HERMISTON’S FUTURE
The future of our thriving little
city is practically assured.
Washington officials who visited
Hermiston last Saturday made favor
able comments regarding the future
development of the Um atilla project
after they had made a tour of in.
spection, visiting different parts of
the country adjacent to Hermiston.
•‘The Um atilla project is my first
project and I hold it dear," declared
Director Davis. He pictured the ul
tim ate development of the Um atilla
project, so that all lands to the west
might have enough water.
The distinguished party that vis
ited Hermiston Saturday, headed by
Director A. P. Davis of the reclama
tion service, are on a tour of Inspec
tion. The reports they make upon
their return to Washington w ill in
a large measure govern the nppro-
prlationg to be made for the future
development of reclaimed lands.
The men were impressed w ith the
U m atilla project. They saw the la t
ent possibilities of the country.
They saw arid lands that at pres
ent are barren and waste. A short
distance along the same road they
perceived fields of alfalfa in which
there nestled up-to-date homes that
hinted of happiness and prosperity.
I t demonstrated the productiveness
of the land when placed under
water.
The U m atilla project is no longer
an er-srlm ent. Its
growth
has
been steady and permanent.
The project is one of the greatest
alfalfa producing localities in the
west.
A day seldom passes but what we
do not receive letters from people
who live in the different parts of tin
south and northwest asking inform a
tion concerning this locality. Its
possibilities are diversified. For In
stance stock raising is a lender w tli
a good many of our farmers. Nearly
all of the farmers have pure bred
hogs, cattle and sheep. The stock
raised upon the project have been
exhibited at the state fa ir and the
Pacific International Exposition. In
every Instance the stock sent from
the U m atilla project have received a
high rating over competitive entries.
Honey is one of -our leading in
dustries. U m atilla is the leading
honey county in the state and nearly
all of the honey produced in this
county is produced on the irrigated
land. The alfalfa bloom furnish th<
bees w ith the necessary Ingredients.

Dr. Ales Hrdllcka, the American eth
nologlst, contributes to the proceed
ings of the American Philosophical
society an important paper on the
peopling of Asia, which “constitutes
one of the greatest problems of an
tbropology.” He concludes, says the
Scientific American, that the cradle
of humanity was essentially south
western Europe, with later the Medi
terranean basin, western Asia and Af
rica. It is primarily from Europe and
secondarily from these regions that
the earth was peopled, and this peo
pltug was comparatively recent. Early
inun wus unable 'to people the globe
owing to his insufficient effectiveness
and until the end of glacial times and
his old stone culture he had evidently
all he could do to preserve mere ex
istence. Only an advance In culture
could enable him to control his en
vironment and secure a steady surplus
of hirths over deaths. The cause of
man’s peopling of the world was not a
mere wish to do go, but the necessity
arising from growing numbers nnd cor
respondingly decreasing supply of
food. It was this which eventually
led to agriculture. This spreading
over the globe wus conditioned by
three great laws—movement In the di
rection of least resistance; movement
In the direction of the greatest pros
pects; movement due to a force from
behind, or compulsion.

Strathle Mackay, a window cleaner,
can sing two notes of music at the
same time and has been the subject
of much curiosity and Interest In Lon
don recently. The department of pho
netics In the London university has
shown deep Interest in Mackay’s case
and has subjected him to tests und at
his own request has arranged for
further tests of his remarkable talent.
One of tbe tests was made by Prof.
Daniel Jones, head of the department
of phonetics in the university. At (tie
conclusion the professor told a news
paper representative that Mr. Mac
kay’s voice was absolutely unlike any
other lie had ever heard. He said
that It was phenomenal.
At the professor’s request, Mackay
sang a number of notes with tlie dou
ble voice, and records of these tones
were taken by the kymograph, an in
strument which shows sound vibra
tions. By these means it was possible
to keep a strictly scientific measure
ment of the musical Intervals between
the double notea that were sung.
Professor Jones explains that Mac
kay apparently hns the power when
singing to make one of his vocal
chords vibrate at half the sate of the
other, or at a third, fourth or fifth of
the rate. It Is this which produces the
double notes.

Again we have evidences of the
activity of (he Associated Industries
in sending nut propaganda against
the dairy interest and In fact the
agricultural Interests of the state of
Oregon. The press bureau of this
association send out news sheets each
week to the rural press. In many
rases the paper take this hook, halt
and sinker, give free publication of
this propoganda which Is directly op
posed Io the luiere’ t i pud develop

paper has a r i m let ion.
Last week we railed altrillio n to
a nearby town having qn.le an active

the papers there carried the ''dope"
of the oleo manufacturers, in other
words they print the article direct

week we see another evidence In our
own county. Pendleton has quite a
creamery; there arc a number of

Pendleton paper ea irl.s the dope of
the oleo crowd freely. Can you bent
it? The oleo crowd gets free pub

dairy industry remains silent.
