READY
RIGHT ON
AAA CHANGES
international News Service

AnGeFnaGlOnaA news service
Senate leaders prepared for
stiff battle today as plans went
forward to bring up the new
AAA amendments upon conclusion
of the impending fight over the
utility holding company bill.
Senator Byrd CD Of Virginia
and several Southern colleagues
planned to launch the fight
against the AAA amendments in
the Democratic ranks. The Re
publicans generally planned an
onslaught. Senator Byrd has in
troduced a series of amendments
robbing the Secretary Of Agricul'
ture of much of the power which
the AAA amendments would con-
fer upon him. He termed them
"dictatorial," and explained that
in his view, no one man in the
Federal Government should be
clothed with such authority.
Senator Borah (R.) of Idaho
agreed with the Virginia Senator,
and planned to join in the effort
to put through his amendments.
He termed the measure as ap-
proved by the Senate Agriculture
Committee completely unconsti.
tutional." He said the power OF
the Agriculture Secretary under
the bill must be drastically re-
duced before the legislation came
within the range of the constitu'
ton.
Senator Robinson conceded
that there would be quite a
fight" over the AAA amendments.
but predicted a final vote before
Saturday.
Representative Deem CD Of
Georgia in a letter to Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace, today de-
nounced "pyramiding" of AAA
processing taxes as nothing short
of profiteering."
He declared that not all mer-
chants, manufacturers, and dis
tributors are taking advantage Of
the situation, but a few in every
class Of commodity are "profiteer-
ing" on the consumer.
The entire procedure, Represen-
tative Deem declared, means that
the ultimate consumer pays from
seven to eight cents taxes instead
Of the original four cents.

CROSS GIVES NEW
VARIETY OF BIRD
Copyright. Western Newspaper Union

Announcement was made this week
by the Washington state department
of game that 22O melanistic mutant
pheasants were liberated in Benton
county September g. Liberation was
under the direction of Game Protector
N. E. Palmer.
Reared to an age of nine weeks at
the South Tacoma state game farm
the mutant pheasants were in excel
lent condition for their trip here, ac-
cording to j. r. Faudree, field super-
intedent of state game farms.
The mutant pheasant is of darker
plumage, and slightly larger in size
than the ringneck china pheasant. The
mutant has one CHARACTERISTIC very
much liked by hunters, namely, that it
will hold" under the dogs, not being
as likely as the ringneck china to
scamper through grass to brush cover
When flushed the mutant gains height
sooner than the china.
A flock of fifteen of these birds were
released on the Hartford ranch here
year ago and according to reports
have increased considerably during the
year. They have scattered over the
valley to some extent, one pair being
reported on the Austin Brothers
ranch at Allard.
As result of their introduction to
the country, new breed of pheasants
will soon develop, it is anticipated
Edmund Anderson has reported that
the birds remaining on the Hanford
ranch have inter-bred with the china
pheasants, the new birds having the
red lobes characteristic Of the chinas
but do not have the white ring around
| the neck.

SMITH, HANENKRAT
CARS ARE WRECKED

Two cars were wrecked in the early
hours of Sunday morning when they
collided on the dusty stretch of road
between the cannery and the R. D.
Barge home. Although none of the oc-
cupants was seriously injured, Mrs. H.
Smith received painful bruises, a cash
in the forehead and a Slight concus-
sion and Herb Cords was slightly cut.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith had left the
dance at the Grange hall at about 1870
and were driving home. There had been
so much traffic along the road thatsft
was almost impossible to see through
the dust and although Mr.. Smith could
family make out that a car was COM
ing from the opposite direction and
swung over to the edge of the road,
Bud Hanenkrat, driver of the other
car, failed to see Smith and crashed
into him.
Mrs Smith was thrown against the
windshield 1t was made of shatter-
proof glass and did not break, but her
head struck it so hard that it bowed
out. Although her injuries were pain
full and she suffered from shock, she
is now able to be about.

CONSIDERING POOL
FOR SWEET SPUDS

Believing that through orderly mar
keting methods their crops will bring
better returns than If each grower
sells independently, a group of sweet
potato growers met Sunday at the Lee
gion hall to discuss plans for forming
marketing pool.
A committee, composed of Roy Beene,
w. F. Shaw and r. S. Reierson was
elected to investigate the selling, grad
ing and packing of the potatoes. An
other meeting will be held Sunday at
the Legion hall, the exact hour to be
determined later.
There are about fifteen growers Of
the sweets in the valley this year, and
of this number about tWo-thirds have
already signed an agreement to pool
their crops, to be marketed as condi-
tons warrant The agreement is at the
White Bluffs Trading company and
the committee urges that other growers
sign the agreement there.

