Cile Hermistun VOLUME XXX NUME) a ) EVENTS ARRANGED FOR FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION HERE COMMUNITY PARK HERMISTON SELECTED AS SITE. ✓ , . — Parade Will Open Program for Day; Sports. Fireworks and Baseball. A program for the Fourth of July celebration to be staged at Hermis ton for the first time in a number of years, was outlined at a meeting of committees Wednesday night at the Legion hall. With the near-com- pletion of the Hermiston Community park and the new Union high school building Hermiston feels justified in staging such a celebration in its city. A parade will open the celebra tion at 10:00 o'clock on the morn ing of the Fourth and all local busi ness houses will be represented, to gether with floats from business houses and cooperative organiza tions in adjacent territory. Oranges, lodges, churches and civic orders are being invited to participate in the parade, by Al Kennings, chair man of the parade committee. The different events following the parade will be put on at the Her miston Community park grounds. A water hose fight is being planned in which local firemen will partici pate. This event will follow imme diately after the line of parade has been disbanded. Grounds concessions will be con ducted by granges and other civic organizations. The Boy Scout troop under the leadership of their scout- master, Harold Thompson, will have two concessions, and the money made from these will be used to build their log cabin on the shore of the lake on the park grounds. A speaker who is to be announced later, will deliver a Fourth of July address immediately following the lunch hour. The point of interest during the speaking will be center ed around the lake at the southwest corner of the park, and water sports events will be staged later. These will be directed by A. E. Ben- sei. Raymond Loghorn, manager of the Hermiston baseball team, is making arrangements for a base ball game between an all-star local team and a team from the east end of the county. Attractions in the evening will be a fight card arranged by Harry Kel ley. to be staged in the park audi torium. Fireworks on the shore of the lake will be put on immediately after the fight card is completed. Sam Moore was authorized to en gage music for a dance in the new park pavilion, and it was stated that Bransterrer’s orchestra would prob ably furnish the music. The Hermiston Community park grounds will be in fine shape for the celebration. A crew of CCC boys from the Stanfield camp are work ing on leveling the northeast corner of the grounds this week. The Westland Grange manifest interest in the park and celebration by donating $25 toward the park fund.

Enormous Cost of Other Dams not Justified; Public Sentiment for Umatilla Rapids Dam. TEN DAY OLD CHICKS GROW IN FAVOR WITH POULTRYMEN Out of 500 sexed chicks purchas ed from the Cooperative Hatchery at Yakima. Wn„ Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Dunning have lost but one. These chicks were delivered at the door by the hatchery representative when ten days old and the Dunnings be lieve this is much more satisfactory than purchasing day old chicks. The Dunnings have been in the poultry business on this project since 1928 and have maintained 800 laying hens until February when fire destroyed their houses and en tire flock. They plan to build this fall in time for the pullets to be placed in the laying house. The houses will be 24x60 feet, parti tioned in the center making two units, and will have a hot water heating system. Each unit will have a capacity of from 150 to 200 lay ing hens. For a time the Dunnings carried on special breeding in their flock but believe that it does not pay un less the producer carries out a trap nest schedule. All pullets are culled before going into the laying house and also through the entire year. Mr. Dunning believes that some of the older hens are fine layers and at the time of the fire he had one six year old hen, believed to lay as reg ularly as the young pullets. Two brooder houses, one 10x16 and the other 10x10. are heated by coal brooder stoves. The floor of the houses are covered with sand and often when the chicks are first placed in the house a heavy strip of paper is used about the Brooder stove to prevent crowding. Paper seems to be no more advantageous than wire netting except that it may tend to aid in the heat regulation and prevent drafts. The Dunnings have kept about 100 White Giant hens as a market bird and also 100 White Leghorn cockerels. From records kept in former years it is estimated to cost between 53 cents and 65 cents to place a pullet in the laying house. The feed Item and hatching cost determine this to a great extent. Forty acres of the Dunning place is in pasture and 20 acres is broken up and used for orchard which pro duces appricots, peaches, apples, prunes, pears, and berries and grapes thrive. They also have a herd of 10 dairy cows but maintain that poultry pays better than dairy cows if carried on commercially. The fire loss has not discouraged the Dunnings in the poultry busi ness but they are making greater plans for the future along this line. ----------- Hugh Fraser Promoted. Hugh Fraser, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Fraser of Hermiston, has been promoted as director of audit ing with headquarters in New York, by the Anaconda Copper Mining company.

Monday, June let. These hours will be observed every day except Sunday. That the fight for early construc tion of the Umatilla dam has not been dropped because of the recent decision of the U. 8. Army board In Washington, which made an un- favorable report, was brought out in a talk to the Hermiston Commer cial club Tuesday evening by E. P. Dodd. The army board suggested dams at The Dalles, just below Celilo and at John Day rapids near the mouth of the John Day river, instead of the Umatilla dam, under what they seemed pleased to call a progressive program. This means that they pre fer to build all the dams step by step, which is set up as an engin eering policy. It was shown that according to the previous army engineers’ report the two dams Celilo and John Day would be completed over two hun dred million dollars, and would not improve river navigation beyond Umatilla. At the same time the same board of engineers is building a channel from Celilo to Umatilla at a cost of $650,000, which funds have been allocated and the work is now well underway. All this chan nel, seven feet deep and 150 feet wide, would be drowned out by the dams below. As to navigation benefits the tonnage along this strip of river Is less than ten percent of the tonnage of the Inland Empire. Ninety psr cent of the wheat, wool, fruits, min erals. timber and other products for down stream shipments are above Umatilla rapids, and likewise the toonnage of oil and gas required for use east of the Cascades is east of the dam at Umatilla rapids. All the new proposed dams would do. would be to create greater sur plus power, and according to all re cent reports Bonneville is having some trouble in marketing its own power, and there seems no place for Grand Coulee to transmit its elec tricity yet. , Why the government can endorse a plan to create more power exclu sively and not create better naviga tion advantages for the million of people in the Inland Empire, where traffic rates are still three times the national average is beyond the com prehension of the average man of this region, said the speaker. Letters were read also showing that the Coloumbia Valley associa tion, which is a branch of the Port land Chamber of Commerce, were opposed to further consideration of the Umatilla dam, and that the said association proposes to shoot out some rock in the Umatilla rapids for a new proposed line of boats with steel sides and bottoms which are designed they say, to stem the swift currents and fight the hazards for three months a year. This sort of navigation is designed to make a rate basis by reaching an unknown port at Dent's Landing just above the Oregon-Washington state line. The whole scheme was pronounc ed chimerical and ridiculous and planned only by certain elements throughout the northwest to defeat the building of the Umatilla rapids dam and prevent the establishment of a water rate on the Columbia and Snake rivers. It is known that all present sena tors and representatives on the state are for the Umatilla rapids dam and that all candidates for fed eral offices at the coming November election are likewise for the Uma tilla dam. The mass of the people are for the dam and their repre sentatives must likewise continue to uphold its rights. There is no likelihood that army boards, engin eers. paid secretaries of river orga nizations and transportation forces will defeat the will of the people, was claimed by Mr. Dodd. ---- =------ - Townsend Club Meeting.
