CAN IT BE DONE?
"TWENTY years of hard work was
entailed in gamine the united
support of the states of Oregon and
Washington and the federal gov
ernment for the completion of the
Umatilla-Wallula cut-off road. The
project was started in Washington
last year ' by the expenditure of
state of Washington and federal
highway funds on the promise of
the Oregon state highway commis
sion that it would rush the road to
completion on its side of the line;
also with federal assistance. Ap
parently everything was settled for
the full completion of the road as
an emergency measure to help re
lieve the unemployment situation
The economic importance of the
route was never questioned by any
informed, unbiased person. The
projected cut-off road would mean
a saving of 30 miles in distance be
tween Walla Walla and Umatilla
compared with the route which
must now be traveled, and more
than an hour's traveling time, as
hills and curves on the present
route make slow driving essential
to safety.
Construction of the road pre
viously was only held up by the
large cost occasioned by much
heavy rock work. But when fed
eral aid for the road was obtained,
lessening the cost to the states,
feasibility of construction was soon
established, and apparently every
thing had been set for finishing the
road this year.
When the long struggle to obtain
construction of the road had ap
parently reached a successful end,
a united public sentiment in its fa
vor had apparently been welded ex
cept for a single group of indi
viduals. Throughout the struggle
one provincial group, with the East
Oregonian, E. B. Aldrich, editor as
spokesman, yielded not one inch in
their struggle to prevent building
the road. Their reason was appar
ent. The present route from Wal
la Walla to Umatilla carries much
traffic through Pendleton that
would pass that city by in event
the cut-off road were built.
Opposition of the 'Pendletonians
was no less insistent after the Sno
qualmie pass road to Seattle had
been finished, and travelling time
lowered between eastern Washing
ton points and Seattle under that
required to reach Portland via Pen
dleton though Portland was imme
diately awakened to the importance
of completing the Wallula-Umatilla
cut-off in order to gain an advan
tage in travel time over Seattle. The
Pendletonians had not yet come to
realize that they were attempting

JESUS BAISES LAZARUS FROM
THE DEAD.
John 11:32-44
Rev. Samuel D. Price. D. D.
Human interest stories attract
usual attention and here is one that
is rich in thrills. The scenes are
laid in the region beyond Jordan
called Perea, where Jesus is in the
midst of an intensive ministry with
His disciples, and also in Bethany
just a few miles from Jerusalem,
where still exists the traditional
site of the home of Lazarus. Added
interest arises with the introduc
tion of the sisters, so familiar In
other scenes, Mary and Martha.
Announcement of the death of
Lazarus is brought by messenger to
Him while in Perea, possibly twen
ty miles distant Apparently lit
tle attention is paid at first Later
Jesus suggests that the company of
disciples go with Him to Bethany.
This would be a dangerous trip
owing to the announced opposition
of the Pharicees and it is interest
ing to note how Thomas Is eager
to go along, though it may mean
his own death.
Martha, the resourceful, meets
Jesus outside the town and Is com
forted in just telling Him all about
it Thankful should we be when
we have a real friend to whom we
can unburden our heart in time of
distress. Mary, who has tarried
with the hired mourners In the
home, is sent for, and together
the friends seek the place of sepul
chure. It Is right there that the
Man of Nazareth reveals his per
fect humanity, in that we have the
record "Jesus wept." No difficulty
is any problem to our Lord. Re
gardless of all circumstances when
He demanded "Lazarus, come
forth," the spirit came again to the
body and the brother was returned
to his sisters.
Abruptly we turn to the Golden
Text for the sublime truth, "X am
the resurrection and the life; he
that belleveth on me, though he
dies, yet shall he live." Death,
however, refers only to the body.
The spirit In man Is eternal, but it
will receive a resurrected body at
the Second Coming of Christ
to force natural laws.
And then Mr. Aldrich was named
to the Oregon state highway com
misssion. With absolute disregard
for the go-id faith of the former
commission in getting the cut-off
road started, and ignoring every in
terest in the road aside from that
of the selfish Pendleton group, he
obtained postponement of construc
tion of the road on a mere pretense.
He said the proposed survey
brought part of the road below the
water level of the proposed Uma
tilla Rapids project That is Mr.
Aldrich's stock argument. He had
used it over and over again when
it became necessaray to throw cold
water on agitation in favor of the
cut-off. And what a myth!
