At that the dark eyes of Madame

they blazed upon Count d'Ambro.

Hated it," She raised her hands in
Gallo gesture. Three months mar

it! But here. with my family, I have
found some little forgetfulness. Count

Il am sure" Trevvy murmured,

Madame du Bartas continued: Il

Valley Given
First Touch
OF Winter
Snow Flurries Whiten
Countryside; Tempera-
lures Are Normal.

Snow blanketed the Priest Rap
ids valley this week, bringing to
an end the mild weather which
had prevailed here for the past
few months, and giving rise to pre-
dictions that there will be a late
spring this year.
The snow hurries began Friday
afternoon when mixed rain and
snow fell internationally, but no
snow remained on the ground I'M
til Monday morning when a fresh
fall of quarter of an inch of dry
snow whitened the countryside.
More snow fell on that day and
on Tuesday and Wednesday,, but
thawing temperatures during the
midday prevented it's totaling more
than an inch.
The snow was general throughout
the northwest, with from three to
nine inches blanketing most of
eastern Washington, while sub
zero temperatures held the midwest
and east in the grasp of severe
cold wave.
Temperatures were but Slightly
lower here than the average for
the past month, but were low
enough along the upper Columbia
river watershed to drop the level
of the river somewhat.
| Readings at Rock Island dam set
the flow of the river on Monday
at 47OOO second feet, which is still
several thousand feet above the
previous low reading of the season
of 44,500 feet, and more than
double last years low of $1,000 seet.
Two weeks ago the rivers fcsW was
10000 feet.

WPA Crew Is
Employed On
Ditch Project
Excavation Of Power
Canal Is Under Way
At Priest Rapids

Work on the WPA project for
improvements to the distribution
system of the Priest Rapids Irriga-
ton District began last Friday,
with the White Bluffs WPA crew
OF 20 men being transferred to that
project from the county's road
work.
Initial work to be done under
the project is the laying Of $50
feet of 36-inch pipe on the line
which feeds H lateral east of Ham
ford. The crew is now employed
in digging up the old pipe, mad
laying of the new pipe will be
started some time next week, the
material having been shipped from
the coast this week.
This pipe line, which is about
1900 feet long, was originally con-
structed of 22-inch pipe. In 1881
approximately $500 feet was re.
placed with 36-inch pipe. With the
installation of 36-inch pipe on the
remainder of the line, nearly double
the amount of water will be avail
able for the lateral.
Work at Priest Rapids, where the
power canal is being deepened is
proceeding smoothly this week, with
drilling of the rock getting under
way Thursday.
The cutoff dam at the head of
the canal was completed on Sat-
t1rday, and the canal drained dur
ing the next few days.

setting the dope as they outplayed
the favored Riverview quintet, but
late in the first quarter they made
several bad passes which were ia
ken by Riverview and converted in
to goals and from then on the
Eagles were hopelessly outclassed.
The first quarter ended with the
score standing TO in RivervieW's
favor.
During the second quarter the
Eagles Melted only two points-on
two free throws-and in the third
and fourth periods they made only
three points in each.
