The Skagit Investigation

POLL of the city council indicates there will be almost
"A unanimous approval of The Stars suggestion for
impartial investigation OF expenditures TO date on the
Skagit power project
This suggestion made to insure the success of this
muncpaly-owned enterprise. The Star, long staunch
supporter of public ownership saw millions more than
originally estimated being poured into the work
its completion held up for years and feared lest should
be weighted down with bonds and other financial obi
cations that ii necessarily would fail.
Why the delay? Why the excessive cost7 The Star
sought facts-and got Council sought factsand
members say they got none. Why? 1t was to get
report for the taxpayers on how their money is being
spent that The Star suggested the investigation that the
council has taken up.
What kind of an investigation should 1t BET
The Star suggests this:
The council has not the technical knowledge to grasp
the intimate details OF the Skag work. Members of the
board Of public works largely in the situation
and busy with their city departments that they
have little time to devote to the Skagt
Appoint, then, committee of three to include.
One politically disinterested engineer to unrave the
technical mysteries for the committee.
One politically dsnteresed accountant to point out in
laymans language what the Skagt account books show
One politically disinterested Seattle business man to
represent the taxpayers of Seattle generally
The committee should begin work quickly possible
and should report at the earliest possible moment.
Skagit Engineer linden says he complete the Gorge
unit of the Skagit to point where it will operate by
May Next their program viii be the construction of
the 100000 permanent Gorge dam and the 100000
Ruby dam.
If investigation of the s11 100000 Gorge project now
under way is favorable to Mr. Uhdens management The
Star says keep him the job If it reveals adverse find
ings Seattle wants to know about before further work
is started
Uhden says he get the first unit into operation with
the funds on hand. Fine-if he do it, Let him go
ahead.
But get the investigation under way pronto, will
know by the time the present job is completed whether
not want to leave the job of spending of
millions in the hands of linden and his associates
THE STAR HAS NO FIGHT WITH UHDEN. TT HAS
NO FIGHT WITH ANY PERSON. 1T is FIGHTING
ONLY TO INSURE SUCCESS FOR THE MUNICH
PALLY-OWNED SKAGTT, WHETHER THAT FIGHT
BE AGAINST INCOMPETENCE, UNCONCERN OR
THE EFFORTS OF THE POWER TRUST.

Protection for Bees in
Winter of Importance

The Importance Of giving bees thor
ough protection during the winter
months is illustrated by tests made at
the Wisconsin station, in which bees
were wintered with various amounts
of protection. Large losses occurred
in those hives given the least protec-
ton and their consumption Of winter
stores was large.
A hive wintered without any pack
ing required 81 pounds of winter food
from late November until April IL.
Another colony housed in double
walled hive with IN inches Of pack
ing consumed "a pounds of winter
stores. Other bees wintered in a
double packing case with seven inches
of packing lived through on 14h
pounds, while colony wintered in a
heavy packing. case with 101a inches
of packing consumed but 9A pounds.
AS an average of'twelve colonies, bees
wintered~ in a bee cellar took but
10 1-3 pounds. The loss of bees in
the well-protected colonies was much
less than in those given lesser pro-
lection.
