The open season for grouse or natlvo pheasants in all sections ot me staio thva lit nn onen season, Is declar ed to be from August 20th to September 20th 01 each year, potn oaies inclusive, (East Oregonian.) News reports from Washington show that Secretary Fall is favorable to a federal investigation of the Columbia basin project in Washington. That is well for there should be such an investi gation. By the same token there should be an official federal investigation of the Umatilla rapids project. It is presumed such an investigation may be had with out legislation, but if it be necessary for congress to act then it would be extremely appropriate for the Oregon and Washington delegations to get busy in behalf of our great Columbia river project. If the Columbia basin project is wor thy of attention by the federal govern ment the Umatilla rapids project is dis tinctly worthy of consideration. Here are a few facts that show why. The Umatilla rapids project would re claim lands in both Oregon and Wash ington; the Columbia basin project is entirely a Washington affair. The Columbia basin project would re quire something like $260,000,000 for its construction; the Umatilla rapids pro ject can be built for (25,000,000 or one tenth the cost of the Washington pro ject. The per acre cost under the Columbia basin project is $145. The cost of irrigation under the Uma tilla rapids project ranges from $67.00 per acre up to $80.58 per acre with one tract of 14,600 acres on which the es timated per acre cost Is $109.75. In oth er words the main part of the land under the Umatilla rapids project may be reclaimed for less than half the per acre cost of reclamation under the Col umbia basin project. A total of 335,400 acres may be reclaimed by the Umatilla rapids project through pumping. But that is not all of the story. The Umatilla rapids project involves a very worth while improvement in navigation on the Columbia and the generation of 125,000 continuous horse power in addi tion to the secondary power needed for irrigation purposes. The primary power would be available for electrifying the O. W. R. & N. system and the North Bank road and for much more. The power would all be within the transmis sion radius of our principal northwest cities, large and small, therefore would be of extreme importance in developing the country industrially and socially. The proposed scheme for using this primary power is reasonable and fair. It is proposed to distribute this power through the existing power companies they selling it at prices fixed by official regulatory bodies. In this way the power companies would secure power they need and it would be had at a gen erating cost lower than it could be se cured by private capital. Instead of be ing in any way antagonistic to the pow er companies, the construction of the Umatilla rapids project would be a god send to such companies. The power companies use seven per cent money while the government can secure money at half that rate of interest. A private power project is subject to taxation while a government owned power plant would not be taxed. Some critics of the Umatilla rapids project raise the point that under a pumping project the annual mainten ance cost of irrigation would be high. But that is a difficulty easily solved. The irrigationists would make use of the power plant during a few months of the year while those using the primary power would make continuous use of the plant. Therefore it would be logical and possible to assess most of the over head cost of the project against the pri mary power. This could be done and we would still have a continuous power supply developed at a cost lower than any present power in the northwest. By this course the irrigationists could be required to meet only the usual main tenance cost and the whole northwest region would be the gainer by develop ment of the project. We have no quarrel with the Colum bia basin project for all wish success to that project, but the plain facts are that those who know the country and know practical irrigation conditions realize that as between the two projects the ar guments are ten to one in favor of the Umatilla rapids project. The cost of $145 per acre contemplated under the Columbia basin project is very high and $250,000,000 is a very large sum for the federal government to expend in any single state. The Umatilla rapids pro ject offers a scheme of benefit to two states and the cost as compared to the Columbia basin project would be negli gible. The country has heard much about the Columbia basin project and but lit tle of the Umatilla rapids project. The explanation is that the Columbia basin project enthusiasts have had a total of $167,000 for exploitation purposes and an additional $25,000 with which the Goethars report was secured. On the Umatilla rapids project the total promo tion expense thus far has been $1400. There has been no money with which to secure highly paid promotion experts or famous generals. But the Umatilla rapids project is rich in merit and a candid investigation will so disclose. The Portland chamber of commerce officials realize the situation