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

when 36,100 lives were destroyed
by automobiles. 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.
