EUW nd j -- (Cf.pyricht. 1921, by Bdgnr A. Guest.) THE UMATILLA RAPIDS PROJECT IS "SITTING PRETTY" THE outstanding facts about the Umatilla rapids project as disclosed bv the Lewis report are that the project is bigger yet more feasible than we supposed and the chances for early action are bright, ihat is saying muen dui me circum- nnnn Mtink na fi-k incf l'-ft' rinfllTllcm Though the project calls for the ultimate development of half a million horse power the conditions are favorable to de velopment by units. The first unit suggested would call for but 50,000 horse power of primary power and 130,000 horse power for irrigation, the total cost of this project being $12,100,000. Now this secondary power could be used for watering land ad jacent to the power site and it would only be necessaiy to ar range for the use of the 50,000 horse power of primary power to make the project suitable for action by the reclamation service. In disposing of this primary power two courses would be t pen, one the direct marketing of this power by the government, the second the handling of the power through existing power companies. It has been strongly intimated that the power com panies would be glad to get this cheap power. There is every reason why they should want it for it would lower their average power cost and allow of a reduction in rates to the public. It would be strange if the companies did not eagerly grasp such an opportunity and should they show a contrary spirit it would be appropriate for the public service commissions of Oregon and Washington to inquire as to why a public utility should prefer to get power exclusively from expensive sources .when cheaper power might be had. Assuming that the primary power can be disposed of through enmiBeUnn with n annpr tinwpr line sprvinsr all rprrions in the northwest, and it is a reasonable assumption, our main fight is ever. It would then only be necessary to induce the reclamation service to take up the project. If the McNary irrigation meas ure passes this should not be a difficult task because there will then be money available and we will have a good project ready for work. Needless to say the Umatilla rapids project would loom strong under such a situation because it would mean much to both Oregon and Washington, from a power as well as from an irrigation standpoint. Senator McNary is chairman of the irrigation committee, is the author of the bill that promises to provide the money, the director of the reclamation service has already expressed his interest in the matter. The reclamation service has a project of this sort in Idaho now. The McNary ir rigation measure is regarded as likely to pass because it has the administration support and such a bill is called for by the republican and democratic platforms. To sum it up, the Umatilla rapids project is almost on he way and while there will be contingencis to meet it looks lit all can be met. The spotlight of interest just now is turned oh the electric companies and their managing heads. If these in t rests cooperate as it seems reasonable th"y should they will be in line to serve themselves as well as the public. If they take a "dog in the manger ' attitude they will delay the move but they v.'ill then have an aroiiied public to deal with and the threat of not only public development of power but public operation as veil. . They will be wise to choose the path of cooperation. A few months ago when this movement was undertaken at the February meeting in Pendleton and at the initial meeting at "Umatilla the project was nebulous and all thought we had a 'long road to travel. We now have a concrete proposition to work with and from all appearances we" are "sitting pretty." All this is very gratifying because it is unnecessary to dwell on the fact that this immediate region and the whole northwesst will profit greatly if the greatest hydro electric plant west of Niagara is constructed within 30 miles of Pendleton, There are people who hold that the money for financing the ,1925 exposition should be raised by subscription rather than by. taxation, but should the subscription plan be tried these same people would probably argue for a taxation plan.

PROBLEM OF FEEDING Problems of Distribution- of Food to Greet Workers Much as Belgium Relief in 1914. Staff by F. A. WRAT (International Xews Service Correspondent.) LOXDOX, Sept. 27. The great bat tle against the famine in Russia Is Just beginning. But, as was the case In Belgium in 1914, the preliminary struggle involves not 'so much a ques tion of supplies as of organization. Comparing .what happened in the ! early days in Belgium to the present situation in Russia may help to visu alize the work lying before the Ameri can Relief efforts. . In both Instances the relief workers were faced with a certain hostility; only In the present case they are not faced with a ruth leas army. T saw the first American ship con taining food enter the harbor r of Amsterdam on December 4, 1914. Its gallant commander had never left the seas around Nova Scotia before. But despite German submarines and mines, although entirely ignorant of tho difficulties of Atlantic transporta tion, he had safely brought his pre cious cargo into a neutral port. An anxious crowd of us, the first relief workers, awaited him. Through out the Saturday nisht and during the early hours of Sunday we scan ned the sea for the ship's approach. Despite the messages from London we began to doubt. Then at last tho ves sel hove in siirht and excitement grew to fever height. We kne .v that at least million refugees, who had fled un- welcomed into Holland, were at the point of starvation. We knew that at least twice as many Belgians, in their native villages ad joining the Dutch frontier, were in a like or worse predicament. . IMorpld American Officer It was 4 that afternoon when the ship cast anchor. By 5 o'clock we had three gangs of men working like demons at triple wages to unload her. By mid-day on Monday the irreator part of her food was placed on tho wharf. Wo had chartered a special train. After providing for the worst needs Of tho refugees into Holland our chief aim was to relieve the Belgians in the j luurnrmQnu uistnet, who were re ported to be literally on tfe verge of starvation. Kverything they pos sessed had been pillaged by the Invad ing armies. Captain Jackson, of the American Army, was in charge of the train. With a small section of helpers he speed on his journey with all the steam that a Dutch engine could make. It was when he found the Belgian fron tier, with German soldiers confront ing him, that the real trouble began. "Have you a permit to bring this food in here?" asked the commandant of the German troops. "The permit of humanity," answered Captain Jackson. "If you have no official permit then I shall seize the contents of the train," answered the commandant. Captain Jackson Jumped on the en gine and unfolded the Stars and Stripes. "Now seize them at your peril," was his reply. The commandant gave way. The train's precious burden was unloaded. Many people were saved from death and the supply of American food Into Belgium was initiated there and then. There were no workers on the spot sufficient in numbers to safeguard the food at the moment. Those present were only able to ensure tho proper organization of its arrival. It would take time for the requisite personnel to reach Belslum from America in those troubled times. Hoover to the Rescue Herbert Hoover saved the situation. H appealed to the American Rhodes ."'Uo.ais at Oxford University to abandon their vacations and devote ther:ise!V'i to the cause. They came as one man. But as they would be the' first to acknowledge, they were totally inex perienced and faced with circum stances about which they had never dreamed.

But at that moment they were faced by an unknown situation. ' It took them months of work amounting to slavery to put tho organization on its feet. .Meanwhile fresh workers were arriv ing from the United States. But w hile his was going on we In Rotterdam were faced with a new problem. Despite barbed wire and sentries. Belgians were escaping across the frontier in hordes that sometimes suggested a plague of lo custs. ; lut h Wary of Food Rins There never has been any love lost between the Dutch and Belgians. In this case the Belgians are certainly not welcome. All the food the Dutch possessed they wanted for themselves. They never intended" taking any, chances. , Todav the American Relief Admin istration in Russia Is faced with a similar problem but in this case the refuges and tho famine-stricken are numbered In millions Instead of thousands. The cry for food Is infinitely great er. The need for medical supplies and comforts'are mul'lplied a hundred fold. The situation is not one of deal ing with people suddenly thrust out of home and plenty, but of those who for three years huve not known what a s'luare meal has meant. American I'ace tlio .Toll .
