this sun: of joiu. ,
(By Frank U Stanton.)
Oh, the other side o' Jordan may be bright as bright can be.
But this here aide o Jordan's satisfactory to me.
The dreamy hills and valleys, the streams that sing to sea
But thia here side o' Jordan's satisfactory to me:
Old friend who love me friends I'm lovln' well;
Old dreams that haunt me jes' too sweet to tell:
Springtime and summer winter firesides bright,
Sun that makes the mornin', stars that blest the night!
Oh. the other side o' Jordan we must go the Jordan way;
Hut here's the hearty winter, an' here's the sweetest Hay;
An' whilst my soul is singin' of a brighter day to be,
Thia here aide o" Jordan's satisfactory to me!

LET US USE THE CHANCE GOD GAVE US
A T the annual meeting; of the Oregon state chamber of
JJL commerce, held in Portland, a resolution was passed, urg
ing steps towards surveys looking to the development of
more hydro electric power in Oregon.
A vision as to what may be occomplished along this line is
given in a story under the signature of Governor Olcott in the
Oregonian New Year's annual. The governor said :
"Perhaphs no other state can boast of such enormous unde
veloped water powers as can both eastern and western Oregon
lying idle waiting for the hand of man to transform thean into
vast productive hydro-electric enereies . Here i th ohit nA
tmple fuel of the future, going on forever and furnishing an in:
fAnausuuie suppiy 01 near, ngnt ana power. As the other fuel
possibilities wane these enormous hydro-electric possibilities will
be developed as a natural sequence, and as they develop they
will be a magnet to continue to attract more and more industries
to this coast and to this state."
, The facts justify the governor's viewpoint. Engineer's re
ports show that approximately one third the potential water
power of the United States lies in the Columbia basin. Those re
ports give estimates on the cost of developing individual projects
and offer suggestions as to how the electric power may be
used. As previously stated by this paper, a survey has been
maue snowing mat enormous electrical energy may be develop
ed at Umatilla rapids on the Columbia, and that this power may
be used among other purposes, for pumping water on arid lands
in Oregon and Washington. There are 150,000 acres on the
Oregon side subject to reclamation in this wav. The proposal of
lers unusuall opportunities from several standpoints, particular
ly because the Columbia is high during the irrigation season and
irrigation is not necessary during winter months when electric
ity is most needed for heating and lighting. In manv respects
the Umatilla rapids project is the mest logical one in the north
west for early action. It offers opportunity for development of
a vast body of power at low cost and there is a chance to use all
or most of this power immediately in constructive development
-ihe fact the power can be used for reclamation work provides
a basis for asking government aid in the event the scheme should
pot be found favorable for private enterprise.
Surely it is appropriate for the state chamber and for men
like the governor to call attention to Oregon's opportunities in
the field of hydro-electric development. Neglect of this sub
ject means neglect of the northwest's best bet.
most favored power sites is in Umatilla county the subject
fhould be one of particular interest to our people.

FROM FRYING PAN INTO THE FIRE
a Man named Elliot, 38 years of age, arrested in Portland
JJk for cashing three bad checks, makes the plea thaf he
- -committed the crime for the sake of his wife and three
children. He is probably a liar or a fool or some of each. He
certainly rendered no service to his wife and children by be
coming a felon. On the contrary he has disgraced them and
and very likely placed himself in a position where they will be
denied the benefit of a wage earner. Being smart enough to
write a check he should have been bright enough to know that
there is no money to be made in cashing fraudulent paper. That
profession is overdone and the easy trail the check forger leaves
makes this capture generally certain.
. Times may be hard for some people and this is regrettable,
but most anyone these days should know that turning criminal
offers no remedy. It only makes one's plight infinitely worse.
WAR HORSES VS. THE MERIT SYSTEM
THERE are news stories to the effect that Postmaster Jones
of Portland may not be confirmed by the senate. This
is of interest to Pendleton also from, the fact our own
postmaster is in the same category as Mr. Jones. Both Mr. Jones
and Mr. Cronin are republicans. They were promoted to their
present positions by appointments made on a basis of merit.. That
the tests were on the square may be assumed from the fact that
in each case experienced men were chosen and they were not of
the same political faith as the president What occurred in
Oregon doubtless happened elsewhere in cases where there were
vacancies to be filled. It was a forward move, a step away
from the spoils system and toward recognition of faithful, com
petent service in the government employ.
Is it possible our new administration which has talked so
much about business methods in government, about economy
and fficiency is going back to the old method of eh
payers by filling important postal positions with nolihVal war.
horses to draw the big salaries while their assistants and clerks
ao pe worK buch a move would be reaction unalloyed. The
Harding administration might be pardoned for rpmovino- -uitVi
or without camouflage, any postmaster appointed on a political
basiss but if it touches those named under the merit vtom
their action can be construed as nothing less than a breach of
iaun wun tnose m tne service.
