fers a more favorable opportunity for
development of waterpower than the
slopes of the Cascade and Olympic
ranges of mountains in Washington
and Oregon. The general elevation
of these high mountain ranges is
from 5000 to 5000 feet above sea
level, with several glacier peaks from
10000 to $4,000 feet elevation. The
streams draining these areas reach
the sea level or the Columbia River in
a comparatively short distance, MAX
ing available the rapid fall favorable
for Development of waterpower. Ano-
Their factor that adds to the great
value of this region for waterpower
development is the heavy mountain
precipitation averaging from 80 to
$50 inches. A winter precipitation
forming snow and glaciers insures an
abundant water supply and a uniform
flow during the entire year.

CEMENT

MERE going to have a regular
w modern, up-to-date cement works
in this town. If there is anything you
want made of cement go tell him
about it. This is just another step
of progress in the developement of
our resources. Mr.. Howe has been
all over the good old U.S.A. and has
operated plants in few places that
looked good to him. Now he tells
the editor that this location sure
looks good to him and that he be-
lieves that the plant will be big
success if it is handled right and he
also believes that he can handle it.
1t sure looks to us that there must
surely be something worth while in
store for those that want to put their
shoulders to the wheel and tread it
out. Anyhow, if he is willing to go at
the business that has already failed
here once and make go of it, let's
not be the one that sends any cement
business out of town that can be
done by our own manufacturing plant.

WASHINGTON is
POWER LEADER
State Commands One-Sixth
of Total Water Power
of United States

Great mountain ranges mean more
than magnificent scenery. Plunging
water falls and foaming torrents,
beautiful to look upon, represent one
Of the greatest sources of produc-
tive wealth known to man = cheap
power.
Nearly one-half Of the potential
water power developement of the
United States lies within the Pacific
Northwest, the hinterland of the state
of Washington. One-sixth of the ma
tons total, 8,647, 900 horsepower, is
within Washington itself.
Washington, per square mile, has
the greatest waterpower resources Of
any state in the Union, according to
reports of the United States Geolo-
gical Survey. This state has l25
horsepower for every square mile,
Oregon has 68.4, Idaho 60.4 and Mon
tana %. California has 49.4 horse
power of potential development per
square, while the leading states in
the east are New York with 34.3 and
West Virginia with 1875 horsepower.
What this means in the daily lives
of Washington's citizens is revealed
by the statement of Robert Sibley,
editor of the Journal of Electrically
and Western Industry" that the av-
erage annual per capita consumption
of power in the Northwestern states
is 678 kilowatt hours per year while
that of inhabitants of states east of
the Rocky Mountains is only 372 kill
owatt hours.
In the states of Oregon and WASH
ington nearly a quarter Of the power
now generated is used for lighting.
Streets of small towns of Washington
rival Broadway in their brilliance.
Railways consume nearly 40 per cent,
manufacturing more than 43 per cent.
Electrified homes are becoming the
rule, while The application of che
power to agricultur is only in it's in
fancy.
What will it mean when this wat
empower is fully developed? Here is
a vision of the future:
One million horsepower will cleo
trify 100000 homes, operate 2,4OO
miles of electrified railways, provide
for mining operations employing 49,
600 miners, operate $4,000 factories
100000 persons, irrigate
/ ,25O,000 acres of land supporting
more than $4,000 farmers. 1t will do
all Of those things at once. The po-
tential waterpower- of the state of
Washington alone, an area covering
nearly 10000 square miles, will do
eight and one-half times that.

ticed under modern methods, neces-
stating the use Of expensive machin-
cry and equipment the expense will
be great. The farmer who grows a
few acres of corn can hardly afford to
own a corn binder; nor can man
with five or six cows afford to use a
milking machine. Again, if many
crops are grown in separate fields,
the expense for fencing is great.
What has been said has been in
reference to the great grain growing
region of eastern Washington; but
the principles involved may be well
applied to other kinds of farming.
Where alfalfa is the leading crop,
cattle and hogs might we'll be kept.
There is always a local market for
dairy products or the hay may be fed
to stock cattle and feeders.
Where apples are the chief crop
some forage crop planted between
the trees and the Gull apples will pro-
duce few head Of hogs at very
low cost. Again, in case of a poor
apple market, if the grower has part
of his orchard set to peas or prunes
these may lessen the loss brought
about by low price Of apples.
Individual circumstances must
guide a man in selecting the kind
of farming he prefers. Some men
do better with fruit, or wheat or poul-
try than they do in general farming.
So which kind Of farming to do IS
an individual problem in the hands
of the farmer himself. But he must

adapted to his conditions or circum-
stances or he will not succeed. In
general the farmer with high acre

tunities to many more. To them her

THE bank statements published in
this weeks issue give fair in
dication of the vicinity's business. FL
nancially the banks are stronger now
than they were a year ago. Totals
have fallen off from the figures Of a
year ago but the drop in the amount
of loans is more than twice as great
as the drop in deposits. The "tight
period" We have just gone through
with, is proving of value to the peo-
pie in teaching them conservation,
and the statements issued indicate
that the community is on the upgrade.
The nations business is steadily in
creasing and Kennewick will not lag
far behind. Nineteen twenty-five gives
every promise of being good year.

