Guest.) THE NORTHWEST'S GREATEST UNUSED ASSET it w ROM what I have seen this must be a state of immense M possibilities," is a statement credited to Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall, who is now in Oregon on his first visit. Secretary Fall is from the southwest, a land that is rich in the romance of development brought about by men of foresight and courage. It is to be hoped his sojourn in the northwest will be a stimulus to those who wish to see this re gion make use of the resources so abundantly at hand. This is in reality a land of "immense possibilities." The sec retary will see one of our greatest undeveloped resources when he sees the Columbia. It is the greatest potential hydro-electric power stream in the west. There are four or more favorable sites for the development of power on the river. The stream can be made to generate millions of horse power, sufficient in volume to move every train in the northwest, to conduct indus tries, irrigate vast acreages, heat and light homes and operate farm machinery. Not a bit of this power is now being devel oped. While the nation and the world face a shortage of coal fnd oil and continue to use up exhaustible resources at an alarm ing rate, we allow the Columbia and its tributary streams to flow idly to the sea. The situation is deserving of earnest thought by all and particularly by the head of the interior Uepartment. There is one Columbia river project that especially justifies attention from those representing the national government. The Uma tilla rapids project is primarily an irrigation enterprise. By de veloping power at Umatilla rapids, on the Columbia, several hundred thousand acres of land may be brought into a state of intensive cultivation. It is believed this region once irrigated will have a productive capacity equal to that of the Willamette valley. The project is declared to be the most feasible on the Columbia from an engineering standpoint. The cost of develop ment will be comparatively small and a three fold purpose can be accomplished irrigation, river navigation improvement and power development for industrial purposes, including railroad electrification. The federal power commission of which the secretary is a member, has been asked to investigate this project. The legislatures of the states of Oregon and Washington have memorialized the federal commission asking for such a survey. There is no project in the nation more worthy of attention. While in the northwest Secretary Fall should be told about this project and about the general subject of the power re sources of the Columbia basin. There is to be found our great est unused asset. INFORMATION NOT WANTED HE senate interstate commerce committee which has been I collecting evidence concerning the administration's pro posed railroad legislation, refused, for reasons undivulged, to hear W. G. McAdoo's testimony, says the New York World. "Mr. McAdoo happens to be the man who was director gen eral when the government took over the railroads from private control during the war, and if there is anybody in the country competent to say a word in regard to the condition of the prop erties when they came into government hands or to discuss from the government's standpoint the justice of their present damage claims, he is that person. The World has not- always agreed with Mr. McAdoo's railroad theories, but we are at a loss to see how a committee which professes to be looking for facts can jus tify the exclusion of a competent witness in the case it is inves tigating. Mr. McAdoo is a democrat, to be sure, and therefore more or less partisan ; but the majority which refused to hear him is composed of republicans and at least equally partisan." The committee closed its doors likewise against the repre sentatives of the railway brotherhoods. If it had passed a rule debarring all witnesses who knew anything about railroads it could ahrdly have made a higher record of partisan prejudice.

Being an American newspaperman is not quite i as bad as being a ' peasant in Russia. Hut being a peasant in Russia is not x half as nice as being a "peasant" in' America.. That's the version of Harry Lnch-1 terman, native of Poroshowa, state of I Podolia, Ukrainia, Russia, now an as- j sistant in the St. Louis bureau of the j International News Service. I Wilh his father and mother young Lachterman left Russia eight years: ago and came to St. Louis. The boy, nine years old at that time, was sent I to school here. He had a maiva for reading newspapers, he declares, and; decided he wanted to become a maker of newspapers. ; Cherishes Some KscaPudcs. Incidents of Russia's hardships are inscribed upon his brain, and he cher ishes some of his childhojd escapades back in Bar, I'krainia, where he re sided after reaching the age of five I years. j Foremost among his impressions is the memory of New York harbor on the day he arrived in America. 'The Statue of Liberty means more to me now than it did on the night 1 first saw it," he said. "It's lights are brighter from here now than they were from deckboard. It's a pity that all of Russia can't learn to know the freedom for which that statue sands." Leaving Russia and his boyhood friends was something akin to soldiers bidding their mothers good-by, Lach terman declares.

They do not believe what they read in their own newspn-. pers. for they know that the party In power has printed stories that are pure propaganda. Right now Russia is railed by a band of ruffians, who arc self-seekers for gain. "Coalitions are formed because the leaders must have some means of force. I believe Russia will know a regeneration for her sufferings.

"As an illustration of how tense is religious feeling in Russia," Lachter man states, an anti-Semite gathered a crowd of his followers about him on the public square and told them that the Jews had killed a Cossack for no reason at all. 'I witnessed the killing myself!' he cried. The Jews fell upon the Cossacks without warning and beat them. One of them is dead us revenge ourselves. Down with the Jews!'" '."Many Peasants Fled." "A tumult ran through the crowd. Many peasants took their wives and children and fled, fearing a massacre. A majority, however, remained. News of the impending massacre spread throughout the village. The Jews clos ed their stores, and schools were clos ed." There is something innately ambi tious about this Americanized Russian youth.
