The few votes against can be attributed to misunderstanding of the proposals offered. The command is that Hermiston should go for ward to the limit of its possibilities. Any doubt about its growth beyond older days has been dis pelled by new conditions. The Ordnance Depot will be a permanent resource of business and population. The recent addition of nearly 300 housing units, with more in the near future, provides space for 1500 or more population instead of 800. There is now a steady demand for houses that somehow must be met. Employment from several sources for 1942 is assured. Our agricultural resources are on the upgrade and prices are hopeful for years ahead. Even though peace may be in sight for 1943, we are sure to remain in a defense area until the world’s problems are settled, and the normal progress of democracy has been established. No one attempts to deny that the commerce of the Pacific and the ad vancement of the Pacific Northwest will then as sume great strides. The great development of hy droelectric power of the Columbia (white coal) is leading to the establishment of industries similar to those of the anthracite regions of the east, with plants not only coastwise, but inland. And last but not least, in fact the best, we must figure one of these days on the Umatilla rapids dam. Politics or Washington boards may move aluminum plants but they cannot move the rapids. The forces behind the early construction of the dam are grow ing every day, and the power of the argument cannot be defeated much longer. Either the need for elec tricity for general uses and for defense will require action, or the Omnibus bill will be used as a cushion for non-employment after defense operations are completed. And its construction will again double the population of Hermiston. STANFIELD NEWS l!y M:s. Ruse Hedrick Mr. and Mrs. Fred Thorne return ed Saturday from a month's visit with Mis.
