BY chas. J. BarthoIet,
Aaalatant SunarNlaor of HNdr


After personal Investigation made
by Chas. j. Bartholet, assistant super
visor of hydraulics, for the state of
Washington the following report was
made. This report should be of inter-
est to the voters of the city of Aber-
deem.
An examination of the proposed pro-
ject was made on October 18th, 1922.
which consisted of trip to the dam
and reservoir site and over the route
of the proposed Line.
The proposed plans were discussed
with Mr.. Malinowski. The dam To-
cation is especially suitable being in
very narrow rock gorge and the
dam will be 40 feet wide at the bot
tom and 100 feet wide at height of
100 feet above the stream, and 300
feet wide to height OF 200 feet.
Within one-half mile Of the dam
site there are large deposits of sand
and gravel suitable for use for con-
crete for construction Of the dam.
The reservoir will flood about 250O
acres or more, OF which about two
thirds is within the Olympic National
Forest. No part Of the dam or pipe
line location is within the Forest Re
serve. The pipe line about mile
in length lines on a bench where con-
structiOn cost will be very light
Plans Complete.
The location Of the proposed pro-
ject is quite inaccessible, of noun
famous character and hevily timber
ed extending up for miles. and this Is
very best stand Of timber, and a rail-
road will undoubtedly be built in there
within a very short time, which will
make the location of the project more
accessible.

banana belt, but as wheat belt
and the surest- thing -youknow farm
ling belt this prairie has any other
portion of the old world distaneed by
good odds, and here the worker in
the soil is surest of returns for his
labor. This year the workers are on
the job early and so are the climatic
conditions and the outlook is very
suggestive of bumper crop.
For the past week considerable soil
has been turned over in this immedi-
ate neighborhood and continued con-
ditions promise more extensive oper-

those in the fields this week we have
heard of the following: G. NJ. Tup-

FOR LOWER FREIGHT TO TIE
COAST.

Lewiston, Idaho, Jan. 9.--The com
mercial club today, after hearing an
address, by H. P. Christensen of Port
land, traffic manager of the North
west Wheat Growers association, in
dorsed the movements to obtain an
elimination of the differential grain
rate applying to the Nez Perez and
Camas prairie districts served by the
Camas Prairie Railway company. The
wheat rate to the Coast from Lewis
ton, Culdesac, Kendrick, Troy, Moscow
and other railway stations classed as
common points is "a cents 100
pounds. Reubens, at the edge of the
Nez Perez prairie zone and about 25
miles from Culdesac, has rate Of
|311s cents; Craigmont, Cottonwood
and Grangeville, 1924 cents.
Nezperce, on the branch of the Nez-
perce & idaho rosd, 12 miles from
Craigmont, has rate of 40 cents
100. The rate form all points on bar
lev and oats is slightly lower than
that applying to wheat, but the diff
ferential is on the same basis. The
wheat growers contend such pro-
nounced differential as against tho
prairie points is not justified.
The foregoing dispatch might also
be applied to all points on the Camas
and Nez Perce prairies, for Mr.. Chris
tensen is making these points this
week to secure their moral support to
this effort of tho Wheat Growers
Association to have the exhorbitant
freight rate from prairie points to
Culdesac on grain reduced.
He was in Nezperce yesterday and
secured from Chairman Felt of the
Commercial Club the assurance of
resolution by that body commencing
this move. Mr.. Christensen stated
that, as traffic manager for the
Northwest Wheat Growers Associa-
ton, he had been working on this mat
ter for over year and now had it in
shape to lay before the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and feels rea-
sonably sure that the adjustment OF
the rate will be made, and this will
mean saving of several cents per
hundred to the farmers of the prairies
on their exports, or around $4,000
per year for this territory.
He pointed out that in the 450.mils
haul to the coast the IS miles down
the hill from Reubens to Culdesac was
paying 26 per cent of the freight for
the entire distance, and this in spite
of the fact that it is practically
down grade all the way to the coast.
His arugment is that this Is miles
should pay no more than the same
distance on any other portion Of the
N. P. or other lines serving the North
west; that this excessive rate for this
18 miles should be absorbed by the
balance of the distance to the coast
The expense of carrying out his plan
is taken care of by the Association,
and the communities interested arc
simply asked to boost with resolutions
favoring it.
Another point he makes is that In
securing this reduction nothing is done
that might discriminate against either
Portland or Seattle as a grain market
for this territory.

EzpERcE BOYS WIN; GIRLS
LOSE.

The opening game of the big
ouble header" at the gym last
4day evening was played by the
<xtonwood and Nezperce girls. The
f@Sult was 13 to 9 in Cottnwood's ia
vii This was real battle, and the
Nezperce girls, although inexperiene-
IA showed that they have the fight
ina spirit as well as the boys. The
eeftonwood girls, from long exper-
ance, handled the ball better and
used better teamwork than the To-
eaI girls, but in comparison to the
us1mber of shots the home team dis
H5eyed better shooting ability than
dId their opponents. In consideration
of the fact that this was the first
game ever played by the Nezperce
girls, they did splendid W rk indeed.
Immediately after the girls game
the Cottonwood and Nezperce boys
took the floor with resultant score
of 80 to IL, in Nezperce' favor.
This was by far the fastest and
most exciting game played on the To-
cal floor this season. The Cotton
wood boys started off with a dash
and made the first basket. After the
first ten minutes, however, the Nez-
perez boys took the lead, and during
the rest of the game completely out
played their opponents.
The play during the last half was
almost entirely at Nezperce's end ofj
the floor and it was only because of
Inaccurate shoting that the score for
the home team was not much greater.
For Nezperce all members of the
team showed up equally well in their
respective places, while for Cotton
wood Minis was the star player.
The lineup and summary of the
game were as follows:
