HIGHWAY POWER
 PROJECT MOVES
 TO COMPLETION

The Glacier HlgnWay Electrlcal Association will take another step tomorrow toward completion of it's identification project in this area. At that time bids will be opened fer the setting up of poles along the Associations 21.3 mile route which will bring electricity to most of the rural residents in this area.
 William R. Norton, Association Manager, revealed today that land clearing operations are now about 75 percent complete along the right of way for putting up power line poles. The clearing has been done by the Reid Logging Company and by Hayes and Whitely.
 The project, said Norton, will service residents along the Glacier Highway from the Sherwood farm to Point Stephens and Tee Har- bor. Electrical power will be sold to the Association by the Alaska Electric Light and Power Co. The Association will construct a power sub-station at the Sherwood farm to transmit the power along it's own lines.
 In addition to Glacier Highway residents, power will be furnished to homes on the Mendenhall Loop Road, as far as the bridge, and also on the Fritz Cove Road.
 The project is being financed by the Rural Electrification Admin istration, a branch of the Federal Government. The Association is a coop organization with members not personally liable for it's actions Persons, desiring to purchase pow CT, must join the Association, said Norton The fee is S5.
 He explained that this fee en- titles members to receive 2 maxi mum load oi fifteen kilowatts, but that heavier power loads may be handled by special applications.
 No Extra Charges
 The membership fee also pays for connecting the power right up i to each home without additional charges being made for transform i CTS, meters, etc Norton said that meters will be furnished without any deposit.
 Rates are still pending and Nor ton advised that, until they are l finally set, no one should invest money in any electrical appliances | because of the possibility that the rates might be uneconomical Wait and see," he said.
 A large amount of the power i lines and poles will not be visible from the highway because of US. Forest Service regulations. The Forest Service directed that the lines be kept out of sight in order to preserve the local scenic beauty. Norton admitted that this will mean additional costs of installa- tion to the Association, but said that the Forest Service had help ed as much as possible.

sponsored by the State Depart
ment Of Conservation and Devel-
opment, announces two statewide
school contests for 1948-1949. LA
leater-writing contest, 2. an
Oratorical contest. The purpose
of these contests is to acQuaint

the. potentialities and opportuni-
ties of this great state.
Rules governing the letter-writ-
ing contest are: Includes all pu-

elementary pupils compete by
grades, and high schools as one
group. Each contestant is requir-
ed to write a letter mot more than
500 words) to someone outside
the state inviting them to visit
Americas Wonderland Wash
ington State. Last year the same
idea was used resulting in 10000
fascinating letters advertising our
state written to all parts of the
world. Washington students and
teachers have really accepted the
challenge in big way to aid in
advertising our state. We believe
100000 letters will be written this
year on the scenic beauty and
other attractions of our state, ac-
cording to Albert Fox, Supervisor.
$500 worth of savings bonds
given by the Washington Bankers
association await the letter writ

Work Starts On
Final Link Of
Beech 8. Sewer

Draelines and shovels were
chewing their way this week into
the last tough 200 feet of the
Beech street trunk line sever ex-
cavation.
The strip runs roughly from
Washington street east on Tenth
avenue to a point beyond the Co.
lumbia irrigation canal, and earth
moving equipment is attacking the
job from both ends.
Workmen must tunnel under the
canal to pass the sewer line to
its eastward connection. The tun-
mel will be driven at a depth of
20 feet, which willsput it between
1873 and IA feet under the bed of
the canal, construction superin-
tendents said. The tunnel itself
will be 2 feet across at the top,
3 feet at the bottom, and 4 feet
high. It will carry a IL inch sewer
pipe.
The Job is rendered more diff
cult, also, by the confined nature
of the street, which provides no
space for dirt dumping. Trucks
are driven into the excavation,
loaded and driven out again to
convey dirt to a nearby dumping
area.
The Beech street sewer line
reaches its greatest depth in the
immediate vicinity, superinten-
dents said.

his business for such work.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
The volunteer fire department

ode On
@The Fellowship Of Men

Say not why thousands dragged their chains for centuries,
For it is the crime, the unforgiven sin of every one of us.
Today, the shackles fall about our feet; but are we Free?
Is the freedom of the body the uplifting of the Soul,
Or was our greatest possession then manacled by something worse
than chains?
For hate came seeping in, and numbed our senses; chilled our hearts
And soon became of every one a part!
How well it did its work.
Instead of love we have our neighbor malice,
And rendered such an otentation, that love. far beaten,
Hung low her weary head and looked for other rest.
She was not wanted. The world had long since ceased to think of
such a thing.
clash of swords and thunder of the guns was manifold,
and destruction was the aim.
All lives were wrecked; insane with hate
Those who together had learned the lesson of love
We're rending each other with menace from above.
The kings who sit upon the throne stretch greedy eyes to other pro-
vnces.
And below WAR And rushing to obey the world thinks not Of that
other King who had worn a crown of thorns and ordered Peace!
So vast expanse of land is the gain of greed
But is such victory the triumph of the stalwart heart?
For blood has sneared all hearts and hands
And hate has stained our souls.
Wretched weeping is our crown of gold!
So this be our reward. The peace we seek
So desperately is far withheld from us
And destinies that should be shaped from truth and love
Will be brought Subservient to their knees.
All, well, must weary hearts cry out
At the useless wreckage that hate spreads out
