This, in other words, means approx
imately 28O cases of 48 cans per
case will come off the line every
hour.
Three large $50 hip. boilers, cap
able of generating $4,000 pounds Of
steam per hour are now ready for
operation. The company expects
that two boilers in operation at one
time will be sufficient inasmuch as
in their other plants the steam de-
mand is between 10000 and 10000
pounds steam per hour. The boilers
are fired with pulverized coal. The
stokers utilize all the heat value in
the coal, burning the fuel with no
waste and with little or no smoke.
Refrigeration equipment is Of the
best. The plant has capacity of 70
tons refrigeration, which is expected
to be ample for rapid cooling of the
milk during the hot summer months.
One compressor is manually control
leds while the second machine auto
matically cuts in on the line as the
demand requires.

received during the first few weeks
of operation is difficult to estimate,

whole milk production is forecast by
many of the leading dairymen of the
valley. In other areas where the

Couldn't Believe 1t

Residents of Kennewick were
startled Wednesday afternoon
when a person appeared on the
streets of Rennewick offering to
Sell $500 hiIls for $40. The most
startling thing about it was the
bills were genuine even though most
folks were dubious of them. Upon
closer examination it was found
that Howard McGhee was using this
means to advertise his New Years
Day movie program at the Roxy
Theatre OF you'll Never Get Rich"
We heartily agree with him that
you will never get rich by selling
$500 bills Tor s49o. We advise the
local residents to bring their pocket
books with them when coming to
town SATURDAY as we heard Howard
say The sale would again be on Sat
urday.

PIP. 81. Prepared
tOPOOl Power
for Emergency
All plans completed
for extra demands in
this territory

Prediction by the office for
Emergency Management that the
Pacific Northwest may experience a
power shortage in 1912 as the result
of "all-out" war demands for in
dustrial production was viewed SER
iously here iby Roy Skill, district
manager for Pacific Power & Light
company.
Pooling of all available power
sources. public and private, as was
done in the iva region last fall to
alleviate a serious shortage there
can, however, do much toward min
imizing possible future curtailments
of civilian power use in the north
west, in SkilI.s opinion.
I'VE are ready to cooperate fully
I'm such program and are prepared
to make all necessary interconnec-
lions on short notice" Skill said.
Expansion of aluminium and mag
nessium plants on scale far beyond
anything imagined few short
months ago was cited by the DEM
as the reason for the prospective
power shortage.
The defense agency pointed out
that while a new aluminium plant
can be built in six months it takes
two years Or more to build a power
dam. "A further complcating factor
Is that manufacturers of electric
power plant equipment also have the
job of building marine turbines for
Americas two-ocean navy and for
the rapidly expanding merchant ma
Tine.
I'm this situation, it is easy to I'M
derstand the emphasis placed by the
DEM on the possibilities of gain
ing extra kilowatts by power pool
ing" said Skill. "A1ong with the en-
gineers in charge of other utility
company operations, our engineers
early this year made a thorough
study of the Pacific Northwest pow
Ier situation. which was reported to
the Federal Power Commission last
June.
'This survey showed that 100000
1kilcWatts of effective capacity can
be gained in the Pacific Northwest
fly the simple method of voluntary
coordination of all the public and
private power plants in the region.
Awake to the significance of this
power supply. the company immed-
lately went ahead with the prepara-
ton of plans for irlterconnections
with the Bopneyille-C oulee trans
mission system at key points, and Is
now ready 40 move promptly when
ever the word is given"
All the major power companies in
Oregon, washington, idaho, Mon
tana and Utah are already operating
on an interconnected basis, Skill re-
ported, and establishment If the
necessary additional connections
with the Bonneville system to effect
a complete pooling of power in the
region would involve little in the
way of time OF expense.

The fine, new modern evaporated
milk plant is being rushed to COM
pletion to make ready to receive milk
from the milk producers Of the en-
tire valley. Contact with dairymen
has been in progress for many weeks
by staff Of competent field men.
In charge of field work is Field Su-
pervisor Carroll Bagley, aided by
Heston Weyrich and Dudley Beall,
all of whom have had many years of
experience with problems of the
diarymen.
During the many weeks Of field
survey work much information has
been gathered regarding milk pro-
duction, general farm conditions,
quality of milk, available feed and
potential possibilities for vastly in
creased milk production in the val
ley. All this has merely confirmed
the company's officials former be-
lief that dairymen of Yakima VAL
ley have the foresight to recognize
that now is an opportune time to
enlarge their herds, retain their
best producing cows, and take full
advantage of the greater outlet and
demand for their whole milk.
Figures show that $4,000 tons of
hay is being shipped out of the
Valley each year. This hay could
support 1880 additional COWS in the
valley, meaning tremendous in
crease in milk production and con-
sequent added income to the dairy
men. On present market prices this
could mean an additional million
dollars annual income from whole
milk.
Bagley explained that milk routes
have been mapped out and these will
extend throughout the valley. Milk
hauling trucks have been assigned
to these various routes. The milk
haulers are prepared to give pre-
ferred service in assuring rapid de-
livery of milk from farm to plant,
thereby assisting in keeping bacter-
ial charge to a minimum.
The canning line is largely auto
matte in operation. The can filters
require the attention of an operator,
but the sterilizers are the continuous
operating type, fully automatic,
wherein the temperature is electric
ally controlled through master
mechanical controller. This insures
uniform process for every can.
The labelling machine is the very lat
est type, and the only one in the
! Northwest with automatic label
feeding, enabling the operator to
feed labels without stopping the
machine. The case packer is semi
automatic, requiring the operator
to place an empty case over the mag
azine, the machine then automatic

and the latter taking the case to the
