The tap-root of the noxious plant which is overrunning the country extends back to that thing which has been blamed for nearly everything unpleasant in our lives, of late the war. At kast that seems to "be the theory of many criminologists and writers. They tell us that it is the inevitable aftermath of an event which, by its very nature, breaks down the moral structure of man and releases his baser instincts. releDhan . .

All this may be true, but the war just as truly made men out of weaklings. The war was in this manner a responsible factor in the present wave of criminality, it is also possible and very probable that the war is responsible in quite another way a way which we have not yet seen pointed out. If the average criminal of tody is 22, when the war broke out nearly four years ago he was under age for the draft, prob ably under age for voluntary enlistments. He did not go into t.'ie army which so surely made men of many boys. He w ent to work, which he may never have done before. His wage in the Columbia basin. The casual resident of Umatilla county doesl not appreciate the fact that a minimum of 120,000 horse power may be devel oped by utilizing the Columbia river at Umatilfc rapids, three miles above the town of Umatilla. , .. . The ordinary resident of Pendleton scarcely dreams of the fact that such vast energy is now going to waste only 30 miles away and that if developed it would provide not otnly Pendleton but this entire section with so much power we would be envied bv all the earth. Those who use power for industrial purposes and those who buy high priced fuel for their homes m city or country, are gen erallv not aware of the fact there is so much 'white coal near at band that if brought into use it would make the use o" coal and fas almost unnecessary in this region. . The facts stand, however, and they are well known to engi neers who have surveyed our great river and in doing so have caught a glimpse of a vision that some day will be realized. The water power of the Columbia is a mighty thing to con sider and the time is at hand to talk of practical effects towards development. The oil supply is running low and coal is to be had only at excessive prices. It is time to harness our water rower. A feature about the Umatilla rapids project is that actual Ufe could be immediately made of much of the electricitv that could be developed there. -Use the power for pimping water onto and lands. Along the Columbia river east of Arlington 150,000 acres are subject to reclamation by such a method. Over i;i Washington a vast amount "of land could be reclaimed. . A beautiful thing about such an arrangement is that the Columbia is highest during the summer time when the irrigation season is on. Hence there would be a maximum amount of power during Tne penoa oi greatest neea. .During tne winter months when MOTHER'S MEND For Expectant Mother Used By Three Geneiitons m roa too X LIT oa aatstasooo M t . ntt BuoniLO RieuuToa Co., Din.

They are men without the taste of high living and the habit of easy-come-easy go. The lad who jumped into a man's job without earning it, and who received more than a man's wages, may have no job now, or, which is more likely, will not work for what he can earn. He. accepts another scheme of livelihood scarcely easier than that to which he may have been accustomed his tool the black jack, the jimmy, the forger's pen or the gun. This may tell the story of why there is a crime wave today und why so many of the criminals are mere boys. In Germany the government is endeavoring to conserve wheat flour by putting a ban on the making of cakes, doughnuts, etc. .during the holiday season. That looks like Europe has need of our wheat and may account for the continued purchases for export although our reputed surplus has already been taken. Pendleton feels it is the w;oolgrowers town as well as thf wheat capital of Oregon. Therefore those attending the wool growers' convention are welcome visitors and if there isi any thing lacking in their entertainment the mistake will be of the head and not the heart.
