A REAL CHANCE FOR EMPIRE BUILDING T HAT the Lord helps those who help themselves is the successful man's motto and it is the spirit in which rep resentative citizens of Umatilla and Morrow "counties yesterday started upon the ambitious proposition of trying to I ring about the development of hydro electric power at Umatil la irapids. It is the spirit in which a meeting to be held at Pen dleton on February 5 is being staged. This movement is rapidly growing in strength and it will eventually succeed if the right work is done. This because the basic facts in the case justify success Preliminary surveys made by competent engineers not only rhow that the Umatilla rapids project is feasible but the facts show that from an engineering standpoint and from the stand point of present day usefulness the project is superior 10 all other Columbia river projects for early development. The great advantages possessed by the project are that the engineering task is simple, the cost comparatively jight and above all else the power is needed right now for the irrigation of a vast area of waste land. We have a ready answer to the question, "What are you going to do with the power?" We will use the power to reclaim the desert, thus increasing production and adding to the taxable property in Oregon and Washington. On top of that a vast amount of power will be available for rail road electrification when desired and there will be abundant power for industrial and domestic uses in the contiguous terri-J tory. That these facts are not generally known we must admit. They have not been fully known even to the people in this re gion. As one speaker expressed it yesterday Oregon, like Little Boy Elue has been "under the haystack fast asleep" while Washington, California and Idaho have been busy trying to make use of their natural resources. . " .However, the handicap is one that can be overcome aid it should be overcome. The first steps must necessarily be taken by the people of the immediate territory- If we of this section are indE'iirent to a great wealth producing agency at our very door, how can we expect others to ake note? In awakening interest in the project there is every reason to expect valuable help. The railroads are seriously interested, it is believed. The federal government should be interested not only because of the reclamation possibility but also because the project will overcome navigation obstacles on the upper river. The people on the Washington side have the same interest that we have and we may logically anticipate their support. It is needless to say that if power is developed at Umatilla rapids it will be the greatest industrial step ever undertaken in Eastern Oregon. In fact it will be the greatest power project in the northwest, if not in the entire west. The benefits will be be yond imagination. Now that the ball is started, let's keep it going. "Where there's a will there's a way." TOKYO, Jan. 27,--iDy Henry I Fan-ell, Culled Mate Muff Corres pondent.) While isolated quotation! from smHrhea of statesmen out of 01 lies may be primed occasionally t prove apparently belligerent feollni on the part of Japan toward the Uni ted p'mti's there can be no doubt but that the people at Japan do not wlsl war. Nor are they even vitally Inter ested In the Issues which are supposed to make lor war. This does not mead that it is nt all impossible to irrate and Insult Japanese national pride th-it Japan may feel driven into rt fight, preferring even to he beaten to accepting an insult without protest. Hut even though a few politicians nn- r.if us to make a case against the Gov ernment may be found in Japan who make statements which appear war like, it seems apparent that Instead 0.' interest and indignation against the United States in the matter of Japa nese immigration to the C S. increas ing, the public is beginning to Ure of the matter. ' Ae present the Government Is pit ting tight, desiring thut all matters connected with the California ques tion he let alone, at least until such time as some definite outcome of the present Washington negotiations is at hand. Tha Foreign Office merely lots it lie known that these negotiations are making satisfactory pregress. It is evident that It now feels that the matter has reacehd the point whore the State Department at .Washington must feel out the Senate to submit to that- body such provisions which have been agreed upon between Am bassador Shidehara and the officials of the State Department. If it is deem ed fairly certain that IheSenate will agree to these arrangements as prac tically settled. If, on the other hand, it is decided that there isa fair chance of the Senate's turning down the pro posal, it will not be submitted at all, lest Japan's pride be exposed to fur ther humiliation In the Senate. Keeping the public quite is, how ever, not anything nue as grtat a toss as it ' was a couplrf of months ago. The, Japanese are a volatile people. The great limitations of' the franchise of itself operate towards killing gen eral interest in matters political, and the newspepers which stirred up most of the row are seeking other subjects, only reverting to the California issue often enought to keep it from being forgotten entirely. to this I i c!V v . mm ' I-W .?.s 1 ...,wusf, in J!

On that point there was no room for serious argument, says the New York World. Tho Kontiii PAmmitt.ee. in a sDirit of accommodation, had rec ommended that f orey-eight new members be added, solely in order that, under trie new reapportionment, the representation of no state should be smaller than at present. Very wisely the house rejected its adviceand defeated a scheme that had been furthered by log-rolling methods. It was an unusual victory for common sense. , - Every ten years, after the completion of the census, congress has to meet the same situation. For its own good, this year the house has violated its own precedents. In 1911, as a compli ment to Champ Clark, so that Missouri should not lose a repre sentative, it increased the membership of the house from 386 n a? matimr allowance for the admission of New Mexico and Arizona as states. Progressively it had risen, in pace with the population of the United States, from 243 in 1860 to 293 in 1870, ;t32 in 1880 and. 357 in 1890.

' IN WAR-TORN FLWS BRUSSELS. Jan. ST.--SlowIyT" but surely, the battle-worn farms or r lan ders are coming into their own again. Government is offering special favor able terms for the leasing of land for agricultural purposes, with a view to helping in this branch of national re construction. Belgion farmers are an little'' men; there Is not a really big allotment in the kingdom. While it is true that there are spots, round about the Ysef ami (elsewhere, that will not be available for cultivation for years, scattered up ana oun rmiu ers, are numerous farmlets which a couple of years ago, were little else than shell-ploughed wastes and eeries of the carrion crow. i Quietlv but effectively the Belgian smallholder is coming tmcX to his farm: and the department of agricul ture is affording as much help 'as red tape Ind bueraucritcy will admit. There were no leased farms in Bel gium before the war. Every small holder owned his land outright. Un der the revived system of leasehold farms, the government nas insuiuieu special facilities to enable ruined far mers to rent land. These impoverish ed people could never after their heavy war losses, hope to buy their al lotment. These small agriculturists, who have to work terribly hard to get a livini out of Jhe ungrteful soil,, usually work a few acres on their own account, or. maybe, they are assisted by members of their family, and perhaps, in the busy season, by one or two, not more, hired hands. ' . ' With a determination to develop agriculture, the authorities subsidize a number of practical courses of train, ing in tne various Dranciu.s ui mmi work. Local agricultural ciuns ana farmers societies are chosen for carry ing out this task of -technical educa tion. Certified teachers in farming are paid for giving public lectures and demonstrations In agn and horti-cui-ture. The government colleges at Gemnloux and other places are excel lently organized. Apart from this iol- lego training, there are- also public : free lectures, to-whic heven the niim blest have easy access, and which are! often held on'Sunday or other '-'of!" days. If agriculture has revived with re markable strides, considering the de vastation wrought by the war, it is largely due to the fact that govern ment has recognised that farming is one of the national mainstays and, as such, must be developed by all avail able means. A second factor in the revival is the perseverance of tr Flemish peasant. ; Ho Is a success as a small-holder because he Is tenacious and is not easily disheartened by cli mate and soil.
