IVHRIIW COrTT OFFICIAL PAPFR LcsJ AMEJUCAN PRtSS ASSOCIATION The Way to Get It Is To Get It. (Pendleton East Orcgonun.) The Portland Telegram is carrying a series of excellent front page stor ies dealing with the importance of hvdro electric development in Ore gon. The following is from an article L. - . I ! II 11 .t . 1 - r ne:irv ,u. nazen in me CJltlon of .May 9: If Oregon is to progress and pros per in the future it must have cheap er power, and plenty of it. If its manufacturing institutions are to expand and new manufactur ing plants be added cheaper power must be made available. "If its agricultural, horticultural, livestock and dairying industries are to grow and develop cheaper power must be made available. "If its arid and semi-arid lands art to be fully reclaimed and made pro ductive cheaper power must be made available. "If Portland, Astoria, Marshfield, Tillamook and Newport are to forge ahead and become ports of the first magnitude cheaper power must be made available. "If Bend, La Grande, Baker, Pen dleton. The Dalles, Oregon City, Sa lem, Albany, Eugene, Roseburg, Medford, Klamath Falls and the oth er towns of the state are to achieve prosperity in full measure cheaper power must be made available." All that is true and then some. No sane man can deny the vast benefits that would result from using the lat ent hydro electric power in the Ore gon country. What we need is a line of proced ure that will put us in line for results. The people of this region and of neighboring territory in WashinMnn think they have the answer in the Umatilla rapids project. This project has elements of merit that make it unsurpassed from the standpoint of feasibility. Some of ine aavantageous points about the project are: 1 It will overcome a serious ob struction to navigation on the Colum bia. 2 It w ill make possible the recla mation of a large body of land on each side of the river. 3 It will provide 120,000 contin uous horse power for industrial needs. (The power for irrigation pumping being provided by 200,000 additional horse power that may be developed during the high water sea son which corresponds with the ir rigation season.) 4 All the large cities of Oregon and Washington are within the trans mission radius of the project. 5 Because of the three ends to be served the project is ideal from the viewpoint of getting federal aid. 6 The cost of developing the pro ject will be comparatively light and the engineering problem appears to be simple. The view is held here that ll things considered the Umatilla rapids project is the logical enterprise with which to launch the program for oiumoia basin power development. Good headway has been madp tn. wards getting the rroieet hffnro thi public and the powers that be. A Dusmess-iike organization is in charge of affairs and now has en gineers busy preparing detailed data for submission where needed. The project has been endorsed to the fed eral water power board by the leg islatures of Oregon and Whinrrtnn The Oegon governor is authorized by iaw to present the case officially at Washington and a Washington state official has similar authority in that state, in oiher words we have back of this project a machine with the of ficial backing of the state of Ore gon and Washington. Before long we will be ready for atrion ana when the time comes to go over the top there should hp nn lagging. If the Portland press, the press ot Washington and the various organizations of the two states work together we will win out. We will transform a desire into results. Re sults are what we need and we will not get results until we go forward with a tangible and definite object ive. Put over one good project and the rest will follow. The way to get hydro-electric de velopment is to get it. 1 lu I i Slat' Diary. By Ross Farquhar.

Whitch I did. solete German warships that were auarded to America in a treaty which Germanv signed. He savs: "If the Germans had taken battleships of ours and amused themselves by mak ing targets of them we should not feel highly of the performance." This gentleman of the pen forgets, however, that the American navv MAKES TARGETS OF ITS OWN OBSOLETE SHIPS ships on which American boys have fought for their country and which thry loved just as much as the Germans loved their alleged war ships. You w ill readily remember a par ticularly notable example of this. The U. S. battleship Texas was in the battle of Santiago, commanded by Captain Phillips, who said, as the Spaniards struggled in the water: "Don't cheer, boys; the poor fellows are dying!" The Texas became a back number in good time, and our navy took it down somewhere around Hampton Roads and shot it full of holes, as a target. Incidentally, they couldn't sink the gallant old Texas, and more recently she was made a target of our bombing airplanes. They, too, failed to sink her. The German warships are of no further use, except as bulks upon which to experiment. And if our navy can use vessels from which "Old Glory" has flown in battle, cer tainly there is no sentiment against placing to the same use warships that have flown the black flag of Emperor William. Lower Prices for 1 Shooting Up Old Ships One of the Nation's smartest ed itorial writers has given us a piece in his excellent paper in which he waxes very indignant because our navy airplanes are going to practice bombing by making targets of the ob- You Could See It Was A Fine Town "This must be a fine town, with a strong spirit of cooperation between it and the surrounding farms. I've never been there, but I'd like to go." This remark was prompted by a glance through the columns of one of the best country weekly newspa pers published in the United States, a paper which radiated progress, good will and prosperity, and un consciously has come to be the best advertising medium its community possesses. It is successful because it serves the community faithfully and reflects in each issue the life and wortoof the largest percentage of its readers. Service to the community cannot be accomplished by an editor alone, however. He needs the help of the farmer and his family in several ways. Among these are: By subscribing to the paper. By writing the editor or visiting the office occasionally with items of interest, intelligent criticism, or praise for good issues. This shows interest and lets the editor know that someone is watching. By advertising live stock, poultry, produce, land or purebred seeds. By placing orders for job printing, such as bill heads, letterheads, bus- ss cards, and public notices in the home printing office. By telling merchants and profes sional men when their advertise ments in the home paper are effect ive. By helping the editor to secure and keep live, accurate correspondents in each neighborhood in the community. ilk and Cream 11 I llill)lllillll!!!lllllllllllll!lllllllllU I I Commencing June 1, the j following prices for milk . 1 and cream will be in effect 1 at the E.

Much is to be said in behalf of the wool-growers' proposal for a Fed eral law compelling fabric to be la belled as to its content of "virgin wool," so as to give cloths made ex clusively of new wool a superior standing in the eyes of the purchas ers, thus tending to provide a larger market for new wool. Under exist ing trade practices, the expression "All Wool" means little, though in the minds of purchasers it seems to mean "new wool," while as a matter of fact an "all wool" fabric may con tain no new wool whatever but may A m juiiii Out of the Kitchen ITS easy to keep your kitchen neat and clean when you have a good oil cookstove.

S2 00 Per Year s I praJjEIINK what would happen if the Light and Pow er Company, which supplies your community with electricity suddenly ceased to operate I The motor-driven machinery in busy factories would come to a standstill. The many little power-driven contrivances which add to the convenience of your shop or home would be useless. Even the lights by which you work and play would be snuffed out. Yet the great service rendered by the Light and Pow er Company is too often forgotten. It has become so much a part of our everyday life that it is taken for grant ed. Only on the rare occasions when something goes wrong does the Light and Power Company receive even a passing thought; and that thought is perforce a damning one. In the light of actual facts, the Light and Power Com pany takes on an entirely different aspect. Its welfare and the welfare of the community as a whole are one and inseparable. The extent and character of the service it renders influences to a considerable degree the establish ment of-new industries. And the more widely that ser vice is used, the cleaner and brighter the community will become, for electrical power is clean power. Literary Digest.
