"Apart altogether from its be-
i1g an important addition to tax
able property within the state, it
is project which, by providing
against all present as well as a
gainst any likely demand of the
immediate future for power, in
sures that no prospective new in
dustry seeking a location in any
part of our territory will be disap-
pointed either in the matter Of
Immediately available supply of
electricity or in prevailing rates
since our average is the lowest i'll
the United States.
"Since the Baker River plant
is tied in with our transmission
system which covers practically
all of Western Washington, we
are enabled to. deliver its power
at almost any point where it may
be needed and, as a result Of this,
by obviating the necessity of oper-
ating isolated steam plants, we
have recently reduced rates for
domestic and commercial light
ing.
SIT must also be borne in mind
that although, the Baker River
generates about $4,000 horsepower
at present, the plant is so con
structed that by the mere addition
of anoher unit to the power house
and the installation of more ma
chinery, very material increase
in its output may be attained on
very short notice and at compar-
atively nominal cost.

pany. AS result of this, its earn.
ings will be distributed widely
among company customers and
security holders, while, at the

been added to the tax-rolls and
thus helps to reduce the burden
upon all taxpayers of the state.
The dam, which is one of the
main features of this plant, is 263
feet high from bedrock to the
top of the flood gates-many feet
higher than any building in the
Northwest with the single excep-
ton of the Smith Building tower
and contains enough concrete to
construct five hotels similar in
size and type to that Of the new
Olympic in Seattle.
Draining a watershed of 270
square miles. including snow-cap-
|ped Mt Baker and Mt. Shusksan,
a reservoir of 1850 acres in extent
and of a maximum depth of 200
feet will be formed behind the
dam. From the intake at the dam
to the penstocks, tunnel 900
feet in length and % feet in .di-
ameter, inside the concrete lining
has been constructed.
By increasing the operating
head from 200 feet, as originally
planned, to 230 feet, each of the
big Allis- Chalmers turbines now
installed, will deliver about 25,-

terly Indifferent to fine clothing,
regular lodgings, honors, money.
Once, when he was in funds. he
bought a whole case of wine and,
having no place to cool 1t, he con-
cealed it in the flowing waters of
the famous Medici fountain in the
Luxembourg Garden.
For fifty years he has been the
philosopher of the sidewalk. His
study is the table in front of a
cafe where he sips his wine.
Others have sung of love and

things to eat and drink. He wakes

The on-coming generation of
French writers quote with delight
some of his sayings such as:
