Senator Borah said that he made

Senator Borah of Idaho announced
at the White House today after a
brief conference with President
Coolidge that under no circumstances
would he accept the Vice President

finality and he spoke with emphasis.
Senator Borah said that he has

that he does not want the nominate

staying in the Senate, where he could
vote and could voice his opinions on

SOME BASS

The county game warden has soli-

saving the bass in the land locked
waters around the mouth of the Yak
ina river and from reliable estimates
it is believed that $4,000 of these
young game fish have been saved and
put into the Columbia river.
Owing to water in the Columbia
being unusually low this year the
young bass, which feed along the
sloughs, Were trapped by the rapid
fall in the river, and to save them
it is necessary to comb these lakes
with nets. j. p. Martin, who has
charge of this work, reports splendid
cooperation from local sportsmen
who will receive rewards for their
work in years to come.

FACES TROUBLE
Power Company Will Soon
Be Forced to Use
Steam Plants

j. H.. Siegfried, superintendent of
power for the Pacific Power & Light
company, reports that it will be nee
essary within a few days to use their
steam plants unless there comes an
unexpected rise in the rivers. The
three company plants are located Mt
Kennewick, Walla Walla and Matches
and these plants have already been
put in readiness for operation.
The Columbia river is reported ten
feet below normal, and the Snake
shows five feet less water than at
any time during the last 81 years.
The water on the latter river has
dropped below the intake of the pump
on the Burbank project and that dis
trict has been without water for two
weeks. A like situation is fast ap-
preaching the Pasco unit.
Mr.. Siegfried states that Dumping
Lake will be dry in all probability
within 18 days, and by that time if
not before, he feels sure that the
steam plants will be in operation. The
company is already taking full
load over the Spokane wires.
This unfortunate condition will be
heavy expense for the company for
as Mr.. Siegfried points out, with the
days growing shorter and with the ir-
rigation season still on, the strain
comes at the worst possible time of
the year. Mr.. Siegfried felt however,
that the company would be able to
meet all requirements.

There has been such demand. in

some method of clearing and ex-

and pure seed, that the extension SER

Any farmer having stock, seed, and
any other farm products which might
sell outside of the county, can list
such goods with the county agents
and these lists will be printed by the
extension service and sent to every
other county in the state.
Goods should be listed Wanted
or "For Sale," described, and be in
the county office, Kennewick, by the
first of each month.
The Union Pacific also opperates
such free service and both of these
lists may be seen a. the county of
