Pumice, a spongy lava forma-
ton dating back to the prehis-
toric ages and found in extensive
quantities throughout the Cascade
mountain chain, is being hailed as
new development in the building
industry.
The pumice blocks, very light
and affording excellent insulation,
are being produced at Leaven-
worth by crew of several men,
a concrete mixer and a small n.y.
draulic and vibrating press.
Several homes and buildings
have already been constructed of
this stone.

King County commissioners are

Subsequently the company ap-
pealed to the NINTH Circuit Court
of Appeals at San Francisco and
this resulted in az to 1 decision
affirming the district court judg-
ment. Judge Alebrt L. Stephens
dissented, holding for q reversal.
The action to be taken by the
company before the Supreme Court
is technically called a Petition for
Writ of Certiorari.
The Whatcom condemnation set
number of "firsts" in Washing
ton court history. It was not only
the first to involve the question of
piecemeal condemnation against
large integrated system, but also
was the first P. u. d. case to in
volve the question of severance"
damages. In arriving at its ver-
dict, the jury in Federal district
court at Bellingham made allow
ance to the company for the dam
age done the rest of its system by
the tearing out Of one piece.
Similar piecemeal condemnation
actions have been taken against
the company by several other
county P. U. DIS in Western and
Central Washington.
Four new condemnations were
instituted by the districts during
the past year, including Snohom-
ish, Kitsap, Clallam, and Jeffer-
son Counties.
The most involved condemna-
ton pending against Puget Power
is the so-called Tri-County case
in which the piecemeal actions of
three county districts were consol-
idated by the court. They are
Thurston, Lewis, and Cowlitz
county districts. The existing
trial date for the tri-county case
is February 8, but the date al
ready has been postponed several
times because of the lack of a
Judge to hear it.
other condemnation actions
pending against Puget Power are
those taken by the P. u. DIS of
Chelan and Douglas counties.

P.S.P. L. Go. Fights Piece Meal
Condemnation OF Private Property

Puget Sound Power and Light
Company has announced it will ap-
peal to the United States Supreme
Court for a review of the S5,000,-
900 WATSON County Public Util-
ity District condemnation case, the
first such suit brought to trial
against the company and the first
in the state to involve piecemeal
condemnation of private utility
property.
A petition for a review will be
filed in Washington, D. c., on or
before January "a, the last day
such action may be taken, accord
ing to Frank Mclaughlin, presid-
ent of the company.
In announcing the decision of
the company to appeal, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin stated that questions of
vital Importance would be pre-
scented to the Supreme Court.
He declared that not only was
the fundamental question as to the
right of P. u. DIS to dismember
the company's system of piecemeal
condemnation proceedings at stake
but that the appeal was necessary
Gin the interest of all concerned
and our national welfare.
"Even in ordinary times" he
said, "the uneconomic and costly
piecemeal condemnation program
is decidedly not of public benefit,
and now, at war time, it is even
more clear to us that tc tear apart
this unified and interconnected
system servicing many vital gov
eminent posts and defense indus
tries distributed over a wide area
is not the right or sound thing
to do"
The Whatsom condemnation
case has been in progress for near
ly three years, first action having
been taken April Is, 1889. The
company is still in possession of
it's properties pending final out
come of the litigation.

Are We ldealists
BY Ruth Taylor

When the news Is dark and the
pessimists bewail the evil days
that are upon us; when the talk
is all of the perfect war machine
the totalitarian powers have built
up and the coordinating thought
that lies behind their brutal on
slaughts-it is well to remember
one thing most important
factor in our favor. The enemy
follows an idea we follow an
ideal.
A man without ideals is no bet
ter than a dumb beast. He may
try to substitute ambition for
idealism, but ambition is but Dress
to idealism's gold. A nation that
substitutes ambition for idealism
has no guiding hand at the throttle
to keep it on the track. Imminent
is the danger that it run through
signals to certain disaster.
This country was founded upon
an ideal-an ideal of freedom and
equality to opportunity for all men.
The idealism took varying forms
for the diverse peoples who came
here, but in each case it was an
ideal a seeking for something
better and finer-that sent each
group to this continent, and it was
idealism tina sustained them
through the hardships they en-
countered.
They had dreams-they followed
the Clean. Sometimes it was a
call to freedom of religion; some
times to freedom of thought;
sometimes to freedom of economic
opportunity-but always and ever
before them was an ideal. In the
solemn words of the Mayflower
Compact I'm the name of God,
Amen; in the Declaration of In
dependence; in the Constitution it.
self, and in Lincoln's words, with
malice toward none and with char
ity toward ALL" America has ex-
pressed her ideals.
When we as Americans cease to
dream of brighter future for all;
when we cease to answer the pitt
full plea for deliverance of OPP
pressed peoples; when we cease to
awaken to the challenging call of
work for others; when we cease
to listen to the inner voice of high
purpose; when we cease to dream
noble dreams and see idealistic Wis
ions, tim America as a United
States will cease to be. It will
have turned to the downward path.
Franklin wrote some hundred
and fifty years ago, 1T will be a
sad day for America, gentlemen,
when Americans come to feel that
nothing in the world is worth more
to them than their property or
their peace of mind. In short,
when we feel that no great prin-
ciple is worth fighting for, dying
for, if necessary"
The great upsurge of unity that
came upon the fateful seventh of
December proves that that day
has not yet come. America has
the challenged! e still follow the
ideal toward Victory.
