And all to please and satiate a few

Instead of this suppose that the
United States should counsel peace

suppose we should encourage the
world-peace Idea by being peaceable

Captain Hobson In the course
his lecture last night urging an In
creased navy said that Japan could
pour 400,000 trained soldiers Into the
Pacific coast states through Los An
tjeies, san Francisco. Portland an
Seattle. What would the people
the United Statea be doing all thl

no credit for being patriots, soldiers
f'ghters? Does ho think they would
sit still and allow 400,000 or 100,000
or 500 armed Japanese to be landed
on the Pacific coast? He certainly
does not know the people of the Pa

painstaking search, finally decided
upon the Cold Springs canyon where
the magnificent reservoir Is now about
complete, .
Many times it seemed as though the
" Umatilla project would be abandon
ed. Nature placed peculiar obstacles
In the way. To take the water down
the south side of the Umatilla 'river
to the original Umatilla project was
Impracticable and costly, although a
fine tract of land could have been
covered.
So crossing the river, to the north
filde another series of patient Investi
gations and examinations succeeded
In locating the present east Umatilla

Had Mr. Whistler been a man of
less patience and perseverance; had
lie been less devoted to his splendid
mission; had he been Inclined to go
elsewhere, w here the obstacles were
not so baffling, Umatilla county might
have waited years for a reclamation

So when we go to Hermlston to
celebrate the opening of the Umatilla
project on May 27, Engineer John T.
Whistler, the father of the Umatilla
project, should receive the recognition
and honor which he so richly deserves
from the people of Umatilla county.

The effect of the order will be to
