SHANGHAI (U.PD-I can scar cely believe it, but I like it. That was my impression of Shanghai after my first five days of open mouthed study of the most in- credible city in the world.
 Five days in Shanghai doesn't quadify anyone to "learn all about it" and my bet Is five years would not provide a full story of this place. But in five days I saw things I have never seen be- fore and do not expect to see in any other place in the world.
 The things 1 have heard, seen and slnelled!
 The vast mixture of races and peoples, natives and foreigners who are qualified to speak about Shanghai, no longer sec anything unusual about it. To them it's routine.
 World of Carnival
 But to freshman, green from the United States, Shanghai is something beyond description. Tn ere's nothing freakish about Sh- anghai to Shanghaiers, but to me it's a world of carnival and cir GUS side-shoW talent.

SERIES OF SMALL ACCIDENTS KEEP SKIPPER AND CREW GUESSING

A series of accidents has dog ged the steps or should we say , knots of Capt. Joseph Zardis of the Hastings Victory. which is now in port here unloading autos and trucks for the military in the interior.
 The Hastings Victory is in the Army Transport Service and on November 7th was ordered to Yokohama where she arrived on November 21st From there the H.V. was ordered to Manila. P.I where she loaded steel and was sent to Batangas which is nearby arriving on Dec. 18th where she picked up over hundred vc- ,hicles. :
 At Batangas. the ship struck the dock causing considerable damage.
 From Batangas the Hastings was ordered to Adak to complete her load and took on 11O vehc- ies for Seward
 At Adak she was rammed by a tug and hole stove in her hull.
 The former captain of the Zal- inski. which was lost near Jun ; eau some time ago is beginning to believe in his bad luck as the break slipped as the anchor was let down and the 6,OOO- pound anchor and 1l0 fathoms of chain hit the bottom of the bay.
 The army will probably fish it up this summer so it won't be a total loss.
 RationS got rather thin aboard the army transport and the cof- fee was cut a third; no supplies will be put aboard, it is said, until the ship arrives in Seattle her next port of call. it is SUD- posed after discharging her cargo here.
 Crew members state that Adak soldiers claim they were short of vehicles there even before no were shipped out, but that's the old army game-ship here and ship there-and keep things moving regardless.

City yCouncil

The garbage collection will be brought before the people for bids in March. There are several who are at present collecting but the city does not seem to be holding the present contractor to his agreement as many citi- Zens seem to feel the charges are unjust, and are not paying.
 The city shipped the men who came in from Anchorage for work and who were on relief there back to Anchorage on No. 2G Friday and will present bill to the city of Anchorage for over SlO0.00 costs for the usual winter spree of shipping people out of that city to get out of taking care of them
 The unual bills were allowed and paid.
 There was no discussion on the bonds, the storage plant. and no mention was made of the suit against the city for the last bond election in which bonds were authorized to purchase new equipment and enlarge the plant.
 According to Atty. Peterson in Anchorage no bonds may be sold before all suits against the city are settled
 Attorney Nesbitt of Anchorage was hired as attorney for Sew ard.

Spray Program
Moving Rapidly

Permits are no longer required
for business men and residents OF
the flooded areas to return to
their places for cleanup work.
For several days flood victims
have been scrubbing and spray
ing preparatory to return to their
places.
Residents are permitted to re-
turn as soon as cleanup work is
completed and permission grant
ed by the Benton-Franklin Health
Department. Trailer and cabin
camps will be reopened as soon
as they are re-icensed.
The Kennewick street depart
ment is engaged in a city-wide
spraying program for mosquito
control. The flood area has prac-
tically all been sprayed and other
parts of the city will be covered
as quickly as the crews can get
around.
It is planned to spray the flood

voir would have been full even
sooner.
"The flow here at Coulee Dam
in 1894 was estimated to be about
a third greater than the present
flood, and the spillway on the
Grand Coulee Dam will handle
about twice the present flow.
There have been several years
since 1894 when the flood has
closely approached the present
one. The situation can be rene
died only by the construction of
reservoirs on the headwaters,
with ample capacity reserved for
flood control, and operated in
accordance with full information
as to the condition of the snow
cover on the waterhead."

