Varying Opinion
One contracting firm, Thomp­
son & Parker, is working out of
Kent and another, the Electric
Construction company is prepar­
ing to start within a few weeks
on their contract that runs from
the township line south of Grass
Valley, 3 townships South of
the Base line. They also have the
contract as far south as Clarno.
The Electric Construction com­
pany, a Tacoma firm, has been
building short lines in Wasco
county to give service to "new
users there, a job that is now
nearly finished according to Eric
Johnson, manager of The Dalles
Poles have been distributed

Coast of Normandy between L
and work of building the lines is
heads following prolonged air
expected to begin soon. * t
Mr Johnson says that he ex­
pects that electric current will be
distributed id Sherman county
by Christmas. The Wasco REA,
he says, has some transformers
that will be available for connec­
ting farmers although not enough
for all customers.
Mr Parker of Thompson &
P ark er has said that th ere is-
no prom ise of enough m aterial
for connecting
m any w ith the*
lines until next spring.
The four mile line that con-
-nected the Bourbon elevator with
the Kent line has been bought
‘ by the REA and will be incor­
porated into the system when it
is established. •*;

if a few hot days come to the
county. So far the weather has
been cool since the first rains
of June and farmers are much
encouraged over the
of a heavy crop made up of big,

Farmer estimates of the crop
are usually more accurate than
that of others.

was in error in mathematics iasa
week in saying that a 25

bushels. That w as based on 4 2 »
