BILL AIMED AT NEW
POWER FIRM TO DEE
Northwestern Electric and
Horse Heaven Irrigation
ists Compromise.
GROWERS GET KLICKITAT
Corporation to ICctaln While Salmon
riant but Will Give Up AH Plans
lor Klickitat IUver Project
as Kesult of FlgHt.
OLYMPIA. Wash., Feb. 27. (Spe
cial.) Following a. aeries of confer
ences between the various Interests In
volved, an agreement has been reached
whereby the bill now before the Wash
ington Legislature to prohibit the
transmission to another state of power
generated in this state, aimed directly
at the Northwestern Electric Company
of Portland, will be killed.
The Northwestern Electric. Company
under the agreement will retain Its
riparian rights and its power plant on
the White Salmon River, allowing the
lrrigatlonlsts of Horse Heaven country
to utilize the Klickitat water for the
reclamation projects now being de
veloped.
The bill prohibiting interstate trans
mission f power, which was intro
duced in the Legislature solely to force
the Northwestern Electric Company
into an agreement to give up the
Klickitat water, will be brought up in
the House of Representatives tomor
row morning and Indefinitely post
poned on motion of Its author, Repre
sentatlve Rowland. A similar bill be
fore the Senate will also be killed.
Klver Too Small for Both.
The Northwestern Electric Company
obtained the riparian rights on the
Klickitat from W. S. Tearsley. who
guaranteed the rights to the company.
When irrigationists of Horse Heaven
Valley learned of the power plan they
immediately set to the task oi prying
the power people loose, desiring the
use of the Klickitat water for the ir
rigation of between 300.000 and 00.000
acres of land. Both projects were not
possible on the same river.
Inasmuch as the Northwestern Com
pany Intends to sell the power gener
ated in this state in Portland, the
Horse Heaven Irrigation leaders framed
a bill to prohibit the interstate trans
mission of power. The bill was so ar
ranged that it would affect only the
Northwestern Electric Company, pro
vision being made for the exemption
from the restrictions companies fur
nishing such service on or before March
1. The Northwestern Electric project
will not be In operation by that time.
Settlement Finally Reached.
The Northwestern Electric Company
returned the Klickitat rights to Mr.
Tearsley. who offered them to the
Horse Heaven people for $175,000, the
price covering the value of the rights
amounting to $100,000 and JTj.000 for
improvements put in by the company.
The lrrigatlonlsts objected to paying
$17.5.000, and asked for a compromise
which was brought about today. The
deal was closed up and the need for the
bill being eliminated its backers ar
ranged for its disposal by indefinite
postponement.
Power officials. Including W. E. Co-
man, general manager of the North
western Electric Company, have made
frequent visits here In the interest of
the settlement. They all left today for
their homes.
