""""""" New PtilnlH Developed Several new points of considerable Importance were developed during the tiit'cussions FVuurday. John HI Lewis brought to light new opportunities for industries if power can be provided. He dealt particularly with the develop ment of fertilizer making. An additional argument for appeal ing to the federal government for aid In connection with the project wassug vcMted by Speaker Louis E. Hean of the house of representatives. Speaker Pean emphasized the vast bodies of land Including forest reserves now un der federal control In Oregon. He estl nated that at least $2,000,000 annually i- lost to the state through the fact these immense bodies of land are not ubject to state taxation. Consequent ly he argued that the federal govern ment, holding th's land in reserve, fhould act In some way to compensate for th's loss. Mr. Hean had at one 'Ime proposed a measure In the legis 'Hture authorizing the state to use its credit for the development of water newer. Hence he was very friendly to the Cmatilla rap'ds project and prom- bed his support In every way possum-. Portland Itackn Move That Portland influences will be -trnnslv behind the project was prom ised by Whitney U Boise, official rep resentative of the Portland i. nam ner nf Commerce who acted as chairman of the resolution committee and made one of the most addresses or mo. aay. Itcsiilt.s on Milwaukee W. P. Warner, division rrcignt ami et of the Chicago, Mil waukee & St. Paul In Spokane, told the , vention of results attained on his road through electrification. The Mil waukee is electrified for a d'S'ance of 647 miles, uses 42 electric freight loco motives, IS passenger eleclrlo loco motives nnd awitcrerfs. These lneo- notlves displace 1(12 steam engines. h.i vistlv reducing labor costs and at the same time providing a cheaper, more constant ano rair.n - - of power. Mr. Warner said that cx ner'ence has shown that an electrified road oajerntes belter dnr'n cold and tpr"v wither thnn during normal weather whereas on a steam road a creat Ins in officinry occurs during bad weather. The Milwaukee has three sources of power and transmits elec- tricltv ns far as 190 miles.

FULL TEXT OF RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED SATURDAY Following la Ihe full text of the resolution adopted by the Cmatilla Rapids Power Site Association at lis convention Saturday. In addition to the formal resoluiona the convention by motion recommends that the Joseph bill, in the Oregon legislature be amended so as to include for the Cmatilla rapids site the name mention that Is made of the Celilo Pills site. ; Mr. Chairman, and Members of the Convention:- Your committee appointed to draft resolutions for the consideration of thb. body, has attended to its duly and heps report aa follows: Kesolved (1) That thia convention taUta thia means to compliment th H'ith congress of the United States upon the enactment of the Federal Watei Power Act, and to express the opinion that It will ultimately rank with the half cozen valuable meaaurea on the national statute books. I (2) That we, la a combined sense of patriotism and material duty, com mend, to the Federal Power Commission, created under that Act, the hydro electric project which ia the special subject of consideration here, namely, that at Cmatilla Itaplda on the Columbia Hiver, as worthy the immediate In estigation by that body with the purpose of ultimate governmen construe lon and operation, (3) That the basis of such recommendation is found in the patent fact that the project compassea all the factors included in the 2nd paragraph ot Section of said Act, which requires auch investigation, and submission by the commission of its findings and recommendat ons to congress. FKIKKAIi WOltK ASKED . (4) That In our belief the development ofi the Umatilla Rapida roject should be undertaken by the central government for the following reasons (a) It will eliminate the most serious obstacle to the free navigation of the Mid dle Columbia, (b) It will assure the irrigation of more than a half million acres of now arid lands located in an equible climate and on established lines of transportation in Immediate proximity to the proect, (c) It will furnish ebundant electric power for lighting and manufacturing in a wide expanse of country where now both light and power are difficult and expensive to obtain. d) It will serve with ease and economy for electrification purposes Import ant lines of railroad in the Northwest, (e) It is within a vast country tribu tary to several important cities, and many of them (including Portland, Ore Kon. Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane in Washington) fall within its transmission radius. (5) That, in our judgment, the construction of this project by the general fovernment will result not only in direct governmental benefits, but its im portance and profits will assure alike interest on the Investment, and earlj icturn on the principal invested. TWO STATICS AFI'FCTKn. (6) That because the Umatilla Papids lie between the states of Oregon and Washington, and because each .wrtl equally benefit from the establishment there of a federal hydro-electric plant, this convention urges that (he legis latures of these states now in sesnlon Immediately memorialize the Federal Power Commission to undertake without delay the investigation of this pro ject contemplated by said Federal Water Power Act under the sections of the Act which are applicable thereto. (7) That in realization of the benefita which aaid states will receive from the development of auch project, we recommend that their respective legisla tures enact auch legislation as will assure full cooperation between the federal government and the states in the prosecution of the necessary surveys and In vestigations. In this connection we endorse the Hydro-Electric Commission Pill now pending in the Oregon Legislature. And for the information of those citizens whose attention has not been hitherto called to the project under discussion we append the following facts: A. The Umatilla Rapids lie in the Columbia River about three miles above j the old river own, known as Umatilla Landing in the early steamboat days. B. They constitute in seasons of low water a serious obstacle to facile nnd safe navigation of the Middle Columbia. 35-lXHT DAM C. Engineers advise that canalization ot the river at that point will elimi nate the obstacle, and that such canalization will be an essential part of any feasible scheme of electrical development; that a 35 foot dam will develop at low water periods 120.000 horse power, and in sasons of high water 320,000 horse power; that through practical pumping systems driven by electric power large traces of land lying In Oregon and Washington can be irrigated, in all approximately 6511.000 acres; that the lines of the Oregon-Washington Rail road and Navigation Company, the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, and the Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railroad Company, (all of which are soon likely to be interested in electrification) run In (close proximity to this project; that the investigations hitherto made indicate a dam can be easily con-M-ucted below these rapids, and that tlrere is everywhere a solid rock bottom to assure safety and permanency; that the total expense, including canal, dam and power plant In normal times is estimated to approximate 25,000.000. IX Under modern systems of electrical transmission the territory natur ally to be served by this project, In power and light, would comprise the greater portions of Oregon and Washington, a territory imperial in expanse, and unrivaled in climate and undeveloped resources, probably as great, meas ured in square miles, as the combined states of New York and Pennsylvania. EX That the flow of the Columbia River at Umatilla Rapids is at low wa ter stage, about 40,000 second feet. We recommend that these resolutions, when adopted, be spFead upon the records or mis meeting; mat copies Engineer, President of the Sennte and Oregon, and to like officers in the State or Washington; and that the com bined delegations in congress from the two states be requested to present like copy to the Federal Water Power Commission, with request for immdiate fiction by that'body.
