The dam could properly be con structed by the government, for either navigation purposes under river and harbor appropriation or tc store water for irrigation by the a lamation bureau, while a license t develop power at the dam could be granted by the federal waterpower commission either to the cities and organized irrigation districts inter ested or to a private corporation. The latter would be required to operate locks free of cost to the government but the commission may recommend to congress that the government par ticipate in the cost of construction. Provision is also made for construe tion of any project by the United States itself. In view of the benefits to accrue both to navigation and irrigation, congress could properly be asked to appropriate both river and harbor funds and reclamation funds. Ore gon has a good moral claim, for it has contributed over $6,500,000 more than it has received, while some states have received several times the sums they contributed. The Wa terpower commission is authorized to make preliminary investigations of anv region or any project and "to co operate with the executive depart ments and other agencies of state or national governments" in so doing. It has not been given funds for such work, and congress should be urged to provide them at this session. While the estimated cost, $25,000, 0X), seems great, it should not prove out or proportion to the threefold benefits which would result. It might not be justified for either navigation or irrigation or power alone, but. when apportioned among all three, n might be financially practicable. Umatilla rapids is the highest of three great power sites on the middle Columbia and is the least costly to develop. That at Bonneville would give 200,000 and that at The Dalles 4S0.OO0 continuous horsepower, but ea:h would cost two or three times as much as the Umatilla dam. Success of the latter might be expected to at tract capital to undertake the two larger projects. When they were completed, deep water with a slow current would extent as far up the river as Priest rapids. As a project to erect a power plant at that point is being financed, the navigable channel would soon extend beyond Wenat chee. A good begining is needed to de velop the immense power, naviga tion and irrigation possibilities of the Columbia river, and the enterprising people of the Umatilla district have the qualities to make it. They should have coperation of the states of Oregon and Washington and of the government. Oreuunian. I Hi Children to "Elect" a National Tree.