Ecng Lsgs, Big Brains,

An American psychologist, DR..
Henry f.. Garrett, asserts that the best
brain worker Is the man with long
arms and legs and small body. Men
with short arms and legs and big
bodies, he declares, are more suited
for some manual trade, or at least
line of work requiring steadiness and
accuracy rather than quickness of
mind.
This theory was recently tested by
Doctor Garrett and DR.. Sante Nacca-
rati, New York specialist in nervous
and mental diseases, on 300 students
at Columbia university. The results
tended to show that there is very
definite relationship between bodily
structure and intelligence.
Doctor Garrett states that of the
men examined, 70 per cent of the
small-bodied, long-legged men. 40 per
cent of the normal men, and Is per
cent of the large-bodied, short-legged
men showed high intelligence.

that the National Labor Council, that

to jump into the political arena at
any time and offer to take charge
of state or national affairs.

a condemnation of bloc, class and

SH0EMAKERS' CHILDREN
HAVE NO SHOES

1t has been a common expression
that shoemakers, in the old days be-
fore machine manufacture, were so
busy making shoes for others that
their own children had to go bare
foot. This has often been true in
other trades where bridesmaids
afmily had to go without the very
things he dealt in because the
public was first supplied.
And we are wondering if this
principle is true in education. Re-
Gently We heard the pointed criti-
cism of mother whose son had

is SENATOR
EDWARDS GUILTY?

When Edward I. Edwards was
running for Governor of New Jer-
sey he made the promise that if
he were elected that he would
"make New Jersey as wet as the
Atlantic" Certainly Governor Ed
wards did not make any serious eff
, Govt, at wiping out bootleggers dur
ing his term of office.
And when he ran for the United
States Senate ii was on the record
he had made that got votes from
wet voters in the hope that he
would do something to make void
the prohibition law. If he has done
anything in this line the public
hasn't found it out.
But now comes the testimony that
he has been actually aiding in the
moistening of the State in a very
practical way. Whether this testi-
mony is true or not remains to be
proven.
Dry agents testifying in the Wee
hawken rum running scandal this
week have testified that Senator
Edwards, as banker, has been
financing the rum runners now on
trial. OF course the Senator denies
it.
But isn't it in line with his avow-
ed purpose in being elected?
Recently the challenge was made
in Washington that if prohibition
were really and truly enforced that
it would cause such reaction that
the law would be recalled. There
is much truth in this.
Everyone who comes in contact
with the activities of life in broad
way, Except reformers and preach
ers,l admit that prohibition has only
succeeded in raising the price of
liquor and lowering the quality of
it. There is just as much to be
had now If you have the price and
the inclination.
II Senator Edwards has been
financing rum runners he has been
helping to keep prohibition in eff
feet. For as long as those who want
1t can get it, they won't be so con-
cerned about multiplying the prohi-
bition act And this is what the
Senator claimed to want to do.

+ DIT O RI A L S
THE ROOT OF THE EVIL

A broad-minded minister, one
whose calibre is much larger than
the average, and who is not afraid
to look at life and admit what he
sees, once said to me that pro-
hibition was wreaking havoc among
boys and girls under age. His state
ment was prompted by the fact
that he was called upon to minister
to a mother whose offspring had
fallen victims to drink supplied by
bootleggers.
Recently girl of sixteen years
killed her mother because she de-
manded that she cease spending her
night carousing around with BOOKING
and petting parties. She is now in
Jail, disgraced for life and damned
in the eyes of the public. Before
prohibition she could not have Sc
cured the liquor that crazed her.
But bootleggers, being already out
side the law, will sell as readily to
boys and girls as they will to
adults.
In Brooklyn this week boy and
girl were jailed for bootlegging.
Another boy, a clerk in a drug
store, was stealing the liquor that
they were selling. Not only are
children falling victims of drink I'M
der prohibition, but are actually en-
gagged in selling it. And these are
but instances of hundreds of cases
that daily appear to careful news
paper readers.
And yet minded preachers
and fanatical reformers are rub

what wonderful benefits prohibition
