""""""" 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.

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. Respectfully submitted,
W. L. BOISE, Chairman.
