Power Plant Earns Over
$4,000 in Six Months

The power plant at Priest Rapid.
generated a total Of $4,000 XVIII
during the month of August The power
demand at the pumping plant, how
ever, was heavy, approximately hall
of this amount being necessary to OPP
crate the pumps. The excess of 655,-
OTIS XVIII, which was delivered to the
Pacific Power e. Light company, to-
gether with SIS for labor and $2.S8 for
current furnished the Beverly line, will
net the district $1164.26.
The contract for the sale of the eX-
cess power, negotiated by the directors
of the irrigation district with the Pa
cific Power & Light company, has now
been in force six months and has re-
suited in net income to the district
of $5261 .13. This was divided as to
months as follows: March, $4,000;
April, $1439.63; May, $8O5.83; June,
$243.50; July, $725.91, and August,
$1164.26. The revenue from the sale of
excess during September should be
sufficient to carry the total for the
seven months well over $4,000.
This income, in the language Of the
street, is pure velvet as it was earned,
Receiver Chase says, without one cent
of additional expense to the project.
And if the contract for it's sale had
not been entered into, the excess
would have gone to waste

Large Vote
Is Expected
In Primary
LOCAL INTEREST rs CENTERED
IN CONTESTS FOR SEATS
IN LEGISLATURES

Because of the numerous contests for
the various congressional, state and
judicial offices this year, an unusually
heavy vote is expected to be cast in
all precincts in the state at the pri-
mary election next Tuesday.
Except for the two county commits
sioners to be nominated in the Ken-
newick and Prosser districts, there are
no county contests. Only those living
in those two districts vote on the COM
missioner candidates in the primary
County Commissioner HaWley is a
hold-over
But in spite of the lack of local color,
the contests for U. S. Senator, Con-
gressman, Governor and some of the
other state offices are attracting a good
deal of attention. Probably the keenest
interest in the primary in this valley
will be taken in the race between
George F.. Christensen and G. F. Stin-
son for the nomination for state sem
ator on the Republican ticket and the
nomination on the same ticket for two
state representatives
George O. Beardsley of Prosser is one
of these candidates. Whenever in the
past he has been a candidate he has
polled heavy vote in this part of
the county and there is nothing in the
cards to indicate he won't repeat. w.
X. Reader, another candidate for rep
resentative, has made very good i'm
preston on those he has met here
and he and Mr.. Beardsley will quite
likely be the two high men here.
The county commissioners this week
appointed the election officers for the
various precincts in the county. Those
for Columbia precinct are Otto Jaeger,
inspector; and L. N. Fry and E. E.
Meeker, judges. For White Bluffs M.
S. Meeks, inspector; and r. D. Barge
and Mrs. F. M. Wheeler judges. For
Hanford, r. w. MacDonell, Inspector;
and Mrs. M. r. Slavens and Mrs. Alex
McConnachie, judges. The polling
places will be in the Vernita school
house in Columbia precinct; Liberty
hall in White Bluffs and Masonic hall
in Hanford.
The White Bluffs and Hanford cleo
ton boards are entitled to two clerks
These are selected by the inspector and
judges.
The polls in the primary election
are open from 8 a. m. to 8 p. m.

Class Of 1888 Elects
Officers for Year

Soon the Seniors at the High school
will be coming forth with dazzling new
class rings. They have been interview
ing ring statesmen and writing for sam
pies of class rings since the opening
of school in the hopes of getting their
order in before other schools and thus
have their rings early in the year. They
are corresponding with firms in Wash
ington and Oregon as well as several
firms in the east. The class is making
particular effort to get good look
ing but durable sold gold ring for the
price which they have agreed they
wanted to pay.
Senior class officers for this year are:
President, Doris Hemker vice-presi-
dent Lenoir McMurry; secretary, Helen
Wheeler; treasurer, Louise Shinn
There are six boys and seven girls in
the class and while it appears that
the girls used their majority in this
election the boys are saying to them
selves that girls must always be al
lowed to think they are running things
whether they are or not.

The Sophomores have postponed the
initiation of the Freshmen until the
latter part of September or early in
October. This traditional Freshman
Week has generally taken place the
second or third week after school has
opened and gives opportunity for good
fun and also strict attention to rules
and regulations. Usually the Freshmen
are also given the work of some i'm
provement on the school grounds or
in the school building which is carefully
supervised by the upper classmen. This
year, due to the fact that several of
the Sophomores are finding it neces-
sary to remain out of school until af-
ter the fall work, the class decided at
meeting last Friday to delay the mi
tiation until all could be present. They
are busy with plans and will follow
the custom of closing the week with
an all school party at which the Fresh
men will be made the guests of honor.

Potato Growers Have
Large Crop to Market
By County Agent E. C. Durdle

In line with the potato outlook infor-
nation now available which points to
a surplus of potatoes this year, leaders
in the potato industry of the state
have held two meetings with the idea
of working out some plan whereby a
part of the low grade potatoes could
be prevented from going to market
The situation the last year was one in
which at least many No. is were sold
low grade potatoes were put on the
market and, OF course, the low grade
potatoes were sold at a greater loss
than were the No. Is. A meeting was
held at Yakima Thursday, August 25,
at the time the state potato committee
with representative growers and deal
ers met to discuss the situation. AS a
result of this meeting committee of
81, consisting of ID growers and seven
dealers, was appointed to meet again
Tuesday evening, August 30, to work
out some plan to present to a grade
conference which was called by Mr..
Barnes state supervisor of agriculture,
Immediately following the first meeting
and to be held September 10. This
committee met and the following gen.
eral recommendations were made:
The No. grade was to be left as it
now stands.
A combination grade of $3.50, which
all agreed would be 6040 as finally
put up, and to be sold only in one
hundred pound sacks, was recon-
mended. A number two grade with
minimum of two inches in size, to be
put up in cloth or burlap bags prop
erly marked as to grade and source
and to be sold only in the original
containers was the number two recon-
mendation. A determined attempt is to
be made to try to keep culls off the
market, particularly is the attempt to
be made to prevent Gull potatoes
shipped for stock feed to find their
way into channels of human consump-
ton. The recommendation was for car
lot shipments of culls only when it
was certified and only when they were
to be used as live stock feed or seed
purposes, granted that much good seed
stock might not grade under any other
grade and SO the need for provision
for this quality of potato
Baker grades were to be left as they
are
Everyone was agreed that if the en-
tire crop this year was put on the mar
ket that all potato growers would suf-
fer severe loss and the recommen-
dations to the grade conference to be
held later is merely to try to save the
situation for everyone concerned as
much as possible.

Local Ball Players Are
Eliminated from Contest

The White Bluffs Grange base bal
club was eliminated as contender fol-
the state Grange championship Wher
it dropped the decision to the Vale
team on the Hanford grounds last Sun
day by a score of IL to 3.
The White Bluffs team was handi-
capped by the absence of three of its
regular players and their places in the
lineup were filled by inexperienced
high school pupils These youngsters
were willing but their inexperence
proved costly and really decided the
contest.
The Vale team plays Columbia Valley

of this contest will face the west side