Offer Cash Prizes AT
Boat Races This Fall

Determined to make boat racing on
the river here an annual event, men,
bers of the White Bluffs Commercial
club voted Friday evening to stage a
regatta this month. While tentative
plans for the program have been drawn
up, the exact date is as yet undecided.
1t had been hoped to have the re-
gatta on the 18th, but due to the fact
that hop picking in the Yakima valley
will be In full sway at that time, 1t
is doubtful If sufficient boat owners
will be able to come. There are con-
hicting events set for other dates, and
the committee is now busy attempting
to find a date which will be suitable
in all respects.
Cash prizes will be offered for the
races, a small admission charge being
made for spectators. During the day,
hot dogs, hamburgers and soft drinks
will be served by the club, with Paul
Schicka in charge of the kitchen.
The committee appointed at the
clubs meeting Friday to take charge
of the program is: j. M. Shinn, chair
man; Jay Montgomery, Levi Austin,
Wright Wiehl Earl Freebury, George
Chase.

WARN OF RUSSIAN
KNAPWEED MENACE

Russian knapWeed serious peren-
NAL weed pest, is becoming established
In the state, according to word received
from the State College of Washington.
Plant specimens sent to the colleges
seed laboratory have been identified
as Russian knapweed. In the last few
weeks plants have been received at the
laboratory from Spokane, Okanogan
and Whitman counties.
The new intruder is more to be
feared by farmers than the wild morn
ing glory. 1t reduces crop yields and
when present in alfalfa hay, where 1t
is commonly found, greatly reduces
the feeding value.
Russian knapweed spreads by lateral
extension of the dark colored root sys-
tenn, grows from two to three feet tall
and has purple flowers.

Record Sale
Of Power At
Priest Rapids
River Levels Play Big Part
In Increased Pro
duction

record sale of surplus power at
the Priest Rapids power plant of the
local irrigation district was set last
month when total of $2,156.5O was
earned from the sale of 1882 288 kilo-
watt hours of electrical energy. The
total kiloWatt hours generated at the
plant amounted to 1,756,500.
The total generated power during
the month was but slightly more than
in July 1884, when 1,740,5O0 kiloWatt
hours were generated, but the needs
for pumping were less, surplus power
sold in July of last year bringing in
$2,O09.O1. The second largest monthly
power sale at the plant was made in
May, 1885, when sum of $2,O72.47 was
earned. During the latter month,
total of 100000 kilowatt hours were
generated.
Since the first of January, 1885, the
sale of power by the district has to-
tailed $8,762.76, which is more than
was earned during the years Of 1882 or
1888, and is but slightly over $1,000
less than was earned in 1884.
| The river levels have been more ia
vorable for generating electricity and
pumping this year than last in that
since the first of July. the water level
has ranged from one foot to five feet
higher than in 1884 thus making 1T
possible to pump the district require
ments of water during the hot sea-
son with smaller pumping load.
The river is now nearing the same
| level as last year at the same time
and the daily drop is similar, indi-
eating that if weather conditions are
normal this fall the river will have
reached a stage where power produc-
ton at the plant is Improbable by
about the first of November.
A comparison of the river stage at
Coyote Rapids, taken on the first and
fifteenth of each month from April
to September l for the years 1895
and 1884 is:

Want Coulee
Dam Control
- r
Kept In State
Local Groups to Investigate
Probable Benefits of
eva

Whether or not the creation of a
Columbia Valley Authority by the
federal government to assume control
of DEVELOPMENT on the Columbia river
would be in the best interest of the
residents of this area drew the at
tention Of the White Bluffs and Han
ford Commercial clubs last week.
A resolution sent out by the Ephrata
Chamber of Commerce, opposing the
creation of this organization and urg-
ing that the Grand Coulee project
be continued under the direction OF
the Reclamation Service, was consld-
cred by the groups and was tabled for
further investigation.
The committee appointed by the
White Bluffs Commercial club consists
of Edmund Anderson, w. j. Kinca1d
and G.. r. Chase. A. M Rollinger,
R. w. MacDonen and G. F. Wooten
comprise the Hanford Commercial
clubs committee.
In a letter accompanying the reso-
luton, the Ephrata groups says it
fears there is a serious menace to the
Grand Coulee dam and the Columbia
basin irrigation project if they are
turned over to body having develop
ment of the Columbia river and its
tributaries; that the dam and its
ject are entirely within the state OF
Washington and control of them should
not be handed over to an agency COM
posed Of members from other states,
in which this states membership
would be in the minority.
The resolution contains recommen-
| dations that the immediate construc-
ton of the high dam be authorized;
that the early and orderly develop
ment of the irrigable lands to be served
by the high dam be undertaken, and
that the cost of the Grand Coulee high
dam be undertaken, and that the cost
of the dam be charged to flood con-
| troll, navigation, irrigation and power
development by some competent exist
| ing leUcId1 dBtl1Cy.
Opinion locally on the creation OF
a Columbia Valley Authority which, 1t
is assumed, will be patterned after the
Tennessee Valley Authority, is divided,
it being held by some that to place
the development of the river in the
! hands of a government commission
. will hinder the possibility of private
capital developing power sites on the
river, and that nothing more should
be undertaken until the Grand Coulee
project is completed
Those favoring the creation of the
commission assert that only through
such an agency will the earliest and
most feasible development of power
sites be achieved; that under the pres
ent set-up, every effort will be made
by those connected with the Coulee
project to block development of lower
river projects, and that for the bene-
fit of the people all projects on the
river should be under unified control
rather than to have each project COM
peting against the other.
