Uhe Hermiston Heralù VOLUME XXIX INTERVIEW LEADS TO BELIEF THAT DAM JUSTIFICATIONS MANY ARGUMENT FAVORS EARLY CONSTRUCTION. Economic and Political Phases for Construction of Umatilla Dam Sighted. T HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, THURSDAY. JULY 11. 1935. JMBER 46 That the Umatilla rapids dam must be built and that construction should be commenced soon is the strong impression gained by a spec ial committee who Interviewed Col. T. M. Robins. Chief of Army Engin eers on the Columbia river, soon af- ter he had completed his Fourth of July address at Umatilla. The committee consisted of B. B. Horrigan and C. M. O’Brien of Pasco and E. P. Dodd of Hermiston, and they discussed the development of the Columbia and the Snake, tor two hours with Col. Robins, and review- ed the report that has been submit ted to the army board and the presi dent and other superior administra tive officers at Washington. This committee learned from Col. Robins that there is a great deal of argument in favor of the early con struction of the Umatilla and Five Mlle dams on the economic and poli tical phases that he as an army en gineer cannot state in his report nor to public audiences. While he would not permit himself to be quot ed, he talked freely about the Uma tilla rapids dam and its key import ance to the whole development of the Columbia. That the people of this region and the whole inland empire should work diligently at this time for its construction, and urge its import ance before their senators and con gressmen and national officials who control the distribution of the fed eral funds was the unquestioned ap proval of the chief engineer. The Umatilla rapids dam Is justi fied by Col. Robins report for con struction now at 85 per cent. In this justification, published a few days ago, the report estimates the cost at 323,240,000. Of this amount he justifies the following: Power development 312,000,000 7,200,000 Navigation . 950,000 Irrigation Total benefits on present basis of estimates according to rules and reg ulations of the department would be 320,150,000 which expenditure is justified now. This leaves in the es tlmated costs an excess of only $2,- 250,000, not justified. The report does not consider in Its estimates such economic factors as the larger tonnage of the inland empire, nor such political factors as work relief, both of which, may be presented by the people generally and by the political forcea in Wash ington. The engineers are permitted to use such tonnage as lies or may be easily developed near the rivers, or a total of 2,000,000 tons of frieght that would be easily accessible to boat landings and can be transport ed short distances by truck or rail. The real volume of tonnage exceeds at present 12,000,000 tons and may be developed from potential resour ces and through greater proposed land and irrigation developments to over 20,000,000 tons. Such facts and claims are too far-reaching and He too greatly in the vision of the peo ple to be included in a conservative engineering report, but which may be safely compiled and urged as great factors in such development work. Since the report was made the president has approved 3113.000,- 000 for irrigation, at request of Dr. Mead, director of the U. S. Recla mation Service. The sum of 330,000. 000 was allotted to the Grand Cou lee for the Columbia basin and $5, 000,000 for the Roza project, both of which projects skirt the Colum bia north of Pasco on east and west sides, and both of which will be greatly benefitted by navigation di rectly through building the Uma tilla rapids. The per ton mile cost of trucking is 3c. In other words, a five ton truck can transport Its load one mile tor 15 cents. The Umatilla dam may be justified further by a saving in costs of trucking from Pasco and Wallula region to the present head of navigation, of one dollar or more per ton. This would affect the great wheat region of the Palouse, the canneries of Walla Walla. Pasco and Kennewick, and the Inland trans portation of gasoline and heavy slow tonnage to the great interior of Ore- gon, Washington. North Idaho and Western Montana, where 85 percent of the tonnage used to justify Bon neville and ship locks lies bottled up east of the Umatilla dam. This part of the Pacific Northwest has not received recognition from the powers in Washington in distri bution of public funds. That is with in 100 mile radius of Umatilla rap- ids no grant of any significance has been made, which is another poli tical or local public justification of the dams at Umatilla and on the lower Snake. The Dalles is preparing to con- strnct ship loading facilities but there will be no ship loads reach the Bonneville lake at Celilo unless through barges and boats above Umatilla dam. Umatilla is safely provided in the near future with good navigation and will receive at Its port tonnage from nearby coun- ties—a revival, of the traffic of the trail. But the Umatilla Old T STANFIELD NEWS t By Sophronia Rhea Miss Jessie Thompson of Hart- ford, Ohio, is spending a three week’s visit at the homo of Mrs. Wm. Daughtery.

McLAGLEN’S BEST ROLE IN “THE INFORMER.” In "The Informer," from which the RKO-Radio‘s screen play was adapted, Liam O’Flaherty, the nov elist, created a truly amazing char acter. That character is Gypo No- Ian, the primitive, Irish giant who is portrayed by Victor McLaglen and whose titantic downfall is the theme. Liam O’Flaherty has created out of Ireland’s bitter revolution a qua- si-fictional being who, stirred by de sire, harrowed by fear, torn by re morse, exalted by illusions of gran deur, and haunted by superstition, provides for Victor McLaglen what that actor regards as the greatest role of his career.