poeS. The answer is very little
if any and the reasons are a.
follows:
"a flood-prevention reservoir
must be kept empty as long a:
possible, and filled only as neces'
sary to prevent the stream upor
which it is located from rising
beyond safe flood levels; but the
Grand Coulee Dam was con.
,structed primarily for irrigation
and power, and incidentally fol
navigation, and for these purposes
the lake must be kept full as
long as possible, in order to re.
duce the height to which the wa
ter will have to be pumped to
serve the irrigation project. to
maintain pressure on the tur-
bines for the generation Of pow
er, and to regulate the flow dur
ing the winter or low-water
months, for the generation Of
power and for navigation.
"Manifestly, it is not possible
to keep the lake empty for flood
prevention and at the same time
full for irrigation, power, and
navigation.
"Some reservoirs are construct
ed for all Of these purposes; but
in those cases a certain portion
Of the capacity is reserved for
flood control and other portions
are dedicated to other uses. In
cases Of this kind, the cost Of the
reservoir is allocated to its var
ious intended uses, in accordance
with the benefits expected to ac-
crue to each use.
1.-THE Grand Coulee Dam was
not designed or constructed for
flood-control purposes, and no
portion of its cost was allocated
to that function.
"But let us disregard, for the
moment, the purposes for which
The dam and lake were created
and for which the cost will be
repaid, and assume that the us
able storage space in the lake
had been emptied prior to the
Hood, in anticipation thereof, and
hat the power plant and spill
way gates would be utilized to
heir full capacity to limit the
low to 100000 cubic feet per
second instead Of SAG, 1000, the
maximum 50 far experienced.
The reservoir would still be full
;oday and the flow would be just
what it is today, over 500, 5000
The effect on the
over portion Of the Columbia
River, where the flow is over
.wice what it is here at Coulee
Dam, would have been scarcely
noticeable.
"Had the flow been regulated

Coe Outlines
Filing Procedure

JOBS with salaries up to $12,
500 per year, plus fine working
conditions, are now available t.
qualified voters of the State o,
Washington, Secretary of State
Earl Coe commented this weeh
in connection with the filing Of
declarations Of candidacy for the
September Primary Election.
The only drawback is the fill
Ing fee Of one percent Of the an
nual salary and an ability to get
more than half the voting popu-
lation Of the state In your favor.
These Jobs, Of course, are those
OF the various elective officials
Of the state, whose positions must
be filled by the voters in the pri-
mary and general elections, and
Secretary Coe has outlined the
statutory regulations and pro-
cedure governing official declara-
tons Of candidacy by hopeful
office seekers.
Two major changes In the fill
ing procedure were emphasized
by Mr.. Coe. One Of these short
ems the filing period from 80 to
20 days July to 20 inclusive)
and the other allows candidate
to withdraw his name during a
special five-day period immedi-
ately following the closing of the
filings.
Tho candidate who changes his
mind about the joys Of political
life may ask to have his name
withdrawn during the five-day
period. Unfortunately for him,
however, he won't get his filing
fee back.
Filing fees remain much the
same this year with the excep-
ton Of some offices for which the
salaries have been raised. Mem
bers Of Congress, who now re-
ceive $12,500, pay $125 instead
Of the former 500. The fee for
Supreme Court Judges is now
500, up from $85 and for SUI
uerior Court Judges it is $50, up
from SOS. The State Insurance
Commissioner, who formerly paid
Sos must now dig up SIS, while
the Lieutenant Governors fee
goes from SIP to $50, the biggest
proportional boost.
The minimum filing fee set
by law is $40 and applies to MEM
beers of the Legislature. Precinct
committeeman, however, who
work for no salary, pay only one
dollar.
According to the Secretary of
States office, elective posts to be |
filled this November include the
President and Vice-President Of
the United States, six congress
men; the Governor, secretary of
state, attorney general, 1t. Cover
nor, state treasurer, state auditor,
Supt. Of public instruction, COM
Of public lands, insur-
ance commissioner, three supreme
court judges, SIS superior court
judges, at least one commissioner
in each of the 80 counties, half
Of the IS state senators and all
90 members Of the state house
Of Representatives.
Candidates for all positions COW
