Personalities
By Nell Dodson

Friends When They Come To
Town.
Jim Williams: This rendezvous
has three exits which makes it an
ideal night spot for folks who have
to leave suddenly on occasions.
Also here you are sure to catch
glimpses of somebody's husband
giving somebody else's wife the
high sign meaning: dump your
old man into the ashcan and meet
me later"
Martins: Has only one door,
and there are three steps between
the bar and beer parlor. Anybody
in hurry can take the steps all in
one, but there's a window that's
more convenient if it's the lady's
husband between you and the door.
If it's only the boy friend, take a
chance on the steps, my trans.
Moulden's: Sit in here and drink
beer and watch the Big Shots and
would-be Big Shots slam the door
as they go in and out. If you de-
eide to make a telephone call, it
had better be the kind of call in
which you can just say eyes" and
"no," on accounta' everybody in the
place will be listening in (although
they'll pretend they are sitting in
the booths minding their own
bizness).
Mickey House: The hamburgers
are masterpieces. One door, but
there's always the frigidaire to
crawl into if you can't make the
door in time.
Peggy's Chicken Tavern: On
payday nights only.
Carver's Inn: Two doors, front
and back, but the way the chairs
and tables are placed makes fast
foot work precarious. You'll prob
ably trip and fall on your kisser if
you're in too much of a hurry. &C
here late and stay until you think
it's time for the milkman to come
around your block.
Southside Cabaret: This one is
for the week the president of the
Ladies' Aid of Chidlinswitch is
visiting you. Wear that last for.
NAL and take the tux out of mott
balls. Be sure SOMEBODY in the
party has some dough.
Elks Rest: Where your husband
probably is when he amt home
nights.
Last Monday night when every
one was positively sweltering, Mrs
Boyd Atkins, lovely wife of thu
Cotton Club music man, looked a!
cool and comfy as if the old Their
mometer was tagging down at n
degrees. These women who man
age to look aforementioned in sucl
terrific weather must be genuises-
or else very lucky. It's probabl!
due to clever manipulation O.
makeup but whatever it is-it'
amazing.
Edmonia Perry is an extremel,
attractive child. Her eyes hav'
that same exotic slant as have tn
very lovely orbs of the movie &C
tress, Merle Oberon. But Edmoni,
is Edmonia, and a gosh-darne,
swell gal.

Red Cross Seal
Sale Is Starting
Public Urged to Support the Sale
of Red Cross Seals to Aid i'm
Fight Against tuberculosis

Over twenty eight million seals
will reach residents of the state on
Thanksgiving Day, the opening of
the Washington Tuberculosis Seal
Sale.
Through the sale of seals, the
fight against tuberculosis is carried
on throughout the United States.
The work, done principally in the
schools, is preventative and seeks to
check cases before a break down
results.
Though it is a fact that we have
tuberculosis more nearly under con-
;trol than at any time in our his
tory, study Of the deaths in 1885
shows that Washington had 1893
persons dying from tuberculosis.
Benton County has been unfortln.
ate during this year, as it has had
eleven deaths due to this disease.
Due ito these facts, the AntiTu.
berculosis League is asking for a
bigger and better sale to assist in
it's extensive program Buy as
many seals as you possibly can to
further this important work.

Mrs. Frank Clark. Fred Gihuly

Cross memberships and seal sales.

CHRISTMAS SEALS

May we voice the hope that ev-
cry reader of the Spokesman en-
joyed a wonderful Thanksgiving
dinner in wonderful company.
There is something irTeSistably
appealing in the histrionic ecorts
Of the very young folks, and last
nights operetta by the youngsters
of the White Bluffs schools drew
an appreciative audience as the
children struggled Through "Tom
Sawyer" and "McGregor's Garden"
Think of the patience and amount
of effort expended by the teachers
in thus successfully training their
charges!

Euents OF the Week

For the first time since OUR ar
rival, there are no outstanding e.
vents carded for the week. Keep
in mind the fact that there will be
Presbyterian church services in the
evening at White Bluffs, Sunday,
and that a series of card parties,
sponsored by the White Bluffs Wo-
mans Club, will begin on the fifth
of December and last, one each
week, until the 18th.

Public Utility Commissioners
Discusses Power Situation
Condemnation Proposition Withdrawn
From Ballot Due to Incomplete Re-
ports and Illness Of Engineer

being taken, before the Supreme
Court, by the Washington State
Grange, to establish what amounts
ITO a legal wholesale rate for power
in this state.
The preliminary report Of our
engineer shows that, in 1884, the
p. p & l.. wheeled some forty
five million XVIII over its lines to
the industrial area of Portland
where it was sold for approximate
ly two mills per XVIII.
The Washington Power Company
has ample surplus power available
and, if there were a reasonable
rate established for this power and
for the rental Of the p. P. & L.
transmission lines over which it
would be wheeled to Benton .Coun-
|ty, plan 2 might become practic-
able.

sires to thank those who have made

local news both pleasurable and
easy. Only an editor can fully ap-
preciate such help and we have new

White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1936-11-26

Transmission expenses, IN plans
2 and 4, presume a reasonable rate
for wheeling over P. P. & L.
trunk lines.
TO these expenses must be added
the cost of power, when purchased,
and also the interest on invest
ment. Amortization payments must
be met, at least covering deprecia-
ton. The Utility would pay a tax
of 3% to the State Of washington
and go Con gross incone) to Ben
ton County
Hence, the final figures Of pro-
bable net revenues cannot be given
until the price to be paid for the
distribution lines is set. The OBJ
ject Of condemnation proceedings
was to definitely determine this
price, after which the voters OF
Benton County would be in a po-
sition to decide whether or not
they wished to proceed with the
purchase.
Question Can the Utility con-
denim and take over irrigation dis
trict or municipal property?
Answer-No.

