Priest Rapids Power
Plant In Operation

The power plant at Priest Rapids
was put in operation for the first time
this year last Thursday afternoon. At
the present stage of water In the Col
unbia river, only one of the turbines
can be operated, and an average load
of 400 XIV. is being generated.
The flow of water in the river con-
tinues to fluctuate, up one day and
down the next, but is expected soon to
begin it's annual rise which will con-
tinue until the peak is reached, gen.
orally around June Is.
Another rise of three-tenths OF a
foot will supply sufficient water in the
power canal to operate both turbines.
In it's present condition the plant is
capable of generating maximum load
of. approximately 1000 XIV.
The annual spring task Of getting
the pumping plant at Coyote Rapids
in shape for the seasons run, was be-
gun Monday Only minor repairs are
to be undertaken at this time but it
is possible that more economical
pump may be installed later If funds
are available.

Woman's Club Sponsors
Fl. S. Essay Contest

Under the auspices of the Woman's
Club of White Bluffs, an essay con-
test is being conducted in the history
and civics classes at the high school.
The essay is to include at least six
hundred words developed around the
subject, my Part as Citizen"
It is to be judged primarily on the
basis of subject matter with due con-
sideration given to originality Of treat
ment, neatness, and organization, and
a prize is to be made by members OF
the Woman's Club ssgsss
It was believed wise to carry on the
contest in the history and civics classes
because of the better background that
students in those classes would be
likely to have. Already great enthu-
siasm has been shown in the splendid
way in which the students have re-
sponded with preparatory outlines.
Even if no prize were offered, the
benefits derived from study on the
subject, the JOY of competition, and
the opportunity given to organize ones
thoughts and express them to the best
of ones ability should be incentive
enough.

Attempt To Be Made To
Bring Oil Rig to Valley

Encouraged by what he believes to
be the possibility of oil on his lano
in the In-B-Tween, John Griffith says
he expects to go to the Coast next
week in an effort to induce a driller
to come in and test out the prospect.
A part of Mr.. Grifath's land is low
and marshy and is subirrigated, due,
presumably to seepage from the irri-
CATION canal nearby.
In an effort to clean up this plot
of ground, Mr.. Griffith set fire last
week to the dead grass. The fact that
the flames continued on the ground
for some little time after the grass
had all been burned sending the flames
and a black smoke high in the air, he
thinks, may indicate that it was caused
by oil seepage from below.
Biologists have said that the gas
that has been flowing now for several
years in the gas fields in the Rattle
snake hills, about Is miles distant
comes from an oil bed somewhere and
Mr.. Griffith says he is convinced that
this oil bed underlies most OF the land
in this valley.

Vale Grange to Contest
For State Championship

The final game for the state basket
ball championship in the Grange will
be played at the North Bend high
school gymnasium Friday night, March
"a, at 1880 pm.
Vale Grange, Benton county, has
been declared the champion team OF
the Grange for eastern Washington,
following a long string of wins and a
forfeiture. Delta Grange, Whatcoml
county. has won the title for the coast
section of the state and is prepared to
buckle into Vale Friday night when
the two meet at North Bend.
Both teams are in tip-top form, full
of confidence, and when they clash
at North Bend sizzling melee is pre-
dicted in which the static will strain
fraternalism almost to the bursting
point-but not quite.
This is the first time in the history
of the Grange in Washington that any
attempt has been made to determine
the states best in basketball.
The success of the first Grange base
ball state championship series played
at Yakima last summer encouraged
Grange News to sponsor a similar
event in basketball.

Moratorium Declared On
Insurance Premiums
By M. Voorhees,

With an official act that brought him
public notice throughout the country
early in his career as Washington
state insurance commissioner, William
A. Sullivan recently took far-reach-
ing step to protect policy holders of
this state.
Sullivan is the first commissioner in
the western half of the United States
to declare a life insurance premium
moratorium as a result Of the closing
of banks by President Roosevelt.
The commissioner issued the follow
ing executive order:
due to the present bank holiday
all life insurance companies doing
business in this state are hereby in
structed to extend the present grace
period on all life insurance policies
issued to residents of the state Of
Washington for an additional thirty
days. This additional extension is ap-
plicable to all policies on which regular
grace periods expired on or aftel
March 4, 1888"
Il feel this will work little hardship
on anyone, and know it will protec
many policy holders who find them
selves in difficulties because of pres
ent national conditions" Sullivan com
mented.

