Brown was born of poverty stricken parents

Guessing Has
Own Ice Plant
Equipment Produces 1900 Pounds
OF Ice Every SO Hours and
Supplies City

One of the busiest pieces of ma.
chinery in town these torrid sum-
mers days is the ice plant owned
and operated by Closing G. Son,
located in the back of their meat
market The equipment has ca
pacity of 1900 pounds of ice ev-
cry So hours. which would seem
adequate to care for the needs of
this community. but the demand
has been SO great. Paul Glessing
stated, that on Monday he sold
all the ice he had on hand and
then sent out rush call to Grand
Coulee for more
The plant consists of a modern
freezing machine driven by a
large electric motor. In another
room there are storage tanks in
which water is poured and allowed
to remain for sc hours. which is
the approximate length of time
required for the ice to form. The
containers are large removable
tanks which hold 100 pounds of
Ice.
City water is used for the prod
uct and the tanks are kept hygen-
ically clean so that patrons have
no need to fear that the ice isn't
pure when using it to cool the re-
freshing drinks that are so popu-
lar at this time of year.
The efficiency of this equipment
is evinced by the fact that MI.
CLOSING is able to retail the ice
at price below that of many lar
ger cities.

ed, was announced recently by
Don G. Abel. state Works Progress

engineering experimental station,
with funds and workers supplied
by the Works Progress administra.
ton. H. G. Sampson. district SUI

project.
Vast Area to Be Irrigated
One of the main outlets for the
current generated will be in oper-
ating water pumps for irrigation in
the vast area of arid land in east
ern Washington that will be open
for development when the Coulee
and Bonneville dams are complet-
ed, Abel said. Another outlet will
be in pulp paper production, a
field In which the state of Wash

British Columbia. "The low cost
of the energy will also make 1t
possible Abel stated. "for dom
estic users to utilize it for heat
ings, thus making citizens of
Washington less dependent on 9TH

tractors. of whom there have been
many, and by the workmen at the
