WATER USERS TO MEET

The Board of Trustees of the
White Bluffs Water company at a
meeting Sunday afternoon decided to
call special meeting of all of those
who have been receiving water from
that system during the past irrigation
season. This special meeting will be
held in the grade school building in
White Bluffs at 500 p. m. Thursday,
October "a. This year the company
furnished water for approximately
200 acres but the owners of over half
of this acreage have announced their
intention of securing their irrigation
water next year from individual
pumping plants on the river or from
wells, and the special meeting on the
24th is to acquaint all of those who
have been receiving water from the
plant with this fact so that they may
begin now making preparations for
next seasons water.
Designed for the irrigation of APP
proxinately 500 acres of land when
it was built back in 1908. the White
Bluffs Water company plant was wa
tering the past season only about two
fifths of that acreage. Many with
drew because they could get double
the amount of water from the wells
for Approximately half what they
were paying the water company. Be-
cause of this shrunken acreage the
plant can no longer be economically
operated. The maintenance charge
during the 1929 season was $2l per
acre. This is just about twice as
much as that paid by those who are
getting their water from wells and in
addition the plant could furnish only
about half as much water as is Sc
cured from wells.

PLAN DRILLING OF
Deep WELL IN TOWN

The trustees of the White Bluffs
Water Works, the company that fur
nishes water for the town, have been
discussing lately with ID. L. Clark,
deep well driller, the proposition of
drilling a deep well in town, the pos
sible depth well would have to be
sunk before a sufficient quantity of
water might be secured from what
is known as the second flow, and the
probable cost of such we'll being,
of course, the most important factors
in such an undertaking.
The only deep well ever drilled in
this vicinity upon which there is any
datJ, is the one drilled number of
years ago on what is known as the
II ffreiter place, near the Columbia
river and almost directly east of the
Bleakley orchard. The man who
drilled that well lives near Mckee and
he, told Mr.. Clark that the well was
sunk to depth Of approximately 600
feet; that the formation encountered
most Of the way down was soft, a
good deal of it being clay; that sever
al streams of water were struck at
various depths, and that when he
ceased drilling operations the water
came to within 8 feet of the top of
the ground.
Being in the center of the saucer
like surface formation, this valley, in
the opinion of all biologists who
have been here, covers artesian water
the only question being the depth
one would have to go to get it. There
is, however, a question as to the
value of artesian water. In nearly
every case the supply is limited and
wherever it is found it seems to be
only matter of time until the num-
/ Der of wells drilled exhaust the pres
sure.
But a good flow of water below the
surface formation would be very de-
sirable. Not only is water from such
well nearly always pure for drink
ing. PURPOSES but as rule it is soft
and much more satisfactory for all
domestic uses.
Now that it seems that wells are
to furnish the bulk if not all of the
Irrigation water in the valley, the ques-
i ton of whether or not the surface
supply might be augmented by a
i good second flow from drilled well,
| is Of interest to everyone.
| On the basis of 600 foot well, US
ing s-inch casing the first 100 feet and
six inch the rest of the way down, MI.
Clark estimated that it would cost
approximately $4,000. He said he
would be busy on his two well con-
tracts in the wheat country until about
the first of the year but that he
| could he NUor here ar that time RI 90
to work if he was needed.
The trustees;sof the Water Works
plan to put the proposition up to the
stockholders Of the company in town
in the near future and if it meets with
sthair sfrosaI to secyaiss-sornea finana-
ing plan can be worked out.

A PEEP AT the PAST

One of the most unique attractions
ever offered by manager Edmund
Anderson 70 the Liberty Treatre was
the demonstration of spinning given
Wednesday of last week before the
showing Of tn picture, Chang" by
Mrs. Helena Anderson, "cighty-one
years young"
The spinning wheel used was a
hundred years old and was one that
formerly belonged to the Andersons
although now it is the property OF
man on the Coast. Grandma An
aerson, who is still as light footed
as any girl, was as skillful as ever in
demonstrating how the grandrnothcrs
of yorc spun the yarn for the socks
and wooden clothing for their fami-
lies.
The spinning held the close interest
and attention of the large crowd that
filled the hall, very few of whom had
ever seen anything of the kind be-
fore.

SAYS DAM WILL Be
BUILT IN NEAR FUTURE

I. M. Connell of Seattle was Wis
itor in White Bluffs the latter part
of last week. Mr. Connell is in the
real estate business on the Coast but
during the past few years has sold
a number of parcels of land on the
north side of the Columbia river,
between Priest Rapids and Wahluke,
and some land on this side Of the
river.
He is much interested in the de-
velopment of the Priest Rapids pow
er site and said he was confident the
dam will be built some time in the
near future. He had letters from the
Federal Water Power Leasing board
Indicating that the second applica-
ton of the Washington Irrigation
& Development company for Ii
cense would soon be up tor
consideration by the board. He also
had blue print map from the leas-
ing board, which was copy Of the
one that the law requires must be
filed with the board by the company
asking for license. This map showed
that the. dam, instead of being built
straight across the river, will be
built in sort of Z-shape, and that it
will be located quite little distance
above the present power plant there.
This location is significant because
it dissipates the belief held by some
that the settlement of the water case
here, in which the present power
plant is involved, could in any way
interfere with the plans for building
the dam. As shown in the blue print,
the dam could be constructed with
out disturbing in any manner the
power plant there now or the canal
that furnishes water to operate it.
