Mr. Trommer8bausen, represent
ing the national REA, Mr. Robinson
ot Barr & Cunningham, engineers
tor the local REA project, and H. R.
Newport, ot the firm of Newport,
Kern & Kibbe, arrived in Hermiston

Pacific Light & Power company,
will also be present to assist and
will take pictures of the scene when
the lines are energized.
The Umatilla Electric Cooperative
association, under which the local
REA is operated, has sent notices to
users that the lines will be energiz
ed, and also warnings to be cautious
about touching or coming in contact
in any way with the wires. Stack
ers especially should not be moved
under the line unless the office of
the association is notified and pro
per precaution taken. The directors
request that all users cooperate in
an effort to protect human life by
taking precaution against possible
contacts with the wires.
Two weeks ago the board of direc
tors set Friday, July 15, as the time
for energizing the lines. All con
struction and maintenance forces
have been busy since that time get
ting the system in readiness. Clar-
-ence A. Kennison, manager-lineman
•of the system, has directed a crew of
men setting meters. This work was
•completed today. The state inspec
tors have approved the necessary
312 houses required by the govern
ment as in readiness for energizing

The Charles L. Wheeler, Jr., of
McCormick Steamship Co., rounded
the bend of the Columbia river be
low The Dalles last Saturday after
noon in view of thousands of people
who witnessed the first ocean vessel
ever to pass behind two mountain
ranges on the North American con
tinent.
Spectators lined the shoreline
along the newly constructed levee
and crowded the dock to witness
the enchorage, while the Inland
Chief, the Stranger, the coast guard
cutter, and many private boats
stood by. Dignataries from the three
stood by. Dignitaries from the three
Pacific northwest states were among
those on the boats.
Captain Arthur Riiggs, veteran
river pilot, was at the helm of the
freighter as she steamed into port
while thousands of people cheered.
The 3800-ton freighter carried car
go to the inland port.
A pageant of the history of river
navigation was presented in the at
ternoon/followlng the arrival of the
boats. A parade of soldiers, bands,
and transport trucks went in review
before the dignitaries who were
seated in the stand before the Elks
Temple.
The banquet in the evening was
sold out long before the day of the
celebration. A unique feature of the
banquet was a long distance tele
phone conversation between The
Dalles and Washington, D. C., with
Governor Charles H. Martin and
Edward Pease, The Dalles merchant
and port sponsor, on the Oregon
end, and Col. Thomas M. Robins,
former divisional army engineer of
Portland, on the other end.
Local residents attending the
celebration were Mr. and Mrs. W. C.

close friend of Captain Riggs, who
piloted the steamer up the river.
