PHNDLETON'H VIEW ON
CUT-OFF NARROW ONE
The editorial broadside of the E
O. berating the Portland Chamber of
Commerce in Its stand towards t In
(hnntllln -Wallula cut-off we shall
leave In the hands of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce for reply
Hut we must take issue upon tin
narrow basis the broad and publii
spirited eft) of Pendleton lakes on
this cut-olT. II Is the old "live-wlth
In" decadent spirit of an ossified
Oregon.
Willi the construction of a brldgi
at I'asco means the diverting of
West bound auto travel thru the
Yakima valley to Timet Sound With
the Uniatilla-Walliila cut-off con
structed means the diverting of two
thirds of this travel over the Col
umbia highway. It means a greater
travel to yon, Tendleton, if you
would but raise your sights.
We recently had occasion to drive
to Wulla Walla via Pendleton Wi
Bnd we I raveled forty miles out of
our way. The same applies to Spo
kane and Interior Washington points.
This cut-off gives direct connection
with the Yellowstone and evergreen
highways.
The states as Individuals are con
structing their highways. Is It not
asslnine not to link the two systems
at their nearest point? Is not the
government Interested from a mili
tary standpoint In this short connec
tion? And Pendleton, don't belittle your
self In Intimlnatlng that you will
knife the 1925 tax unless Portland
behaves herself You know you
have already laid your ground plans
In preparation for this 1925 fair.
You know it means an uplift for the
state In general. Do not plug an
artery that this Inflowing blood will
course through, when Oregon needs
blood transfusion to save her from
herself.
We like to see and think of Pen
dleton as the big broad progressive
city that vou are. Hut when you
fear the rut off will cut-off your sale
of Cheese and gas and vou do not
see the. vital need of this connection
to the state In general your broad
ness is narrowed to a glimmering
sin He big Pendleton. Be what
you real i are.

OUR GREATEST BALANCED
DRAWBRIDGE
IS ONE way It Is surprising and In
another It Isn't that In the most
unexpected of places one often will
find the- greatest of its kind. To
Illustrate, across the Chicago river,
which is not a nationally-known
stream, at Kith street, Chicago, one
Is a bit astonished to find a single
lift, counterbalanced bridge that Is
one of the marvels of engineering anil
the longest and greatest structure of
the kind in the world.
At l his point an exceedingly heavy
truffle Interchange takes place between
several large railroad systems and,
at the same time, the traffic on thl
busy little river Li such that the con
tlnuous How of the rail traffic is fre
quently Interrupted by the passing of
ships.
This condition necessarily called for
a structure which could be opened and
losed In the minimum of time and
was, at the same time, suitable to
accommodate the traffic conditions.
The river Is bridged by one enor
mous span, about 360 feet long, which.
Standing on end. Is as high us ii 1'
story building and weighs npproxl
niately 8,800 tons. One end Is station
ary, the other Is raised and lowered
by electric power only 1 minutes
being required to open or close the
spnn.
The bridge Is single span, carries n
double track, successfully meets the
peculiar requirements Imposed upon
It and cost upward of SfsOOOOO.
MONEY ASKED FOR
WESTERN PROJECTS
Washington. D. C. As a means of
giving employment to 18,000 workers
his winter the United StatPs reclame
llOO service has recommended to the
public works committee of the presi
lent's Unemployment conference that
congress be called upon to appropriate
'.16,160,000 for speeding up work on
ii Irrigation projects in the west.
Representative Smith of Idaho In
traduced a bill in the house appro
printing $20,000,000 for immediate con
itructlon work on western reclamation
projects us recommended by the re
i 'Initiation service to the president'
unemployment conference.
Or this amount $7,800,000 would go
to projects In Oregon, Washington
and Idaho.

tal than for any other month so far this
year. Building permits also for the
month were nearly a million dollars
in excess of the same month last year.
September also was a record month in
Portland s shipping and wheat exports,
for the exports were 150 per cent
greater than for the same month last
year.
New business in the lumber Industry
of the Pacific northwest was 25 per
cent above production and 20 per cent
above shipments for the week ending
October 8, according to the weekly
lumber review of the West CoasfeLum
bermen's association. This exception
al demand was characterized by the
report as the second active selling
week in nearly two years and was de
clared to be largely due to dealers
buying to fill short retail stocks and
wholesalers speculating on poorly
balanced mill stocks.

cision allaying fears which may be
entertained by bond houses as to the

cent state aid bill, or bonus act,

Portland post of the American Legion,
filed a friendly injunction suit in the
Multnomah county circuit court
against state officials and the veterans'
state aid commission. The action pur
ports to be brought by Boyd as a tax
payer "in his own behalf and in be
half of all. persons similarly situated,"
and names as defendants the governor,
secretary of state, state treasurer,
state tax commissioner and Adjutant
General White, Arthur C. Spencer and
Lyman G. Rice of the commission. The
attack is made on a purely technical
point of legislative procedure in the
adoption of the measure providing
bonus and loan for ex-service men. The
suit will be put through the local cir
cuit court unit the state supreme court
so as no: to delay the sale of bonda
unnecessarily.
