Associated Industries
Have Commissioners
Would
Cancel
Order Given to Idahoans.
The purchase or a car of corrugat
ed culverts tp be used, in the' work on
the county roads recently made by the
county commissioners and county
Judge is the cause for the Associated
Induslrles of Oregon com.ng out war
a protest against mis anegeu mm mi
Inatlon nnd asking that the county
court cancel their order for the cul
verts In favor of some Oregon manu
facturer. The Associated Industries
cite file fact that to prosper Oregon
manufacture must receive the sup
port of the people of the state; that
such support will provide employ
ment for many Idle men end women
and that other count es ". not pur
chafio suppliei elsewhere, when they
can be secured within the boundaries
of their own state. The county com
missioners and the county Judge on
the other hand, are of the opinion
that whenever they can save t00 or
$700 by purchasing supplies elsewhere
than In, the state they are duty bound
to do so. . ,
County Judge Schannep when ap
proached last evening ooneerntnff the
protest and request of the Associated
Industries of Oregon snld at f.rst that
there was no "county aide to the mat
ter." However, he qualified thnr state
ment by saying that ho fell that
when the county could purchase sup
plies outside of the state at a saving of
MOO to 700 It was their duty to do
so. He further declared that ttie As
sociated Industries was trying to force
the counties and municipalities to buy
"Oregon made" goods when they could
purchase these same goods elsewhere
nnd at cheaper prices. ''These so
called manufacturers buy the corrn-"
(rated Iron'outslde of the stute, rol
them Into culverts and call it a home
product." he paid. The culverts in
miestion were purchased at Boise.
Idaho, and are now in the process of
shipment.
The Associated Industries In the'r
letter to O. I Punning, county com
missioner of Stonfleld . say that, the
slate association of county commis
sioners at -their last meeting In Port
land decided to confine their purehis-
es to "Oregon mnde" products when

P IiO.f the standpoint or this re-
glon the coming visit by the new
secretary or the interior and a
large party of senators and congress
men win pe most fortunate. It will
give our people an opportunity to pre
sent detailed data bearing on the
Umatilla rapids project and above nil
to impress the visitors at first hand
with the magnificent benefits that will
e sure to result from this develop
fiirm. . i - .
The visit by the governmental nnr.
i.y is quite iiaeiy to constitute the cru
cmi HMt tor the power proiect. Th
officials will form an impression that
will be difficult to overcome. They
ni oe impressed with the project and
disposed to help it or they will be
axainsi it. Much is going to depend
upon the manner of presenting the
suojeet. n is a big affair and obvious.
ly It. should be handedwhh all the
aoihty and energy possible. The stake
is so big we cannot afford half way or
nan ncarteu measures. To develop
power at i matuia rapids will almost
work an industrial revolution In the
nonnwest. The project if carried out
would constitute the largest single
hydro electric development west of
Niagara and the benefits to the tribu
tary territory would be so vast as to
dagger one's imagination. Every
man, womun and child in the Columbia
oas.n would profit by the work and
Umatilla county would be an especial
ueneueary. .
It is fortunate that tne enlargement
ana rejuvenation of our Commercial
Association is being brought about Just
now ine work of the association
mm me power sue association yo
hand in hand. We need a very" strong
; ommerctal organization because the
:uty of leadership in the hydro elec-
ti'io move has fallen upon Pendleton.
W"e cannot escape this duty nor do
we want to do so. The sentiment of
our people is to accept the re&ponsi-
Dinty and meet It in true Pendleton
fashion. Th a is the right course In
every respect. If we can put over
(his project we can accomplish much
for revived confidence and prosperity
in this section. ' Generate 320,000
electric horse power at our door and
the clouds' of industrial gloom will
vanish like a snowflake under a June
S'unshine. -
The. time is at hand to marshal our
forces for the most important work
we have ever undertaken. It is going
to fce a real battle but the goal Is so
-Teat the contest will be worth while.
The agencies through which local
people must work are the powerslte
association, headed by Judge G. !W.
Phelps, and Ihe Pendleton Commer
cial Association, which Is being very
efficiently organized with the aid of
a man who Is JusAy classed as the
best small city secretary (n the" north
west. The businessman or farmer who
faiisi to put his influence behind one or
both of these organisations will miss
out on one of the greatest chabces for
self help fver presented in this terri
tory. B
