K. - The Yellow Bar Bars for The hearing on the Umatilla dam was held in Washington on March 16th as scheduled. Six members of the board of 12 were present. Four senators and three congress men testified before the board in favor of the immediate construction of the dam. They were Senators Frederick Steiwer, Chas. L. McNary, of Oregon, Pope of Idaho and Sch wellenbach of Washington, and Congressman Pierce of Oregon, Knute Hill of Washington, and White of Idaho. Briefs and maps were presented, argued and filed by the Inland Empire Waterways asso ciation, the Lewiston Waterways as sociation and other organizations. The board took the arguments under advisement and will review the case completely, and is expected to re- port its decision within 60 or 90 days. According to reports the points around which the arguments were made were navigation, power and irrigation. Facts were presented to show that the dam was justified for immediate construction, in reply to Col. T. M. Robin’s report of last year, that it was justified for im mediate construction by 86 percent. The new argument showed a greater demand for the use of elec tricity as shown by more modern demands under reduced costs, and I that cost of transmission from either . y___ eny.

It would be a great thing for the cause of safety if every citizen could read the book let, meditate upon it, and act upon the lessons it gives and implies. What caused serious accidents last year? As in the past, excessive speed was the undertaker's best friend, accounting for 31 per cent of all accidents in which persons were killed and injured. A heavy foot on the accelerator smooths the path to the morgue. Next came driving on the wrong side of the road, the cause of 17 per cent of the accidents. “Keep to the right” seems to be a laugh to many drivers. Cars not having the right of way caused 15 per cent of the accidents. Their drivers saved a second or two —at the expense of life and health. Fourteen per cent of the acci dents occurred when cars drove off the roadway. Many causes may en ter into this type of accident—and drunken driving, which seems to be on the increase, is among them. A substantial portion of motorists must be taught, no matter how roughly, that alcohol and gasoline make a poor mixture. Reckless driving caused 13 per cent of the accidents, with the re- maining 10 per cent laid to miscel laneous causes. Think over this list. How often have you been guilty of one or more of the violations listed? Sure, you got away with it last time—but re- member that next time you may not be so lucky. 35c THOMPSON’S 224 29 BULK Lbs. ________ HermUtoa. Oregon CHURCH NOTES HERMISTON UNION CHURCH C. R.
