We on this Um atilla project havt
a good place to live and work and
get along.
More and more people on the out

The other day a farmer living
not far from Hermiston went back
home, a matter of a day's drive In
a car, to visit. He took w ith him

why he is enthusiastic about bis Ir ­
rigated land.
Several of his neighbors, tired ol
depending on rain fall that sometimes
falls, have come down to look around
at land here that can be bought.
Others told him they are planning
to come.
Others, stranger» without the per-
■onal recommendation of friends
who live here, have been stopping
In Hermiston to investigate about
the raw lands that w ill be under
McKay water
next spring. Still
others are w riting for information.
Every indication points to a real
movement of settlers to the Um atilla
project this fall and w inter and next
spring. The local land settlement
committee Is receiving and answer­
ing ’ Inquiries by mall. They have
a lot more of that work coming up.
The committee can not do all of
the work, however, and right now Is
a good time to begin giving serious
consideration as to how our pros­
pects here may be told to people who
are seeking a new location. Organ-
lied effort counts for much, but In­
dividual effort also Is a big factor.
Those who know of people who
w ant to come here should w rite a
letter and tell prospective settlers
what we have to offer. The combln.
ed efforts of local people can count
tremendously In results.

Inherited M entality
According to • new theory on the
mode of Inheritance of mental traits
there are at least live pairs of heredi­
tary diameters that have to do with
the passing on of Intelligence, if both
parents are persons of high Intelli­
gence and possessed of all live pairs
of these characters, their chlldreu
will also average very high. I f they
are Idiots, having none of the pairs of
characters, their children also will be
Idiots. Intermediate conditions rep­
resenting people of good average In­
telligence, nut not geniuses, will pro­
duce a mixture of offspring types, with
occasional exceptional children, and
once In a while also offspring of low
mentality.
