PRIEST RAPIDS is NEXT
SAYS MRS. KOPPEN

Looking forward to a shining
and prosperous future, residents
of the White Bluffs section are an
ticipating the construction of the
great Priest Rapids dam across
the Columbia, according to an in
terview given the Yakima Herald
last week by Mrs. F. C. Koppen.
According to Mrs. Koppen, the
construction company that is build
ing the Chelan dam is planning to
put in the Priest Rapids dam, and
as the Chelan dam is completed,
the construction equipment will
be RATED down the Columbia to
Priest Rapids.
The DePont company of New
Jersey is especially interested in
the site, and is bargaining for
cheap water power, in case the
dam is erected, and will establish
a manufacturing plant there.
Several German manufacturers
have already looked over the site
for possible future factories, and
have expressed themselves as be-
ing greatly pleased with it.
"And who could help liking it?"
asks Mrs. Koppen, "it really is a
marvellous country. Altho it is
right along the Columbia, White
Bluffs is only Alb feet above sea
level.
1.-THE climate can not be match
ed. The winters are milder there
than in Yakima. and spring is ear
lier. The crops are protected, and
the ranchers make as much as 81
so a crate on their first strawber-
ries, and received % and 80 cents
pound for their cherry crop, of
ten double what is received for the
Yakima crop, when it goes later
to market"

mend Vacation in California
quo Local Business Girls Attend the
National B&PWC Convention

Lena Madison Phillips, national
president, presiding. Miss Phillips
is an outstanding lawyer in New
York City. Add to this most fas-
cinating personality and it is easv
to see why every session was
packed. At the business sessions
all delegates sat in specific places
on the main floor. They, with the
officers had the power to vote. All
visiting members sat in the bal
comics. On the platform with Miss
Phillips sat the rest of the nation
al officers and a paid parlimentar-
ian ready to settle all disputes a.
rising as to form and procedure.
The discussions waxed fast and fu-
rious at times but were intensely
interesting. At these business ses-
sions all matters of policy and bus
mess were taken care of for the
ensuing year b ydelegates from ev-
cry state in the union. For those
attending national convention
for the first time it was a bust
ness education in itself. Incident
ally, the parlimentarian held class
es every morning for those who
cared to attend.
The afternoons were given over
to round table discussions of pro-
blems important to the federation
and to delightful trips planned by
the hostess club. One day it was
a boatt ride around the entire har-
Dor with a view Of Goat Island,
Golden Gate, San Francisco and
other points of interest. We were
served a delicious lunch on board
and entertained by an orchestra.
At the Northwestern luncheon,
entertainment and favors were
furnished by the three northwest
ern states. The favors included ev-
erything from wooden menu cards
from Longview to sacks of wheat
from Pullman.
At the reception early in the
week we were all given the oppor-
tunity of personally meeting the
president and other national offic-
ers. They are splendid group of
women who are doing big things
in their own line as well as work.
ing for the good of all women thru
the federation.
At the banquet each guest re-
ceived souvenir vase made from
the famous California red wood.
This was a gift from the hostess
club. At this time Miss Phillips
made her presidential speech which
further won the hearts of the 5000
who heard her. A Chinese editor
from San Francisco gave us a
most interesting talk on the Chin
csc situation. We were next intro

Charles Foster, superintendent
Of the state elections division, told
county auditors in their recent
convention that the voters will
strongly support a permanent reg
istration bill in the next legisla-
ture. Mr.. Foster was anticipating
the usual difficult campaign for
registration in 1928 and suggested
that the hope of doing away with
periodical registration might stim-
ulate eligible citizens to register
early in the coming presidential
year.

