The Sophie attracted nation wide attention in 1888 during the "one~mar war" in the far north. Captain Shields radioed for rifles and ammunition to protect Amer ica fishing interests in Alaskan waters from Japanese poachers.
 The Jap fishermen intercepted the captains message, upped an chor and fled back to Japan. The captain then messaged:'
 "Hurrah! Hurrah! All Japanese boats out of Boring Sea. Rifles no longer needed"

Historical Backgrounds
By Margaret Thompson

Ia system of canals, pipelines and
siphons to irrigate 1,753, 900 acres
at an estimated cost of $171.4O
an acre. The main canal would
cross the Spokane river above
Spokane where spillway would
dump water not needed for irri-
cation into the Spokane river,
thus benefitting the generation
of power in the Washington Water
Power company's plant few
miles below this point. Six other
gravity plans were offered, all
covering less acreage than Plan
One but costing about the same
per acre.
The Grand Coulee proposal was
considered under the heading of
columbia River Pumping Pro-
ject." Objections were raised
against it on the ground that it
would supply water to a lesser
area than the gravity system, that
the completely of pumping ma
chinery would make it unreliable
while entailing costly upkeep, and
lastly that the Treaty of 1916 (set-
Ting the "Oregon Question: had
agreed to keep the Columbia open
to British subjects. 81

F.S.A. unds For
New Fiscal Year
Show An Increase

Farm Security funds for all
programs in Franklin, Benton, CO.
lumbia and Walla Walla counties
have been appropriated for the
new fiscal year which began July
I, Edwin O. Warensleben, County
FSA Supervisor, Court House, at
Pasco was advised this week. AL
though funds for five-year oper-
ating goods loans and 40-year
farm ownership are about the
same as those budgeted last year,
money for small water facilities
has been substantially increased.
every effort will be made to
clear as soon as possible all vet
eran and farmer applications, and
supplemental loans to FSA borrow
ers carried over into july" War
tensleben said. eve are also pre-
pared to process all new applica-
tons for water facility, group SER
vice, operating goods or farm own
ership loans. The County FSA
committee will meet as often as is
necessary to review applicants and
loans" =
Special attention will be given
every veteran who is able to rent
or lease a good farm or can qualify
for a farm ownership loan in the
county and is unable to secure
sufficient credit from usual sources
Wartensleben explained. Farm
ers needs are expeced to center
around replacement of worn
out machinery and farm improve
ments delayed by the war. A
heavy demand is expected for
small water facilities for farmstead
water, pasture irrigation and i'm
provemen or repair of present wa
ter systems.
EARN and home plans worked
out with FSAs borrowers for the
coming year will stress placing
each farm on sound and profit
able basis to weather unfavorable
postwar price trends" said War
tensleben. Diversified crop and
livestock programs, a minimum of
speculative cash crops and raising
most of the family food supply on
the farm are being urged"
Office days at the Pasco Office
are set up for every Monday from
9 am to 5 pm.

Columbia Basin Survey

AS result of this movement a

jim O'Sullivan Enters the
Fight for Grand Couloo
That spring James O'Sullivan,
one Of the homesteaders Of this
region, who had been in Michigan
looking after his interests as q con-
tractor, returned to Washington
and was induced by Rufus Woods
to write a series Of articles on the
Grand Coulee proposal for the
Wenatchee Daily World. In his
own investigation Of this project,
Mr.. O'Sullivan realized that 1t
would be necessary to lift the wa
ter part Of the way up to Grand
Coulee by means Of pumps that
a dam high enough to raise the
water the entire 600 feet to the
floor Of the Grand Coulee would
be too large and too expensive for
practical consideration and the
lake about it would inundate too
great an area Of land. From his
exposition Of the feasibility OF
pumping, the proposed develop
ment came to be known as the
pumping project"
More important, however, was
the fact that these articles running
in the Wenatchee Daily World
created so much favorable senti-
ment that the Basin Commission
was forced to spend portion OF
it's funds in studying it. A per-
functory investigation was made;
but when the commissions report
was published in 1920 it recon-
mended the gravity system as pre-
ferable to the dam and pumping
plant at Grand Coulee. The Num-
Der One plan which it offered
would bring water from Flathead
Lake in Montana and Pend Oreille
T axe in northern Idaho through

Wenatchee Daily World Publ
e;xne Grand CollloA

Rufus Wood of the Wenatchee
Daily World was in Ephrata one
day SOLICITING advertising for his
paper when he learned of the pro-
position for damming the Column
bia at Grand Coulee which was
being discussed. Impressed with
the magnitude of the idea, he
wrote as follows in the issue OF
the Daily World for July 18, 1918:
"The last, the newest, the most
ambitious idea in the way of rec
lamation and the developments OF
water power ever formulated is
now in process of development
The idea contemplates turning the
Columbia River back into its old
bed in Grand Coulee by the con-
struction of a giant dam, the rec
lamation of between one and two
million acres of land in Grant
Adams and Franklin counties and
the development Of water power
approximating Niagara Falls"
The commissioners of Grant
County had sent the deputy coun-
ty engineer, Norvel Enger, to in
vestigate possible damsites and he
had reported favorably concern
ing the proposition.
Hopes of Grand Coulee crowd
were beginning to soar.
Spokane Supports the
Gravity SYtem
But shadow passed over their
sun when the SpOkeSman-RevieW
editorially scoffed at the article in
the Wenatchee Daily World as a
ridiculous whopper, and the Spo-
kane Chamber of Commerce be-
gan promotional activity in sup
port of the gravity system. Under
their auspices j. C.. Ralston, con-
sulting engineer and stock holder
in the Washington Water Power
company made a preliminary re-
port on the Pend O'Reille gravity
system and pronounced it feasible.
Mr.. Blaine "sold" the plan to
Washington's Governor Ernest
Lister and prevailed upon him to
make a speech in favor of it at a
dinner given in hs honor n Spo-
kane. It was featured as part Of
his reconstruction program to pro-
vide jobs and homes for returning
soldiers and sailors. AS reported
in the press, his speech aroused
all the people of Eastern Washing
ton to action with his proposal to
use water Of the Pend O'Reille
River"
