BIG PRIEST RAPIDS PROJECT
TO BRING NEW ERA OF GROWTH
General Electric Plans Call for Ultimate Expenditure of
Hundred Million Dollars and Largest Dam i'm
World-To Build New Niagara on the
Banks of the Columbia

One possibility which has always
loomed large in the future devel-
opment of this section is the Priest
Rapids power project rs miles up the
Columbia from Kennewick. Now that
the building of this immense project
is practically assured, people here
abouts are beginning to wonder what
the development will mean to Ken
newick. In this Kennewick isn't
alone. In fact the whole state is show
ing a marked interest in the project
as it is planned by the General Elec-
trio company, of Schenectady, N. Y.
The Seattle Times in its Sundays
issue asks:
What will be the effect of the es-
tablishment on the mighty Columbia
River in the heart of what is now a
sagebrush desert in the center of the
state of Washington of modern city
of forty or fifty thousand population
surrounding the largest hydroelectric
power plant in the United States west
of Niagara Falls and sustained by
many electro chemical industrial
plants and factories?
The answer of some of the most
farseeing economists and industrial
engineers Of Seattle is that when the
Priest Rapids development is COM
pleted, which will be within the next
three years under present plans, the
progress of this state and of its sis
ter states of the Pacific Northwest
will be advanced a quarter of GEN.
tury.
The General Electric Company in
terests have solved the last of the
problems connected with the huge
Priest Rapids project and are now
ready to begin actual construction
that will involve an ultimate total
expenditure of at least 500, ,000, 900.
Preliminary work such as surveys
and boring for dam foundations, COM
menced several years ago on tenn
porary permit from the government,
have been completed at cost of
nearly $6,000,000, and now the an
nouncement from Washington, D. c.,
is that the Washington Irrigation &
Development Company, a holding
company of the General Electric in
terests, has applied for a license to
begin the real work as soon as the
permit can be obtained from the fed
eral power commission, probably by
March 1 next, by starting construc-
tion of the largest power dam in the
world.
The dam alone wifi cost $2s, ,0oo, 900.
Machinery for the power plant and
buildings will cost $41, 100000. In
building factories and industrial
works, $4,000, 900 will be spent, and
$4,000, 900 will be expended in build
ing the city for the $1,000 workers
the factory will employ.
The electro-chemical industries of
the United States are now centered
at Niagara Falls, and the General
Electric interests plan 70 make a
long story short, to make Priest
Rapids second Niagara Falls where
hundrers of basic products will be
manufactured by electro-chemical
processes that have been brought to

Every Member of Local
Team in Excellent Shape
for Annual Battle
PLAY TO START AT
NOON WITHOUT FAIL
Coach Kralowec Hopes For
Victory in Final Game
Football Season

Are you ready Kennewick? We are
ready.
"Not only ready but everybody is
raring to CO." declared Superinten-
dent j. w. Failor when asked con-
corning the big Turkey Day football
game between Kennewick and Pasco.
Coach Kralowec says that at no
time during the season have his boys
been in better condition or showing
better form in practice. 1t is two
weeks since the team has had game
and Coach Kralowec has made good
use of the time in drilling the team
in new formations and new plays
and he is as ready as can be for to-
days big game.
One Of the local teams weaknesses
has been lack of speed behind the
line. To overcome this Rudolph Rich
ter has been switched from the line
to the bacl1field and Beste has been
given line position where he is a
tower Of strength. The new backfield
man is not Bud Richter who has been
playing half, but kid brother. He is
showing up fine in practice and Coach
Kralowec believes he will give the
Pasco defensive something to think
about this afternoon.
The game will be called promptly
at noon and will be over by 1870 or
1;45 in fine time for Thanksgiving
dinners. Lowe Of Spokane will ref
cree and Shelby Of Pasco will act as
umpire.

