I By Marshal I. Dana .
Five- years ago the people of : the
Columbia basin celebrated the com
pletion of the Celilo canal.' "' j
The I isteamer Undine carried . a
Western Oregon fir at her Jackstaf f
clear o Lewlnton, Idaho, . The sig
nificance of the , act was apparent.
She also carried an excursion of
Open) River campaigners. They
rejoiced that through the great ca
nal, circumventing: the violent rapids
of Celilo , and Tumwater, their
dreams had come true, "j
The problem of navigation on the Co
lumbla! and Snake rivers wn solved (or
.alt time. We stemmed the John Pay.
the Umatilla and other "rapids, fighting
foot by foot and Inch by inch with! all
the power of team and a thrashing
paddle wheel. But that wti no matter.
PROBLEM IS SOLVED j
The problem u solved. ' There Was
no accounting of the coat or the diffi
culty. The eastern rim of the Inland
Kmplrei had been reached by water. Lew.
laton celebrated. Pasco and Ken ne wick
were happy. Wallula and Walla Walla,
Umatilla, and Pendleton united vln . wel
coming thf great day of established nav
igation.! ; i ' j.-;
As a member of the excursion arid ons
who fotund pleasure in its purposes 1
wrote reams about the solved problem
of navigation on the upper Columbia and
Snake. But going back to files I find a
reference to the loneliness of the upper
river. iK. boats were passed. Towns In
frequently clustered on those wild al) ores.
. But rarely a bird winged his flight over
head, though In the early mornings from
the sage grown fields came the' hopeful
note! e( jthe nieadowlark. . .
The years march: on.; The upper rivers
still are; lonely. A great traffic of boats
has not; followed. The waves that held
put their foam white hands as we passed,
the- rocks that drew their dark heads
Jueti. below rippling surfaces, and the
echoed yolcea of the waters tell us why.
1SSIK STILL REMAINS j ;
We cojuldn't see far enough. We gave
the boy a pair of Shoestrings and called
him: shod. We gave the horse a bucket
from whllch to drink and considered him
fed bothwith corn and with hay. "When
the ; locks at the Cascades were built
yeai's aro the people probably thought
the Problem was salved. When the port
age railroad at CelUo was built in even
earlier times someone no doubt made a
sieech declaring the arrival of the day
of days. . ; '.. j
. We coluldn't hear well enough. The
voices oil the rapids wer trying Jo tell
us that pnergy only to be meaaured n
millions of horsepower was foaming and
leaping jnrith entire wastefulness there.
Tbey wdre trying to tell us that mil
lions f acres of dry,; sage-grown land

Wis couldn't see broadly enough -''There
-was too
much disposition to accept a
parti for
the whole, to accept without
Question
the proposition that the local
Improvement provided by the goverh-
meat in
concesslon to special- pressure
of Appeal or political influence was
enough. The United States engineers
are among those who haven't seen broad
ly enough. Consult their notes. Talk to
then Observe how often the words 'im
mediate "juse" creeps In. One would
.think the boats must be w&iting with
steam tipj that th farmers must be ten

itles with their docks, elevators and
mills must be established before the im
provemenits for navigation, hydro-electric

SOME HjtVE TISIOJT
The many have failed" to nee that th
development of the Columbia, its-inland
tributaries and the! land it drains must
be made i a project of the whole. A
, few have (seen. Joseph N. Teal has seen.
C Sj Jackson has seen. And there are?
others. - 1
Teal was the author of a paragraph
In the river and harbor get approved
July! 27. 1916. It reads: j

Thjette last words were written by
Teal in-1915: ! ;
"When these rivers are properly used
and 1 the opportunities at hand taken
advantage of, these valleys will rival
the ficlieat of earth. Where now and
then we find a hamlet and. here and
therer an occasional! settler, there will
be. cities and countless homes and thou
sands, of people producing everything
the world demands. The possibilities of
this jsection, industrially, commercially
and agriculturally, are as yet but little
understood or appreciated."

AutoTheft Bureau

The auto theft bureau, of the Portland
polled i is the most efficient of any other
bureau for the same purpose on the
coast, according to B. W. McCay of San
Francisco, chief investigator of the Pa
cific fCoast i Auto Underwriters bureau
In a letter received by Lieutenant
Thatcher, i ' j :
The laudation is prompted by the fact
that the local bureau - has reduced the
number of i thefts of automobiles and
motortaycles to the ; smaller minimum
and has recovered the greater percentage
of stolen machines than any other sim
ilar bureau. j - ; '
"The work of the department is being
facilitated by. the addition of a card In
dex system," said lieutenant Thatcher,
"which Is being installed as rapidly as
poHslble." ). Over G0.00U Oregon .motor
Vehicltes are listed and made quickly
available by motor number and license
number. : A current j index is kept of
machines reported stolen from the out
side, pver 4000 of which are on file at
this date. There are also 2000' machines
catalogued as in storage which the

