makes his colleagues and the public

His brain works like an automaton.

VISIT PRIEST RAPIDS

"A party Of White Bluffs and Han
ford folks drove up to Priest Rapids
last Sunday to enjoy days outing
and to look over the power plant and
site. Although the level of water in
the Columbia raised little last week,
it is still unusually low for this time
of the year. The power plant has
been idle since the close of the irri-
cation season last October but Sam
Allard, operator in charge of the
plant, started it up Sunday, while the
crowd was there, to test it out. There
was enough water in the canal to
etart the machinery but the river
will have to raise about two feet
from the level then for the plant to
charge the line between the power
and pumping plants and six inches
more before enough power can be
generated to operate the pumps.
Because Of. the low water an excel
lent opportunity was possible to view
the rapids and to estimate the amount
of work that will be necessary to en-
able the plant to operate the year
round. G
Those making the trip were Mr..
and Mrs. I. c. Hawley, Mr.. and Mrs.
John McFee, Mr.. and Mrs. w. r.

went with the place, but they are hold

They will go from here to Tacoma,
where they will live or while, at least,
on some property taken in on the deal.
But wherever they decide t. settle,

his new location at Orofino, in Clear

While this move will be welcomed

idence in the valley.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Perry have been
active in all civic ard community ac-
tivities. Mr.Perry has been member
OF the Commercial Club for several

no mistake in advancing him.

expected to arrive next week and will
live in the Bonn cottage in the south
