Loch- ridge hop yard has been in progress since Monday with sixty pickers making the yard a scene of activi ty. The second shipment has been sent to the Herbert Herin kiln at Granger, Wn., where Mr. Lochridge is having the drying done. The final yield report will be obtainable about Saturday, after the hops have been baled, but Mr. Lochridge believes it will surpass expectations. Pickers have been averaging 100 pounds per day but a few as many as 250 pounds, at one and one fourth cent a pound. All the light hops have been picked and Wednes day saw all picking in heavy hops. This is the first venture in hop raising on the Hermiston project but it is anticipated that there will be several hundrtd acres in hops on surrounding irrigation projects next season. Mr. -Lochridge is an exper ienced grower, having worked at Yakima and valley points. He says the soil here is ideal for hop raising, with little difficulty experienced with pests, and no mildew.

DANA FAVORS CONFERENCE ON RIVER SOON DODD GREATLY ENCOURAGED BY RECENT DEVELOPMENTS. Announces in Portland That Uma tilla Project Will Be Given Hearing; Work Ready. E. P. Dodd, secretary of the Tri State Development league, who was in Hermiston Monday from Walla Walla, expressed encouragement in the development of the program on the Umatilla rapids project. “The most encouraging feature,” Mr. Dodd said "is the recent announce ment by Marshall N. Dana, regional advisor for administration of public works, that there will be two big conferences, one in Portland and the other probably in Walla Walla, in the near future.” Mr. Dodd feels that this is a final recognition of the efforts put forth by the league in bringing the Uma tilla rapids project possibilities be fore the necessary public officials as a means of furnishing immediate employment for thousands of work ers. These meetings are in the na ture of final adjustments to get these projects functioning and pro viding employment without delay. Other proposed damsite docu ments which were presented to Mar shall N. Dana, public works admin istrator, have been returned to the chief of engineers for an estimate of the employment factor involved in construction; this action could be construed as unfavorable to any de velopment on the Columbia that does not provide the same quick em ployment policy that is demanded lor state and local projects sponsor ed by state advisory board. “We have the advantage of being ready to go at once, with all survey and preliminary work, completed, and can promise immediate employ ment of up near 10,000 men as op- posed to the 1000 men to get work n most of these other river develop ment projects,” stated Dodd, Mon day, before he returned to his du ties in Walla Walla. Dodd believes that with the indi cation given by Dana of a meeting in the near future, it will open the field and permit immediate action on the most feasible project. It is hoped that a separate conference will be called In the near future, to be held in Walla Walla, not in a competitive nature to the Bonne ville one, but more to make this an individual affair. The Umatilla project, for develop ing the upper Columbia and Snake for transportai ton and later power, received added impetus when Sen ator C. C. Dill of this state sent a letter from Washington urging Dana to give it a hearing.

STORY OF UMATILLA COUNTY TOLD IN WINDOW DISPLAY. 7977 8 $ % % $ The Sixth Street window of the Public Service Building in Portland portrays the Industrial, agricultural and historical background of Uma tilla County. This exhibit, pre pared by the Pendleton Chamber of Commerce, is displayed through the courtesy of the Pacific Power A Light Company. The display per iod will extend from August 28th to September 10th. The cleverly arranged centerpiece consists of a picture map of Uma tilla County upon which is shown the highway systems, rivers, com munities and other details. Each community located on the map is represented pictorially using the commodity or resource characteris- ‘ tic of it. The map is surrounded with Umatilla County products and brightened with touches of Round- Up color. It is a most striking dis play and is proving to be highly at tractive to Portland citizens who view it daily. t********9%99* : • ♦ ALONG THE CONCRETE ♦ ♦ 44998999*****% » Chas. C.
