Ciuost.) UMATII LA COUNTY'S WISHES SHOULD BE RESPECTED TF the Portland chamber of commerce would devote moro time to study of and promotion of the Umatilla rapids pro- ject and less; time to exploitation of the Kold brick scheme generally called the Wallula cutolt the state or Uregon woniu te the gainer and more amicable relations would exist between the Rose City and the people of Umatilla and neighboring coun ties. V This is no complaint on what the Portland chamber has done in behalf of the Umatilla rapids project. A commendable degree of cooperation has been given though that attitude may be credited mostly to the personal work of Whitney L. Boise. It ia safe' to say that the rank and file of chamber members in Port land are not awake as to the opportunities open in connection with the project. For that matter the average Portlander prob ably does not know what the Wallula cutoff means. If he un derstands the matter he would insist that the Portland chamber forego further endeavors on the subject. fhe Wallula cutoff proposal is very offensive to Umatilla county people. First because they know it would be a waste of.good money. The 15 or 20 miles the cutoff would save on a trip from Spokane or Northern Idaho to Portland would mean nothing, particularly so when it is considered that the present paved highway is through a rich and interesting farming coun try whereas the cutoff would bo through an unoccupied waste region. Secondly, it is a very nervy proposal to expect local people to sanction the use of state money, raised partly in this county, on a road that would injure the county when they are not able to get sufficient funds for use on roads that will help the county. It is likewise a source of offense that anyone in Portland should 'assume to know more about Umatilla county's road problem 'than do the people who live here, who pay the taxes and who use the roads. The people of this region are not trying to dictate 'regarding road construction work in Multnomah county and they are withiji their rights in asserting that the wishes of the 'people of Umatilla county be respected when it comes to road work in Umatilla county. They are not using this prerogative 'to block any move that would be for (he benefit of the state. In 'opposing the Wallula cutoff they oppose the use of state funds oh a road that is being promoted for private reasons rather than for the public good. An investigation will bear out this conten tion and will show that Umatilla county's position is ccrreci. and justified. ! OUR PROFESSIONAL MENDICANTS ;o TO ItfH (Portland Oresouian.) The Portland Federation of Church es, in designating October 1 as Oo-to-rhurch Sunday, brings to bear the fact that of 1'nrtland'H population no fewer than loo.oinj persons are unclaimed by any relitrious oruanixation. Obviously; these fill not Often littun.l rhnrl. f...;' - - 1 e as obviously there is in such a circum-1 stance nothing whatever for the city! j to plume itself about. Not all of these J perhaps, echo that despairing crv ofi j the unbeliever, "j am alien. I am alien 'i to the faith my mother taught me." Hut all of them are, nevertheless, alien to a phase of community life that we could not, and would not, dispense with. A movement that has for its pur pose an increased church attendance is richly deserving of every assist ance, individual or official. It is con ceded that the churches hold, as they have hold, the fortifications of moral and religious faith, and their direct ( and indirect service is beyond all com- x putation. The citizen who does notji Bo to church, if he be well informed,' will ungrudgingly admit this truth,' and lay his own generous tribute to esteem and confidence at the thresh old. For a variety of reasons, largely in the category of trival pleasure and selfish Inclination, he delegates to oth ers the responsibility of expressing ap proval in its only concrete and bene ficial form that of attendance. Yet a personal duty is not to be shirked, nor performed by provy. Who will gainsay, either from the standpoint of religious' belief or from another of citizenship, that it is the duty of the good citizen to manifest his ap proval definitely and in person? In tht modern sense, and wholly without K.-icrifii'e of religious tenets, the churches are more and more be coming tho forums of civic morality. There faith is linked with tho great event of the day, with the perplex ing problems of our social and eco nomic life, and by mofalistio analy sis the truth is made known. Those who believe that sermons hold noth ing for thorn, who agree that churches lire all well enough for others, uro los ing touch witli a vitality of unselfish progressive purposes that might well ipilcken I heir understanding. The principle and idea of io-to-Church Sunday are sound anil commendable. 1 A response) in keeping with this religi ous Idealism should be manifested by the people of roll land.

A Rreat barrier will booh lie spread around Southern California by publio and railroad officials to chock tho Influx of hoboes, box car itinerants, wander ers with radical inclinations tind criminals. The unusual steps to bo fallen by the officials will bo formulated at an early conf-'tenco to bo called by Chief of I'olico Chillies A. Jones, of lis Angeles. Jtopresenlallves of the district at torney's office, railroad special agents, pollen and public officials of cities and towns throughout Southern Cali fornia and agents of the government, will be reciucsted by Chief Jones to gather and outline a plan to halt a flow of idlers reported en route to this section. According to Jones, the migration of hoboes and other undesirables has started unusually early, and from re ports received by the pollco executive an unprecedented situation will con front peace officer this fall. "To check the migration at once and spread word that Southern Cali fornia Is a poor place for undesirables to stop for the winter," said Jones, "1 shall urge that ruck-piles bo institut ed in every Southern California town and city and seek the co-operation of every official ir make this rcction the tin ning-back point for wanderers."

WEBB. 4 T the last mooting of the Progressive l'.usinoss Club a very L interesting subject came up for consideration that relat- ing to mendicants on the streets of Pendleton during the Round-Up and at other times. Here is a matter worth consider irig. It has several angles but perhaps the most important one is that the majority of men who beg for alms on our streets are professionals. Often they havev bank accounts and the hard ships they face are not what people are led to believe. At times some of these men have amassed comfortable fortunes find they have no moral right to impose upon people by begging 8 they do. These remarks apply of course to regular mendi cants and not to hungry and penniless men who may at times iisk for money with which to procure food. ' ' In cases where men are incapable of self-support tbev r.hould be cared for at public expense and not forced to beg. This brings up the subject of poor farm management in which field also there is room for improvement. Kach county in the state maintains a poor farm. Usually the per capita mainten ance cost is high. It could be made lower ami at the same time better treatment be provided for the unfortunates if the various counties would pool their interests. If all the counties of Kast ern Oregon would cooperate in conducting one poor farm for the whole district the overhead expense could be reduced and the inmates would receive more satisfactory treatment. When Oswald West was governor of Oregon he suggested such a farm for the entire state, the expense to be borne proportionately by the counties. V In the meanwhile many people who are lacking in humani tarian instincts believe the city could very properly forbid reg- piar aims seekers irom operating on the streets, i Now that the world "serious" is over wo can look forward to.some real sport on the gridiron. Ordinarily this would be a "million dollar rain" but under present market conditions that promise may be subject to discount We already have one railroad strike, by the public, and do not need another by the employes. k Pull progressively fgr Pendleton.
