CONSTRUCTION UMATILLA DAM WILL SOLVE MIGRATION PROBLEM The Umatilla Rapids dam for im mediate construction is before Pres ident Roosevelt today and Congress man Walter M. Pierce is pressing the matter with all the force of his official, political and personal ener gy. He spent part of last Friday and again on Monday for several hours in Hermiston studying the sit uation with officials of the Wallula Gateway club and other citizens, and Tuesday evening forwarded a letter by air mail and brief of the new argument to the president, ur ging Immediate construction. The question has been brought to fresh attention because of the tre mendous immigration of drought suf ferers of the midwest and the Paci fic Northwest, which will increase the demand for relief and employ ment. The Umatilla rapids dam sur vey are complete and the whole thing is ready to go. An order from the president and allocation of part of the funds would provide work for nearly 5000 persons, directly on the works and Indirectly in housing and otherwise caring tor the men em* ployed on the dam. It was also shown to the con- gressman that many houses could be built on small tracts at motor distances of one to 20 miles which could be used for employees on the works during construction, and sal vaged to farmers after the work was completed. Instead of a barracks ar rangement at the dam which would be useless or of small salvage value after the workers were removed, the same materials and labor could he cashed In at fair prices to farmers on tracts of land, or in towns, at the same time the necessary housing be accomplished. This measure has been proposed and accepted by army engineers on other public works. The situation of necessary employment to farmers, who are w thout means of support, and a chance to Improve their tracts and re-establish themselves on the land, during hours not employed, and of being permitted to buy a home at a very reasonable cost, is expected to appeal to the president. It was estimated that over 2000 such farms could be made available within driving distances of the dam site. And because of the length of the dam and easy access to con struction on all parts, and because of mild winter climate, many of these distressed farmers could be set to work very soon. Otherwise the states and government will be at the expense of caring for them and their families this winter and di rectly providing means for them to return to farming. Some of them have a little money but moat of them have only a car and a trailer, big families, and few goods, and are looking already for relief and employment and small leases on farm tracts, or houses In i town of which there are none avail able In the Pacific Northwest
