bo c-pJ of wool that has been
ucd and re-used so many times that
the fabric is not nearly so service
able as though it were more than
half cotton Yet the "all wool" label
sells it in spite of its inferiority, and
purchasers find to their cost that they
were fooled by (he label. The "vir

vertised before the public, would

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.

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.

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.

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

THE GAZETTE-TIMES, Your Home Paper. 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

Three Essentials of
Success-
Back of your success in money
matters are these three essentials:
A bank balance at your command
to accept opportunities for a larger
success.
A bank acquaintance which means
the co-operation of officers in your
plans, with the benefit of their time
and experience.
A bank credit, the result of your
bank balance and acquaintance,
places at your command additional
capital to carry out sound plans.
Build and maintain these three es
sentials at the First National Bank
of Heppner. Our officers are ready
to work with you and for you.
