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.

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.
