VOLUME XXVIII N. 1 COLUMBIA RIVER PROGRAM ISSUE IN GUBERNATORIALRACE DODD MAY ENTER PRIMARIES ON RIVER PLATFORM Known as Staunch Supporter of All River Development; Witholding Final Decision Until April 3. During the past three weeks, E. P. Dodd of Hermiston, has been urged by friends and supporters of the river program in favor of the Upper Columbia and its tributaries for navigation, to enter the race for governor, on a river platform. He has been the leading advocate of the improvement of these streams during the past year, and has al ways supported the proposition that this down hill haul was Portland's and the state's greatest asset. He was secretary years ago of the Co lumbia Highway Water Grade asso- elation, and last year organized the Tri-State Development League, of which he is executive secretary, with a membership spread over 28 counties in three states. He is now Oregon vice president of the Inland Empire Waterways assocation which is supporting a seven point program for the Columbia and Snake, includ ed and east of Bonneville. Mr. Dodd has served two terms in the Oregon legislature, has been ten times chosen president of the Her miston Commercial club, and was sent several years ago to Washing ton, D. C., to represent the McKay dam to reclamation officials, and brought home the engineers who built the 82,000,000 dam near Pen dleton. He is a graduate of Indiana State University, after having spent one year at Stanford, was ten years a newspaper editor, and has always been engaged In public effort in be half of the communities in which be lived. He is a son-in-law of R. Alexander, retired merchant of Pen dleton, who was engaged in busi ness 50 years in the Round-up city, and is well known in business, po litical and lodge circles throughout the state. He was born In southern Idaho, son of pioneers of the late fifties, and navigated the Snake the first time swinging to the saddle horn as his cow pony swam the stream. Since then he has lived along and has seen the Snake from American Falls to Pasco, and the Columbia from the Canadian lakes *o Ilwaco by saddle horse, steam- 1 oat, automobile, railway and air- plane. Support of the river platform with Dodd as a candidate has been contacted by his friends in 12 coun ties east of the Cascades, and he has many friends in Portland, Southern Oregon and Astoria. He is withholding final decision until April 3rd, and until more favorable expression from other candidates for the river program is given. He believes that the development of new natural resources In transpor tation and power, stone, timber, agriculture and manufacturing along with the great strides in the Com merce of the Pacific, and the conse quent employment of many people demands the first attention of the citizens of Oregon. He has prepared the following platform and outline of argument, with which, he will go before the Republican voters in the May primaries. HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON. THURSDAY, SUPPORT WARRANTED IN WAR PENDLETON WILL BE HOST AGAINST MAGPIES AND CROWS. TO MASTER MASONS APRIL 14 of the beet methods to over- come the evils of the magpies and crows in this section were brought out at the meeting of the Hermiston od & Gun club Friday night. The most effective way of destroying the pests was said to be drilling holes in 4 to 6 foot lengths of 2x4s, pour ing poison mixed with tallow into them, and nailing these at the dif ferent places high in the trees where the magpies have their nests. Great precaution with this method, it was stated, would have to be ta ken because of the danger of poison ing other fowls and animals. A contest such as was put on two years ago was discussed, and it was decided to first have a membership drive and get as many interested in the cause as possible. Donations were also requested from the differ ent organizations of the communi ty toward this fund so that a suc cessful contest can be carried on. Membership cards have been printed and for the price of fifty cents, all sportsmen in the community may join this worthy organization. At the executive meeting of the Umatilla Project Farm Bureau Wed nesday night the organization went on record as favoring the move and appointed a committee to contact authorities. Anyone interested should se W. L. Hamm, secretary, or J. F. Bilder- back, president of the organization, immediately. A number of new members were received at the meet ing Friday night. It was decided to hold regular meetings once a month, and the next meeting is scheduled for Friday, April 20. Some MARCH 29. 1934. 1 PILOT ROCK IS SUNDAY GOLF TOURNAMENT WINNER.
