CLUB FAVOR DEVELOPING POWER AT
UMATILLA RAPIDS ON THE COLUMBIA
Plans Underway for Further
Meetings to Enlist Aid; Suc
cess of Scheme Would be
Making of Pendleton, Claim.
Hesolutlons favoring the develop,
nent of power at the I'matllla rapids
his power to be used for Irrigation
nd oilier purposes were adopted at a
meeting of the t'mutlllu Commercial
'lub last Friday evening, according to
word brought to the city yesterday by
. X". Hrownell. At the same time
immmvB pians were adopted fur one
nr more sulwequent meetings to n.
leld with the a m of enlisting' coope
atlon from a wider field. Announee
nenta on this point will be made later
after a Hpeclul committee that was
earned has had lime to work out plans.
"The lime is ripe for getting action
n this matter" says Mr. Hrownell.
'he war has hroadened people and
urovlded conditions under which we
may attempt bigger things In tho past.
The I matillH rapids offers the most
ovored site fur power development on
he Columbia; It is the lesser of the
Mg sites but It will be the cheapest to
develop and Is the most needed be.
a line of tho recli.mutlon work that
Jan Ix brought about through use of

m naturally c hiefly interested In Irrl-!
ration and believe It logical that water
hi pumped from the Columbia for all
'he low lying land along the river, on
lh sides. Hy doing this -we cun h:tv
he wuter of the I'matllla river for the
"ilgher lands and thus Irrigate a wide
urea. Development of the Columbia j
rapids power site will mean not only
the Irrigation of a great tract along
the Columbia but will make It pos
sible to water the lands In the Paradise
tnd Teei project. On top of that
heap power would mean Innumerable
smnll pumping projects all over thi
tecllon.
Would Make lVndlolon
'The harnessing of the Columbia"
at I matllla rapid would nenetu tnn
mtlre region and would be the making
if Pendleton. With abundant cheap
power Pendleton would secure Indus
tries not dreamed of now. It Is i
it range thing that this great wheat
raising country is now Importing
breakfast foods from the east. Provide
tbundant cheap power and I'niatllln
will como to the front as a manufac-
urlng region as well as for agriculture.
All the towns would profit, ea-.'h ac
cording to its position and the energy
hcn. 1
"Think bat a saving could be made
If power could bo developed a to
permit the use of electricity for heat-
ng and cooking purposes. Think
what a convenience this would be to
all. Develop Mils power and this re-
ion will become the home of the
highest quality of cltlrenship. Itir
move is one which we should make a
jitimou reuse."
Mr. Hrownell, Pam Doardman ann
others have been Interested for years
In the possibility of power production
at rmntllla rapids. They now feei
that the time 1 at hand for trying to
get practical steps underway.
