RUMOR AGAIN
STARTS DAM AT
PRIEST RAPIDS
Up River Town Hears Re
port that Big Project
will Soon be Started
REPORTS NOT AU-
THENTIC, HOWEVER
Stories Indicate other De
velopment Ready Rail
road Building to Start

During the last two weeks num-
Der of rumors regarding the starting
Of work at Priest Rapids have been
in the air, says the Hanford Column
bian in recent issue. Plenty of such
reports have been floating around
for more than a year, but one or
two of the last reported have at
least some of the earmarks of au-
thenticity.
The delay in beginning operations
on the big project has been attribut-
ed to several causes. In the first
place it has been reported that diff
Guilty has been experienced in dispos-
ing Of power which will be generated
at the plant, but according to the
latest reports this has not been the
principal drawback to the starting
of operations. The company to whom
the lease was granted has until
March 1, 1927 to start work but ac-
cording to the latest report work will
begin long before that time, in fact,
perhaps before the end Of the press
ent year. Certain matters in cOnnec-
ton with the building of the dam
have been Strengthened out and we
have been informed that but one
thing now stands in the way and that
this will be disposed of within the
next so days.
A resident of Hanford was re-
cent visitor in Wenatchee and while
there had talk with man who is
close to the situation and this party
informed the man from Hanford that
development on large scale in this
valley would start before the close
of the present year. The writer was
informed by prominent Wenatchee
man, man who is in close touch
with the proposed Wenatchee South
ern, that actual construction of the
road would start before six months.
This. he said, is authentic but would
not divuldge the source of his infor-
nation.
From two sources the writer has
been informed that work on the dam
may start within not to exceed 90
days. While those interested in the
construction of the dam have until
1927 to begin work, there no desire
on their part to postpone the start of
actual development,
We have been informed that par
ties who are interested in other de-
velopment which is contingent upon
the building of the dam and which is
also closely associated with the con-
struction of the dam, have mapped
out a certain course to follow and are
ready to begin their program upon
"a hours notice. Everything has been
prepared insofar as their interests
are concerned and they are merely
awaiting the announcement that ac-
tual work on the big project will
start, and they say this announce
ment will be made within 80 days.
So much has been said, so many
reports have been circulated during
the last two or three years regarding
the building of the dam that resi-
dents of this valley are skeptical as
to any and all talk which indicates
that actual work of construction go
ing to start, but there are those who
claim to be on the inside to certain
extent who say that the time for
the starting of actual development
is near at hand, and everyone hopes
that they are right.
