UMATILLA RAPIDS
PROJECT REVIVED
CONGRESSMAN-ELECT
WALTER
M. PIERCE PLEDGES SUPPORT.
Activity in Association Assured;
Merits Umatilla Unit as National
Dam Site Featured.
A rousing meeting of interested
parties of this section in the devel
opment of the Umatilla Rapids Pro
ject at some future date, was held
here Thursday night (today) in the
Hermiston Hotel with Congressman-
elect Walter M. Pierce and
Mrs.
Pierce as honor guests.
E. P. Dodd, president of the Her
miston Commercial club, presided,
sketching the growth of the Uma
tilla Rapids association since its or
ganization in Umatilla, January 26,
1921. At that time the association
raised $1400 which was used to pre
pare a survey, Mr. Dodd pointed out,
with $10.000 later appropriated by
the state, and $50,000 by the feder
al government. The three important
features in the development of the
Columbia river were brought out by
Mr. Dodd as reclamation, naviga
tion, reclamation, with the build
ing of a bridge that would serve as
an interstate link bringing Wash
ington, Idaho, and Oregon closer,
commercially.
Ex-Governor Pierce pledged his
support to the enterprise at the
Umatilla Rapids and expressed his
pleasure at being able to appear be-
fore representatives interested from
this section of the state. He also
stated that he was anxious to bring
about farm relief within the coming
year and favored many points in the
Grange debenture plan.
Congressman Pierce congratulated
this community on having a solvent)
bank with such a capable banker
as F. B. Swayze at its head. He paid
tribute to Mr. Swayze's ability as a
banker in keeping the Hermiston
bank open when every bank for a
distance of 100 miles east and west
on the Columbia highway had closed
its doors.
E. B. Aldrich, editor of the East
Oregonian of Pendleton, and also a
member of the State Highway Com-
mission, pointed out favorable fea-
tures in the report made by the Bu-
reau of Reclamation and also the
Army Engineer’s report,
for the
Umatilla Rapids Project. He men
tioned D. C. Brownell, deceased, of
Umatilla who was one cf the insti-
' gators in the organizing of the as
sociation. From its beginning, Mr.
Aldrich said, D. C. Brownell never
ceased in his efforts to promote in
terest in the project. Following the
first meeting in Umatilla a second
group of citizens met in Pendleton
where the Umatilla Rapids associa
tion was organized with representa
tion from Walla Walla, Spokane,
and other sections of the country.
Mr. Aldrich was chairman of the
promotion committee that was given
a hearingg in Washington, D. C., in
1931, when the merits of the Uma
tilla site were presented before the
