gravity irrigation
That was the message Horace A.
Parker reclamation bureau engineer

kane Chamber Of Commerce
The power plant would be capable
of generating 100000 horse power.
Parker said the survey is not com
pleted and the proposal has not been
approved in Washington d. G.
"We feel sure we have found a
better setup that will be less costly to
build and one which will make it
possible to get water on the land much
earlier than the other plans, - the en-
gineer said. eve can eliminate much
costly tunnel and syphon construction
called for in the earlier surveys.
Proposed sites for the two huge
plants are: South of Coulee City, where
a natural drop of 1875 feet has been
found and no dam will be necessary;
water going into the east canal will
be utilized. Between Othello and Bev-
erly, along the Wahluke slope, where
there is another drop of 800 feet.
The two plants would operate season
ally. only when water is running
through the canal.
