Steel Industry May
Come ToNorthwest

An analysis Of the Feasibility Of es
tablishing an iron reduction and stec
industry in the Pacific northwest ha:
been undertaken by the Bonneville
spawar-adsis nistratiou.4.ss.a=s e.5 ~
Paul H. Raver, administrator. said a
concise report would be ready for sub.
mission to Secretary of the interior
Harold L.. Lckes.
1t would consist, he said, of an
evaluation of the basic factors that de.
termine the possibility for such an in
dustry to locate in the area.
"Steel is one Of many industries
which might well manifest an interest
in the untouched mineral resources OF
the Columbia river basin,o DR.. Raver
said. "The abundance of low-cost
power from such plants as Bonneville
and Grand Coulee should make the
region doubly attractive.
ultimately the availability OF
steel capacity in the Columbia river
area would have marked effect upon
the growth of industry and the up
trend in the general prosperity of thu
region although the extent of this
growth is difficult to evoluate at the
present time"
The administrator said that the an
alysis would point out by means OF
maps the approximate location of var
ious raw materials, such as iron ore,
coal, limestone and refractories neces-
airy for successful steel operation.
Such other factors as the technology
peculiarly applicable to the raw mat
erials and markets available to Col
umbia basin plant would be discussed
in detail in the report which is being
prepared by the Market Development
Section, of the Bonneville power admin
istration, he said.

The first wagon road CONSTRUCTED in

Following this, sections Of the highway
from the Nisqually Flats to Vancouv

Next was rather crude wagon road

ly by settlers on both sides of the

OWNER ,TENANT URGED TO
SHARE SOIL AID COSTS

For the longtime protection Of the
Land, and for the mutual advantage Of
the landlord and tenant, Leonard Heg.
nauer, extension agronomist, State
College of Washigon, urges parties t.
farm leases to consider the inclusion Of
clauses assuring the continuance OF
soil fertility and weed control.
Many of Washington's farms are
operated under leases, and usually lit
tie provisiol% is niGds FOR flnafntainfny
the soil. Eventually this results in low.
or returns to the landowner, and de
probation of his investment brought
abou by shorttim leases.
Hegnauer believes that tenant ano
landlord ought to make an agreement
80 that the tenant gets credit for con
tinuing program of fertilization ano
soil building through application OF
fertilizers and rotation Of crops. They
should share in the benefits from a
fertilizer program and both should
help to pay for it.
Adequate fertilizing and soil build
is longtime affair. Short-tme leases
cannot make provisions for such pro-
grams.
Control of noxious root-stock weeds
is another longtime and relatively
expensive operation. A tenant leasing
from year to year cannot be expected
to put in the time and money neces-
airy. Tillage operations for weed con-
troll also takes several years and the
use of chemicals is expensive.
Hegnauer points out that in the
farming systems of many European
countries these factors are considered
Tenants frequently live on farms for
long periods, and plans have been
worked out SO that in cases where a
tenant leaves a farm he retains an
equity in unused portions Of fertiliz.
ers that he has applied.

VINES, LACKING
CONTROL, BOWS
TO DON BUDGE.
By LAWTON CARVER

NEW YORK, Jan. 4 Q.N.S0.
j. Donald Bulge, California's long
legged freckle-faced red-head, was
launched today on a professional
tennis career that threatens to
become both an artistic and a
financial success, SURPRISING the
widest dreams of the son of a
none-too-prosperous laundry man.
ArtiStically he was somewhat
better than all right at Madison
Square Garden last night as he
made his debut as touring
rouper. defeating Ellsworth
Slim" Vines by 6-3, Ga, and
60, and from financial stand
point he started, to put it in a
few words, toward a fortune. The
capacity crowd was counted at
1925 and the gross receipts to-
tailed $47,120. !
VINES THE STOOGE
Thus was another star inducted
into the ranks of the professionals
with Vines again playing stooge, q
role he embraced when he left the
amateurs to meet Bill Tilden in
1884 and still was playing as late
as two years ago when he was the
foil for Fred Perry in the latter's
debut.
Thus, too, was started a nine
week tour through approximately
60 cities for Bulge and Vines as
the former works his way toward
$75, 900, guaranteed him by Pro
moter Jack Harris, who also is a
little amazed by it all. He ex-
pected Bulge and Vines to go
over, but envisioned no such as
semblage as the complete Sellout
which greeted the spectacle on
green canvas under lights.
That canvas covering over a
composition floor hard as marble
and the trickery of the lights so
strange to him, were expected to
contribute to the downfall of
Bulge.
But instead it was he who
played good-not great, but good
tennis and beat the admitted mon
arch of the professionals. In fact,
Bulge didn't have to be great.
Vines was pretty terrible at times.