PLAN NO. 8

This plan contemplates taking
over the surplus power not now al
located to the irrigation districts
by the Reclamation service and the
development Of their plant at Pros
ser to its capacity. A possible fur
ther development might be niade
by utilizing the right-of-way, al
ready acquired BY the anaatlnn
Service, and continuing the present
canal about seven miles further a.
Long the Yakima River, thus in
|creasi11g the potential output Until
it would be much more than ample
to supply the needs Of Benton
County for some time. Develop
ment of the present plant at Pros
ser to its capacity would not be ex-
pensive but, at the height Of the
irrigation season, it would be ne
cessary to purchase additional
power to supply the Benton Coun-
| ty demand of about 1000 XIV de-
ivered. The price to be paid for
this supplementary power would
largely determine the practicablity
Of Plan No. 8.
In 1884 the p. P. & L. Co., under
a contract with the u. S. Govern
/ ment, purchased 15,7O0,711 XVIII
from this Prosser plant. The price
paid was seasonal, from IL mills
to mills per XVIII, which price
returns a handsome profit to the
Reclamation Bureau, and, with
other revenues, is meeting interest
land retiring the bonds covering the
construction Of this plant.
PLAN NO. 4
This plan proposes that power be
purchased from the Priest Rapids
Irrigation District upon q firm"
contract basis. The Benton Colln-
! ty Public Utility District would adj
vance funds to deepen the canal
and install an additional low head
generator. This expenditure is es-
timated, in preliminary reports, at
!! from 100000 to a possible $3.50 900.
! In return for this advance to the
Priest Rapids Irrigation District
| for the development Of their plant,
the Priest Rapids Irrigation Dis
| trict would supply a, block Of power
to the Benton County Utility Dis
trict over period of years.
Another suggested arrangement
] was that the utility lease the pow
er plant from the Irrigation Dis
trict. turning it back after an equ1t-
able period of years, with all i'm
provements meanwhile supplying
the Irrigation District with free
energy to the capacity OF the plant
at Coyote Rapids.

BENTON COUNTY PUBLIC q
Utility DISTRICT

Commissioner Brockway Finishes
His Comments ON the Present
Power Situation Here
Last year, the Commissioners of
the Benton County Public Utility
District arranged with a firm Of
engineers to appraise such distri-
button lines and facilities as would
be necessary for the operation OF
county owned power and Light sys-
tenn, and to investigate and report
on available sources of electrical
energy for the operation Of such a
system in Benton County
This work was under way when,
in midsummer, 1886, the directing
engineer, Mr.. Kenneth G. Harlan,
was taken I'LL and underwent a ma
jor operation at the Mayo hospital.
Although he did not recover rapid
". he was confident that he would
have a detailed report ready for
the election of December 9th.
Hence, the Commissioners decided
to place the advisory proposition
upon the ballot, giving the voters
Of Benton County an opportunity
t to decide whether or not they de-
sired to proceed with the condemn
alton action to determine the price
at which the p. P. & L.. distrlbu-
! stion system could be- purchased.
This advisory proposition was dis
cussed and quoted in OUR article In
the Spokesman last week.
Mr.. Harlan has not recovered
sufficiently to complete this work;
in act, he is in a very serious con-
dition at the present time. In
view of this fact and the resultant
mpossibility of fully informing the
voters by distribution Of the de
tailed engineers reports, it has
been decided not to place the adj
visory proposition ON the ballot url-
til later, when the engineer has
completed his studies.
Four alternate plans have been
investigated in connection with
source Of power supply. They are:
(1) - Purchase Of power, whole
sale, from the F.. p. & l.. Company
60 - Purchase of power from
the Washington Water Power Co
and wheeling In over the p. p. & L
= lines
60 - Securing power from tEe
Reclamation Bureau operated plant
lat Prosser.
/ az - Securing power from ar
expanded plant at Priest Rapids.
PLANS 1 & 2
A preliminary report by our en-.
gineer indicates that plans l and
are impracticable under presen
conditions. There is no established
rate for wholesale power in Wash
ington. The p. P. & l.. was sound
ed out on this point and one o
their officials stated that they wer'
now realizing over 1c per XVII
net, Notwithstanding losses in col
lections. When called upon to con
: tract for wholesale power to ener
gize the line that the Rural Elec
trifcation Administration is f1nanc
ing in Benton County, they sub
, mitted a sliding schedule that vii
, probably work out to a rate Of a
| bout 11ac per XVIII for energy ov
er line loss. This is higher thai
the rates paid by efficient individ
ual pumping plants in Hanfor'
and White Bluffs. Action is nov

The development of the Priest
Rapids plant, as a source of supply
for Benton County, has the disad-
vantage of being located far from
the center of the County Energy
would have to be carried over the
p. p. & l.. high voltage lines, if the
same were not purchased, or new
trunk lines built. Of course, $1,000
volt lines would not be required.
It is quite probable that our en-
gineer's final report will indicate
that it is best. zse6' the present, to
draw from both the Prosser and
Priest Rapids plants, rather than
to proceed with the full capacity
development of either one. Relative
food stages in the Yakima and
Columbia are such that the Priest
Rapids plant would be at high pro-
duction at the time that the de-
na1ld ON the Prosser plant was the
greatest. Details Of cost Of such
partial developments, transmission
system, etc., to carry out this dual
system, have not yet been worked
