Indications are that 1899 will be {

been the past year. Work is scheduled
to get under full swing at the explora

Commission in adopting this regula-
ton.
All Of the lakes excepted from the
gang troll regulation are heavily fish
ed. and nearly all of them are well
stocked with silver trout The AZ lakes
are:
Crescent and Sutherland in Clallam

CONTRACT WOULD
TIGHTEN UNEMPLOYMENT

A proposed CHI contract for remov.
al Of an island and peninsula below the
spillway Of Grand Coulee dam is ex
pected to tighten unemployment at the
dam site this winter.
Negotiations between Obi genera.
contractors and the bureau, which
have been under way for several
months, have been completed, the bur
eau reported.
Plans and specifications agreed to
by both parties are on the way to
Denver for review by the main engin
ee.ing office and will be sent to Wash.
ington, d. c., for the formal approval.
Work is scheduled to start after the
first of the year.
The removal work will require the
services OF draglines, clamsnells, and
other equipment. The exact number of
men to be employed could not be learn.
ed, but the number will probably not
exceed so, engineers said. The island
is about an acre in size and working
space will be at premium.
F. A. Banks, construction engineer
for the bureau, recently explained that
the distractions would be removed to
prevent the possible creation Of eddies
or other damaging currents against
the concrete.

INDUSTRIAL POWER
PROGRAM PROPOSED

Administrator J. D. Ross today pro.
posed an industrial chamber Of com.
merce for the power districts aud city.
owned electrical systems of the north.
west.
In letter to he 104 district COM
missioners and so municipal electris
managers Of Washington, Oregon and
Idaho, the Bonneville chief outlined a
broad program for utilizing Columbia
river power for industrial development
in the three states. Each district and
city was asked to consider unified
plan for stimulating local menufactur-
ing with the low-cost energy soon to
be marketed over the Bonneville trans
mission system.
Payroll Industries Needed
Poihting out that northwest citi-
zens manufacture only very small
portion of the finished commodities
they consume, Mr.. Ross stressed the
need for decentralized industries to
build payrolls and sound economic
growth in local communities. There il
no reason why Oregon and Idaho and
Washington residents should pay
freight both ways for goods they can
process themselves, he said.
We cannot expect to take steel
to Pittsburgh, but we logically can ex.
pect branch factories for every in,
dustry that supplies the northwest
the Bonneville chief wrote. "Tliis
would not be taking away any indus
try rightfully belonging to any other
area of the nation" He stressed the
fact that both producers and consum-
ers would benefit from local manufac,
ture of wood products, metals, and az.
ricultural commodities.

 win Visit Paris
 Hore -Belisha is to continue on to Paris to confer with Premier Edouard Daladier and Foreign Min- ister Georges Bonnet. This confer ence is expected to be preliminary to a visit to London by Daladier and Bonnet, to discuss all angles of Brit ish-French relations.
 The sequel may be French-Ital- ian friendship agreement that would supplement the British-Italian treaty and leave the democracies in much stronger diplomatic posi- ton.
 So pleased were Britons at the Italian treaty that they were al- ready talking of the possibility fo British German negotiations within the next four months.
 Count Galeazzo Ciano, Italian foreign minister, and Lord Perth, British ambassador, conferred at Rome last night, clearing up the last minor points in the new treaty Agreeing tentatively to initial the treaty Saturday, they were under stood to have decided that If 1t proved impracticable to initial the pact then they would initial 1t April 20 or 2l, after the long Eu- ropean Easter holidays.
 Sign Late in May
 Formal signature of the treaty will be deferred until the expected visit here probably late in May after the visit of Adolf Hitler to Mussolini early in May and the League of Nations Council meeting May 9-of Count Ciano. Plans al- ready have been discussed for a formal treaty signing ceremony, at the British foreign office.
 Before the treaty can be signed formally, and thus enter into full effect, Britain must arrange at the League Council meeting for recog- milton by the great powers of Italy's conquest of Ethiopia, and and Mussolini must withdraw his volunteers" from Spain. But belief is firm here that Mussolini really wants friendship with Britain and that this treaty will not suffer the fate of the British-Italian gentle mems agreement" of January 1887.
