They have been here fifteen months, and many of them have become identified as citi zens of the community. Mr. Koon built a beautiful duplex apartment and made other investments. Dur ing the calamity that occurred last spring in the break of the feed canal, they gave their services in an elaborate relocation of the lifeline of the Umatil la project for which every farmer and local citizen should be forever grateful. They recognized the emergency, saw what they could do and did it with out ostentation or display. Their work on the Ord nance Depot was of the highest quality, and we trust, will redound to their already high reputation as engineers. • ' Again the newspapers are full of development of the Columbia river and construction of the Umatilla rapids dam. The President has asked Mr. Mansfield, chairman of the l ivers and harbor bill, to hasten the passage of the billion dollar river and harbor Omni bus bill. In that bill are features that are called “Must”, and the Umatilla dam is one of them. Dr. Paul J. Raver of Bonneville is strong for the dam, and last but not least, Secretary Ickes is advocating the same. Power is said to be needed as soon as it can be available for defense and industry. All to gether the forces behind the Umatilla dam are grow ing large, and the early construction is now consid ered unanimous. 9 ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS 04049900099909090989999 09 90999890**************9 14. and will then and there be opened ‘ > and publicly read aloud.

We suggest that those who have good one room affairs, or two rooms, begin reconstruction and make bigger and better places for permanent families to live. The tent house and trailer house and mere shack time is over, and more attractive and modern places are sought daily by families who will pay reasonable rentals and remain permanently.

Every time an American anti-aircraft gun lets go with a big 3-inch shell it uses up nearly 8 pounds of copper—the equivalent of 25 feet of rural or suburban power line. Copper, the most practical carrier of elec tricity. is also a vital part of all ammunition — the shell case, the primer, and the coat ing on the projectile. Now that America is producing millions of shells a day. you can imagine how scarce copper has become War production offi cials estimate their copper requirements at 5,000,000 tons to the end of next year. Only 3,200.000 tons are in sight. If our army and navy are to have all the bullets they need to win this war. civilian use of copper must be drastically curtailed. Huilt in 3-1/2- and 5-foot sizes to match the power of wheel-type tractors, this many-purpose tool will handle all your earth-moving jobs. It is durable and strong— all wearing parts are reinforced and protected. Extremely easy to handle, the Killefer Farm Scraper is tractor-controlled. It cuts and spreads thick or thin, dumps forward or backward. BUILT TO WORM WITH A spring-balanced drawbar WMEEL-TYPE TRACTORS makes it adjustable to all soil conditions. Come in and see the many features of this sturdy scraper. Braden-Bell Trader & Equipment Co. PENDLETON ■ For example. power companies, normally the largest civilian users of copper, can no longer build long extensions to serve farms or suburban homes. Nor can new electrical installations be made to serve industries without approval of the War Production Board. For in power lines, as well as in industrial plants. Amer ica must get the utmost out of existing facilities—if we are to avoid wasting prec ious time, materials and manpower. Just as soon as the enemy has been thoroughly defeated. Pacific Power & Light will again continue its policy of extending copper lines almost anywhere to deliver its cheap, dependable electricity.