Apple Market
Has Taken On
Firner Tone
PRICE HAS ADVANCED IN PAST
TWO WEEKS AND GROWERS
FEEL ENCOURAGED

A moderate advance in price ana
a. firmer tone to the apple market IN
the last two weeks, together with a
heavy consumption during February,
have encouraged those engaged IN the
industry to believe that the cleanup
of last years crop will be better than
the previous year.
Sales of Delicious were made Mon
day in Yakima and Wenatchee at $l.lu
for the extra fancy grade and 81 per
box for the fancies for the standard
commercial pack, while three cars OF
the top grade, packed in cartons, were
sold at $1.25 per package. The general
run of sales, however, has been at
lower price than those mentioned.
Yakima shippers have expressed the
opinion that further advances IN the
price of Delicious might hurt the deal.
A wise course, they think, would be to
sell Delicious at prices now ruling ana
let any further strength OF the Market
go to the Winesap variety, OF which
the Yakima and Wenatchee districts
have ample stocks in good condition
The strength of the Delicious market
was attributed to the fact that sales
were made freely at low prices in De-
cember and January, whereby size
able tonnage was passed into consump-
ton. Consumers who heretofore had
| not used Delicious freely did so, and
the boost in prices has been accepted
| readily The large eastern markets
have not taken the advance on these
apples and the sales at the higher
prices have all been made in outlying
markets.
The general quotation on Winesaps
Monday was 80 cents for the extra
fancy and 80 cents for fancy, and sales
were made at these prices. For special
sizes a higher price was asked and at
least one sale of the fancy grade was
made at IS cents.
In harmony with the advance in
price of other commodities, higher
quotations were made on potatoes.
Monday, growers received SO ton and
sacks for the No. grade and 81 and
sacks for the No. 2 grade. Coast mar
kets have taken the advance to SO a
ton, but declined to accept the boost
to 5000.

''Pentateuch" Proves
Undoing Of Spoilers
BY w. j. jenkins
Grange Correspondent

The regular social meeting Of the
White Bluffs Grange Thursday even
ing, March 16, was called to order by
Worthy Master l.. w. Beldin. A rev
items of business we're disposed OF
hastily, so as to allow all the time pos
sible for the geographical contest and
spelling bee that were to follow.
A new departure was instituted by
Mrs. Lula M. Johnson, lecturer pro-
tenn who introduced the geographical
spelling bee, with names of towns,
cities, rivers, counties, states, noun
tains, etc. of the United States being
permissible. Two sides were chosen as
in regular spelling bee the two cap
tains appointed being Helen Wheeler
and Forrest Heath. The captain who
won the privilege of beginning chose
his own word to spell. For instance,
beginning with the spelling of the word
Seattle, Number l on the opposite
side would choose word beginning
with the letter E, the last letter OF
the previous word. This second WORD
chosen being "Ellensburg," the third
chosen necessarily must begin with G,
the last letter of "Ellensburg," and so
on. AS the spelling progressed, it be-
came more difficult for the spoilers to
find words, duplication being prohib-
tied. Some we're spelled down because
they could not spell the word OF their
own choosing; others were disqualified
for taking up too much time trying to
think of new ones. Quite number
were still on the floor and the even
ing was still young when Mrs. john
son called another old-time spelling
bee, which proved to be fully as In
teresting as the one held month ago
The final word was "Pentateuch" fol
the misspelling of which seven or eight
on each side went down, j. M Shinr
being the one who was finally victor
ious, and receiving a memorable little
prize of miniature dictionary con.

Much Evidence Offered
That Spring Is Here

Anyone doubling that spring is just
around the corner needs only to drive
through the country and notice the
number of people busy with their gar
den plots. The nights are still pretty
cool but it warns up around the mid
die of the day and nearly every one
wants to get out of doors.
The golf course is again becoming
a popular place for those who enjoy
that pastime, and baseball fans are
beginning to discuss the possibilities OF
a club here this year.
Growers are getting their orchards IN
condition for the dormant spray and
they are expected to begin applying
it this next week.

