START BIG PROJECT SOON
2. F. Benson Sure Priest Rap
ids Plan Will Go Through

Confidence in the promoters
Of the Priest Rapids project,
which includes plans for a city
of about 10000 on the banks
| Of the Columbia river and that
development. will .be- started in
the coming spring, was express
ed by +. n. Benson Of st. Paul
in Spokane yesterday. Mr..
Benson, former Washington
State conthissidier Of agricul-
ture is now manager Of the
Northern Pacific railways de-
partment of immigration and in
dustry.
Mr.. Benson said that more
than $2,000,000 had been spent
by the hackers in making tests,
obtaining lands for irrigation
and developing prospective users
OF power. The project contem-
plates an expenditure Of about
$50, 100000 to construct water
power unit, irrigate 100000
acres and give the basis for an
industrial city.
Every Indication we re-
ceive is that the people behind
the Priest Rapids development
are in earnest" Mr.. Benson
said. "We are satisfied that it
is genuine development, and |
have every confidence in the
stability and integrity OF the
people interested, and that their
plans will be carried out in the
reasonably near future. -

PROMOTER PLANS TO MAKE PRIEST RAPIDS
NIAGARA OF THE WEST

| While most OF the readers OF
the Spokesman are more or less
familiar with the plans for the
development Of the Priest Rap
ids power site through the
many news stories published
during the last year or two
they will find much interesting
data in the article reprinted be-
low. This article was given
out by H. j. Pierce, president
Of Washington Irrigation &
| Development company and ap-
peared in a recent issue of the
Journal of the American Insti-
tute Of Electrical Engineers.
Near the Center Of State
"The Priest Rapids of the
Columbia are located a little
south of almost the exact center
Of the state Of Washington
Pierce says. "The four princi-
pal cities of the far Northwest,
Portland, Seattle, Tacoma and
Spokane, having an aggregate
popultion of 100000, are as the
crow flies about $50 miles dis
tant from Priest Rapids.
stThe Columbia is the 18th
largest river in the world, and
second largest in the United
States, and carries greater
volume Of water than the Miss
issippi at Memphis. Its drain
age area above Priest Rapids is
estimated at $4,000 square miles.
The river is navigable from the
Pacific ocean to the foot Of
Priest Rapids, distance of 400
miles. With the installation of
locks and q dam at Priest Rapids
navigation will extend for a
further 130 miles to within ITO
miles Of the Canadian border.
The Columbia is now nayigahle
for ocean-going vessels for l20
miles from it's mouth. With one
change of the bulk, water trans
portation can be had to and
from Priest Rapids and any
port Of the world.
Longest Dam in World
"The Columbia falls 80 feet
in 9 miles at Priest Rapids and
the power plant, which it is
proposed to build at the s1sfoot
of the rapids, will develop 400,-
900 primary aH-the-year-rotrnd-
horsepower, and during the high
water stage an additional 300,
600 secondary power may be
produced. The dam will be 80
feet high and two miles long
the longest in the world-longer
than the Assouan dam in
Egypt"
Following description Of the
Yakima valley, Mr.. Pierce goes
on to say: "1t is the ambition
Of those who are to undertake
the development Of this power
to induce the building
of an industrial and CONNER
cial city at Priest Rapids-to
make of it the Niagara Falls of
the west. Priest Rapids is the
logical location for a large town,
The development of 100000
cheap primary horsepower
should make Priest Rapids the
great manufacturing city Of the
Manufacturers who
locate at Priest Rapids will have J.

Staples Not Made Here


Practically none Of the great
staples are now manufactured
or, the Pacific coast. Not a ton
of pig iron is made there though
100000 tons OF finished iron
and steel products were used
there during the last year. All
the ingredients for glass making
exist few miles from Priest
Rapids. The projectors of the
power project own lime stone
deposit of which. it is estimated
ID million tons are in sight. 1t
is estimated that the consump-
tion Of glass in Washington
and Oregon alone, exclusive of
window and plate glass, is
1000 carloads annually, all of
which is shipped in the east.
"The Priest Rapids power
project is the largest in the
United States with the excep-
tlon of the power possibilities Of
the Niagra and st. Louis rivers
Hydro-electric power can be
produced at Priest Rapids as
cheaply as at any point upon
the American continent. Cheap
power in great quantity, COM
bined with water transportation
to any part in the world, affords
an almost uncqualled opportu-
nifty for industrial use, largely
in connection with the electric
furnace where the cost of power
is principal factor .

A meeting of bankers from

booster for the Hunt plan but
with different preliminary steps

perience with the present apple
marketing machinery, deemed
Growers, marketing agencies

Baseball has greatly increased the average boys know

MORE probable explanation is that this lad is not in

that he Is mot cut out for it, There is such thing as
having no Arithmetic sense-just people never
