"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 Sunday School n Lesson u International Sunday School Iieston for February 28. 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, Vie Spirit of 1917 u B : tbHA-.k ik.lUfcl A4 11 tEMAQLY JOHN JOSEPH GAlNES,M.D 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.

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.

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.
