble will be
encountered there.
In the two preliminary meetings
lone at Hanford and one at White
Bluffs-held SO far it was decided
that the affairs of the Priest Rap
ids Valley Progressive League
should be directed by q board of
trustees consisting of nine man
bers, and the following were select
ed for 80 days to carry the League
through the early stages of its ex-
istence: Charles M. Sanford, George
H Baxter, IA. B. Haynes and Jay
Smith of 'Hanfdrd; IN. e Robinson,

meetings at both White Bluffs and

err and roads we're so bad that it
was decided to call them off.

in the near future, probably next

M'NEILL STILL HANGS ON

y D. s. Wilkinson. Fred Gil
huly, Sam Allard and j. e. Syf-
ford drove over to Prosser
Monday. While there Mr.. Allard
filed his oath and bond as county
commissioner and with Commits
sioner-elect Briggs of Kennewick
sat with the old board to
familiarize himself with the rout-
inc of the work. G. E. DeBoM,
commissioner-elect from the
Prosser district, also attended
the meeting Monday, and after
filing his oath and bond, asked
to be allowed to take his place
on the board. Anticipating such
a request, the old board had ask
ed the attorney general of the
state for an opinion on the status
Of Commissioner Mcneil, who is
serving disappointment to fill
the unexpired term Of DR..
French, resigned. Mcneil holds
that the law permits him to
serve out the entire term of DR..
French which would not have, ex-
pired until 1924. The attorney
generals opinion, which was read
at tie meeting, calls attention
first to the constitution Of the
state, which provides that ap-
pointm'ents to fill uulexpired
terms in elective offices shall hold
ONLY until the next general cleo
ton. In 1901, the legislature
passed a law that would pN-mit
an appointce to serve out the en-
tire term of the Officer whose
place he had been appointed to
fill. After citing this apparent
conflict between the constitution
and the state law the attorney
general refused to. give a definite
opinion either way and suggested
It was matter for the courts to
decide.
Mr.. DeBow says that he
will again make request to be
allowed to take his place on the
board at tho January meeting,
and if he is again refused, will
take the matter into court.

BAMB|NO IN AFRICA
OFFICIALS STOP TRAIN WHILE
PRIEST cHRISTENS INFANT
IN CAR.

! L'Unione, an Italian paper published
In San Francisco, carries an interest
ing story by an Italian priest who has
been travelling in.South Africa for the
purpose of studying possibilities of
Italian emigration to that country.
/ Everywhere have been shown the
greatest courtesy by the authorities"
he said. THE most striking instance
of this was when an Italian farmer
living in a remote district, heard that
the train on which was travelling was
to pass near. his, place. He had a
young baby to be christened, and had
been unable to- take it to the city for
that purpose. Hearing of my arrival,
he sent word to me and asked me to
come to him. 49,
"The railroad authorities were kind
enough to help me out in the emer-
gency. 1t SO happened that the traf-
fic director was on the. same train
with me. He had the train stopped,
and the Italian farmer. with his wife
and baby. met us. at the appointed
place. An entire compartment had
been placed at my disposal on the
train. This was converted into min
iature. chapel, and the baby was bap-
tized in the presence of the traffic
manager and several of the passen-
gers"

A. A. BOOK & SON CO.

Are your buildings amply covered
by insurance against fire, wind. storm
and other damage? Should they burn
down tonight, would your insurance
replace them according to present-day
prices? We doubt not unless you
have increased the amount of insur-
ance you carry on them, within the
last few years. The depreciation of
the dollar means that the insurance
you carried five years ago and which
you thought was ample is not enough
now when one looks at lumber and
building material prices and the cost
of labor. The only safe course is to
increase your insurance until it COM
pares with today's prices. We would
recommend to our readers, A. A. Book

K. OF c. IN ROME
KNIGHTS OPEN HEADQuARTERS
FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL
AND WELFARE WORK.

First definite word of the Inaugural
ton of Knights Of Columbus welfare
work in Italy under the auspices of
the Holy See is contained in a dis
patch from Edward l.. Hearn, Euro.
pean commissioner for the X. of C.
At p Via Mirette, in the heart of
the Eternal City, the Knights have
acquired central headquarters.
which is being equipped as club and
an authoritative information bureau
for American and all English-speak-
ing tourists in Rome. This bureau
will also house training school for
Italians to learn American welfare
methods proved successful by the
Knights in their war and reconstruc-
ton work.
When the work has been launched
effectively in Rome it will radiate
to other important Italian cities and
villages. The Vatican officials are CO.
operating closely with the knights in
the work, and the X. of C. personnel
is composed of Americans who saw
service with the a. E. F. The advice
of Italian sociologists is being fol-
lowed in adapting American welfare
methods to italian needs, and one of
the first activities of the K. of G. will
be the promotion of amateur contact
sports among the Italian youth.

Brief Reviews and Notices
A Short History Of Christian Theoph

A Short History Of Christian Theopha.
gy. BY Preserved Smith, Phi. D.
Published by Open Court Publish
ing Company, Chicago. Price, $500.
The author of this work seems to
start out with a false premise. He
takes for granted that in certain re.
mote period ''the grandsons of the ape
were accommodating their theological
IDEAS" This ape-theory, something
never yet proved scientifically, tends
to throw distrust on the strange ar
suments which DR. Smith weaves or
andeavors to weave around the custom
i Of eating the flesh of the gods .
Frankly, the book is an attempt to
show that the Christian practice of
'eceiving Our Lord in the Holy Eucha-
rist is merely a revival of an age-old
tribal and pagan usage of eating GER
tain things with the belief that there.
by the worshiGper was "eating his
gods" and thereby acquiring for him.
self some of that gods attributes and
appeasing the deity.
"A vast uSSOI lLIcuL I'll ldClS anu leg
ends are found in this work. Their
ogieal connection, however, is by NO
means proven. It is the same old fa1-
acy OF arguing from accidentals to es.
'entials; line of thought that is not
always justified Besides, the author
speaks on the assumption that divine
faith is of no account; the words of
Christ are more symbolic than effica.
eious. Evidently, there is small ground
upon which to meet in such an argu.
ment: the account of the Last Sup
per is but an geological cult story,
analogous to the Greek myths" Thus
does the learned doctor dismiss the
greatest sacrament of the Christian
religion, while at the same time con.
signing Christ to the limbo of other
imposters. This book may be inter.
esting for professors who can thus
gain another insight into the vagaries
OF the human mind devoid of faith
and logical acumen.