Selection of Crops
For 1888 Season
(By County Agent E. G. Durdle)

(By County Agent E. G. Durdle)
The question of selection of crops
for a part of the acreage is one that
is bothering quite few growers this
year, from the number Of requests that
are coming to us. With the probable
loss of large part of the strawberry
acreage as we'll as of the alfalfa acre.
age, particularly on the lighter soils,
there is quite a problem as to replant-
ing. This is always difficult question
to try to answer and during these
times seems to us is much more dltn-
cult than ordinarily.
Since many of the farms are OF small
acreage, the owners are always look
ing to the selection of crop which
will give high return per acre. 1t Is
this problem that is hard to answer.
For instance, the situation last year
was one in which the important onion
states produced less than 200 carloads
more onions than there were before,
which was less than 10 per cent in
crease and yet onions in Chicago were
selling during the month Of January
last for IS to 40 cents for so pound
sack as compared to the high prices
of the year before. This, of course, was
due to the decreased demand. 1t is
almost impossible to even predict with
any degree of certainty as to the price
of any of these highly specialized crops
for the coming season and in genera
one can say that barring unforeseen
circumstances there is not much as.
surance of good returns from any o.
them.
| It is for this reason that others WHIT
have made careful study of thi
problem are suggesting corn as a pos
sible crop on particularly the large
acreage. Mr.. Byron Hunter, who mad
a careful survey of agriculture in tn
Yakima valley last year, has empha
sized again the fact that there ar
thousands of tons of corn shipped from
the middle west into this territor
and that some growers are finding
profitable to grow corn for local con
sumption. A series of fertilizer plots Of

High School to Sponsor
Minstrel Show March 81

At last the secrecy aG CAAe AAAe" SSAAooA
Is over. At the Student Association
meeting last Tuesday, the Student
Council members finally made public
the reason for the several exclusive
and secret meetings they have had
recently. Their problem has been the
low state of the student treasury, or
as they say in Bookkeeping class, the
situation where the liabilities exceed
the assets"
The Student Council presented to
the members of the High School the
idea of a Minstrel Show and Negro
Jubilee as means of entertainment
and scheme to put little more money
in the treasury. 1t would consist OF two
main parts. At eight o'clock the min
strel would begin in the auditorium.
It would be made somewhat OF COM
munity affair, with important parts
taken by several local citizens. The
Negro cross-fre would be combined
with musical and dancing numbers put
on by members of the Chorus and
Tap-dancing groups This Minstrel
Show would be complete in itself, al
though it would not last for much
longer than an hour or an hour and
half, and should have parts that
would appeal to the very young, or TO
the older people. The admission would
probably be ten cents for the adults
and five cents for children and STU
dents.
Following this dark face program,
described above, at about $3.50, the
High School gym would then be open
ed for a Negro Jubilee and Old Time
Dance. Admission would be ten cents
straight. The other details of the dance
| would not be hard to imagine: Coon
Orchestra, maybe called the Cotton
Pickers', moaning out everything from
| Ozark Town Strutters Ball. to "Har-
lem Noon; plenty of square dances
and other old time dances with darky
as master of ceremonies; gala decora-
lions, and last but not least, plenty OF
good eats at nickel throw.
In this way one may attend part
of the entertainment or attend both
parts, according to his preference OF
the financial state of his pocket-book
The students received the suggestion
enthusiastically and promptly passee
motion indicating their acceptance
and indicating their support in en-.
deavoring to make the affair success
Assignments and committees were tt
be determined by the Student Council
and made known later.
The date suggested, and which seems
to be most convenient for all, is fol

to save the date, and come ready tt

Bulk Shipping of Apples
Favored by Association

Trustees of the North Central Wash
ington Growers Association, at their
annual meeting in Wenatchee recently,
went on record as being in favor OF
bulk shipment Of apples, especially the
lower grades of certain varieties, into
markets that will not take the high
grade, reports the Pacific Coast Packer
this week.
It was pointed out that wrapping
and packing low grade and low priced
apples of certain varieties has resulted
disastrously for the grower during the
past two or three years. These apples
could have been shipped in bulk to
certain markets, it was declared, at a
profit. A special low rate should be
obtained for such shipments as in the
case out of Idaho and from other
apple growing districts, they said.
In the past growers and shippers
alike have opposed bulk rate on the
ground that it tends to cheaper and
detract from the reputation OF the
Washington districts as producers OF
high grade fruit. There is always the
danger that INSCRIPTIONS receivers and
distributors may sort over and repack
these bulk apples and sell them as
graded fruit, they fear.
But the success of British Columbia
apple growers in handling portion
of their crop in this manner has made
profound impression on growers and
shippers in the Wenatchee district
It is proposed to first obtain a special
bulk rate and then experiment with
limited amount of shipments into
restricted territory.
