ORPHANS GIVE VIVID PORTRAYAL OF CHILDHOOD'S EMPTY BOWL IN SUFFERING NEAR EAST LANDS Sste.S Alt M '4 v fit ri'.'j J, 3iw ma In mute appeal for further Ameri can aid. which rescued them from Rturv&tion, five hundred boys at a Near East Relief orphanage in Syria, framed thia empty bowl to symbolize their need. All of these children have been feathered up during the past eipht yeara by American workers of the Near East Relief. Many of them were found in semi-wild state roaming the rough countryside of Turkey and were brought to more settled regions when the relief organization evacu ated that country after the Smyrna disaster. Approximately 35,000 children are now being cared for by the Near East Relief in its orphanages and under its supervision in private homes. More than one hundred thousand children are in the refugee camps who are in need of help now denied them by lack of funds. An international effort to focus at tention on the needs of childhood in the Near Eaitt Relief will be made on Golden Rule Sunday, December 6th. FIGHTING FOR THE NORTHWEST Florida Ire (Editorial in Pendleton East Ore gonian) If any project la worthy of con struction by the federal government in the near future the Umatilla rap ids project should be. There are fa vorable featurea that will count tre mendously in favor of settlers if the project is built. We have a low alti tude and a long growing season, which means much. On each side of the river there ia railroad already in operation. The rates are low because there is a water grade and the terri tory is competitive. Big markets are not far away and markets are neces sary to successful agriculture. Good crops are of little value if they can not be marketed successfully. The power feature of the project however, ia what gives it pre-emin ence. It is of wonderful advantage to a project to have electric power. The big federal projects that are meeting with the most success and have the least trouble are those that have power development along with irrigation. The Salt River project in Arizona is one of them. The sale of surplus power reduces reclamation costs, but that is not all of the story. When you provide cheap electricity for the home and the farm you do much to eliminate human hardship. When home is heated by electricity, the cooking done electrically and much of the work inside of the home and out you provide a situation that makes a higher order of civilization possible. People can succeed under such conditions when they could not succeed otherwise. A project with cheap power at hand becomes a liter al paradise compared with one having no power. It is no wonder then that the director of the reclamation ser vice thinks the rapids project may prove attractive. It is not surprising a furhter study is being made with particular attention to the economic features of the project. If a project of this character and its location is not attractive and feasible where could one go to find a project that Is worth building? Are we to build pro jects where the altitude is high, where transportation is Inadequate or wholly lacking and where there is no cheap electricity and then pass up the truly golden opportunity thnt pre sents itself along the Columbia? Another feature ajiout the rapids project that appeals strongly is that the land adjoins land already re claimed by the federal government. The pioneering work has been done. There is an experiment station at Hermiston that deals with soil and other problems and has mapped out a route for settlers to follow. There Is 20 years of experience back of that program. The settlers themselves through aid from the county agent and other experts have done much tuwards working out marketing pnb lems. Bankers and reclamation ..In cials have all learned what can be done and what ahould not be under taken. All thia experience, which is of tremendous importance, is at hand and available for the set'l'"' on the new land to be reclaimed. It means n effect the enlargement of an exist ing project, not the building of a new project with all the difficulties and grief that usually accompany new enterprises of this sort. A beautiful thing about the rapids project ia that the benefits will be so widespread. It is directly In line with the program for Tiver improve ment which must be followed out some day. Then the power supply is so great and the cost of power de velonment so low that the entire northwest comes Into thp gnme. It is not a local project at all. It is a tri-state affair. The inland empire country will gain immensely by hav ing this power development yet no more than will distant citiea like Portland, Seattle and Tacoma. The officials of Seattle see the Columbia river as their future big source of power and their vision is correct. The Columbia is the future big source of power for Portland also. Coulmbia river development will some day make Portland a great city. In connection with this project there Is no sectional conflict, no conflict with private lee- trie interests or with anything else, j It ia project from which all may gain. Now that the Columbia basin pro ject baa been officially classed as not suitable for present day development the situation calls for a united, deter mined effort in behalf of the Umatilla rapids project. This project is feas ible and there need be no delay. It is an impressive project and the offi cials who inquire into its merits ad mit its great possibilities. We can make a much stronger showing, how ever, if the powerful civic forces of the northwest really get back of the enterprise. The officials of the Uma tilla rapids association, working vol untarily for the public good and with no personal interests at stake, do all they can and they have succeeded quite well thus far. Yet they need help. They are battling for Oregon, and the entire northwest. They are fighting for what ia plainly the larg est and the most important construc tion project west of the Mississippi river. It is time for the people of the northwest to assert themselves earnestly if they are to rise to their responsibilities. NOTICE OF SALE OF ANIMALS.
