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.

ST. LOOS, Aug. 2:'. 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.

It was there that I last looked at my
grandmother, who died during the
war. It was like a journey of death
when we loaded onto a two-wheeled
cart and started away, leaving all oar

village populace followed the wagon
down the road, bidding us farewell.
Many of our dearest friends were in

"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
