Birmingham Electric Ex- ecuting Service Improve
 ment Program

As part of service improvement program the Birmingham Electric com pany Wednesday announced an exten- sive remodeling of their Birmingham and Ensley offices.
 To accommodate the increasing volume of business the main office will be enlarged by taking in two additional stores in the rear of the present head quarters. This will increase the floor space about one-third and is to be utilized in handling service matters with customers.
 The National Cash Register compa- ny is building several special rapid cash machines which are calculated to increase the number of customers handled by each cashier 90 and will materially reduce the time necessary for customers to pay bills. .9s
 A visible index file, containing avail able gas and electric service records for ;50,000 customers, is being placed within reach of the contract counter clerks so as to make possible the hand ling of installation records rapir pro- cess. A pneumatic tube system connect ing all other departments in the build ing with the first floor will be so arranged that customers will be saved, where possible, the trouble of going to the upper floors of the building to transact business.
 Labor Saving Devices
 New and better labor saving devices are being put on the market daily. The salesroOms are being remodeled for the purpose of showing these many im- movements. A competent and courteous sales force will be on the floor to ex- plain the workings and to figure the operating cost of the different appli- ances, not merely to sell, but as a matter of service to the public.
 As many of the customers use the telephone in their dealings with the company it has been arranged with the telephone company to install a new double switchboard, which will add several additional trunk lines and will require two operators to handle the calls instead of one.
 The Ensley. office is nearing com pletion and the company hopes to aa- hounce the completion of their main office improyements about December.

ITO PENALIZE FIRMS
 WITHOUT LICENSE
Friday Last Day To Evade 15
 Per Cent Increase

A warning that after Friday a penal ty of 15 per cent will be inflicted on all who have failed to secure business licenses was issued Thursday by Probate Judge J. P. Stiles. Only one third of those needing business licenses, have secured them, the judge said, adding that arrangements had been made tremendous rush Thursday and Friday.
 One. reason for the delay is thought to be that people are of the opinion tha tthe, period for securing business licenses extends until November 15, as is the. case with automobile licenses
 Judge Stiles added that automobile owners are not buying their new tags as fast as a year ago, and predicted another rush during the middle of the month, when autoists will try to get in under the wire.

Why the Grand Coulee is
A Geological Wonder
By F. W. Mecann

THE following article contains data
asked for by Gus Holm's, President OF
the National Parks to Parks Highway
Association, and written and printed
at his request. 1t or part of it will be
used to advertise this part of the state. }
Long ages ago in that portion of the
country lying to the north of the Col
umbia Plateau in British America there
took place gradual elevation of the
continent which in time so reduced the
temprature that continental ice field
was formed. this immense ice field fol-
lowing the law Of gravitation began to
advance southwark, securing mount
aims, hills. valleys and everything in it's
path, picking up and carrying along
great quantaties of rock, boulders,
sand, gravel. clay and all kinds of ma
terial. This greet monstes slowly ad-
vanced until it came to the northern or
higher margin of the Columbia Plateau
crossing and overwhelming the Colum-
bia River. BY this time it was long
way from it's starting point, and the
change so effected by its advance south
and to lower levels, so changed the
temperature that it acted as check to
it's further advance. and now immense
flood streams hogan to flow from its
front. 1t is common knowledge in this
part of the country that the glacier
damned the Columbia river at the head
of the Grand Coulee thereby diverting
the same, and ultimately eroding out
the Coulee. This requires explanation,
When the ice sheet had advanced this
far it had frontage of $50 or 200 miles
east of this point, the Columbia rives
was not only blocked. but it and its
headwaters were completely overwhelm-
ed and covered under mountains of ice
and debris The river was not crossed
at every point as the ice came down
more or less in lobe shape, therefore
no river but the great ice wall furnish
ed great flood streams carrying plenty
of eroding material that did the work
of erosion. As the source Of the ice
sheet began to sink to former level
the temperature began to raise and the
ice sheet began its retreat and the
drama was brought to close.

Chicago, who has made considerable
study of the glaciation of Eastern Wash
ington has this to say: 1.-The features
of Grand Coulee are of such magni-
tude and its history SO complicated by
local conditions that an entire paper
might well be devoted to it," 1t af-
fords the greatest example of canyon
cutting by glacial streams, not alone
for the Columbia Plateau, but for the
World.
Again, glacial river three miles in
minimum width, spilled southwark
here over the divide and down steep
monoclinal slope Judging by present
grades and attitudes of this structural
slope, the stream defended nearly 1000
feet on grade of approximate 10 per
cent few miles north OF Coulee City.
Ten miles from the river issSteam
boat Rock, nearly 300 feet high stands
alone in the center of the Coulee, an
object Of much interest itself, here the
Coulee is much wider than any other
place.
l have often heard people wonder
how it is that the water came this way
instead of some other, it is clear that
the Monocllnal dip Zone way slope) was
the, as in every thing else the food
waters followed the line of least resis-
lance. Again; "He says; Across the
monocline between Columbia River and
Coulee City the canyon is thirty miles
long and averages all of two miles in
width and 800 to 900 fest in depth. In
the making at least. 10 cubic miles of
basalt was removed.
1t is very probable that this immense
task was performed by the stopping of
cascades and cataracts which retreated
entirely through the monicliral uplift
to the deeper valleys of the Columbia
river and thus left the great notch:
that is grand falls below Coulee City,
consisting Of Dry Falls, Deep Lake
Falls and smaller unnamed falls mile
east of Deep Lake. The lip of the
smaller falls is 1875 feet higher than the
floor Of the channel to Dry Falls, yet
all were made by the same glacial
stream, and only Dry Falls and Deep
Lake falls were modified by the later
or wisconsin discharge.
The above gives some idea of the
tremendous eroding power of continent
tai ice sheets and their flood waters.
East of the Grand Coulee the more
mature soil is undisturbed, but west of
the Coulee is one great moraine extend
ing to the river opposite Chelan, this is
called terminal moraine. that is the
delta of the glacier. Is it any wonder
that men who understand the magni-
tuGe of this work or nature travel long
distances to study it at first hand.
Some three or four miles northeast
of Coulee City, due to a monioclinal
fexure in the besalt flow, there is no
coulee wall, the besalt walls being be-
low the gravel drift. This fexure left
a big depression here that was later
filled with gravel drift, this drift was
later cut to some extent leaving a ter
raced form action as it is now, so that |
an easy grade is made coming into the \
coulee from the east. On the west side |
