If It f A SUBJECT TO AROUSE ENTHUSIASM IN a very able editorial last week the Portland Telegram gave much information concerning the Umatilla rapids project and the great benefits that would follow in the wake of its - construction. The Portland press is generally favorable to the project and such interest is justified because the project is one of genuine state importance. In fact it may be truthfully claimed ,for the project that its development would !serve a need that is nation-wide in character. s .- , Here is why. The project, though its first purpose is irri gation, involves power development of such magnitude as to win attention from those who see danger in the growing scarcity of coal and oil and wish the situation relieved. . The railroads are great users of coal and oil. It is said that coal constitutes approximately 35 per cent of all freight carried by the rail roads. According to the same engineering authority almost a million cars are devoted to coal carrying and they carry 42 mil lion tons at one loading. Of all the coal mined in the Unifed States one fourth is used by the railroads themselves. The rail roads devote one third their total energy to hauling coal for their own use and annually pay out stupenduous sums for this class of fuel. The shipper of course pays the bill and the bur den ultimately falls upon the consuming public. The high cost of fuel is one reason why freight rates are high. In the case of the northwest railroads this use of coal repre sents an economic waste because our power streams may be made to provide sufficient electric energyito move all traffic. The Umatilla rr.pids project alone, if constructed, will provide k 120,000 continuui.s horsepower in addition to' a still larger amount of secondary powrer for use in pumping for irrigation purposes. With the project developed there would be no occa sion for the O. W. R. & N. system to use coal. There would be sufficient electric power to move every O.-W. train and still have abundant power left for other industrial and domestic uses. The roads would not only have cheaper power but better power and more economical operation. An electric locomotive does the wcrk of two or three steam locomotives. Where elec tricity is used in railroad operation track capacity is increased ,50 per cent, thus working to reduce the need of double track ing. - Through the fact the pdwer at Umatilla rapids goes unused we lose annually from five to 25 millions of dollars. This is a staggering sum and when this waste is considered the cost of building the project seemsv small. This region is being contin ually penalized because this natural resource is not put to work. .The whole Oregon-Washington country is penalized. So is the nation at large because every car of coal brought here for rail 'road operation or for use in an industry that could be electrified, represents coal taken away from some other region that needs it worse. The price of coal throughout the nation is needlessly elevated by this process and the consuming public of the natin pays the bill. We are using up an exhaustible' resource when there is an inexhaustible resource available that can be made to serve the purpose better. ' ' ' ' " ''.' The Portland Telegram and other" newspapers supporting the Umatilla rapids project are to be complimented on their vision. A northwest newspaper that cannot enthuse over the subject of hydro-electric development in the Columbia basin is not awake to one of the big things of this region and fails to understand one of the most pressing needs of the whole nation. THE ALLIES TURN TO THE LEAGUE THE inhabitants of Silesia had reached a deadlock on the question of the partition of the territory. If they were to settle it amon? themselves there was nothing to do but fight it out. Premiers Lloyd George and Briand, attempting to "arbitrate the differences, found themselves hampered by the national interests they represented and came likewise to a dead lock one so serious that it threatened to wreck the Entente There was but one sensible course to take and the allies have taken it in turning the problem over to the League of Nations, The league is the only disinterested spectator at the internation al tug-of-war. It was established to pass on just such matters s the kilesian tangle after everybody else in sight had been found too deeply involved in the case to remain unprejudiced All this has been obvious since the league first appeared oa the scene, but it will come as a profound shock, nevertheless, to the white house and the senate republicans who have been de claring in no uncertain terms that the League of Nations is dead, dead even as an issue, dead past all hope of resurrection. In the first crisis that shakes the basic understanding between Eng land and France those powers turn to it inevitably as the only impartial arbiter, the only insurance against the anarchy of self interest By a stroke of irony unparalleled in the world's greatest comedit's the decision was made under the very nose of Col Cforge Harvey, Mr. Harding's ambassador to the Court of St Jauiis, und bitterest of all leagua opponents. The wihte house can find in the allies' decision a very defjnit answer to its prop osition to destroy the league in orcer to establish an Association of Nations to save the face of the senators who defeated the i4a i rtRnt 7ms -L H1s! ' FOREST FIRE LOSS Germany Lost , 21,547,620 ' Acre3 in War J Trees Burn In .U. S. on Area 21j Larger, WASHINGTON. Aug. IS Telegram Washington Bureau.) Hecause of tin war, Germany lot about SI, 54", 520 acres of land exclusive of plebiscite This was undoubtedly a serious na tional misfortune to Germany. Tha rnited States during the period 1916- mn, inclusive burned up 56,488. 3l? acres ef our forested area over two and a half times as much as Ger many's entire loss an area greater than New York and Pennsylvania combined, or Minnesota, Kansas, Ida ho or I'tah. . While It is impossible to trace the origin of all forest fires, the record? of the forest service of the United States department of agriculture show that a large number originated through the carelessness of happy-go- lucky tourists. The forest service is anxious to encourage the use of the national forests as recreation grounds. It co-operates with plans for .hulki ng fine roads through the Jorests and establishes numerous free camping grounds where shelter, water and fire wood may be obtained. " Many VWt Camps. Many of these camps are located on mam automobile highways and are easily- reached. Some states provide tourist guide maps to the forests and camp sites. About 5,00u,000 people, it is estimated, use the forests each year during the vacation season. At Eagle Crek camp grounds on the Columbia River highway in the Oregon national forest 132,000 tour ists registered last year! Some of the campers; however, do not seem to appreciate the pleasures and privileges afforded to the tcnirllig public. They disfigure tho scenery with rubbish and filth, they disregard game laws and pollute streams, but heir worst and most frequently re curring offense, according to forest fficers, is the starting of destructive forest fires by carelessness either with camp fires or with smoking.. A lighted cigarette thrown Into dry leaves or needles may start a fire that will spread for miles. A camp fire not fully extinguished 'may be the means of destroying valuable timber which has taken hundreds of years to reach maturity. The reports of forest rangers are filled with drama tic accounts of the work Involved in controlling such fires and also In de tecting and bringing the culprit be fore a judge after following the very slight clews obtained In a deserted camp site. Sometimes an old bottle or a pocket handkerchief will reveal the original possessor ' who did not put out his fire. Sometimes a par ticular make of automobile tire can be traced for miles and the careless camper brought to justice. ' ftamage Can't He nostorcd No fines, however, on the part of the local magistrate will restore the burned area. While forest rangers are vigilant and alert to catch care lessness nnd prevent incipient fires, the real need; the foresters say,' is for the development of more' concience on the part of the' public which uses the national forests, it is greatly de sired by the forest service that all the 147 national forests; from the Atlan tic to the Pacific and' from Gulf to border, be used and enjoyed to the rfiitlest extent by a many people as possible. This involves universal ad option of the slogan, "Be sure your fire is out."

H. Meyer, 412 South Orange St, Orange, California. U is quite true that such troubles as Mrs. Meyer had may reach a stage where an operation is the only resource. On the other hand, a great many women have been restored to health by Lydia El Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. m .. v v .'. ' .&' " 'V'' 'fjwM v ,', , NM V '' .. .- 'Vff V.
