Your house will be safer. Fire-resistant insulation

TIME above illustration with all the little

The truth is that in 1888 you can buy from

TEMPORARY BONNEVILLE
POWER RATE APPROVED

Approval by the Federal Power
Commission of temporary wholesale
schedules for Bonneville power was re-
ceived this afternoon at tho office Of
Administrator ]. D. Ross.
Although the initial transmission
network in Oregon and Washington
will not be completed for approximate
ly a year, the Commission passed fav.
orably on the Administrator propos-
al for marketing energy during tho
construction period. The schedule will
not only permit testing of the Bonnie
vile generating plant when intercon
nected with other electric systems, but
will provide all immediate ;ource of
revenue for the project.
Purchasers of power will pay on the
same basis as the kilowatt.year
charges of $3.50 for primary energy
and $11.50 for secondary energy.
They will be billed at tho rate Of
1-365ths of those sums for the num-
Der of kilowatts of power taken each
day.
The special schedule designated as
Ell = will be in effect only until the
hlckbone" transmission line from
the dam to the Vancouver substation
is completed. The temporary rates will
expire in any event on December 81,
1889. During the construction period,
power will be measured ut the Bonnie.
vile power plant busbar at generat-
ing voltage of approximately 1880
volts Allowance will be made to pur-
chasers for transmission line losses,
so they will be billed only for the en-.
ergy actually received.
Contracts under the temporary
schedule will not extend beyond the
date Of completion Of the Bonneville
Vancouver line. and may bo Cancelled
by either party on two weeks notice.
Provision will be made for supplying
larger quantities of energy to distribu.
ton systems during emergency periods
such as the accidental interruption OF
their normal power supply from exist
ing diesel, steam or hydro electric
plants.

Bucket Drops $50 Feet

The bucket hoist platform and an
empty bucket, used to lower concrete
from the high trestle to the west pow.
erhouse, dropped $50 feet from the
TOP of the trestle to the powerhousd
deck when cable snapped Friday aft
ernoon. No one was injured.
The crash snapped four large ties
of the transformer deck. Accord
ing to the Obi safety engineer Of
flee, safety clamps designed to close
on rails when cable snaps failed to
hold the device because of ice. The
clamps slowed the heavy hoist plat.
form sufficiently to prevent sheer
drop.
The hoist, $50 feet long, pulls one

RESOLUTIONS URGE THE
BUILDING OF NEW ROAD

Following the directions of the
Chamber Of Commerce, a special COM
mittee this week prepared the follow
ing resolutions which will be sent to
the state park board, state legislators
from this district and nearby COM
mereial clubs for endorsement and &C.
ton:
"TO THE STATE PARK BOARD:
Inasmuch as the Dry Falls state
park is one of the outstanding parks
not only of our State but of the whole
United States, due to its unique char
acter.
And inasmuch as major portion
tf this scenic wonder is not at this
time accessible to tourists and visit
ors, and because Of this lack Of de-
velopment many Of its attractions are
missed entirely by the visiting public.
BE 1T THEREFORE RESOLVED
that the State Park Board be urged
to take such steps as are necessary
and adequate for the contraction Of
a highway from the vicinity of the
vista house, around the rim Of Dry
Falls, to the center point which div
ides the two alcoves, opening up, at
very nominal expense, a view Of
the entire Coulee for several miles
below the Falls, showing the lakes,
the westward dip Of the east wall, and
the big coulee monocline on the west
wall, and making great added at
traction to all visitors to our State of
Washington.
