WE ARE GOING TO SHOW THEM THE KEY inter-story A)VOCATES of the Umatilla rapids project will be ested in the following; clipping from a New York Electrification of the railroads is today one of the big questions bearing 4'pon industrial progress. If electrification is feasible, as every one of the in stallations made to date indicates, it offers a means of realizing the economies necessary to overcome the oppressive and burdensome transportation situation vhich through excessive cost or service and inadequacy hinders industrial re adjustment and trade expansion. ' The use of electric locomotives will conserve the fuel supply, increase the practical speed of both freight and passenger trains, permit the handling of longer trains wfth correspondingly greater capacity and obviously, bring about certain car-mile economies and in general - expedite the operation of tialns. These advantages ere quite generally recognised and the use of ec tric locomotives has been gaining steadily in ttie favor of American railroad men and in the favor of the public, as well. The argument for electrification applies with particular force in the west and especially the northwest. We have the latent power in this region and while we let it go to waste the railroads haul in expensive coal from distant states. The problem is how to get our power developed. It is evi "dent that if we wait for the railroads to develop power through private capital and chiefly or solely for railroad use we will wait a long time. The roads do not have the money. Besides power is needed for other purposes aside from transportation i.nd it is scarcely fair to expect the railroads to carry the load alone. The Umatilla rapids project would be as valuable for irri gation as for railroad electrification. It would improve naviga tion on the Columbia. We cannot expect private capital to in dulge in river improvement. That is a governmental duty. Neith ef is it the habit for private capital to carry out big irrigation projects such as is contemplated in connection with the rapids project. The United States government has taken over recla mation work of this character. Then what could be more logical than for the government to act, either alone or through help of the states interested, to wards developing power on the Columbia? If it is to take such action where is there a project so admirable a3 the Umatilla rapids project with' which to start? The Umatilla rapids power site association is having an en gineering report prepared with a view to showing what can be done through development of power at this site. The data is not yet ready but facts so far ascertained are very pleasing and give promise that when the findings are all compiled we will have a splendid case to work with. It is an ambitious thing to say but there is sound reason for the belief that if the country will harken soon to the Umatilla rapids project . association it will find the key not only to one of the big transportation prob lems but also to the door that now hides the northwest's greatest unused natural asset. ' , A TARIFF FOR PLUNDER rrHE valuation clause of the Fordney bill imposes in effect a I tariff on the tariff. No more ingenious device for plunder- ine the consumer has ever found its way into legislation. By the terms of the bill the word "value" in the classification of merchandise "shall mean the price on the date of exportation of the imported merchandise at which comparable and eompeti tive products of the United States were ordinarily sold or freely 'Jliereu lOr Sale 111 Ulc usuai wiiujciic quanuuco in uic ,yi "".1- cal markets of the United States. Whenever, therefore, the beneficiaries of the Fordney tariff increase the wholesale prices of their products at home they will automatically Increase tne datv and add to the measure of protection that they receive. The higher the prices they can manage to charge, the higher the tar iff becomes by the simple process of making their prices the Da n's of valuation on imports. Thus the duties are pyramided and foreign competition against extortion becomes the more difficult the more that extortion is practiced. This is not a tariff for protection in any sense in which that term has hitherto lreen employed, even in the days of McKinley i.sm and Dingleyism. It is a straight-out tariff for plunder. The more plunder the more tariff. Mr. Fordnev's excuse for this provision is the rate of ex change. The effect of this provision is to take from the consum er all of the benefits that might come from the rate of exchange and confer them on the protected manufacturer, who for all "wraelical purposes will be able to fix the duties himself. There have been grave and shocking abuses in previous tariff hills but there was nothing that compared in iniquity with the valuation clause of the Fordney measure. Existing economic cir cumstances make the Fordney schedules indefensible for the most part, even, on the century-old basis of foreign valuation. When that is abandoned and the American selling price is made the basis of valuation, every household in the country is placed under tribute. As it stands, the Fordney tariff should be entitled "A bill to pnable favored industries to plunder the American people." Mew York World. geishas and statesmen are Theme of recent critisism by Former prime minister Object to Popular idea in Jap an of Setting a . . i s Destinies in a Machial. TOKIO, July 21 (By Duke X. rarry, In X. S. Staff Correspondent. ) Geishas and statesmen is the theme of a recent criticism of tlje public men of Japan by Marquis Okunia. sage of Waseda, Tokio. and a former Prime Minister. That the beautiful j charmers of the young men of Ja pan and of the tourists should not be publicly associated with the control-, lers of the Empire's destinies is the ( Doint made by Marquis Okunia. In a I haracteristically frank and breezy interview given recently in Tokio, the Marquis freely admits that he sower! his wild oats when a youth; he even goes so far as to condone the custom of having geisha entertainment. Hut he seriously objects to the now popu lar idea in Japan of setting a nation's i destinies in a machial (geisha restaurant). "I don't mind confessing that in my youth I sowed my wild oats," says the Marquis. "But I have more than once warned Prince Tamagata, the so- called secret ruler of Japan, that the discussion of affairs of state in geisha houses is wrong." T'Jiere is perhaps no nation in the world where politics and entertain ment are so necessarily mixed as are the politics and entertainment of Ja pan. Geisha entertainment, consist ing of the typical Japanese music and dancind and smart talk by brilliantlv dressed wung Japanese women is the j highest compliment that can be paid j a political figure for some political j prestige given. Foreign statesmen and new arrivals in Japan are fre quently given sumptuous geisha par ties, and these entertainments are al ways ranked as among the most dis-1 tinctively pleasant that a visitor to the Orient has. To maintain the old idea of the geisha house is, in 'the opinion of Marquis Okunia, quite the thing. But he deplores the meddling of the geisha in politics. , XeW Front' "In the former days," 'continued Marquis Okuma, "politics in Japan were discussed in clubs where women were not admitted. Today they are J discussed in the common geisha " i house. Yamagata, Ito, Terauchi and , '(their crowd, ail of them' bearing IMatlOn S names which are prominent in Japa nese history, used to indulge in .revel ries. I, therefore do not begrudge the present cabinet ministers their en joyment of the company of beautiful Japanese women. But the' statesman ship of Japan suffers when our con trolling statesmen advertise the fact ! S that they hold banquets anil discuss geisha Empire's affairs in house. j 1 REALTY TRANSFERS i . i ir.Kis .' y 1 Jink Jap Silk,- 30 irfches wide' for nightgowns and bloomers, ektra weight and quality, a desirable cloth for, the yard .

In a dance given at Mission by Misses Elsie Folsom and Maanah Switzler. Several went out in a stage coach from Pen dleton and others boarded the train. The hop occurred In Hamilton and Rourke's warehouse, which has a floor 200 by 50 feet in dimensions, as smooth as that of a ball room. Very pretty music was provided by an or chestra of three banjos, a guitar and mandolin, and the guests danced de lightedly until 11:30 o'clock, when re- j freshments were served.
