FRIENDLY SUITS TO SPEED
BONNEVILLE POWER LINES

TO put thousands of men to work
end speed Bonneville electricity to
Northwest districts, Administrator j.
ID. Ross has launched a widespread
program for immediate acquisition of
six hundred miles of land in Oregon
and Washington.
The chief of the Bonneville Pro
Ject last week put into operation his
plan for Fastening purchase of thou
sands of acres of rural right of-way
for the transmission lines that will
radiate from the dam site. To permit
prompt construction Of the high volt
age circuits, John G. Fischer, general
counsel of the Project, has requested
the United States Attorneys office
to begin at once blanket condemnation
suits in the Federal Courts at Tacoma,
Portland, and Spokane. This proceed
ure will enable landowners to receive
payment at the earliest date
Land Payments Deposited
The Bonneville Administrator de-
posits in the registry Of the court sum
of money fixed as the fair value of
the properties to be acquired. At the
same time declaration of taking will
be filed which will permit project en-
gineers to enter upon the land to COM
"a p1 aar nd bo
erection of transmission line towers.
After several months of prelimin-
ary negotiations, Administrator Ross
has approved program of copdemna-
ton proceedings to facilitate transfer
of easements and land for the four
teen million-dollar construction project
Difficulties in finding property owners,
complex title problems, and protracted
delays led to institution of the fed
eral court actions.
Employment Opportunity Stressed
The Public Works allotment to the
Bonneville Project requires complet
ion OF the power network by 1910,
MIR. Ross pointed out in announcing
che new procedure. "Nearly eleven
million dollars have been allocated by
Administrator Ickes to give construc
tive jobs to men who need them,'' he
said. Gin every community there arc
hundreds Of men who have been look
ing for work for long time. Free
ton of these power lines will be the
first employment opportunity many
reason L am asking the cooperative
assistance of the property owners in
both States.''
First suit to be filed will cover 80
tracts of land in Skamania County
situated between North Bonneville
and the Clark County line. $3O,264.00
will be deposited in the Federal
Court at Tacoma as the value of the
473 acres of land and improvements
along this section of the right-of way.
The 80 tracts were merged into one
suit to reduce costs and to facilitate
prompt payment to landowners for
their property. A three hundred foot
swath from the damsite to Vancouver
rapidly will be acquired for the back
bone transmission lines that will bring
power to Portland, the Willamette
Valley and Southwestern Washington.
Already clearing and Telling crews
are at work in Clark and Skamania
Counties on million-dollar WPA
project preparing the way for the
220, 00-volt circuit.

Formative Years
Are Important

If parents would only realize
the Importance of those lorna
tive years! The little boy isn't
Just a little boy at all. He's
father to the man. That is the
time when the guiding of play,
the direction of energies into
useful pastimes, may mean the
difference between the juvenile
court and a successful career;
between misery and happiness.
All work with young people, I
think, should be preventive
rather than corrective. That has
been our way of handling the
Quints, for we have found that
If they were kept busy doing
something constructive or worth
while, there just weren't any
delinquent problems for us to
handle.
Children must be taught to
respect other peoples property,
other peoples feelings. So if
Yvonne wants the ball that Marie
is playing With, she doesn't go
over and take it; she either
asks for it politely or waits un-
til Marie has turned to some
thing else. Now these little
girls didn't do this from in
Stinct; they have been taught
that it is the proper thing to
do. And it is seldom they think
of doing ANYTHING else.

} Thedter Styles
Enchanted
By Bah LINCOLN

THOSE who went to the
Il National T heater last
night expecting to see their
beloved Ina Claire in an ar
ray of the latest and newest
fashions were treated instead
to a series of beautiful CO.'S
tunes in the Revolutionary
period of the play.
In the first act, Miss.Claire
wore a riding habit of royal
blue velvet with wide lace
sleeve frills, and a diminu-
tive tricorne not unlike the
hats we are all wearing on
top Of our up hair-dos.
If you wanted to stretch your
imagination a bit you could say
there were other similaritieS be.
tween that historic time and
present-day styles. But if you
gave yourself UP to enjoying
the stiff brocades and silks for
their own beauty alone, you
made a better evening of it.