FRANCE SURPRISED

PARIS, Feb 10. Up = President
Coolidges proposal that the Wash
ington agreement relative 20 capital
ships be extended to other naval
armament has taken Paris unawares.
The French government has been
favorable thus far to every reduc-
ton in armaments compatible with
security. 1t was remarked at the
foreign office this evening, but be-
fore definite opinion could be
given on Washingtons latest sug-
gestion, the memorandum must be
translated and studied
France, it was added, had shown
her interestes in disarmament by in
sisting in the face of certain oppo-
sition on an early conference on the
subject Whatever opinion the gov
ernment may have of the American
proposal when it has been amply
thought over, it was affirmed that
France would welcome sympatheti-
cally any practical proposition con-
sistent with her security. Recognl-
ton in the memorandum of the spe-
cial position which France holds so
far as concerns other than capital
ships has made a favorable impress
sion, though there is some inclina-
ton to consider the proposal as aimed
at submarines, type of vessel re-
garded by France as absolutely es-
sential for the security of her sea
routes to her colonies.

SET FOR The
1927 LICENSE

Deputy Sheriff o. A. Ash announce
ed last night that he will continue
the rest of this week keeping the
offices of the deputy assessor open
so that persons wishing to apply
for automobile licenses may do SO.
During next week the offices in the
city hall will be kept open during
the afternoons and on February 20
the authorities will start prosecut'
ing persons driving motor vehicles
that do not carry the 1927 license
plates.
Deputy Ash stated that he had con-
ferred with Sheriff Henshaw on
Thursday afternoon and had receiv-
ed these instructions. 1t is pointed
out by the officials that an un-
usually large amount of considera'
ton is being shown delinquent NOR
orists this year and it is fully ex.
pected that when the arrests are
made beginning February 20 drastic
action will follow in every case
The officials cannot think of any
good excuse that might be offered by
a motorist for not having obtained

LONDON IS PLEASED

Thus far there has been no com

president Coolidge's overture is
most timely. There should be no
doubt of Great Britains willing ness
TO meet suggestion sympathetically."
"The Daily Chronicle, while stress.

Great Powers Besought
to Limit Their Navies
Continued from Page one)

marines, Coolidge continued:
"The desirability of such an agree
ment has been apparent, since it was
only to be expected that the spirit
of competition stifled as regards
capital ships and aircraft carriers by
the Washington treaty, would, sooner
or later show itself with regard to
the other vessels not limited under
the treaty. Actually, I do not be-
lieve that competitive building of
these classes of ships has begun.
Nevertheless, far reaching building
programs have been laid down by
certain powers, and there has ap-
peared in our own country, as we'll
as abroad, sentiment urging naval
construction on the ground that such
construction is taking place else
where. In such sentiments lies the
germ of renewed naval competition"
So far as land air ornaments are
concerned, the president said, the
United States could not be considered
factor in any limitation discussion
since this nations army and air
strength already have been reduced
to a minimum and constitute
threat to no one.
Both the presidential message and
the note to the naval powers, copy
of which also was sent to congress,
was made public simultaneously in
Washington, London, Paris, Rome
and Tokyo shortly after noon today
under carefully prepared plan de-
signed to place the presidents views
directly before the people concerned
Copies of the note also had been sent
to the governments of. Brazil, Ar
gentina and Chile, constituting the
principal naval group in Latin
America, for their information.
Chairman Borah of the senate for
eign relations committee always was
an advocate of arms limitation and
was one of the first to express his
unqualified APPROVAL of the Step taken
by the president. He was seconded
by Senator Curtis of Kansas, the re-
publican floor leader; Chairman Hale
of the naval committee, and many
others.
Some of them expressed doubt
whether the move for further limi-
tation would succeed, however, Sena-
tor Reed of Missouri describing the
plan as a "stop gap" which would
come to nothing.
Particular attention was paid to
that part of the presidents note ex-
pressing Willingness to extend the
5-5-S ratio of the Washington treaty
to cruisers, destroyers and subma-
rines so far as the American, British
and Japanese navies are concerned.
The ratios for France and Italy
would be left for discussion at the
conference.
Most observers appeared to agree
that this recognition of special con-
ditions with which France and Italy
have to deal in the Mediterranean
was a bid for their participation IN
the proposed conference, since it
would not commit them to any pro-
posal in advance.