fully and they are now working whole hcartedly with our project association to see that the Umntilla rapids project the Cin- derllla of western projects shall have place in the sun. It is right that Portland should be busy for the Uma tilla rapids project will be the opening step in utilization of the Columbia river and Portland's destiny is linked with the development of our great river. Not until the Columbia is harnessed can Portland become the great city it should be. When our power resources are de veloped the region of which Portland is the metropolis will become or.e of the great manufacturing districts of the world and the possibilities all around are so great as to stagger the imagina tion. Let the Northwest senators and repre sentatives give a little thought to the subject and they wiil discover that in supporting the Umatilla rapids project they will serve both Oregon and Wash ington and will be back of an enterprise that is practical at this time yet is so wonderful in scope that it would be a crime against nature and against hu manity not to give it first class consideration. Mrs. Wightman Dies on 78th Birthday Anniversary Writing from his old home at Dauph in, Penn under date of July 4, John J. Wlghtman sends the following account of the desth of his mother: At the close of the day, during which she celebrated her 78th birthday anni versary, Mrs. Jesse Wightman died sud denly Monday evening, June 26, at her home in Stony Creek valley. Born in Scotland, Mrs. Wightman came to this country at the age of 21. She resided at Shamokin until 80 years ago when she removed with her family to her late residence, a log farm house which was erected more than 100 years ago. The dwelling was one of the first built in Stony Creek valley. She is survived by four sons, Robert C. and J. J. Wightman of Heppner, Ore gon, and P. H. and W. T. Wightman of Dauphin, and three daughters, Miss Margaret Wightman of Fort Lapwai, Idaho; Miss Helen Wightman of Phila delphia and Agnei Wightman of Dauphin. Funeral services wera held on July 2, after the arrival of J. J. Wightman, who made the trip from Oregon to Pennsylvania in 4 days. Rev. Peter Hershey, pastor of the Dauphin Presby terian church, officiated and the burial was in the Dauphin cemetery. Mr. Wightman also stated in the let ter that he was leaving on the evening of the 4th for Philadelphia, New York and Boston and from there would re trace his steps for Oregon. He states that the country is beauti ful there and the crops look good, but the sun had no chance to shine long enough to allow them to cut their grain; it had rained every day since he arrived, and plenty of thunder three thunder storms in one day that killed eight cows in a radius of 2 miles. He says that it is too hot for John. Mr. Wightman left Heppner immediately upon receiving word of the death of his mother. HOMEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922. It ain't always necessary to use fig ures to use arithmetic. Here's a young roan all dressed up an' nowhere to go. Add temptation, weakness of character, desire for ease, opportunity for theft, assurance of security, fright at discov ery, an' the sura total is murderer. Wipe the whole business off the blackboard in the electric chair an' what have you left? nothin.' If jails were schools you could teach subtraction an' maybe get the sum total back to the young feilow ill by himself an' then by addition pro duce a healthy, beneficial citizen worth money to the finite and helpful to other young fools. Maybe schools are better than jails. What do you think? mm pi II CASH BUSES State Completes Applications of 14.665 ex-Soldiers Coenty Totals Listed.

Every year about the mid dle of May, while the snow still lies deep in the mountain passes, from 15 to 20 cars start the stren uous 360-mile run across the interior valleys and up the difficult mountain roads into the Yosemite Val ley. Every car is carefully groomed for victory, and driven by an expert. And in all the six runs so far held, all cars entered have used Red Crown gasoline ex clusively. This year the car making the run on the lowest consumption of fuel, a Chevrolet driven by Dom inick Basso, made the entire trip of 360 miles on 12 gallons of "Red Crown" (an average of 30 miles to the gallon), and a pint of Zerolene. The average gasoline consumption for all cars participating was phenomenally low, This furnishes striking evidence of the continued success of this company in manufacturing a motor-car fuel of the highest grade, justifying for six successive years the unanimous choice of automotive engineers eager to establish the best possible records for their cars. This year, 18 of the 20 cars entered made the An; riioranr on less than 20 eallons of "Red Crown," although owing to recent rains the roads were unusually difficult. Red Crown gasoline is the most economical mnfnr fnM nn the market today, because it con tains the maximum number of heat units that can be rapidly and uniformly vaporized in the modern carburetor and go into complete combustion in the cylinders, producing the maximum power the engine was designed to develop.
