THE UMATILLA RAPIDS PROJECT MORE FEASIBLE
IN view of the wide interest in the Columbia basin project
and the Umatilla rapids project the report by General Goe
thals upon the merits of the first named project are of much
interest. " n
Here is the eeneral's summary as given in his report upon the
Columbia basin project:
; HPMMAilY
1. Of over S.OOU.Ono acres of land embraced wlth'n the Coliimhla Pnsln, ly
ing between the Columbia nnd Bnnke ltlvern, 1,755,000 are irrigable by the
Tend O'Rellle gravity project and 1,403,000 by the Columbia rior pumping
project. g '
2. The gravity projecr provides water by gravity flow from the Tend
O'Kcillo river and Its tributaries above Newport, WiiHlilngton.
S, Th .pumping project provides water from the Columbia jlver. A pool
is, formed by a dam.-varying from !00 to 2Sli feet In height, with respective
effactive heads of 125 to 211 feet, ncrtss the gorge at the Columbia at the
hend of the Orand Couloe, from which water Is pumped by hydro-electric
unlta, each lifting 1000 second feet approximately 482'feet, or by direct con
nected unite of equal capacity lifting npprox imttely 450 feet, to tin artificial
lake, whence the water is carried to the land by gravity.
4, The estimated cost of the gravity project la 1214,1 70.351, or $145.56
per acre, ,
G. The construction is feasible nnd offers no unusual difficulties,
d. The, cost of operation and maintenance for theN gravity project is ohII-
mated at M41, 450 or $0.4 per acre per annum. '
7. Tha lowest estlmntod cost for the pumping project is $22,098,043, or
1159.01 pei" aire. Ttie difficulties attending th construction are 'unlisimf and
the pumps proposed have never been built, ' " r
8. The cost of operation and maintenance for the pumping project is esti
mated from $2,810,275 to $2,192,605 per annum, or from $1.86 to $1.51 per
acre, depending upon the height of dam adopted.
9. The gravity project is recommended for adoption, .,,:
10. It la recommended that the entire project he undertaken with a view
to completing it In its entirety rather than attcniplng it piecemeal or adopting
temporary r,iiHtructlnn. : . 1 , ' '.'..
11. The estimated time for completion Is six years.
11. Tho soils bf the Irrigable lands are fertile and abundant; being In all
respect similar to Yakima and Wenutchea valleys; large production will re
mit from water on tho lands. , i
.13. A great variety of wrops can be produced, and, due to the excellent
transportation facilities, can be carried to the markets of the world.
14. No apprehension need be felt about settlement of the lands uftcr water
hus been placed thereon, '
15. Alt things considered, the project is Justified from nn economic stand
point if the land can bo made ready for planting nt a coxt ranging from $200
to $275 per aero; nt the latter price a profitable return will be secured on the .
Investment. I
16. The project, becauso of tho benefits that will aefcure to the United j
8tates us a whole, is a national one and us such should be carried out by the '
federal govemmont through direct appropriation,
17,. Following the existing pulley of the government In its Irrigation pro
jects, the fnrmer or land holder should be taxed to nmnrtlze the cost of con
struotlon. The government should bear or absorb the Interest charge, wh'eh
will bo more than repaid through the Increase that will result to the natural
Wealth, nfloctlng industries und products of all kinds over the entire country.

ItlO DE JANEIRO (Hy Mail to the

business Is generally regarded by busi
iiciiH here as the busineiu in which tho
United Htutea ha. the least cause to
fejir European competition In lirazil.
It Is feared that several products of
Xoith American industry ure doomed
to disappear from the L'rnzillarf-mar
ket, being driven out by Kuropean ann
Japanese competition, but the North
American movie film is exoeetcd t
st.-iy.
However, Germany, " France ant!
Italy have absorbed a larue part ot
tho increasod ciiiemuto raph biisines
in Kraail. but the United States Is now
probably exporting mote films to Bra
zil that It did during the war. Thit
Is something unusual in prese.it Inter
national trade. ) ,
Despite the favorable conditions
however, Brazil has not been a good
market for all the North American
film companies that tried to do busi
ness here. Some of tho film exporters
have lost considerable money. Thej
fulled to understand Hralllnn psy
chology. '
On the other hand, a number of film
exporting companies have established
agencies. In many ltrazllliin - towns,
with headquarters usiiully in Itlo de
Janeiro. These compunies employed
experts who have calculated the busi
ness value of various North American
nrnductlons on the Brazilian market
Thev have found that Bill Hurt, Buck
Jones, Tom Mix, and others are vain
able dtawina cards, and have dlftcov
eroit ihut nrtizil'ans appreciate - the
smiles of Mary rickford, the uwkward
steps of Charlie Chaplin and the an
tics of Douglas Fairbanks.
The latest nbiilable statistics op
the movln ind istry here r.re for the
year i02O.' In that year Brazil was
thefuirth largest nun-Vet for Ameri
can films. There are only a few more
than 1,200 motion picture houses In
the whole country. This number m
movie houses Is "f course very sma4'
in relation to the size of the country,
but It shows nn Increase of 50 per cent
over the close of the war. '
There have been founded In U'o
) within the Inst three years mole man
half a dozen nvnwrines fletllng exclu
sively, with motion picture Interests.
The first real moving picture hniisi
was built 15 years ngo. Th" f!lnu
all came from Eu&npo. There were

But the Umatilla rapids project, which would reclaim land , throughout the state for the benefit .of
i
in Washington as well aa in Oregon, can be built for a compara
tively modest sum, $25,000,000., This project could be easily
cared for if the Smith-McNary bill passes congress and it coulf
be handled without absorbing the entire attention of the federal
government. Furthermore the cost per acre would bo lower
than on the Columbia basin project and the public would have
the benefit of a great electrical development.
Under the circumstances the logical thing will be for the
v states of Oregon and Washington to join in backing the LV
; tilla rapids project as the first unit, so as to speak, of the Co
f lumbin basin project. The suggestion has merit in that the
f project is feasible financially and also carries the element of
; fairness to this state. - Oregon people, knowing of great bodies
; of land needing water in this state, cannot be expected to sit
- passively by and see reclamation funds devoted exclusively to
: other commonwealths.
On a shipment of linoleum just received by a local furniture
house the freight from Snn Francisco to Portland was 56 1-2
cents per hundred, while from Portland to Pendleton, the
freight was $1.02 per hundred. In other words, the railroads
charged twice as much for the short haul as they did for the
long haul between San Francisco and Portland. Where is there
any consistency or fairness in such a rate system?

It ia charged that if congress persists in passing the little
navy bill" our sea force will be inferior to that of Japan and
less than half the strength of England on the sea ; that will be a
fine way to invite disaster. '
