While not proposing to out-do the Liars’ Club in
Portland which claims that beans climb electric line
poles, and produce so heavily that two linemen are
required to pick the beans, and that cucumber vines
grow so fast that the traps must be set to catch the
cukes, we venture to tell the truth about things in this
locality.
We know of peaches here so large that one will
provide dessert for a family of six. Watermelons in
the Irrigon area are already so large that the grower
expects to use derricks to load them on a truck, and
one grower will give a party when he expects a half
dozen melons will fill up 300 people with the melon
appetite of a southern negro. Another grower ex
pects to harvest the seeds and split them for sails on
boats on the Columbia. Some people are buying one
potato for a meal for a family of seven. We know of
one morning glory seed that has covered the entire
front of a house, and Mrs. Udey has enough flowers
on a quarter of an acre to decorate every store front
in town. Alfalfa on some ranches on Butter Creek
has to be cut in half swaths and untangled from ad
joining vines before a tractor can repeat the round,
and additional land is being leased or bought on
which to stack hay. This is enough for one time lest
someone may get the idea that we are bragging.
The Umatilla Rapids dam is again at the forefront
for construction, either soon, or at the farthest, for.
post war development and employment. Bonneville
is short of water and Grand Coulee cannot release
enough to meet the emergency. New storage dams
are needed, but these cannot be brought into service
before 1945 and 1946, even if Idaho and Montana
permit the installations. Engineers are at work again
but utmost secrecy prevails. No one knows whether
they are there by usual order, or whether the Han
ford-Dupont program is rechecking. A special hear
ing is to be held before a congressional committee
and the public wishes of this interior region will be
set forth. After all the peoples affected have a great
voice in the development of the region. If their de
mands are made strong enough, they will be heard in
Washington, particularly as next year is a political
year.
