Work at Priest Rapids
Is Nearly Completed

The work of repairing the wheels IN
the two units of the power plant at
Priest Rapids is progressing satlsfact-
orily and unless unforeseen trouble de-
yelops the job will be finished and the
plant ready. for operation around the
first Of February
The task of removing with the coun-
ty drag line the large boulders from the
power canal is nearly completed also,
and the crew Of men engaged in this
work is expected to finish this week
or the first of next, when the drag line
will be moved down to the power plant
to be used in removing some OF the
large boulders from the tail race and
to build up and strengthen the retain
ing wall there.
An unexpected condition developed
when the boulders were removed from
the power canal. 1t had been pre-
sumed that these boulders rested Oh
basalt rock but when they were taken
out it was found that in a number
of places the formation underneath
was other boulders, sand and clay This
formation existed in number OF
places along the 1000 feet of the canal
where the boulders were removed. This
means that the cost of deepening the
canal will be much less than had been
anticipated, as the expense of drilling
and blasting the basalt would have
been quite heavy.
The present stage of the river, which
is nearing the annual low water mark
is such that the power plant, if ir
operation, would be capable of devel-
oping about 1000 kiloWatts.

Settlement in Tax Case
Awaits New Legislation

All efforts to effect compromise
settlement of the Northern Pacific tax
suit have been abandoned, at least for
the time being. The boards OF county
commissioners of Benton, Yakima and
Kittitas counties, at meeting last
Week, passed a resolution in Which 1t
was proposed that the railroads in
volved pay half of the sum set forth
in the previous agreement and the
other half within ten days after the
intervention action of N. G. Mann had
been determined.
The Northern Pacific, however, said
they could not entertain the proposal
and would take no further action LOOK
ing toward an adjustment until a state
law was passed authorizing the county
commissioners to make the settlement
A bill granting this authority is now
being drawn and will be presented to
the state legislature now in session.

The clear and beautiful January days
that have been shining over the Priest

because the entire preceding month OF
December could boast of only seven days
that we're wholly without clouds. On
ten days the sun did not shine at all
and on 81 days the skies were over
cast most of the time. The minimum
temperature was experienced on the

CHICAGO, Jan. % G.N.SO.-
Arrested on a charge of conspir-
ing to defraud the Illinois Life
Insurance Company of $1,000,000,
Ernest j. Stevens, a director of
the firm now in receivership, was
at liberty today on $4,000 bonds.
Stevens arrest was ordered on
State warrant when it was
learned he had obtained Euro
pean passports for himself and
his family.
1t was revealed that the affairs
of the insurance company would
be placed before the grand jury
next Monday.
Named with Stevens in the war
rant IS fellow conspirators were
his father, James w. Stevens, 80
year-old chairman of the COM
pany, and his brother, Raymond
w. Stevens, president.
The conspiracy charge was
based, it is understood, on receiv-
ers' reports showing that the
Stevens family had taken insur-
ance company funds, posting as
collateral third mortgage bonds
and stocks issued on two large
hotel properties. This collateral
today is virtually worthless.

controversy before the House

day.
James A. Simpson, president of
the National Farmers Union, de-
mandeG that Congress abandon
all other remedies for the eco
nomic situation until the pur-
chasing power of the dollar has
been reduced.
Representative Crowther (R)
New York, challenged this rem
edy for the business situation.
Simpson testified on the Hill bill
to adjust the tariff to stop i'm
ports from deprecated currency
countries. Simpson asked:
Instead of blaming the
cheap money Of other nations
why not blame our high priced
gold dollar? Instead of raising
our tariffs why not reduce the
value Of our dOllar?"
Methods Have Failed"
He said the Hoover. moratorium,
the R. F. c. act, and other SINH
lar measures have failed. He
added:
"ThiS is a battle between
creditors and debtors and I'm
for the Debtors
Crowther answered:
"The records show that COM
modify prices have not been in
creased by initiation in other
countries"

that tolerance"

restriction proposed in the bill,
asserting it would throw upon
American farmers the entire cost
of stabilizing the world market
for farm prices> He said:
