Processing Tax To Stay
At $1.00 During January

The processing tax on hogs will re-
main at 81 per hundred weight live
weight during the month of January,
1884, according to John G. Bowen, Col
lector of Internal Revenue.
The previous schedule as prepared by
the Department of Agriculture called
for an increase from 81 during Decem-
Der to $3.50 in January. Indications
point that similar changes may be
made in the succeeding months which
differ from the original plan as out
lined by Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace.

District Earns
$7,874.4l In
Ten Months
BROKEN TURBINE MAGISTRATES
PURCHASE OF POWER
DURING SUMMER

A net revenue of $787441 was earned
by the Priest Rapids irrigation district
during the ten month period from
March Is to December 81 by the sale
of excess power to the Pacific Power
and Light company.
Total earnings of the plant during
this period amounted to $8,558.87;
$8,2O9.37 being received for excess
power; $3.50 for switching charges on
the Beverly line, and $19950 for pole
rental from the power company.
1t was necessary, however, to pur-
chase power during the months OF
June and July to the sum OF $684.46.
thus cutting down the net earnings to
some extent.

&c. Lloyd Is
Laid To Rest
(Contributed)

With the passing Of Judge J. @.
Lloyd at Ellensburg last Friday even
ing the Priest Rapids valley lost a
loved and respected citizen and one OF
It's oldest pioneers, he having been
actively interested in the growth and
development of this district for more
than thirty years.
Judge Lloyd suffered paralytic
stroke. He was stricken suddenly as he
sat at the dinner table in his home
in White Bluffs on the evening OF De-
cember IA and his condition the fol-
lowing day was pronounced serious by
DR.. Taylor of Ellensburg, friend OF
many years standing, who in response
to a telephone summons came at once
to his bedside and, accompanied by
Mrs Lloyd, assisted in his removal to
the Ellensburg hospital. For two weeks
he calamity fought a losing fight, the
end coming Friday evening, December
20.
Funeral services were conducted Sun
day morning in the Ellensburg Cath
Ollie church, which was filled to over
flowing by sorrowing friends of early
days. Pail bearers there were fellow
members of the legal profession in
Ellensburg.
Following these rites the body was
brought to White Bluffs for burial, the
funeral cortege arriving at the ceme-
terry at about 2:30 pm. Rev. FIR Joda
conducted the simple but beautiful
service at the graveside in the presence
Of large concourse of neighbors and
friends gathered to pay their last re-
spects. The active pail bearers were D.
S. Wilkinson, w. j. Kincaid, F.. A.
English, Edmund Anderson, Fred Gill
huly and E. j. O'Larey.
James Collins Lloyd was born Janu-
airy %, 1854, at st. John, New Bruins
wick, and at the time of his death
lacked less than a month of being
eighty years of age. He came to the
United States in 1879, first locating ir
the middle west. In 1882 he was mar.
ried to Miss Ella Brown of Des Moines
Iowa, and with her in 1889 came tt
Ellensburg, Washington, and engaged
in business, later entering the law there
It was at this period that his interest.
first became more or less identified
with the fortunes of the Priest Rapids
valley, where his investments included
at one time the ownership Of the Dia
mond D ranch at Priest Rapids. II
1922 he came to White Bluffs, wher'
he established law Office and bull
a beautiful home.
Judge Lloyd stood high in his pro
fession, and Notwithstanding his ad
vanced years and failing health con
tinued actively in his work up to tn
last. Of conservative temperament
he was, however, throughout his lif
always identified with movements of I
constructive and progressive nature. HI
was the type of man who not onl
made but kept friends, not alone IL
this valley but throughout the state
and those who will miss him and cher
ish his memory are legion.
OF his immediate family he is sur
vived by his widow, Mrs. Ella F. Lloyd
sister, Mrs Alice Won Behrens, no,
an invalid, of Seattle; sister-in-laV
Mrs. j. c. Lloyd, of Brentwood, Cali
fornia, and four nephews, John Lloy
Butler, of OXnard, California, an
Ormond, Reginald and Collins Butler
all of Los Angeles.

Level Of River
Down A Foot
In One Week
COLUMBIA RIVER IS STILL EIGHT
FEET ABOVE NORMAL STAGE
OF SEASON

The Columbia river began the new
year by falling off slightly from the
peak reached the latter part of De-
cember. This stage was nearly as high
as the peak reached during the spring
run-oH for several years.
While records of the total run-of Of
the Columbia during the past year are
not yet available, it is estimated that
the flow was larger than for many
years.
The peak stage of 528.3 feet, the
highest stage of the river recorded at
the Coyote pumping plant since 1916,
was reached the latter part of June.
Since that time, the river dropped off
to fairly normal level, but during the
past two months has been much higher
than is average during the winter
season.
The highest stage this winter was
512.5 feet recorded December % at
the Coyote pumping plant. This mark
is about nine feet above the normal SOB
foot stage during the latter part of
December. It is also nearly as high as
high-water peak recorded in the years
of 1915 and 1926, when the river level
was 516.3 and 5162 feet, respectively
The river was at stage of 5113 feet
this, Thursday, morning.
The unusual run-of of the river this
year, while causing some damage along
the lower portions of the river, was
more or less favorable to the Priest
Rapids valley. The Priest Rapids power
plant was able to generate more power
during the early spring months, anc
during the fall months has been able
to produce electrical esaasggyyf at maxi.
mum capacity, thus earning more re-
venue for the irrigation district thar
had been expected. On the other hand
backwash from the tail race during the
high stage of the river put one of the
turbines at the plant out of commits
sion, and it was necessary to purchase
power for time during the summer
Since that time the plant has beer
operating with only one generator.
Improvement work at the Pries
Rapids plant has been held up all fail
by the high stage of the river. In 1913.
it was possible to shut down the plan
by the first of November and MAKE
improvements before the cold weathe
set in, but this year the river is 81
high that it is impracticable to shu
off the power canal. Since the cana
must be shut down before the installa
ton of the new water wheel can b
started, this work is necessarily bein
delayed. A drop of about six feet in tn
river will be necessary before this wor
can be undertaken.

BY DAN THOMAS

(NEA Service Stan Corrcspondent)
 Hollywood.-A new record in camera angles has been hung up by Harry Beaumont, director of "The Rear Car"-96 of them hav- ing been used on one small set. Practically the entire picture took place in a private car attached to a transcontinenta train, the type of story which sends shivers up any directors spine because of the diff ficulty in sustaining action.
 Beaumont overcame this diffi- culty by having the car built of removable sections so that he could move his camera about at will, thus giving the impression of greatly increased action.
 Blissful Ending :.
 It looked like a free-for-all wrestling match-but in reality it was just a group of young ac- tresses saying goodby to Ernst Lubitsch. The girls, about IF in number, had just completed their parts in "The Merry Widow" which Lubitsch Is directing.
