Teal, president of the rapids association. The congressman's letter is as fol lows: Washington, D. C., January 3, 1925. Dear Joe: 1 have yours of December twenty- ninth with a copy of your letter of the twenty-seventh to Secretary Work, and also yours of the same date to Governor Pierce and will be glad to talk these matters over with you when you reach Washington. 1 heartily agree with your point of view expressed In your letter to the Secretary and to the Governor, for, ag Milton puts It— "Through the never ending course of future years” the Umatilla rapids will be with us. It was put there by Providence for our benefit In lieu of other cheap fuel such as coal J et cetra. I am with you. Sincerely yours, N. J. Sinnott. Mr. Sinnott was the author of thd measure that' appropriated *50.000 for the federal survey of the project. There Is an unex pended balance of over *6,000 and the senate has voted to use this money for an enlarged study of the project and its scope.

W. Grif fith to portray the role of George Washington In "America,” the ro mantic photoplay of the War of In dependence which comes to the Rlvoll Theatre, Pendleton, for 3 days, staring today. Dewey wa„ selected because he was adjudged to have the most per fect physical resemblance to Wash ington. Before the final selection was made Dewey and several other applicants were taken to Washing ton, D. C., by Griffith, In order that he might compare their, visages with pictures and statues of the first president. Although some historical authori ties claim that the Father of hie Country was more than six feet in height, Griffith's research depart ment unearthed an order written by Washington to his tailors in London. In which he described himself as "Just six feet and of medium build.” It was found that Dewey was ex actly six feet tall. Dewey is a descendant of an old Revolutionary family, which In the last century migrated from Lexing ton, Mass., to the Middle West, set tling in Illinois. One of hlB ances tors, Ashabel Smith, answered Paul Itevere's semmons and fought val iantly on Lexington Green.
