NEW YORK, April 2S.-The Curb
Market today was taking it's cue
from the movement of the general
body of stocks on the Big Board.
There was no doubt that action
of the u. S. Steel directors in placing
the common stock on a regular 81
dividend basis had favorably infiu-
enced speculative sentiment. Wall
Street took this is an assurance of
continued industrial prosperity.
Those who had been reluctant about
making new commitments showed
more of a disposition to come in on
the buying side. The price improve
ment in most instances was slight
and as trading proceeded the market
turned quiet again. but most of the
early gain was maintained.
The manner in which Electric Re
frigeration responded to buying
orders gave the impression that a
short interest still existed At 64A

new SUBSTATION BEING
BUILT AT WHITE BLUFFS

The Pacific Power & Light com
pany is building a substation at
White Bluffs. The constantly grow
ing load here, which will be increas-
ed when the cold storage plant be-
gins operations this fall, has made
necessary changes in the present
manner of serving this district White
Bluffs now receives its energy partly
from the Coyote substation and part
1y from the Hanford substation. A
temporary transformer not now in
use will be installed and a sub line
will connect it with the Hanford-
Priest Rapids line. Later, company
officials say, a transformer of suffi-
cient capacity to serve the entire dis
trict will be installed at White Bluffs
and the Coyote substation dis
mantled.
The new suhstation here connect
ing up the different lines will give a
much better service.
The location of the new substation
is on the corner just west across the
road from the John Dover Lumber
company.

ACTUAL WORK BEING DONE

Two fills, one within the city limits
of Wenatchee and about 500 feet long,
will probably keep the crews construct
ing the road bed of the Wenatchee
Southern railway busy until the last OF
this week, said John Larson, foreman
on the job, according to Tuesdays
Wenatchee Daily World. Over go
feet of railroad bed had been built up
to that time, work which had neces-
STATED the use OF considerable powder
in moving the great boulders which
covered the section where construc-
ton is now under way.
George w. Nelson, cd time railroad
builder, in charge of construction on
the Wenatchee Southern for the Rail
way Construction company of Seattle,
was called to Seattle for few days the
first of the week. The engineer, Walter
Bowen, who in running new lines on
the road was but short way in ad-
vance of the construction crews last
week, was able to outdistance the
workmen over the weekend and is
now sufficiently far ahead to eliminate
any chance for this work to hold up
construction, the foreman said.

THOSE WHO MUST REGISTER
IN ORDER TO VOTE

All precinct registration officers in
Benton County have received the fol-
lowing letter from County Auditor E.
O. Keene, on registration OF voters,
that is of general interest.
Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived with reference to the neces-
sity for registration for participation
in this years election, and for the
purpose OF answering these questions
this general letter is being sent out.
Registration officers were appointed
for four year period, and the stat
utes require complete new registra-
ton every four years. The registra-
ton of two years ago was the first in
the present four year period, and the
registrations made at that time still
hold and those registering then will
not have to re-register in order to be
entitled to participate in the election
this year. This applies to all rural
precincts, or precincts without the
limits of incorporated towns in which
a complete new registration every two
years is required. Only those in your
precinct who failed to register during
the past two years, and those who
have since last election acquired
residence in your precinct are required
to register prior to participation in
this years election.
"You have, no doubt, prior to this
time received request from the Sec
retary of State for list of all regis
tered voters in your precinct. This
list is required that copies of all pro-
posed Constitutional Amendments
and Initiative and Referendum Meas
urc; may be sent to the voters for
their information. Possibly some OF
you have failed to forward this list.
If there be such, l trust that you will
give this matter your immediate at
tertion, including in that list only
the names of those who are now resi-
dent within your precinct, to the end
that these pamphlets may be placed
in the hands OF all voters. Ycu are
entitled to five cents name for all
voters certified to the Secretary of
State.
II trust that an effort will be made
to procure full registration in your
prcc net, as it is only possible through
full participation of the American
people in political affairs to carry out
the principles underlying the formation
forty-f-ve or fifty per cent of the voters
OF our government. Too often only
participate in our elections, and where
three or four parties have tickets in
the field it is possible for bare fifttea
or twcaty per cent OF those part:cipat-
ing in the election to determine the
policies of our government. l ask your
cooperation in an effort to secure as
nearly complete registration as
possible"
