SALIENT FACTS ABOUT THE UMATILLA RAPIDS
POWER PROJECT
t "
Flow of river per second feet double the flow per sec
ond feet at great Keokuk dam on Mississippi.
Most feasible power project on Columbia river because
of easy engineering task, light cost and immediate utiliza
tion of power for irrigation. ,
110,000 acres of land may be watered through use of
pumps directly connected with turbines.
558,000 acres of arid land susceptible of reclamation by '
pumping in vicinity of project.
Total estimated cost of power project, including darri
equipment, etc., $20,500,000.
Project would develop 120,00p continuous horse power
with 200,000 aditional horse power during irrigation sea-
son.
Cost of construction per horse power would be $75 for
continuous power and $57.50 for irrigation power.
Approximate cost of power project per acre of irrigated .
land, $59.
' Estimated annual productivity tributary land when ir
rigated, $30,000,000.
To see that the waters of the mighty Columbia are utilized
for development of hydro electric power at Umatilla rapids
v ith the aim of fostering irrigation, railroad electrification and
the production of vast electric power for local industrial and
domestic purposes is the purpose of a move launched under
auspicious circumstances at Umatilla yesterday afternoon. The
amount of enthusiasm and intelligent interest manifested sur-
! trt there I passed expectations. The Umatilla Rapids Power Assoc
a new navail tion was formed and plans for an ambitious program ere ten
tatively adopted. ".
The next big step will be a meeting of the Association in
Fendleton at 10 a. m. on February 5. For that meeting invita
tions are being extended to leading railroad officials of the
northwest, the governors and state engineers of Oregon and
Washington, legislators and prominent business and industrial
leaders. Wires were sent last evening requesting the attend
ance of many of these men, including Carl R. Gray, president
of the Union Pacific ; J. P. O'Brien, general manager of the Q.
W. R, & N.; W. F. Turner, president of the S. P. & S. ; George
T. Reid, assistant to the president of the Northern Pacific, and
H. B. Earling, vice president of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.

Enthusiasm Manifest
'Lay your plans slowly, but
when you have found out what
to do, work fast,' was the ad
monition of O. Stangeby, pres
ident of the Umatilla Commer
cial Club, in calling the meet
ing to order yesterday after
noon. The old school house at
Umatilla was filled with repre
sentative men from Umatillf
and Morrow counties and it
was evident from the start that
there was extreme interest in
the question at hand. P. C.
Brownell of Umatilla and Port
land, was chosen as temporary
chairman, and E. B. Aldrich,
editor of the East Oregonian, as
temporary secretary.
The engineering features of
the project were discussed by
H. A. Rands of Portland, an en
gineer connected with the
Portland Railway, Light &
Power Co., and who at one
time made a traffic PlirveV of
this section for the Portland

Mr. llands' discussion was

on reporis by government engi-;
ni-eis and by John H. Lewis, former:"

er painted the t'matilla rapids site as
the most favorable one on tho Colum

Bonneville the engineering problem Is
so sreat that the engineer who report
ed on that project refused to hazard
n estimate on the coat of the propos
ed dam at that point.
Sui-asM-s Keokuk Project.
Mr. Rands brought out the fact that
the flow of water per second feet at
the t'matilla rapids m double the flow
per second feet of the Mississippi at
the Keokuk dam. Ha read figures
showing SaS.OitO acrea as susceptible
of irrigation from pumping: In the ter
ritory adjacent to the power site and
on a basis of present returns from Ir
rigated lands said that the annual
crop production on the total area, if
all is irrigated, would amount to $30,
000.000.
Describing the efforts of Washing
ton and California towards promot
ing by hydro-electric development the
engineer classed tiregon as being like
Utile Hoy Blue, "fast asleep under the
haystack," while natural opportunities
go unused.

Other talks of particular interest
were made by Walter Hinkie of Echo,