THE DALLES SHORT!
OF LIVING ROOMS
FOR NEW TEACHERS
Problem Is So Serious That the
Chamber- of Commerce Puts
Special Committee on Job, !
- Tha Dalles, Aug. H.-Thls cty
faces the problem of opening its
schools on September 13, minus 60
teachers, unless some immediate way
la found to provide tha pedagogues
with houses or boarding accommo
dations. : t '
There is a dearth of houses for rent
In the city, and it is practicably Im
possible for persons to secure room and
board. Day. after day people desiring
to locate permanently here, arrive, find
tio houses or rooms available and leave
for other cities. : ' - -j ' ; . i
This same .condition 'has now arisen
as a bugbear to worry th school board.
It has planned to open the city schools
Beptember IS, and has contracted with
60 teachers to report herei ready to be
gin teaching the young- Idea- "how to
shoot" a few days previous. ti - i
Upon Investigating the available
houses for rent and the ! prospects of
single male and female teachers sectto.
Ing room and board, the I school board
found itself up against a stone wall bet
cause of the fact that nothing was avail,
able, and would not be for months, api
parently. It now has toi: devise some
ways and means for housing married
teachers and providing room and board
for single instructors, or postponing the
opening of the schools until relief can
be afforded. ' -
Members of the school board appeared
before the Chamber of Commerce, and
sought assistance of that body In order
to solve the perplexing problem. Pro
feasor R. N. Kirk, school superintendent,
stated that he had Bought houses and
room and board here for the 60 teachers
for weeks, and had been able to get but
two single instructors placed with room
and board. He said that It ' appeared
to him that in view of the situation,
suitable quarters must be provided In
some way at an early, date, or the open
ing of the schools would be delayed
considerably.
A committee from, the! Chamber of
Commerce, consisting of Judge J. Tj
Rorlck, Professor R. KJ Kirk, E.C.
French, B. R. Utfin.1 and E. Fitxgerald4
was chosen with instructions .te solve
the problem If possible. , It was suggest'
ed that a sanitarium near the city, not
in use t at this time, be i secured, re
modelled so as to be made comfortable,
and furnished to afford quarters for the
instructors. " ; - ? t .-s

with eyes bloodshot from the tears that
had welled from them during the pre
ceding hours. The mari was plainly in
distress, but still making- an effort to
accomodate , the customers of the com-k
munlty he serves. One motherly woman
tenderly reached dowp jto a little gtri;
hugged her, and whispered that "it ia
all right, darling." .1
The children of the neighborhood were
clustered near the little store. They
knew that things were hot as usual, and
they didn't laugh and play as was their
custom. " They seemed sobered by the
atmosphere. Kven the store was not
Just right, i It was quiet and dark. One
felt that it. too, was mourning. 1
EMPTY, HEARTS BESEECH j
' And those down stairs could not hear
the muffled sobs of the broken hearted
mother and sister Apstalrs. For hours
they laid and cried, their hearts reaching
out to- the one that had been taken
from them. They prayed for him to
come back from the eternal sleep, j
; But he was gone forever. His tiny
arms would never again fold about his
mother. His place at jthe table would
always he vacant. There would be no
fuaMher use fon his empty clothes, and
he would never again call out : "Mother,
are you: there?" . ""'(" !'
Donald had paid the price of another's
negligence. He had left the house the
afternoon before to play. As he left
he called to his mother: "Mamma, call
me when dinner is ready and I will
come right i back." , But the mother did
pot callt i Instead the i father tenderly
picked up the son's prostrate form from
the street. I . ..

Sunday Dancing :

Highway in Hood
Hood River, Aug. 14 By a decision
handed down by the county court, the
ban goes on! Sunday dancing, and -there
is every prospect of a time limit of mid
night being set on all dances held within
the jurisdiction of the county . court.
The contention arose vcr the granting
of a license for Sunday dances at a
resort i on the highway near . Wyeth,
which aroused strong feeling throughout
the counJy. j Judge Blowers from the
outset has taken the stand that if Sun
day dancing is permitted on the highway
It will be very difficult for the local

The Macleay cannery had 1406 fish
on the floor one -day this week as one
night's catch. The sudden rush of fish
has been so great the canneries are

In 140 fish,- which brought v the two
fishermen operating the boat over $460
for their night's work. This of course
was an exception, but the fishermen are
all doing well, although the early part
of the season was a losing one There
are three canneries on the river,; and as
a result there are more fishing boats
than can operate to good advantage.
Twelve cents a pound Is being paid by
the canneries for the fish.'.

the equipment to arrive on time. . ,
