NIGHT AND DAY SHIFT AT DAM
Development of Power Means Much for Valley

     A force of about 100 men are at works at the dam site in night and day shifts. The Northwestern Electric will push the work from now on as fast as possible.
     The power of possibilities of the White Salmon river mean much to this section and will be more fully realized as time passes and more development comes. It means much to have electric lights in the home and to be able to run machinery and household labor-savers such as washing machines, sewing machines, sausage grinders, carpet sweepers, laundering irons, and cooking utensils. Pumps will be largely operated by electricity and with further invention, a lot of labor will be saved by making use of water now going to waste.
     There is no reason why several factories should not come as a result of the development of White Salmon power from its swiftly flowing river, along which are several fine dam sites.
