| in the lower reaches of the Okla
hogan Valley. Approximately
1,4OO acres would be irrigated by
gravity on Bridgeport Bar, the
left bank of the Columbia.
A comprehensive plan for full
development of the power re-
sources of the main stem of the
Columbia includes construction OF
six dams in eastern Washington
above Pasco,- and the development
! of upstream. storage. Two of the
dams, Grand Coulee and Rock Is
land, have been constructed, but
the full generating capacities have
not yet been installed in the
poWerhouses. The four dams yet
to be built are, in downstream or
der: Foster Creek, 1,024, 900 kilo-
watts; Chelan, 475,000; Rocky
Reach, 100000; and Priest Rapids.
100000.
The Horse Heaven Unit of the
Umatilla Rapids Project would in
volve irrigation of about 127 ,OOO
acres of new land in Washington,
lying adjacent to the river west
of the proposed McNary Dam
The area would be served by
pumping. The Roosevelt Project,
consisting of $500 acres in the
vicinity of Roosevelt, Washing
ton, would be irrigated by pump
ing from the reservoir behind the
proposed John Day Rapids Dam,
on the main stem of the Columbia.
Okanogan River Basin.-An es-
timated 1000 acres of land suit
able for irrigation along the Okla
hogan River may be irrigated by
the installation of individual or
community power plants.
MethoW River Basin.-About
900 acres of new land can be de-
|veloped in the MethoW River
Basin, the report states.
Chelan River Basin.-In the
Chelan River Basin about 1900
acres at the lower end of Lake
Chelan appear to be susceptible to
irrigation. All of the new acreage
would have to be supplied by
pumping from the lake. The
areas include 1000 acres in the
Howard Flat Irrigation District,
$50 acres in Knapps Coulee, and
$50 acres along the lake shore.
Wenatchee River BaSin.-The
Wenatchee River Basin has UNI
used water resources which afford
substantial opportunities for fu-
ture irrigation and power devel-
opments. The most ambitious
plan for expansion Of irrigation is
included in the proposal OF the
Greater Wenatchee Irrigation
District. The plan contemplated
the irrigation OF 29,053 acres
through a canal system heading in
Lake Wenatchee. The low cost OF

dams on the Columbia river, may
well make it more desirable to ir-
rigate the lands in the project by
direct pumping from the Column
bia.
Yakima River Basin.-Fuller
use of waters in the Yakima VAL
ley will involve an extension of
about 131, 900 acres in the irri-
gated acreage, the provision of a
supplemental water supply for
$4,000 acrs currently irrigated,
flood control measures, and mod
crate increases in hydroelectric
production. The Roza Division is
to be enlarged to its full $4,000
acres.
Seventeen thousand acres OF
new land are to be brought under
irrigation in the Kennewick Di-
vision of the Yakima Project. The
other prospective new land de-
velopments are within the Yakima
Indian Reservation. They consist
of the Klickitat Division of $4,000
acres, the Status Unit No. 3 Of T.
500 acres (already authorized for
construction by the Office Of
Indian Affairs), and an additional
$500 acres in the Wapato Indian
Project. In addition, supplement
tai water would be provided for
Is, 700 acres along Ahtanum Greek
and for $1,000 acres situated else
where in the valley.
Plans for development of hydro
electric power with waters of the
Yakima River include installation
of 12,O00-kilowatt plant, by the
Bureau of Reclamation, on the
main canal of the Roza Division,
a plant of similar size at Chandler
on the Kennewick Project, and
construction of two plants, having
installed capacities Of 41,600 and
$4,000 kilowatts, by the Office Of
Indian Affairs, on a diversion
canal from the Klickitat River to
the Yakima Valley. Elimination
of floods which occur in the
Yakima Galley at intervals of
S to 6 years would be eliminated
under plans being considered.
Minor Tributaries.-A number
of lesser tributaries of the Column
bia present possibilities for future
development. These include the
following acreages of new land:
Kettle River, 1000; Hall Creek,
1000; Sanpoil River, 1000; Nespe-
lem River, 1000; and Entiat River,
800.
Main Stem of the. Snake.-Fu-
ture development along the lower
Snake River would involve an
increase in irrigated acreage, es-
tablishment of Slack-Water navi-
cation to Lewiston, and installa-
ton of large hydroelectric plants.
More than $4,000 acres might
be irrigated from reservoirs Gre
ated by dams to be built by the

Prosser. A supplemental water
supply also is proposed for the 73,
600 acres included within projects
in the Yakima Valley. Pumping
will be required to serve more
than 80 per cent of the new land
acreage in eastern Washington.
Future needs will govern de-
velopment of hydroelectric po-
tentialities, which in the aggregate
are extremely large. OF the adj
ditional generating capacity which
may be installed, about 80 per
cent is on the main stem of the
Columbia and virtually all of the
remainder is on the Snake.
AS the Bureau advances its
planning Investigations, projects
other than those listed may be in
Guided and some now named may
be eliminated. Considerable adj
ditional study lis necessary on
most of the proposed develop
ments.
Main Stem of the Columbia
Thirty-one thousand acres can be
irrigated from the main stem OF
the Columbia River in addition to
the Columbia Basin Project. One
proposal embraces a number OF
Separate tracts, totaling $4,000
acres, along Franklin D. Roosevelt
Lake, behind Grand Coulee Dam,
which can be served by pump
lifts averaging $50 to 800 feet from
that hOdv of water
The second proposal, Of equal
size, involves lands which can be
served by canals from the Foster
Creek Dam, structure proposed
primarily for power production on
the Columbia below Coulee Dam.
About 1860 acres of the land lie

is ignored too frequently in political
appointments is an old complaint but
more serious is the fact that this I'M
favorable situation isn't limited to the
eeie,d of politics but is quite evident in
many orher undertakings calling for
statewide representation.
AS an example, the president OF the

Secretary Royal has maintained with
his state during his years in Washing

And like the remainder of North

man was not only recognition of his
valuable services in the past, ranging
from Colonel to Undersecretary of War,
but it assured continuation of his able
talents in effecting unification of the
armed forces. Late last week he was
formally named Secretary Of the Army

rate. In fact, it amounts to slightly
less than three quarters of a cent on
the 500 valuation. 1t is absurd to
look upon the proposal as contributing
ANYTHING to the increased tax rate.
Rather, those attacking the plan
appear to be using this oblique
maneuver against an increased rate
which was inevitable. The reasons for
the boost have been given and if
anyone has sound suggestions as to
reducing the levy, in an appreciate
way, it is certainly his civic obligation
to step forward and present them.
But, to demand that an assistant to
the City Manager not be appointed as
a major way of reducing taxes is a
weak suggestion.
The value of the assistant in help

something like a definite commit
ment from Secretary of War Ken
meth Royal on his weekend visit
to Raleigh were disappointed. The
secretary is still not saying yes
and not saying no about his po-

virtually reiterated his statement
of last winter that he had a job
to do in Washington before giving
too close consideration to North

While not taking himself COM