We Needed
Hunting Pack

AS for fashions contributed BY
the women in the audience, my
companion remarked ironically,
Il should have brought a dog"
there are so many silver foxes in
the assemblage. Poor wit we
admit, but at least apt, for the
silver fox capes, coats, neck
pieces came in by the dozen.
At one point, watching the Gus.
toners assemble, we counted 20
silver fox capes in a straight
row down the aisle, and it wasn't
a delegation, either.
There were some lovely ernnine
coats out last night, and one or
two elegant capes of white fox.
One In particular, made of whole
skins, hanging almost to the
knees, was especially handsome.

Such Cost
Not to Her Credit

You can't help but feel that
poor mother must have been a
good deal of a moron to pre-
serve the peace of her household
at such a cost.
Again, in the good old days,
it was mother who wore the
pants. And the extract reads:
Mother always had things her
own way. She was a splendid
manager. and father always
gave in to her, having such
respect for her Judgment. !"
There you have a picture of
poor, cowed father, tiptoeing
around the house in his bed
room slippers so that the slight
est noise might not cause an
uprising on mothers part.
If a nation can't exist half
slave and half free, neither can
a marriage. Marital slaves have
their little daSheS for liberty,
their escapes, their grapevine
news agencies, their secret rum
ways, even as slaves have al
ways managed these things.
A slave will always pit his
wits against a tyrant of either
sex, though the tyrant hugs the
delusion of blind obedience.
The Washington times., 1938-11-01


could be farther from the truth.
I have never known children
whose tastes are simpler, chill
dren who suffer less from bore
dom. And yet their world is
five-acre lot from which they
haven't been taken for four
years.
Our nurses and teachers have
done for the Quints just what
good fathers and mothers can
do everywhere. They have taken
time to build character in each
child, something the child is
going to be able to fall back on
in later life.
The Washington times., 1938-11-01
Star Wore
RuffLeS and Ribbons

AS the enchanting Mrs. Bleek.
er, Miss Claire appeared in PAN
nierS and tremendously full
skirts and one negligee which
was a. captivating creation in
pink and white material which
looked like challis, with grace
full ruffles and a turquoise blue
ribbon and bow. We were re-
minced that the bellies and ma
irons of that day often de-
pended on the killing effects of
a fluttering bow for color ac-
cent and, as it turns out, not a
bad idea.

Sponge Cake

Sponge Cake
Cream one cup of butter and
add one pound of sugar, the
beaten yolkS of 10 eggs, and stir
all together for about three-quar-
ters of an hour. Add the grated
rind of one lemon and a quarter
of a pound of sweet and bitter
almonds grated in their skin,
and a pinch of mace. Add not
quite pound (about IA ounceS)
of flour, Sifted, and quarter of
a pound of cornStarch. Add to
the mixture one tablespoon of
rum, a teaspoon of vanilla, two
grains of cardamon. and the 10
whites of eggs, Stiffly beaten.
Mix we'll.
Butter a shallow tin or torten-
form and pour sufficient of the
mixture in to thinly cover the
bottom. Place in the oven for a
few minutes till slightly brown,
then pour in enough to make
another layer and bake as be-
fore, placing the tin now on a
pan of water; Immediately the
water begins to boil, renew with
fresh cold water. This is to pre-
vent the cake becoming over
done at the bottom. A few sheets
of tin may also be used under
the cake instead of the water.
AS each layer is baked add
another until you have used
three-quarters of the mixture.
Take them out of the tin. Now
bake the rest of the mixture in
two layers.
Spread on the thicker portion
layer of good preserves, cover
with layer of marzipan, and
place the thinner layer of cake
on this. Glace the top with
lemon icing and decorate with
marzipan fruit or preserved
fruit.
For a layer of marzipan use
one-half pound of almond paste
and one-half pound of cut sugar,
and one-half gill of rose water.

Freedom To Be

} The happiest marriages are
those in which a husband or

where there is no editing or

greeted with laughter rather

DENNY asks for blankets by
u brand names because she is
aware that some manufacturers
have maintained uniform stand
ards of quality for many years.
She will read the label to make
sure she is getting an all-Wool
blanket, yet she knows that SO
per cent wool is considered all
wool. She is not close-minded
as to brands and she asks to see
others of comparable quality
with which she is not ac-
quainted. She holds the blan-
ket up to the light to see if the
background is firm and if it is
cut on the straight. She pulls
the nap to test its security. She
examines the binding. She
knows that good wool blankets
are not cheap, but she expects
to give hers personal care and
she regards the initial expense
an insurance Of long life of the

1906 for 81 games in the Colum-

string for his last effort to top
the charge in which billiard also
starred. However, the transfer