There is absolutely no assurance
that the Umatilla Rapids project
will ever be built At best it is
years in the future. President
Hoover and Secretary Wilbur have
spoken favorably of it with the pro
viso that it be built only at such
time as contracts for an amount of
electrical power sufficient to assure
amortization of the debt can be ob
tained. At present the entire state
is split into factions over develop
ment of the Columbia river and far
from united support is had for the
Umatilla Rapids project
The reason for Mr. Aldrich's ac
tion is so apparent that the cause
of the Umatilla Rapids is more
likely to be hurt than helped.
The question remains whether
one provincial group is big enough
to wag the state.
RELIEF FOR THE SMALL
FARMER.
Autocaster Service.
FARMERS who find themselves
short of cash or credit with
which to finance their 1932 crops
can borrow money under the Re
construction Finance Corporation
Act, which provides that fifty mil
lion dollars is made available thru
the Secretary of Agriculture for
crop-financing loans to farmers,
and much more than that will be
available if necessary.
These loans, Secretary Hyde an
nounces, will be on an average ba
sis and not more than $400 may be
borrowed by any one farmer. This
money must be used for the pur
chase of seed and the cultivation
and harvesting of crops, and loans
are to be secured by liens upon
growing crops,
We think this is a pretty good ar
rangement for two or three reas
ons. In the first place, it is cheap
financing for farmers, the interest
rate being only five and one-half
percent In the second place, it is
likely to result In teaching a good
many farmers how to use credit in
the same way a business man uses
it The kind of loans with which
farmers are most familiar are
mortgage loans on the security of
their land. And if farmers, gener
ally, take advantage of this pro
cess, it will distribute a large
amount of working money through
out all of the agricultural regions,
and every dollar so distributed will
contribute many times its own val
ue to the restoration of business
activity and the benefit of the com
munity in which it circulates.
We are sorry for the farmers of
Connecticut " and Pennsylvania,
where state law prohibits the giv
ing of liens upon crops. Farmers in
those states will not be able to take
advantage of this new line of cred
it We understand that local or
county agents are to be named for
the handling of applications for
loans under this new plan, but any
one interested can find out all
about it by writing-direct to the
Secretary of Agriculture at Wash
ington. STOCK MARKET GAMBLING.
Autocaster Service.
llfE THINK we are perfectly safe
in saying that the business de
pression has "scraped bottom" and
that the upswing has begun. It is
certain that there is a much great
er feeling of confidence among
manufacturers, business men and
bankers than there was a month
ago. The remedial legislation which
has been enacted at Washington
has already had a deep psycholog
ical effect upon the business and
financial world
The best proof that these ef
forts to put a stop to the process
of Inflation are regarded by men
who Know about such things
being effective, is the fact that men
and institutions of great wealth
who have been holding back their
funds waiting to be sure that the
bottom had been reached, are now
actively investing again. But on
the heels of these investors follows
army of speculative sharks,
whose activities may succeed in un
doing the beginnings of restored
confidence. These are the traders
who rush in whenever the shares
of any corporation show signs of
strength, and buy merely to sell
again as soon as they can make a
dollar or two profit.
The New York Stock Exchange
is an Important Institution, in that
it furnishes the only open market
into which anyone who wants to
buy or sell securities can go to
make his sales or purchases. But
a large part of the trading on the
Exchange Is pure gambling. These
gamblers care nothing about the
welfare of the nation; they seek
only to line their own pockets.
And it is too bad that whenever
there are encouraging signs of re
stored confidence that they should
come in and kill it by first running
the market up and then, when they
sell to take profits, putting it down
again.
We believe that these stock gam
blers have done more to retard the
resumption of normal business than
any other one influence. We hope
that the nation as a whole will not
continue to regard the day-to-day
fluctuations of security prices on
the Stock Exchange as reflecting
anything more than the operations
of gamblers, but we are afraid that
too many people think the nation's
prosperity Is dependent upon the
price of stocks, which have no more
relation to the actual values of the
properties behjnd them today, when
they are absurdly low, than they
had in 19Z, when they were rid
iculously too high,

SOME SIMPLE RULES.
A letter reached me from a friend
in the great state of Texas this
week, a good, warm-hearted mes
sage, breathing the generous spir
it of the south.
After his words of praise for my
humble effort, he just wondered
what would be good for an acid
stomach. He is a young man, very
diligent in his work on farm or
ranch; in fact I will wager that he
doesn't take time to properly mas
ticate his food, so keen was his de
sire to get back to the field. Here,
in part, is some of the advice I gave
him:
First, if a tobacco-chewer, cut
out chewing for a long time be
fore meals. Save the saliva for di
gestion; it neutralizes the excess of
acid; thats what it is there for
not to be spat out with tobacco
juice, leaving the acid to do its
harm.
