BY L. N. FRY, Managing Secretary,
Riverland Irrigation District

Few people realize the low or the
high cost Of power and the reasons
why. Here are some Of the causes and
the remedy:
In the first place, there probably are
not many, if any, small sized pumping
plants used in the Columbia valley
that are so per cent efficient. The
owner of plant might say, my pump
was guaranteed for IS per cent or even
more" That no doubt is correct, and
no doubt delivered the guarantee the
first year, but in order to maintain
this high efficiency the working parts
inside the pump must be kept in first
class condition This can only be done
by replacing the worn parts with new,
which should be done at least once
each year if the efficiency is to be
maintained.
AS soon as the pump becomes worn
little the efficiency drops off ire
mendously, or down to so per cent, and
in most cases 40 per cent or even lower.
When this happens you are paying
double for your power. You may not
realize it, but you will be getting only
half the water-and that means double
the cost.
You might say that If your pump is
not pumping as much water it is not
using as much power; which is true
to certain extent. But on account
of the worn parts the water bi-passes
inside the pump and good deal Of it
never reaches the end of the discharge
pipe Then again, when the gland nuts
are kept too tight, it requires more
power and pumps no more water. In
other words, pump that only de-
livers one half the efficiency that it
should is costing the owner or .oper-
ator double
Another plan to reduce the cost of
irrigation is by installing central
pumping plant: let one plant do the
work of dozen or more. This reduc-
ton is brought about first by the extra
efficiency received from "a large unit.
The larger the unit, the higher the eff
cheney usually is up to a certain limit.
You can easily get double the efficiency
from large pump that you get from
from small one, thus reducing your
cost by one half with the first step.
At the regular published rate of the
Pr. 81. for 200 horse power, the billing
for six months would be around $5,-
652.00, or $28.25 per horsepower as
against $4,000, which is the rate paid
when using small pump, which
means another saving Of one-third in
power costs.
To make this comparison a little
clearer, we will take for an example
a horsepower plant with a pump
efficiency of 40 per cent. It will deliver
200 gallons per minute to q total head
of 40 feet at cost, per month, of $500

TWO YEARS LABOR brought six
convicts in the Walla Walla state pen
itentiary but few hours freedom
this week, as all but two of the eight
escaped men were recaptured within
"a hours after escaping from the prison
through a tunnel.
It had taken them two years to dig
the tunnel, and they escaped as soon
as the job was completed. Their alb
sence was noted at breakfast, within
a few hours of the time they escaped.
