_ FOR SKAGIT IS NEEDED $5,500,000 Additional Complete Power Project to Be Required to Approximately $5,500,000 more will Be required to complete the Gor Creek development of the agit hydro-electric development project, | Recording to a report filed with the Council finance comruittes Wednes ) @ay by City Engineer A. H. Dimock Tho additional investment will| bring the total cost of to $11,000,000 the project | panes i CAE Dimock's report was made at the Fequest of Councilman C. B. Fitager. Old, chairman of finance commit: | be informed as to| d, in lon to} ed, to] it river project @nd make powel r availa’ bution within the city In explaining why the cost of the Bkagit will be twice that of the orig. Mal estimate, Dimock “The original estima §was based on a contracto @f $3,500,000 for a pla @n the Skagit river, plu je for distri 5,500,000 estimate to be built estimate @f $1,500,000 for transmission and | lus $500,000 for a substation. All the work was limited to a size suffi etent only to provide 50,000,-horsepower _ NO SURVEYS TO MAKE ESTIMATE “At that time w @r borings to ena @etailed estimate, a delivery of | nad no surveys us to make a or even to make a Proper design of the development of the river. The present estimate of | $11,000,000 is based on a logical plan for the most lopment | @f the power of the Skagit river and | 4s the result of the study of numer ©us plans and estimates.” When the project is finally com Pleted, the city, according to the Dimock report, will have: “A railroad 26 miles in length from eeckport to the power house and} i, sawmill capable of cutting 25,- 000 feet, board measure, per day. “A power plant of 3,000-horsepower @apacity to furnish power for con struction purposes. This plant will ‘@perate asa part of the system, but has not been included in figuring the capacity of the system. “A timber crib dam for diverting ‘The flow of the river. This dam will Be utilized later for diverting the| _ Water from the site of a large con- Grete dam to be built when it shall Become necessary. “A tunnel leading from this dam @nd conducting the water to the ‘Power house, the tunnel being 21 feet in diameter and carrying suf- mt water to develop 112,500 power, which is one-half the installation at this plant.

This amount of power will developed when the wheels take their water from the concrete dam to be constructed in the future. en taking water from the timber @am the output of the two units will be 50,000 horsepower. This lesser ‘output is occasioned by the fact that ‘the head or total drop of the water| “from the future concrete dam to the water wheel is 385 feet and is only 285 feet between the timber dam and tie water wheel. “A transmission Ine capable of de- Byering 112,500 horsepower from the Plant to Seattle. “Six substations to be built within fhe limits of Seattle and to be used for the transformation of this power and its delivery to the distributing system of the city. “Sufficient additions to the dis tributing system within the city lim fits to enable the light department fully to utilize the current from the Skagit river.” WILL FIND READY MARKET; WILL AID SEATTLE That the power to be developed by the Skagit will find a ready market and that its construction will bring big business here and will increase the income of the light department, fs stated by the report. Dimock dis cussed the marketability of the hydro-electric power from three points: “First—The load of the municipal light and power plant for the year 1920 was 24,000 kilowatts, or 32,000 horsepower. Of this load 12,000 kilo- ‘watts, or 16,000 horsepower, was fur mished by the city’s hydro-electric plant on Cedar river and 12,000 kilo- ‘watts, or 16,000 horsepower, by the city’s steam plant. This power is costing approximately 1% cents per Kilowatt hour. It will cost, delivered from the Skagit, from % cent to @ents per kilowatt hour. The tots gaving effected by transferring the Joad from the steam plant to the Skagit will be approximately $400,000 @ year on the basis of the 19 “Second—Under the cont the purchase of the street ri system the city may take over at any time after April 1, 1922, by giv- ing one year’s notice, blocks of pow- er to the amount of 5,000 kilowatts or 6,700 horsepower per annum. The total power required for the ope tion of the street railway system | approximately 20,000 kilowatts or 27, 000 horsepower, which will be all taken over within four years, The total load available for the Skagit river plant is therefore 00 kilo. watts or 43,000 horsepower. CONSIDERABL REASE MAY BE EXPECTED “Third—It is reasonable to expect @ considerable increase in ‘the load from year to year, During the last ten years the load furnished by the light department has increased at the fate of 14 per cent per annum com- pounded annually, The average rate THE ; Ss “Treasure” Digger Resumes Search Toiled Till Dark Wednesday Night Frank Johnston, Seattle's “ Bright and early Thursday morn- |ing, Frank Johnston, the “treasure | digger,” who has excited much inter. est in the neighborhood of East Mad: ison st., near Washington park, was on the job with renewed feverish in terest, Johnston awakened Mra.

C. Dalton of the origin, purpose and general effect of the charges of non-support preferred against him by the crooning Lillian. Listen at dat “She's forever in jail, judge,” said Walter, “and she ain't no good nohow.” “Ummm,” hummed Lillian. “Listen at dat nigger lief” ‘She's in about every two weeks,” Walter continued, “and she's just got out now and started dis charge agin’ me." “You're houndin’ me all the time and puttin’ me there,” Lillian re- torted. “What were you in for last time?” jasked the court, “For chasin’ Hattle Green wid a butcher knife,” said Lillian calmly. “She's In love wid my husban’,” Why don't you support your child?" the judge asked Walter. “Judge, the court took from dat woman years ago and adopted it out. I ain't under yo obli gation now.” “Um-m-m-m,” sang Lillian, at dat nigger lie!” But the records were searched And Walter had told the truth. “Listen “I'l have to dismiss this case Jagainst Walter,” the court an noun! “Both of you, go in peace. “Come here, honey,” sald Lillian to Walter. “I wants to talk to you.” “Gone on way from me,” the man responded with a strained gesture, and Lillian retreated to the door. Then she shouted: “You come on out here away from dis cote and I will talk to you.” Bailiff Frank Pyle, seeing Walter's predicament, ushered him thru a side door and showed him the back stairs, of increase of population for Seattle for the last 30 years has been 7 per cent per annum compounded annual ly. The increase in the output of the Puget Sound Light & Po’ pany has been at th ent per annum for the last ten and the total increase in the use of power in Seattle and the surrounding territory has been 7 per cent per an- num for the last ten years, “The rate of increase in the use of power will undoubtedly be greater than the rate of increase in popula tion for the reason that domestic consumption increased, due to the increased use of power in the home, and especially the ever-grow- ing demand for electric cooking ap pliances, and also to the increasing demand for power for manufacturing purposes, “At an average rate of 7 per cent per annum the increase in load by January 1, 192 be in full op watts or 11,000 horsepower. “It will be seen, therefore, that there {s every reason to expect that the Skagit river plant will fully loaded by the time it begins opera tion and that its construction will increase the natural income of the light department,” dat child | “Beat it? he advised. But Walter stood fast. “I'm goin’ to stay right here by dis jsheriff's office," he announced. “Tain’t no disgrace to: be near pr tection.” | And as the shadows fell stowty down the long corridors of the court house Walter remained at his post.
