Advertising rates sent on request

We have had many comments on

be noted this week. Mrs. Charles
Rousseau advertised five Buff Or

wants a dollar apiece for these pure

no reader of the Spokesman snap

chance to survive and propagate.
This valley is very well suited to
birds of this kind and they will u1l-
doubleday do well here. One Of
Captain G. D. Hi11kley's last official
acts, as state game commissioners

birds, as he was in this section dur

Priest Rapids and vicinity is quite
an interesting and animated scene
these days. Armo Krug took your
editor there, Sunday to acquaint
him a little with the far reaches of
the Priest Rapids; Valley. The
ranches along the way are begin

sage brush smoked beside her lab

with a refractory automobile. At
the head of the'rapids we picked up
several fine samples of ebert, from
which arroWheads are made. The
power plant was closed down, but
we saw signs of activity about it.
1t seems a shame that the road, for
the last couple of miles to that
spot, is only a trail, and a rather
indifferent one, at that, We should
Urge our commissioners to improve
that stretch, especially the commits

stretches of unilnproved land, lying

to see the time when every acre of

Power For Farms
Becoming Reality
(By Cong. Knute. HID

The program of Rural Electri-
fication getting cheap power to
the farmers of theANatiop,-is max
ing rapid strides in the Tennessee
Valley. Nothing that has ever been
done in my day and time has given
SO much hope, SO much comfort,
so much relief from drurgery, or
increased interest in or the value
of that territory as hac this pro
gram of Rural Electrification.
look eagerly to the day when this
program will extend to every farm
in the United States.
One farmer in the Tennessee
Valley gives us good example of
what Rural Identification means
to him He has lights. radio, re-
frigerator, an electric iron and an
electric range. He used 200 xii
oWatt-hours of electricity month
and it cost him $3.50, one dollar of
which was to amortize his line.
Through the Electric Farm and
Home Authority the government is
making il possible for these farm
ers to buy appliances at low costs,
Heretofore a man would say,"I can
not buy appliances because the
rates are too high for me to use
them" or There is, no use bring
ing the rates down, ! cannot pay
for the appliances at the prices
charged" Not only has the Govern
ment managed to bring the rates
down but provision has been made
through this Authority by which
tbs farmers may secure new labor
saving appliances on small down
payments and extend the balance
to be paid in installments over 3,
and years with interest at five
per cent.
Washing Ri gan On Monday
Most of us clearly remember the
day when clothes washing began at
dawn on Monday It was an all day
Job for two people, one furnishing
the power necessary TO turn the
machine, Then came the wide
| spread use of electricity which is
! still mainly confined to the city
| Now the IVA demonstrates that
our rivers can be harnegsed so that
washing for a family of five for q
year will cost about so cents.
1t must be clearly seen that our
dream for the future will not come
true If power trusts continue to be
supported in their efforts to block
appropriations for large power
dams. White coal, as electric powei
Is often calledy is an inherent right
of the people, Inherited from the
ownership amt control of water
ways Cheap power will not be gen
orally available as long as com
bination of trusts are i'm control o