highest perfection in recent years in
Germany, Norway and Sweden.
Electrical engineers and chemists
long have predicted quarter of
a century from now the North Pacific
Coast region, because it has large
part of the nations undeveloped wa
ter power, would become the scene of
the greatest development of the cleo
tro-chenical industries the New
World has ever known.
In their opinion the building of the
Priest Rapids power plant and indus
trial city will mark the practical full
fillment of their prediction. The
present great need of the Pacific
Northwest is population and payrolls.
Their prediction has been that both
these needs would be met when cleo
tro-chemical industries were estab-
lished here following development Of
the idle water powers.
Hence the vital Importance of the
Priest Rapids project to the State of
Washington and the Pacific North
west as a whole.
One thing certain is that the Gen.
eral Electric company interests have
faith in the success of their venture
and that they have the money to make
their visions come true.
Their biggest task was to find a
market for the 100000 horsepower
the Priest Rapids plant will develop
at all stages of the Columbia River
every day in the year. When the
river is high in the spring and sum-
mer months the plant will develop
nearly 100000 horsepower more,
known as secondary power
The promoters already have ar
ranged to sell this secondary horse
power, and to use the surplus that
cannot be sold in irrigating with cleo
trio pumps 100000 acres Of rich but
arid land lying east and north of the
rapids. This land reclamation in
itself will bring in a large farming
population for the new industrial city.
Irrigation is necessary only in the
months when the plant will have sur
plus power in abundance.
To insure a constant market for the
primary 4OO, 1000 horsepower, the Gen.
eral Electric interests decided to build
an industrial city to use it, and to
that end geologists, chemists and
electro-chemical engineers of national
fame were sent to the Pacific North
west to find minerals of their quest
west to find minerals available for
manufacture at Priest Rapids.
It was the success Of their quest
that decided the capitalists back of
the project to undertake its imme-
date construction.
An article written for a technical
magazine recently by Henry j. Pierce,
formerly of Seattle, but now of New
York, electrical engineer, who is pres
ident of the Washington Irrigation &
Development company, indicates what
discoveries were made by the experts
who studied the possible uses for the
Priest Rapids power and also fore
shadows the nature of the manufac-
lures the General Electric company

NIGHT IN THE PRISON CELL
Picturesque Description Of Hours Of
Darkness Spent In Vain Regrets
and Unavailing Sorrow.

The day is done. The sun has de-
parted beyond the western wall, the
buzzards have ceased their lelsurely
wheeling in the say and all nature
has gone to rest We have finished
our daily tasks, eaten our evening
meal and have returned to our con-
structed cells. The bolts are shot
home and we are safely housed and
protected against the temptations OF
the great world.
away, punctuated now by desultory
reading and now by aImless smoking
and listless converse. The warning
bell has sounded, we have crawled
each into his narrow bunk, the lights
are out and night is here.
For some, sleep and oblivion,
blessed release from the iron in the
soul; for others, wakefulness and the
weary reraveling of life's pathway;
first, one lightheartedly turns home
ward, but the vision is evocative Of
sad and weary faces Of dear ones
struggling against adverse fate.
One worries over the ailing little
one, over the sorrow of the faithful
old mother with her accumulation Of
years mourning for her absent boy,
her waning strength inadequate FOR
such burden-bearing; over the heroic,
faithful devotion of the dear wife !;
over the chagrln and wounded feel
ings of the children under the Jibe3
of their school mates; over the vicar-
ious punishment of all ones dear ones.
Then ones mind traverses and re
hearses the pettiness of the day just
closed, as they come trooping In re
view with vain regrets for unimproved
opportunities for kindness, with
poignant regrets for the grasped OPP
portunities of hasty and impatient
speech, all these in Photographic clear
ness present themselves to the mental
vision.
The jangling nerves are in open re-
bellion. Again to the treadmill amid
the surging waves of thought and
again we are wadlng through the
deeps of the past Slowly, how slow
ly, the hours drag by; the guard makes
his quiet round with felt-clad feet, the
hum of the human throng slowly falls
away from the consciousness and ex-
hausted nature brings to the tired
brain sweet oblivion, and to the weary
eyelids sleep-Good Words.

oil From Beechnuts.

Not long ago measures were taken
by the minister of agriculture in Hol-
land to increase the supply of edible
oils in that country by making q full
use of the domestic beechnut crop. II
Is estimated that between 1900 and
$500 metric tons of these nuts may be
collected If every effort be made, and
that from this amount of raw nuts
100000 to 100000 kilos of oil may be
obtained. This would afford a valua-
BILE addition to the stocks Of edible
oils in the Netherlands.
Owners of private lands from which
beechnuts are gathered receive COM

the sums paid to the gatherers. and
they also enjoy the right to purchase
