WHAT M’NARY THINKS OF THE
UMATILLA RAPIDS INVES
TIGATION
A few days ago Senator McNary
visited the Umatilla project. While
here he was taken on a tour of in
spection of the Umatilla rapids where
work of Investigation as to the feasi
bility of raising the water from the
Columbia to the arid lands above Is
'In progress.
The senator had seen the bumper
crops of various products on the pro
ject made posible by putting water
on the land. Close by he observed
a portion of the 270,000 thirsty acres
that is waiting for water and the em
bryo for hundreds of homes and
fainiB if it but had the water.
McNary, as senator from the com
monwealth of Oregon at Washlng-
tton, D. C., has at all times labored
with untiring efforts to develop the
latent resources of the state which he
represents. He has the Interest of
his constituents at heart. In the
past be has worked to bring about
that which will benefit the majority.
With this in mind he gave out a
statement upon reaching home to the
press of the state concerning his
opinion of the Umatilla RapidM after
he had visited the site and observed
with his own eyes its possibilities.
He stated that be as a member of
the senute agricultural committee
had made a thorough study of the
Muscle Shoals proposition and in his
judgement horse power could be de
veloped much cheaper at the Rapids
than on the Tennessee river.
A statement of this nature coming
from a man like the Senator who is
in a position whereby he is able to

IS IT FOLLY TO BE WISE?
When a man who said on the wit.
neas stand only a year or so ago that
"the Revolutionary war was fought
In 1812,” and that "history Is bunc,
can lend in a straw vote for president
and when a man said only a few
weeks ago, "I don't give a dam for
books,” can be elected U. 8. Senator
In a stats like Minnesota, one may

girl graduate, "Whither are we drift

The Bear Hunters Return
Several memberH of the Hermiston
Fear Hunters’ association ipent last
week In the wilds of the Blue nioun-
talnaon the north fork of the John
Day river and Its tributaries. It
was a preliminary expedition to look
over the game and prepare for the
big doings later in the season.
B. S. Kinksley, chairman of the ad
visory board, came up from Portland
to assist In the work. B. S. has al
ways been a good example for young
er hunters to follow until he found a
pack rat’s nest In Ihe front cylinder
of Ihe auto engine. At thia time he
said things we are not allowed to
send through the mall.
Mr. end Mrs. Merrill Potter did
antnc flrhing in Big creek during the
trp. Merrill always gets the limit
and no more. Mrs. Potter gave an
exhibition of how little furniture Is
really needed for a happy home and
how quickly a housewife can move
from one location to another. Her
work along this line would make the
county demonstration agent green
with envy. Merrill brought home
his “dear". It was the same one he
took to camp (his wife.)
George Come Is a close observer
of animal life. He worked early and
late studying the habits of rare creat
ures as well as doing his share of
hunting for ordinary game. George
gave the party much valuable Infor
mation regarding that beautiful Hi
de animal known as the wampus
as well aa Ihe wonderful Patagonian
pip cat. Both of these spec lee are
only fownd In the vicinity of Texae
creek.
Carl Voyen was not Idle a moment.
He not only did the work prescribed
fur a hunter but white In camp kept
hla mind occupied. He suggested
many valuabl Ideas to be worked out
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■a
:
■
In the future One of his most feasl
ble schemes is to start a dairy using
does for producers to supply forest
rangers, hunters, ete., with dairy
products. Carl takas the ground
that there Is an enormous waste In
using does for ornamental purposes
only. He Insists that a skimmed
milk fawn Is good enough for any
body. He proposes to put the sys
tem on a paying basis. He already
has the ropes ready to tie the nerv
ous does to trees while being milked.
This Is surely the last word In the
way of economy.
Logan Todd was the new member,
a tenderfoot In fact. It was his first
appearance before the wild animals.
After he he had walked some 20
miles each day for several days, and
had washd dishes, earied water, etc
he happened to think he had left his
dear In Hermiston and he suggested
that it was useless to further inter
fere with the quiet lives enjoyed by
the denizens of the forest.
BUI Eddy is an experienced hunter
but pretty heavy for steep grades.
After a few days training he had re
duced twenty pounds and could turn
double somersaults forward or back
ward. There seemed to be no limit
to his progress along athletic lines,
until one day his socks went hay
wire. His toes had crawled through
the front end of each sock and when
he removed his shoes he found said
socks occupying an open spot be
tween the ankle and knee of each
hind leg. Bill at once ceased train
ing and was a changed man.
Harry Todd was the hero of the
hour. He slew a male buck which
had horns. This act provided camp
meat and made the expedition a cAm.
plete success. Harry was given a
seat of honor at the end of the feed
trough where the liver and onions
the mulligan and other savory dishes
were served.
Dad West was everywhere present,
especially at meal times. He gave
out great gobs of advice from time
to time and his moral support was
appreciated by all.
The writer may not have express
ed the Individual opinions of each
member of the party. However all
will agree that the high peaks cov
ered with beautiful pines, the brac
ing mountain air and the springs of
pure cold water made the surround
ings fit for kings.