Secsnd, keep the bowels moving
regularly with a good preparation
of magnesia. Then, take time to
eat to chew the food thoroughly.
Third, use "smooth," bland, soft-
cooked food. No hard, rough, irri
tating thing. I am converted to the
smooth diet; am rebelling most
earnestly against all harsh, coarse,
indigestible forms.
I urged the well-balanced diet
a portion of most all the good
things to eat no excess of any. A
good breakfast, a well-rounded din
ner at noon. A mild bit of refresh
ment for supper, when the body is
tired from the labor of the day.
The long night of rest fits the
stomach for a good, tonic break
fast again. These simple sugges
tions may be helpful to other work
ers who are not "sick," but simply
functioning wrong.
Many of the teachers of the
Heppner school faculty took advan
tage of the holiday on Washing-
tons birthday to visit out-of-town
points. A number went to Port
land, with five accompanying F. W.

Beekeepers to Get Data
From New Honey Survey
A survey to determine cost of
production of honey in Oregon,
long sought by the organized bee
keepers of the state, has now been
started under a cooperative ar
rangement between Oregon State
college and the U. S. department of
agriculture. The expense of the
survey is met from federal funds
and the field work is being carried
on jointly by specialists from the
new federal agricultural experiment
station in California and men from
the Oregon Experiment station.
The purpose of the survey is to
determine what methods are most
efficient in reducing cost of produc
tion so as to permit producers to
have a margin of profit even under
present low price levels. More than

W. C. T. U. NOTES.
HART A. NOTSON. Reporter.
The wets are making a system
atic attack upon the 18th amend
ment They are banking upon their
ability to deceive the twenty mil
lion young voters who have ar
rived at voting age since the
amendment was adopted and who
know nothing about the old licensed
saloon. If the people who believe
that prohibition is the best method
so far proposed for reducing the
use of alcoholic beverages sit down
and fold their hands and say, "Oh,
there is no danger; it takes three
fourths of the states to repeal the
18th amendment," they may awake
one of these bright mornings to
find that John Barleycorn is again
in control.
One of the assertions of the wets,
upon which they have rung all the
changes possible and upon which
they again and again repeat the
changes, is that "the 18th amend
ment is not and never has been the
will of the American people." They
assert that it was sneaked into the
constitution unawares. This Is an
unmitigated falsehood. More than
one hundred years ago the first na
tion-wide effort was made to oppose
the liquor traffic by a conference
of delegates from all parts of the
country held in Boston.
In 1851 Maine adopted the first
law embodying state prohibition.
Between that date and the opening
of the world war in 1817, 25 of the
48 states had adopted state-wide
prohibition. By this action, to
gether with local option, the saloon
had been outlawed in approximate
ly 2625 counties, leaving about 419
counties wet
The wet claim that the amend
ment was slipped into the consti
tution while the soldiers were over
seas is pure "bunk." The members
of congress who voted to submit
the amendment were all elected
prior to the time when we entered
the war, and mnay of them were
elected on that Issue. At no time
during the war was there more
than ten per cent of the voting
strength excluded by war-time nee
essity from voting, and at least half
of this ten per cent was from dry
states. Moreover, the amendment
was ratified by 46 out of the 48
states, being a higher percentage
than voted in favor of the original
constitution.
The Question as to whether the
18th amendment is now the will of
the people can not be settled by
opinions. The wets have a right to
test it out if they wish. The con
stitution provides the way to do
this. Let them proceed by that
method. Instead of following the
constitution, they are trying to put
over their program by the method
of nullification. Every honest op
ponent of prohibition, who claims
to be a good citizen,, should Insist
that the repeal be brought about by
legal methods. Let us be good citi
zens, and let us be honest in deal
ing with this question.
Wheat Market Firm
In Face of Inactivity
Wheat prices during the week re
fleeted a Arm quiet tone, in spite
of the dearth of new business, says
Portland Grain Exchange for week
ending February 20.
Most wheat traders are hesitant
about expressing any hope of
substantial Increase in values, due
to their having been disappointed
so many times during the last two
years. Most of these same traders
feel that prices at present levels
discount almost anything and it is
this waiting attitude that stifles
initiative and dulls markets.
Locally there was no business
with California and export business
continues far out of line. The con
dition of the growing crop is ex
cellent and there remains plenty
of old crop to fill any demand that
might arise between now and new
crop.
