Plat Amendment
May Be Strapped

HAVANA, Dec. IL. WP-Presi-
dent Ramon Grau San Martin said
today that Sumner Welles, United
States ambassador, had expressed
to him a disposition to abandon
the Plat amendment to the Cuban
constitution which authorizes Am
erican armed intervention in Gu
ba IS affairs.
A treaty of friendship and COM
merce, Grau said, would replace the
Platt amendment if its abandon
ment were authorized by the Amer
lean government.
The amendment has ranked in
the minds of many Cubans. Other
Latin Americans have cited it as an
example of their contention that
the United States seeks to domi-
nate the affairs of sister republics
, in this hemisphere.

FRANCE WILL.
IGNORE DEBT

PARIS. Dec. IL. U.P)-France will
ignore completely the debt INSTALL
ment due the United States on Dec
ember Is, the United Press learned
today.
Unless there is a last-minute re-
vision of the government S atti-
tude, it is probable that France will
not even dispatch any note ex-
planning the default, as she did ON
July IS.
The cabinet, discussing economics
and national finances, touched only
briefly on the United States treas
ury's memorandum to the debtor
powers, and "failed to take action. -
Members of the cabinet asserted
that circumstances were unchanged
since July, and that France feels
obliged to defer further payments
until she is offered a new debt ar
rangement which will fit in her gen.
eral plan for economic rehabilita-
ton of the world
1t was stressed, however, that
France els not attempting to breal,

Heated senate opposition to the St

In that event Mr. Roosevelt

session after congress adjourns to
act on the treaty. The world court
could be disposed of at the same

called meeting to be attended by
all the commissioners of Franklin,
Grant, Adams, Yakima and Benton
counties at White Bluffs Saturday
noon, June II. 1t is believed that all

The meeting is being called for a
discussion of the ten million dollar
bond issue which has just received the
sanction OF the state Supreme Court
Although it is not known as yet how
this money is to be distributed among
the counties, or to what specific uses
it is to be put, it is hoped that por-
ton Of it will be used on the East West
highway, particularly that section OF
road between Othello and White Bluffs

River Level

The first of these readings was made
on April 3, 1893, and the last on June
9, 1893.
The average difference amounts to
about $50 XIV. additional that the
plant is able to produce this season
over that of last season, when the
river is at the same level The maxi
mum increase is 200 XIV, and the min
imum increase is 80 XIV.
The increase is made possible, say
the directors of the district, by the
deepening of the canal and by the
construction of a breakwater along
the upper stretch of the canal where
previously the water drained into the
river at lower level than it does this
season.
BY constructing this breakwater the
water level Of the cafal is kept at a
higher stage. Comparative readings
show the effect the higher level has on
the power output. In 1892, on June 20,
the river reached the peak of 480.65 at
the plant. On this day the canal level
was 1914 feet, and $50 XIV were pro-
duced. In 1888, the river reached the
4SO.65 stage on June 13, and the water
level in the power canal on this day
was 495.5 feet, IL feet higher than
the season before, and $50 XIV. were
produced, or an increase of $40 XIV.

State Game Protector
Advises License Purchase

N. p. Palmer, State Game Protector
for this district, was visitor in White
Bluffs Tuesday.
Mr.. Palmer said that all sportsmen
of this valley should be sure to pur-
chase license this year and respect
the game laws, as the state depart
ment has declared for rigid enforce
ment of the law
Under the county game control
system, exceptions were made in GER
tain instances, such as whitefish fish
ing, but under the present system OF
control, enforcement will be most
rigid. Game protectors have as much
authority in one area as in another,
and will probably be moved from one
district to another, now and then. The
only way for hunters and fishermen to
stay clear of the courts is to obey the
law"

year the partnership was dissolved and
Mr.. Campbell took complete charge Of
the store with Robert Campbell Of
Kennewick as his assistant. Since then
Mr.. Campbell's wife and children have
come to White Bluffs to make their
home.
Mr. Campbell had no previous ex-
perience behind the counter" and has
found it very interesting and educa-
tional. His business is steadily growing
and becoming firmly entrenched as one
of the White Bluffs business houses
The store is located in the building
once used by H. j. Upton and owned
by Martin O'Brien.

River Passes
Peak OF 1892

After steady rise during the past
few months, the Columbia river today
surpassed the peak of 1882, and con-
tinued to rise. The 1882 peak, reached
on June co. was 524.5 feet, and today
June is, the river stage at the Coyote
pumping plant was 525.2.
This mark is already higher than
the peak of the river in seventeen out
of the past twenty-three years.
During the past week there has been
some flood danger reported from the
lower section of the river but 1T is
now thought that enough of the snow
along the headwaters of the river has
been melted to reduce the danger OF
extreme floods.
The highest river stage ever record
ed at the Coyote pumping plant was
1894 feet reached in 1916. This is 80
feet higher than the river stage today
and there is little probability at the
present time that that stage will be
reached this year.
