Hogs Place At State Fair.
Two entries made in the hog di
vision at the state fair by Bernard
Jendrzejewski, placed in the prem-
iums. One gelding placed fifth and
one seventh In the fat hog division.
Bernard is a 4-H club boy and ia
the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Jendrze-
jewski. He returned home Monday.
SURPASSES EXPECTATIONS
Hop picking in the O. T. 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.

MARSHALL N. 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.

portrays the Industrial, agricultural

tilla County. This exhibit, pre
pared by the Pendleton Chamber of
Commerce, is displayed through the

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.
