IN A CLASS WITH IRRIGATION
SENATOR McNARY and other northwest senators and rep
resentative3 are taking the lead in drafting a bill under
which it is proposed to make $250,000,000 available fcr
rsciamation work in the west The initial draft of the measure
is not yet fully agreed upon and therefore its exact provisions
are not known.
For the sake of the northwest it is to he hoped the sponsors
of this measure are taking due note of the fact that in the Co
lumbia basin and perhaps in other sections the time ha3 arrived
when irrigation and hydro electric development must go hand in
hand. There are vast tracts of land in Oregon and Washingtpn
that can be most advantageously watered through pumping
from the Columbia. It is time to make use of this character of
reclamation work.
But that is not all of the story. Our waste resources are not
all confined to arid lands. The most flagrant waste in the.
Columbia river country is water power. It is needless to recite
lere the millions of horse power going unused and the millions
of dollars our people lose each year through failure to harness
this power while in the meantime the coal and oil supplies are
being depleted with consequent higher prices to industry and to
the consumer.
No present day reclamation policy will be adequate that does
not consider the economic necessity of more power development
and there should be particular encouragement for projects
where the two ends of power generation and irrigation may be
accomplished at one and the same time.
Private electric interests may not like to see this latent power
developed through national aid. But the government develop
ed irrigated lands in direct competition with privately owned
lands held by farmers and private irrigationists. ' If it was fair
to do that it is fair for yncle Sam to lend a hand on hydro elec
tric projects not feasible for private enterprise. That would not
necessarily mean governmental operation of power plants that
might be developed. It might be more practical to distribute
power through private corporations but if so electricity should
be sold at a fair profit above the cost of production. The peo
ple will not want a "dog in the manger" policy in regard to elec
tric power nor a policy of selling power for all that the traffic
will bear in competition with power generated from fuel.
It will be interesting to see what bearing the proposed Smith
McNary bill will have on projects where hydro-electric develop
ment is necessary to reclamation.

IT'S A TASK TD TAKE

IN A statement just issued by Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace appears the following:
"We now have stored up enough wool to last us a year
and a half or possibly two years. The prices for wool are far
below the cost of production. Notwithstanding this huge quan
tities of foreign wool are being brought in and added to our sur
plus, simply because we have the money to pay."
There is authority for the claim that two hundred million
pounds of wool have been imported since January 1. But this
wool is not being brought in as Mr. Wallace says, "simply be
cause we have the money to pay." It has been imported be
cause a high tariff act impends and the eastern manufacturers
are trying to get ahead of the game, even though they do not
need the wool. It is a paradox but the woolman. as far as thi.
year's business is concerned, Js going to be a victim of the No
vember election.
The police commissioner in New York has asked for a thou
sand deputies and a fund of $100,000 in order to make Gotham
dry; why not form a drainage district?
The public service commission will give a rehearing on the
telephone rate case; in the meantime we trust the commission
ers will read the Bell system's annual report.

PARIS, April 11. (I. P.) Just
how Madame Curie is going to brins
back to France the gramme of radium
that American women will present to
her and to the French Faculty of Sci
ences presents a' ticklish little problem.
If Sladame Curie, for example.
merely put the gramme of radium In
her pocket for the return trip, sever
al things might happen. First, she
might lose it. Secondly, some inter
national but unscientific pickpocket
might be tempted by the fact that it
is worth about two million francs.
Thirdly and worsely, if Madame Curie
were to bring the gramme of radium
home in her pocket, the things that
would happen to her Would mean a
greater loss to the scientific world
than aa rliough some clever
pinched the gramme.
Whilo Madame Curie probably
wouldn't die on the spot, nevertheless
the radio-activity of radium Is so
great and its effects upon the tissues
so startling that were Madame Curie
to show her appreciation of America's
gift by never parting with the prccloAis j
gramme certain death would ensue.
The burning and destruction of the
tissues that come from exposure to ra
dium do not manifest themselves at
once. The action of the radium is not
one the skin itself, but on the tissues
underneath. The sores engendered by
exposure to radium begin to show
themselves sohie two weeks afterward.
However, Madame Curie Is entirely
too wise to the eccentricities of ra
dium to allow herself to be trapped by
two close familiarity or even to en
danger sub epidermis of other passen
gers on the boat who will accompany
her and the gramme back from Xew
York.
In fact it has already been decided
that the mischievous little gramme of
radium will be split up into twelve or
fifteen smaller and less mischievous
parts.
Each one of these parts will be en
closed in a glass bulb and each bulb
enclosed in a nice little lead case of
about two inches in thickness lead
and platinum being nonconductors of
radio-activity.
The twelve or ' fifteen little lead
j cases Will then be stowed away In the
snip s saie ana 11 any enterprising
thief wants to monkey with the com
bination in order to get his fingers on
that two million francs worth of ra
dium why Madame Curie says he
will just have to take all the risks him.
self, both legally and scientifically.
And she has a very firm conviction
that tho scientific radio-activity ef
fcots on the thief will, render it quite
unnecessary for the law to Intervene
in the case

SAYS MII.K IS GOOD
Pendleton, Orel, April 11.
Editor East Cregonian:
In answer to the general statement
of a few days ago made in an edito
rial, I wish to make the following
statement. I feel that while Hie crit
icism may have been just for a certain
few, .'t was a little too general. I be
lieve that most of the distributors are
producing good milk.
As to the Clover Nook Dairy, I
wish to make perfectly clear that our
producer, namely P.amsdcll & Daves.
h. A. Gray and W. U Kellum. are re
liable people, who know the right
methods for producing clean milk and
are willing to observe tncm. We have
yet to hear of any complaint on ac
count of sediment in the milk as re
ferred to in the editorial. As to rich
ness, we do not hesitate to publish the
test of our milk which Is and has been
from 4.2 per cent to 4.8 per cent, the
state requirements being about 3.0
per cent. ' "
As to handling at the plant, we re
ceive the milk fresh ' every morning
and pasteurize it as soon us It comes
in. We do not depend on pasteuriz
ing to make good milk but we know
that milk will maintain Its freshness
and keep longer In the' home when
pasteurized. .
Test of cream, commercial, 20 to 22
per cent: whipping cream has been 30
per cent to 3 i per cent, nnd in tbe
summer must be 35 per cent.
