Sl3l4.73 Earned By
Plant In October

Since water had been turned out
of the ditch by the irrigation district
September 80, all power produced at
the Priest Rapids plant during the
month of October was sold to the Pa.
ciqc Power g. Light company, result
ing in one of the best months the dis
trict has had as regards power rev.
enue. The sale of power amounted to
$1299.73 which, with the SIS charge for
switching on the Beverly line, brought
the revenue of the district to $1314.73
for the month.
The Columbia river has been rising
steadily during the past few weeks
and is now five feet higher than at
the corresponding time last year. 1t
is expected that the power plant will
be in operation during the entire month
of November, as with the higher river
stage it will be impossible to turn the
water out of the power canal. Under
these conditions work on deepening Of
the canal will necessarily be postponed
D. S. Wilkinson, secretary Of the dis
trict, says that about the first of the
year the county treasurer will begin to
foreclose on all lands on which water
tolls of the district are unpaid. This is
required by law, he states, and
those landowners in the district who
have not yet paid their tolls should
manage to do so before the first of the

Title Necessary For
1884 Auto Licenses

And here is something to remember,
you will not be able to obtain your 1884
auto license next month, unless you
can show your county auditor a certi-
flcate of title to your car, obtained from
the State License Department. Appn-
cations are coming in very slowly at
Olympia, as there were only $4,000 re-
ceived up to Tuesday this week. That
makes about $4,000 auto owners still
without their certificates Of titlen winch
are obtained on payment OF fifty cents
and proper filling out of the applica-
ton. Here's something for everyone to
know: if your car was purchased prior
to July 81, 1888, you do not have TO
attach your bill Of sale or conditional
sales contract to your application, I'M
der a ruling made by the State Depart
ment of Licenses.
Quite a number of folks, who drive
cars also, have not obtained their
drivers license. $4,000 drivers licenses
had been issued up to Tuesday last
week, leaving about 100000 drivers In
the state who do not have a drivers
license. State Patrol Chief VIM. Cole
will soon be furnished a report of these
hundred thousand drivers, and will be
asked by the License Department to
round them up, it was announced by
the State License Division under Direc-
tor Harry Huse, this week.

CAR HITS TREE;
ONE IS INJURED

Coniston Pope of Hanford received
injuries about the head when the car
in which he was riding crashed into
tree near the Hanford Garage late
Saturday night The other occupants OF
the car, Hazel Jane Votaw and Donald
Griner were uninjured.
It is said that the lights Of an APP
preaching car blinded Griner, who was
driving, and he was unable to make
turn between the postoffice and the
garage, hitting the tree and damaging
the car to some extent.
It was first thought that Pope, who
had gone through the windshield, was
seriously injured, and Mrs. Biart, a
nurse who was residing nearby, was
summoned. First aid was administered
and the youth was taken to the hos
pital at Pasco. Examination at the
hospital disclosed that the injuries were
not as serious as first supposed, and he
is now recovering easily. Pope came to
Hanford from Alabama last spring and
