Co. 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.
