HURT
ASPOLE FALLS
ACROSS TRUCK
G. N. Carlson Burned by High
Tension Short and is Given
Chance to Recover; Artific-
ial Respiration Given

G.. N. Carlson, an employee of
the local power company, was Sc
verely burned by electricity just
before noon today. He is at the
Pasco hospital.
Mr.. Carlson and Cecil ludlow
had been sent to stub in pole
carrying the $4,000 high tension
line west of town near Badger can
yon. Mr.. Carlson was on the truck
operating the winch when a guy
wire snapped, whipped around and
knocked him off the truck. He
fell across the wire on the ground.
The power, arcing thru the brok-
en- wire, caused shower of sparks
some of which caused burns upon
Mr.. Carlson's arm and face. The
most severe injury was the burn
across the body.
AS soon as the power was cut
off Mr.. ludlow pulled Mr.. Carl
son from the wire. He had be-
come unconscious and was revived
by artificial respiration by Mr..
ludlow who then called for aid
and Mr.. Carlson was rushed to the
hospital, where he is given fair
chance for recovery.
Mr.. Hudlow's action was made
at some risk to his own life as the
line is again charged. at short in
tervals after artificial cut outs.

UNEARTH MORE
BLUE OK BONES
Find Remains of Huge AMI
NAL with Nine-Inch Tusk;
Tropical Region

The fact that the Kennewick re-
gion was once hot steaming trop-
zeal jungle was even more pro-
nounced early this week, when a
county grader crew uncovered the
bones of huge mastodon near Ho-
yer. The discovery was first made
by Frank Bens, when the grader
scraped through the shoulder
bones of the ancient jungle mon
ster.
County Commissioner Jay Perry
who is an amateur pre-historical
student and a seeker of Indian his
tory, said the soft earth was care
fully removed from around the
bones that are perhaps hundreds
of thousands of years old, only TO
have them crumble to dust after
being exposed to the air for short
time.
Perry said one of the tusks
measured a little over nine inches
in diameter at the stub.
Previous discovery of mastodon
bones in the region gives every
evidence that this region was once
the mecca for great hordes of
of these ancient long-haired ele-
plants.
With numerous disposits of pet
rified wood of the hard tropical
origin, fairly graphic picture of
this region may be drawn.

panies, including the Pacific Pow
er and Light Co.
The comlaints challenge the rea-
sonableness of the companies ir-

jective the department will enter
an order directing the companies
to furnish power service to all
farmers requiring it, pending the
outcome of the general investiga-
ton, Director Murray said.

Do we "save" daylight or do \

Pro and con-up and down w
the matter debated and discuss,
at the meeting of the chamber

And the matter is just whe|

are refusing 10 change and most
the others are in doubt.

asked for the sentiment of u
business men on the question.
The matter was discussed som

KENNEWICK IS
STILL LEADING
Take Easy Game from Pasc0
Sunday; Rose is in Rare
Form; Bye Sunday

Kennewick took Pasco to the
tune Of to / last Sunday on the
Pasco diamond. Pasco, who had not
lost game, looked tame to the
local team, who started off in the
second inning and scored one when
Hill doubled, went to third on a
wild pitch and scored on an error
to first; again in the fourth when
Anderson walked, stole second and
scored on Evett's hit; again in the
fifth they scored two on hits by
Hill and Hudnall, an unsuccessful
attempt to force and another hit
by Evett. Three scores were rung
up in the sixth on a. walk to Ellis
and hit by Clark and two bag
ger by Hill. Two more were brot
in in the eighth when Hill hit for
two bases and Hudnall walked and
Simmelink doubled. Pasco scored
their lone run in the eighth on
Evett's error followed by two hits.
Rose for Kennewick was in rare
form and had the Pasco batters
popping up all day. Kennewick
draws a bye in the league next
Sunday and will play the Yakima
Eagles on the home grounds. Man
ager Willsey has just about sewed
up the first half pennant as he has
only two games to play and to win
either of them or Pasco or Wapa-

pennant. Don't forget the Yakima

PROSPECTS ARE
GOOD NOW FOR
COLUMBIA DAM
Modified Plans Receive En-
dorsement; Expect Plant to
Pay for Itself by Sale of
Power; Aid Unemployment

A low dam of 145 feet instead
of $50 feet above the river level,
upon which a higher dam may be
superimposed at a later date, to-
gether with a power plant, both to
cost 100000, 900 instead of $780,
100000, to pay for itself in "a
years and then furnish revenue
with which to build the higher dam
as additional power may be need
ed, is the new plan upon which we
are working for the development
of the great Columbia Basin area.
DIR. Mead has just reported to
me that such a dam can be built
to furnish $4,000 kilowatt primary
power and 100000 kilowatt Sec
ondary power at high water and
said at the rate of 2 Ia mills for
primary power and IL mill for
secondary power.
Under this plan for a 100000
horse power dam the first step
necessary will be the formation of
a power and irrigation district in
the State of Washington with a
view to having it secure the pre-
liminary permit for the building of
the dam at Grand Coulee and the
making of contracts for the sale
of power to amortize the cost Of
the dam and power plant. These
contracts will then be used as a
basis for loan from the Recon
struction Finance Corporation and
from the unemployment fund of
the State of Washington.
Just what percentage of the ex-
penditures the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation will require the
State to make as condition for
advancing the balance of the
money, has not yet been determ-
ined, but a conference. of repre-
sentatives of the different depart
ments and Of the State Of Wash
ington with the President is being
planned for the near future.
This new plan is the result of a
with President Roose-
welt by myself and Mr.. A. S. Goss,
a member of the Columbia Basin
Commission of the State Of Wash
ington on April 18th. Following
the conference asked DR.. Mead
to make preliminary estimate un-
der this plan with a view to ar
ranging further conferences be-
tween representatives of the State
of Washington, the Reclamation
Service, the war department and
the President, to bring about the
adoption Of the plan.
Under this plan no special leg
islation by Congress will be nee
essary. 1t will furnish employment
for several thousand men for the
next four years. 1t will be the be-
ginning of the vast and mighty de-
velopment of this great river and
he surrounding country.
Mr.. James O'Sullivan of Spo-
zane, Washington, Secretary of the
Columbia Basin Commission of the
State of Washington, and Mr.. A.
5. Goss, of Seattle, and Harvey
Smith of Neppel, Washington, both
members of the Commission, are
mere for conferences with federal
officials.
| hope to arrange conferences
with the President to secure his
approval of the plan at an early
date, with a view to having the
people of the Columbia Basin area
form the necessary irrigation and
power district.
