The above drawing gives in some
detail the region near Priest rapids
on the Columbia river in Central
Washington south from Beverly. 1t
is proposed to put dam two miles
long across the river and produce
hydro-electric energy generally for
distribution and development OF land
along the river between Wenatchee
and Pasco. The estimated cost is
1OO,OOO,O00. The General Electric
company of Schenectady, N. Y, makes
the following statement regarding
the project:
"The men who have dreamed of an
empire around Priest rapids are prac-
tical men withal, men who have
turned to action to make their dreams
come true. They propose to develop
to the utmost the rapids. 1t will cost
many millions, but the financing has
been completed by large electrical
and industrial interests and the
actual operations are about to start"
The Backing.
Further on in it's statement the fol
lowing appears:
aPhe electric development has the
backing of the General Electric com
pany, which is interested in seeing
the power plant built and transmits
sion lines laid out. The business or
ganization that will directly initiate
the work is the Washington Irriga
ton and Development company, OF
which Henry j. Pierce is president
with headquarters at II Broadway
New York"
Mr.. Pierce made Spokane his resi-.
dence for some time, but has been
identified with Seattle for several
years.
Priest rapids is considered the
greatest water power site in the
United States next to Niagara. Its
total estimated potential hydro
electric capacity is 100000 horse
power. The Niagara total is 100000
yet the rate of flow of the Columbia
is at times actually greater than
Niagara. The river drops 80 feet In
10 miles.
Continuing it's account of this prof.
ect the General Electric company
says:
What Water Power Will Do.
what will then be seen, il the vast
scheme of the interests back of this
development materializes, is this:
"A great power dam across the
river that will cost $28,000,000 and
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1923-04-27

will be 80 feet high and two miies
,ono--tha largest dam in the world
"a hundred thousand acres OF now
harren land under irrigation by cleo
trical methods for every crop lha'
can be grown in temperate zone.
"A teeming industrial city OF per
haps 10000 persons at Priest rapius'
"The crops that can be grown lux
uriantly in the wide reaches OF the
Priest rapids valley, IL only there Is
an adequate water supply, lnciuue
both Egyptian and ordinary grades
of cotton; alfalfa running to 1our
cuttings to the season, sugar Deets,
tobacco, peanuts, SOY beans, sweet
potatoes, fax, barley, rye, wheat
corn and every variety OF vegetap!e.
The soil Is rich volcanic ASH. ~
,,deds only water to become amaz.
ingly fertile. There are 3Oo days OF
sunshine every year."
Continuing it's statement the Cen
eral Electric company says:
Financing Plan.
"The aggregate cost on the con
struction work, according TO even the
most conservative estimates, VIII ap-
pl.oach S100,0O0,000. or this, $zo'-
OOO. 900 will go into the building or
the power dam, the first essential OF
the undertaking.
Forty million more will be ex-
pended in the electrical power de-
velopment; $2O,O0O,O00 in the building
and equipping of the industrial plants
already projected to use the cleo
trical energy, and $l2.OOO,O0O in the
building of the industrial city which
will inevitably spring up around the
factory projects and as result, also'
of the wide spread irrigation.
"Tangible work to develop Priest
rapids water-power is to begin at
an early date. The necessary federal
and state permits have been obtained.
The necessary land has been acquired,
including 500 acres for power plant
and dam site. Foundations for the
dam have been explored and found
satisfactory. Engineering plans have
been prepared and the financing mas
been arranged Actually, Priest
Rapids development is on the verge
Of realization, and it can soon be
classified among the water-poWer
projects now undergoing construction
in the United States which involve
installations aggregating over 2,o0o,-
600 horsepower and an investment OF
over $250,000,0O0."

play with Kennewick, will probably
be weaker. The game will be
played on the new grounds at the

ing made to have the Band play al

MRS. M'COTTER MARRIED

Harry Bruce of Quincy and Mrs.
Percie McCotter of White Bluffs
were married in Kennewick last
Monday. Back of this wedding
was an unusual romance. One of
the women in party of White
B uffs folks returning from Chelan
on warm day in the fag end of
last summer, wrote her name and
address on the water tank at Burke
postoffice, where the party had
stopped to get cool drink. Short
ly thereafter letter from Mr..
Bruce addressed to this lady ar
rived in White Bluffs, but as she
had already acquired husband she
was not interested and she turned
the letter over to Mrs. McCotter.
An animated correspondence fol-
lowed and on an overland trip to
Spokane a week ago last Sunday
Mrs. McCotter stopped at the Bruce
farm and the two saw each other
for the first time. Mr.. Bruce was
evidently much impressed for he
came to White Bluffs last Sunday
and the two were married the next
day. The couple left Tuesday for
Mr.. Bruce's ranch near Burke.
Mr.. Bruce is reported to be pros
porous farmer, with several sec
tions Of land and a number of
bIooded cattle.
