Despite the fact that it was one of the most
unfavorable seasons in recent years for genel'-
alton OF excess power, the Priest Rapids irri-
cation district this year earned the largest am
CUNT OF any of the three years they have been
selling excess power.
This record was made possible by the install
latlon OF new equipment and the deepening Of
the power canal. In the 1882 season. the first dur
ing which the district sold excess power the river
was at a favorable level during most of the sea-
son, but due to wornout equipment and shall
low canal the plant was operated for only seven
months, with an average of 1895 worth of excess
juice being sold each month
During 1888, one of the most favorable years
Tor generation OF power at the Priest Rapids
plant, excess power was sold for ten months
an average OF $785 being earned each month. The
cause for this decrease was the loss of one tur-
bine.
During the season just past, the average
monthly sales, including one month in which
power was sold for less than one day, and another
IN which the plant was shut down for a number
Of days, was approximately $1,000.
During the winter of 1882 1888 while the plant
was not in operation and the winter of 1888 1884
while the new turbine being installed, the
power canal above the plant was dredged out in
several places, and the tail race deepened In this
way larger drop was secured between the head
of the canal and the power house, and less back
water was created below the plant, with result
tant increase IN electrical energy generated. The
new turbine, which increased the efficiency of the
plant by considerable amount, also accounts for
large part OF the added reveue of the past year.
This new equipment and improvement work
has nearly paid for itself in year, for with the
old equipment and shallow canal, there would
have been but little power for SALE
If the next season is normal one, as we have
every reason to expect and the level of the river
does not rise too rapidly in the spring fall
off too rapidly in the fall the landowners of the
district will be given an opportunity to appre-
ciate the full value of the districts improvement
work with regard to the power plant.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1934-10-18

| it is quite true that Mr.. Wells unwit-
tingly spoke the truth, that 1t will be
war to end war. We are wonder
ing, however, just what Mr.. Wells had
in mind when he made that statement.
Was he thinking of new obligation
Of brotherhood that would be uni
yersally accepted? Did he have in
mind the birth Of civilization In
which the survival Of the fttest would
no longer be factor? Was he think
ing Of golden age Of universal peace
when, Swords should be beaten into
plowshares and spears into pruning
hooks, when nations shall no more
lift sword against nations?"
We do not think Mr.. Wells had any
such high moral ideal in mind. "War
to end war" was shouted from the
house tops in the last International
struggle, and many young man vol
UNFAIRLY went into the conflict fully
persuaded that he was making the SUI
preme sacrifice that would end all war
and make the world safe for de1noc-
racy.
War will never end war so long as
war is at all possible, that is, so long
as there are men willing to fight and
plenty Of ammunition with which to
fight. War will end war only when
war is no longer possible. When CIV
ilization refuses to furnish either men
or guns, war will be thing Of the
past. If this Is what Mr.. Wells meant
he was right.
The peace Of the world will be
realized not through destructive but
constructive methods. Public opinion,
national conscience and reverence for
personality will stop war without any
bloodshed.
Another war will doubtless end fur
Their wars for the reason that chemical
and aerial warfare already threatens
the permanency Of civilization. The
way to prevent war in 1910 is to be
more concerned about the manufacture
Of poison gases and other preparations
being carried on in almost every ma
ton. With the constant increase in
new death-dealing inventions which the
airplane can and does carry, civiliza-
ton In the war area Is to be wiped out.
