IS IT OR IS IT NOT,
A FISH STORY?

w. W.. Jcrn,ane of Washington, d
c., who has an article on some pub.
lie subject each day in the Seattle
Times, had the following to say in
the issue Of January 80 on the posi-
bilities for the developement of the
Priest Rapids power site in an art
Gle dealing with hydro electric devel-
opement in the United States:
officials Of the Federal Power
Commission have been questioned by
members of Congress regarding the
Priest Rapids project, which has been
hanging fire for several years. The
people back of that developement
were given preliminary permit for
three years in the fall of 1920, and
prior to its expiration they applied
for a license, since which time the
matter has been pending, largely In
order to- get adjustments between
state interests and fishing interests
on the Columbia River.
@. C.lsMerrill, executive secretary
of the commission, does not know
how long it will take to get things
ready for the beginning of work. For
one thing, there has been a delay on
account of an investigation under
taken by the industrial fishermen, the
state fish commission and the power
people, to determine whether it would
be possible to take the salmon over
high dams.
Only few thousand dollars were
available for the investigation, which
Mr.. Merrill says was started at about
the worst place that could have been
selected-on the, dam of the North
western Power Company, on the
White Salmon River. An elevator
was built to take the fish over the
DAM. Not being able to get the fish
up the elevator because Of lack Of
water, the investigating committee
scooped them out down below.
wrapped them up in gunny sacks,
where they dumped them into the
water. They were caught up in
baskets and put. over the dam"
Mr.. Merrill says the fish survived
that treatment, whereupon the in
vestigators believed would be safe
for them to 60 ahead with their
plans; and he adds:
Y II have no doubt that if the inter-
ested people are willing to spend
enough money. they can get the fish
over this dam by cscalators, elva-
tors or fish ladders. giving them
meanwhile plenty of resting pools.
The proposals that have been made,
however, look to the spending of only
about $4,000 to S15,0o0. On dam
like that at Priest Rapids, it may be
necessary to spend as much as $780,
600. If that much money could be
raised, there is no doubt that the
trick can be turned. Salmon 60 in
huge numbers over the dam in the
Willamette River, where there is a
fish ladder between two pools with

DOCTOR LOCATES HERE

Dir. w. c. Hills, who recently came
to Washington from Colorado, has
decided to locate in White Bluffs for
the general practice Of medicine.
DR. Hills knows. something Of the
problems Of irrigated countries hav-
ing practiced for a number of years

tiers of the Belle Fourche irrigation

DR.. Hills took post graduate work
in both Chicago and Denver. He will
have his office in the back of the
Fred Nj. We'll Office building until
more suitable quarters can be secur-
ed. DR.. Hills is married but has no
children. Mrs. Hills, who is a gradu-
ate nurse, will not come to White
Bluffs for the present, being detained
on the Coast caring for an invalid
sister.

IMPORTANT SCHOOL
ELECTION FEBRUARY IA

Notices were posted this week for
an election to be held on Saturday,
February IA, for the voting of an ex-
ira 10 mill levy in the White Bluffs
school district for the operation of
the schools next year and a reduction
of the districts indebtedness.
Nearly everyone interested in the
school will remember that about a
year ago the financial condition of the
district had reached point where
those in authority said they could not
allow the school to continue unless
definate assurance was given that the
indebtedness would be cut down. The
district at that time was 5000 over
its legal indebtedness. A financial
plan was then worked out and put
into operation and with the 10 mill
levy voted last year and by pruning
the operation expense in every possi-
BILE way, the district will be able to
pay all of it's operation expense this
year and reduce the past indebtedness
approximately $4,000. The directors
say they expect to continue their
economy plan and II the residents OF
the district vote the 10 mill levy on
the l4th, they hope to make as good
a showing this year as they did last
year and thereby wipe out all Of the
past indebtedness.
If the ten mill levy fails, it is more
than probable that the district will be
without high school facilities next
year.
The election will be held in the
high school building and the polls
will be open from to p. m.
The situation is serious and de-
serves the earnest consideration and
active cooperation of every resident
in the district

among the school children. Only by
earnest work can this trouble be over

Orders for 10000 sweet potato
plants we're given by farmers in
the vicinity of White Bluffs. at the
meeting held in the high school an

FIVE acres. Orders yet to be taken
