"W HAT! HAS NAM mm The mountains are cdvered%rith a dense stand of fine timber of suit- able quality for .pulp and paper in- dustries, which' in the futurevshouid "ord a near-by market for water power. Moreover. many of the power sites are within easy transmission distance from rather large centers of population-in the Puget Sound and Grays Harbor regions. . Show Power Possibilities Realizing the importance of the water-power possibilities of the Olympic Peninsula, the United States Deportment of the Interior, through the Geological Survey. has already engaged in a prelimin-ry investiga- tion of its water resources. and al- though the information obtained thus far is meager it should serve as. a guide for the more mmplete sur- veys that will be necessary before in- telligent development can proceed. This investigation is typicnl of those being prosecuted by the Geological Survey in many sections of the west, and this partieuhsr one shows the great increase in the possible power development of a region through the impounding of flood waters in main:- tain storage reservoirs, thus nug- menting and equalizing the 'ttow of the streams. During the summer of 1925 E. E. Jones, a Geological Survey engineer, made reconnaissance surveys of the basins of Skokomish, Dosewallips, Hamma Hamma, and Lilliwaup rivers. These surveys, supplemented by a stream-ttow data previously ob- tained by the Geological Survey. have permitted a rough approximation of the water power possibilities of the region. The results are set forth in two manuscript reports now avail- able for inspection in the office of the Geological Survey " Washing- ton, D. c. or in the district other: of the Geogolical Survey, 404 Federal building, Tacoma, Wash. One of these reports covers the Skokornish basin. and the other covers the Dose- wallips, Hamma Hamma. and Lilli- waup basins. Cautious Storage Ran-ruins The Skokomish basin presents more favorable opportunities for mrrte-power development than the others, primarily because it has pos- sibilities for considerable storage on the North and South forks.

The Olympic mountains, a part of the Neifie coast range. rise to nltitades of about 8,000 feet within close proximity to the sea, and their consequent steep slopes, combined with exceedingly heavy rainftut, have produced num- erous streams with well-sustained itow and steep gradients favorable for water-power development.

I er two Imus, At that time. when diamonds were trumps with most gem dealers, Jacob Dreicer staked his fortune on pearls and won. To the literal minded. a pearl is only the concretion of lime in the Shell of a mollusk. To Jacob Dreicer, a pearl was the pure essence of beauty, the most exquisite of all gems, the one gem that could adorn all types of woman's beauty. He lived to see the carriage of the city's grandest dames lined up in front of his store "just to Jet. the world be- hold." During the fifty-nine years his firm was in business. the sales of pearls amounted to more than $100,000,000. So one man's faith scorched the repelling superstition that pearls were the tears of the hopeless, and exalted his treasures to the prized distinction of family heirlooms.

In 1868. when Jacab Dmitri" established Wrecier & Com- pany, he probably did not foresee that his house would assemble my of the great pearl collation: pequir- ed by American families, for he was a pioneer in proclaiming the beauty of pearls in the age that regarded diamonds as the symbols of success. The Civil war had ended only three years before, and the country was still adjusting itself to new distribu- tions and amalgamations of wealth.

Diamonds glowed as brightly as Franklin stoves in family drawing rooms. They shone on heads, on necks. on fingers, on shirtfronts, and on stomachs. and no one lacked for assurance that "them 'at has 'em wears 'em."
