PUBLISHERS 4-ss OCIATION
OUR FUTURE IS BRIGHT
The vote of nine to one in favor of a sewer system
and improved and extended water system gives as
surance that the citizenship of Hermiston is almost
unanimously in favor of progress. 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.

ed the interests of J. J. Chisholm and will continue
to operate in the same location, handling the same
lines of feeder supplies. We thank our customers of

Chisholm Grain & Feed Co. a successful concern.
