The whole of central Washington Is watch-J Ing with deep Interest the gigantic con test that is-golng on for the control of, the richest Irrigated belt of the state, where electricity, .generated by water- power. Is to dominate the development of more than 100,000 acres irrigable land along the Columbia. From Wenatchee to Pasco and from Richland to Wal- lula the eyes of every man ars turned toward the waterpower projects. Three big Seattle water, and electrlo power companies are factora in the gi gantic contest for control of water,- elec tric power and Irrigation resources of the lower Columbia river valley. The Burbank Water A Power company, of which James D. Hog Is president. Is one; the Hanford Irrigation . Power companyi of which -Michael Earles Is president is another, and the Lower Yakima Valley Irrigation company, of which M. K. Downs Is president la third. Strahorn's electrlo power and railroad enterprises In the valley are interwoven with these. , ' Projects Developing' Bapidly. . The combined electrlo horsepower rat ing of the Hanford and Burbank pro jects is not above 3500 at this time, but plans are already under way for the rapid development of both enterprises. The Lower Yakima Irrigation company takes water from the Yakima at Horn Rapids, and has finished its first year without a break in the main : canal. More than 1000 acres of the most fer tile soil at Richland is to be reclaimed this winter by the Downs corporation by the aid of electrlo 'power for pump ing purposes. AeroBS the Columbia river, st Pasco, there Is a level tract of nearly 10,000 acres which Strahorn and his associates have sought for months to bind up in a contract for reclaiming by means of pumping water from the Columbia by electrically operated pumps. Arrow smith, the Yakima superintendent and manager for the Spokane wizard, is au thority for the statement tha a site for a big pumping plant has been ob tained on the Snake river, three miles east of Pasco, and that pumps operated' by electricity generated by waterpower on'., the Naches i river, over lop miles away, will be available within six months. ... .. Battla on at Walla Walla. The tocsin of war has been sounded at Walla Walla, where Robert E. Stra horn, the "railroad wizard of the north-! west,' Is seeking an outlet by asking for a franchise for his big system of electric lighting, power and railroad enterprises and where he intends to confer with the combined forces of northwestern electric corporations now held in trust by the ' Bond & Shares company, of New York, an acknowl edged . holding corporation of the Gen eral Electric company. For the first time in the history of the Paciflo north west, there Is to be a real clash of interest between the big power compa nies operating in Idaho, Washington and Oregon. Boston has for 20 years been the fi nancial headquarters of the banks and trust companies which have furnished untold millions of capital for the Gen eral Electric company and its allied corporations, such as Stone & Webster, wnicn owns ana manages 95 -per cent oi the power plants in the Pacific north west - I vx I rr.il.-. nn n : i i.u?!
