njany people eagerly hope for home making opportunities and
when so many peoples are hungry for the products of soil and
industry, every day that passes w ithout definite move to com
bine the reclamation, power and transportation features embod
ied in the large use of the Columbia is a day wasted."
VEt t?ese thins are frue there can be no denial. Vast bod
ies of land that may be wonderfully productive are going to
waste. That land should be reclaimed and added to the tax roll
of the state. That is one way to reduce taxation.
Our railroads complain of low dividends and seek increased
rates from the public so as to make a reasonable profit Yet these
roads consume valuable coal which they haul long distances
while the natural motive power of the northwest is going un
used. We would'like more industries in Eastern Oregon. We would
like to reduce fuel costs. It would be good business to safeguard
against the depletion of the oil supply and the increasing cost of
oil. It would be agreeable o heat homes by electricity and
cook with electricity. Such advantages are manifest.
Now the answer to each of these problems is largely bound
T j uues"n 01 cneap nydro-electric power. Through
abundant electric power sold on a low cost basis a vast acreage
may be irrigated by pumping water frpm the inexhaustible Co
lumbia; railroad costs may be reduced and freight rates in pro
portion, industries may be fostered and the cost of living re
duced. The possibilities of benefit from a real big electrical
project are so great as to stagger the imagination. It is a cer
tainty that the blessings would be more far reaching than can
be apprised at this time. These benefits' would reach all peo
ple in a very large section.
F ortunately, the opportunity to obtain this power is at hand
if we can but find the way to development. The Umatilla rap
ids power site is the third largest on the Columbia and in manv
respects is the most feasible project for early utilization. I I
will cost less than any of the other projects and arid land need
ing water lies close to the power site on both sides of the river.
There is basis for asking federal aid in order to reclaim this land
and for the further reason that power development would aid
navigation by eliminating two troublesome rapids on the upper
river.
It must be admitted the project is a big one and the cost
would be high. The preliminary survey estimated the cost of
developing 320,000 horse power at Umatilla rapids at $20,500,
000. There may be some who think the project so big that it is
not practical for present day discussion, but if you will note
vhat California, Idaho and Washington are doing you will think
differently. The state of Washington is vigorously agitating
the Columbia basin project which, it is said, will cost $300,000,
tOO and for which water ;vill be brought from as far away as
Idaho and Montana. Compared with the Columbia basin pro
ject the Umatilla rapids project seems like a very practical,
workaday scheme. Washington is taking the Columbia basin
project seriously and in some manner has secured $100,008 for
financing the move. They asked the president-elect to defer
naming a secretary of the interior until they could consult him
and he agreed to their request.
Can Oregon afford to sit by like a sluggard and let our sister
states obtain all the benefits of federal aid in development work
while we have projects which we regard as superior from a
standpoint of feasibility?
Ehhu Root is right about the disarmament subject and Sen
ator Borah is wrong. We want a let up on war preparations and
want it badly. But to be workable the disarmament plan must
le on a fair basis and apply to all nations, not merely to Eng
land. Japan and America. The logical thing now is to wait for
the Harding administration to take control and determine upon
its League of Nations attitude. There will be more confidence
in Harding leadership on this subject than in Borah leadership,
senator borah is too much of a demagogue to be trusted

One -of the blgsest screen produc
tions of the year will bo seen at the
Alta Theatre when Maurice Tourneur's
super special, "The Great Redeemer,'1
will be the feature of the bill for two
days, beginning Sunday. "The Great
Redeemer," it is announced, is a tre
mendous drama of absorbing human
Interest. According to the expecta
tions of its producers, it is destined to
be hailed as one of the really Impres
sive photodramas of the year.
Advance reports on "The Great Re
deemer" dwell with especial force upon
the unusual beauty of the production
from a pictorial standpoint, as well as
upon Its intensely dramatic theme ana
the tremendous moral message it car
ries to nil who view it.
Dan Malloy, as the story iroes, has
eluded a posse that pursues him after
he has held up a train, and takes
refuge in the home of a girl of the
mountains. The girl, startled by his
sudden and unannounced entrance
intiy her cabin, shoots, the bandiv,
wounding him slightly. Later, after
hearing his story and falling under the
spell of his dominating personality, she
begins to love him. "With Dan it has
lieen a case of love at first sight, and
he is soon contemplating the abandon
ment of his career as a bandit for a
fireside and respectability.
Temptation soon appears In the per
son of a former pal. who tips Dan off
to the fact that the limited can be held
up with ease if Dan will essay on
more fling at his old game. Dan suc
cumbs and attempts the hold-up, but

CORSICA NOW CLAIMS
COLUMBUS AS ITS SON
U. S. IS NO UTOPIA SAYS
GUESE NEVi
I-IBPON, Jan. 21. (A. P.) The
Portuguese newspapers have undertak
en a campaign to prevent continued
emigration of Portuguese citizens to
the United States and Brazil by point
ins out that more than 2,000,000
workers are idle and hundreds of
factories closed in the United States
and that the Portuguese are not wel-
oome in Brazil.
"Innumerable emigrants continue to
arrive in Lispon from all parts of the
country on their way to Brazil and
the I'nited States," says the Seculo.
"Jt is necepsary to stop this avalanche
and avoid this calamity, not only be
cause the hundreds that are leaving
this country are needed in the fields
and workshops but also because they
are going to suffer in a strange coun
try all manner of sorrow and mis
ery."
The same newspaper prints a letter
from a Portuguese workman in a New
Bedford. Mass., textile factory, who
sent a warning to his Tellow country
men not to go to that city. He said
that soon after he found employment
ho font for his wifo and children and
they told their farm in Portugal to
Piy for their transportation . aero ;s
the Atlantic. Then illness and the
closing of the factory reduced the
family to extreme misery and the
Portuguese now desires only to re
trrn to die In Portugal. He declares
that the Portuguese who remain In
fw Bedford, many are in abject
misery.
LONDON, Jan. 24. (I. P.) Not
tatisfied with Bonaparte, Corsica has
ontered the lists of claimants to trie
birthplace of Christopher Columbus.
C'alvi, in Corsica, claims that the dis
coverer completed his first successful
voyage in a house still standing in its
street
Italy, Spain, Portugal . and now
Fra.icc, via Corsica, claims Columbus
aa their own, -which moved a corres
pondent to remark that "although the
present generation will not see the
fifth centenary of the discovery of
America, it should be a splendid cele
bration, since so many European coun
tries now take a personal interest In
the discoverer." ,
Columbus himself Is said to have
stated that he was a Genoese, which,
however, adds point to Corsica's con
tention since the island at that time
l-elnnsred to Genoa.
