A conflict of dates for the audi torium was the cause. The high school had secured the hall and would have it decorated for its an nual prom, and owing to other con flicting dates could not make a change in the school program for commencement season. The park committee, consisting of J. A. Clarke, H. A. Pankow, Sam Moore, E. D.

SENATOR CHARLES MCNARY OPPOSES ARMY ENGINEER’S REPORT ON RIVER In a telegram from Senator Char les L. McNary this week. In response to a letter from the Wallula Gate way club, opposition to the report of the board of army engineers was very positive. The senator declared that he was not in accord with the report in any way and would con tinue to fight for the Umatilla rap ids dam to be built as the next struc tore on the Columbia It is also definitely known that Congressman Walter M. Pierce and Senator Fred erick Steiwer are likewise of the same mind. In a study of the platform of the various candidates for congress be fore the approaching primaries, all are for the Umatilla dam. The ques tion is now a political Issue and will be supported by the voice of the people, notwithstanding the re- norted proposals of the engineers. The engineers changed their minds when powerful popular forces in sisted on ship locks at Bonneville. They likewise saw differently when the publie Insisted on deepening the channel below Bonneville to Van OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER MAY 7. 1936. couver, and when the channel de velopment from Celilo to Wallula was cut off at Umatilla. The pro posal to dig a channel from Celilo to Umatilla at a cost of $650,000, seven foot deep and 150 feet wide, which Is now In progress, seems ab surd when the same board of en gineers recommended drowning out that same channel as soon as com pleted with a dam at Celilo and an other at John Day rapids, the two to cost more than twice the cost at Umatilla rapids. These dams would add only to the surplus of electric power and contribute nothing toward naviga tion or the development of the up per Columbia and Snake rivers, where 80 percent of the tonnage of the Columbia basin Is annually cre ated. The position of the engineers, if reported correctly. Is ludicrous and its purposes not yet under standable. There is a report that very soon they will be forced to change their minds through popular and poli tical demands ---------- The Herald will reach sub- scribers Thursday morning in- stead of Friday morning next week.
