WHY?
HERE is authority for the statement that at the present
I time there are not less than 20 small ranchers along the
Columbia who are pumping water for irrigation from the
river using crude oil for power. On one of these places there is
a 90 acre pear orchard from which $25,000 worth of pears was
shipped to Chicago and New York in 1918. This orchard and
numerous other places are now jeopardized from the fact crude
oil is to be taken from the market.
Now why should it be necessary for anyone to ship in Cali
fornia oil in order to pump water from the.Columbia river? Why'
snoum tne t-astern uregon state iiospiiai or any other local in
stitution or industry be dependent on outside sources of fuel
when one-third the potential water power of the nation is to be
found in the Columbia basin ? Why should Umatilla county and
adjoining counties put up with a shortage of oil and coal when
at Umatilla rapids a minimum of 120,000 electric horse power
may be developed? Why should this state permit maiiy thou
sands of acres of arid lands along the Columbia to go unwatered
when the water and the natural energy for pumping that water
is at hand and ready for use?
Some people think that the proposition of using the Colum
bia river for development work is only a dream. - That may be
so but it is a dream that may be realized and engineers have.al
ready sun-eyed the project and given an estimate of the cost.
The project is less expensive And more feasible than the Colum
bia basin project in the state of Washington. The Washington
project, which is being earnestly boosted by Washingtonians and
by many in Oregon, will cost $300,000,000, it is said. The esti
mate on the cost of the Umatilla rapids power plant is $20,500,
000. If the Columbia basin project is worth fighting for, as
it doubtless is, why should Oregon hesitate about working for
th John Day project and the use of the Columbia for reclaiming
the lands in that project? - .
, The situation is a challenge to the intelligence and the inge
nuity of our people. Shall we work the problem out or continue
to vegitate while Washington and California go forward bee-use
they have gumption and make use of it?

THE FUNNYBONE
TIME'S LEADEN WINGS
HERE are some people who say they do not take much
stock in Christmass. Maybe they do and maybe they
don't. If they dont like Christmas it is because the light
does not shine just right upon the picture. It is a wonderful
, scene if you see it in its true color. It is most marvelous of
course to the eyes of those between the ripe ages of from say
three years sto 10 or more. To citizens who come in this cate
Kory there is nothing stale or unimportant about this season. It
it a time of earnest hope and feverish expectation but Father
Vime, who is supposed to fly so swiftly, is a disappointment. He
is a dwawdler and it has been a long, long time since last Sun
day until tonight, Gee, Gosh. Those who feel that Christmas
comes rather often or descends upon us before we know it are in
' error. Leave the matter to a vote of the children and you will
find a strong sentiment to the effect there is an excessive slow
ness about the approach of this magic eve. Something should be
done to speed up the process, they believe, and there are even
older children, ranging in years up even into the ninetiess who
have a touch of this same complaint, strange to say.
It is hard, of course, to reguiate these matters. It is also
hard to tell anyone just how to look at the Christmas picture to
fiee it m its full glory but one known method, and there may be
..tiiers, is to stand by your own fireside where your own children
have hung up their stockings, then be around in that vicinity, on
the following morning. Few who follow this method fail to
get results. ,
l THE PRICE READJUSTMENT
FURTHER reductions in prices have been announced here
and there during the past week and current reports for
index numbers show an accelerated fall abroad for the
tatest period, the "Statist" number having declined about 16
points during November. The domestic news regarding price
changes for the past week or more, while not so striking as for
merly, shows that in some lines, particularly in retail establish
ments, revision is proceeding. In consequence many articles
are now considerably below the level they occupied when we
entered the war, and in some instances have fallen to the level
of 1913. This latter is true of such important materials as rub
ber, copper and a variety of others. During the week also the
readjustment process has begun to make itself felt in wages, im
portant textile mills announcing a cut of 22 1-2 per cent, while
rther wage reductions are under consideration and will probably
take effect as soon as an understanding with labor can be obtain
ed. There is an increasing amount of evidence that the abler
iabor leaders, at least, recognize the impossibility of maintain
ing war conditions in wages at a time when war prices are fall
ing away. The readjustment in retail prices which is now be
ginning to make headway also gives good ground for the belief
that the readjustment process is reaching a much more ad
vanced stage and that it will accordingly be possible to resume
purchasing and manufacturing on a much larger scale in the
near future. Bankers and far-sighted observers generally are
hence advising the accumulation of materials at present prices
in order to reduce costs of production when demand revives.
