 The development is located at Lit teton and Monroe and the line will pass through 90 towns and cities, a distance Of 126 miles. Over this transmission line from the development, which cost about $to,o0o,o00, the company plans 10 send power for distribution 10 Mass achusotts points in and about Bos- ton through the Edison Electric H. luminating company,

COMMUNITY CHEST
FOLLOWING the lead take

= most of the progressive cities
in the country, Kennewick is plan
ming to inaugurate the community
chest system. There is much to be
said in it's favor. .....--..
Eliminating the haphazard CIV
ing to door-to-door solicitors, the
community chest budgets its re-
turns and gives to each worthy or
ganization its just share of the do
nations. Each citizen knows, when
he makes his contribution, that he
is giving to real cause, not a
sham which plays upon his feel
ings and doubts in order that an
undeserving rogue may live with
out work. .sz- I.
Collections and canvassing are
thorough, because the combined
civic organizations of the town
stand behind them. We hope that
the plan, as outlined at the last
meeting of the committee, will go
through without further bitches.

About Time, All Right

At wedding all went we'll until
the bridegroom was called upon to
produce the ring. In vain he felt in
his trousers pockets. Nothing could
be found except the hole through
which the ring had evidently fall

What was he to do? Suddenly a
happy thought struck the clergy
man.
"Taloe off your shoe," he said.
The suspense and silence were
painful. The young man removed
his shoe. The ring was found, also
a hole in his stocking. The clergy
man remarked, evidently with more
than the delay of the ceremony on
his mind:

were married."-Tit- Bits, London.

these days, and the Priest Rapids
power plan is no exception. But
we might as we'll make up our
minds right now that no construc-

until a market for the power is de-
veloped. The Priest Rapids plant,
which must be constructed, in its
entirety, will not be built while
other plants, which can be built in
less expensive units, are supplying
the present demand.

Gardner has left second time,

predict, will have the deuce of a

kept sharp eye out for these cocoons
On young wild cherry tree he found
a number They looked like rolled,
dried leaves.
So it was that presently ahead of
him he noticed a big, gray object in
one of the bushes. It seemed to be
;:lst little higher than his head It
was just the color Of the old fence
rails. He knew right away what 1t was.
He remembered that last Summer he
had seen 1t there when he was looking
for birds nests, but that it had been
very small then. He had not been over
that way-that is, not at that particular
place-since last Summer, and so he
had forgotten all about this thing.
My goodneSs!" exclaimed Farmer
Browns Boy. Those bald-faced hor-
nets certainly did build a big nest 1
must have look at that"
Now, hornets are really wasps, you
know, and this nest toward which
Farmer Browns Boy was hurrying was
| like a great, gray globe made of a sort
OF gray. paper, which the wasps them
selves had made. 1t had been their
Summer home. 1t was made of several
layers of this paper material. The
wasps had made this paper by biting
tiny fiberS of dead wood from old rails
and trees and buildings, and working
this in. their mouths until it had be-
come this gray paper. Some of these
nests are very wonderful. This one
that Farmer Browns Boy had found
was a particularly nice one.
THAT is one of the biggest and best
nests I have ever seen," said Farmer
Browns Boy, talking to Bowser the
| Hound and Flip. There must have
been lot Of hornets in it last Summer.
| Yes, stree, there must have been a lot
of them! But they are not there now.
| Most of them die when cold weather
comes and those that do not die hide
| away in cracks and crevices and In
buildings to spend the Winter. Then
when Spring comes each one starts a
new colony That's what makes it safe
to take one Of these big, paper castles
| into the house. This one is a dandy
and I'm going to take it home
! Farmer Browns Boy got out his
! knife and opened it. Then he cut the
branch to which this big, gray nest
was fastened. And as he cut it some

On a Prison Shin.

The French prison ship La Martin
iere on its recent semi-annual voyage
to Cayenne or Devils Island, as it is
more commonly known, carried the lar
gest and most conspicuous passenger
list in its history. There were nearly
700 men on board, including several
rather distinguished persons who had
become involved in capital offenses.
Most of the passengers" were housed
in four great cages with accommo6a-
tons for the warder in the center
where all are under his watchful eve
In case of any attempt to mutiny the
warder can turn on a Jet of steam
which Is calculated to subdue any such
outbreak in a few seconds. Besides
these four cages there are four steel
cells in which the more desperate
criminals are kept.

Tech today boasts its first base ball
win of the campaign. The Gray yes
terday conquered hard-fghting Con-
zaga nine, which was opening its sea-
son, Z to 6. A substantial early lead
enable Tech to win. The Purple raj
lied CALAMITY in the ninth.
Roland Price, Techs starting pitcher,
who pitched seven innings, did most
creditably. Capt. Bonnie Spigel, who
replaced Price. was reached for two
runs in the ninth, but then frightened
impressively, tanning two and forcing
another to fly out.
Tom Dunn went the route for Con-
zaga and did right well. His support
was mediocre, though, particularly In
the early going, and he was not SO
steady himself.
The score:
