The Senate added a few small items to the bill as passed by the House of Representatives and these must be ironed out in the conference committee when the measure will go to the president. The bill provides authorization for post war work in 44 states at a cost of five hundred million dollars —over one tenth of which is for the Umatilla (or McNary) dam, which ranks Number One for con struction. Ordinarily this should be the occasion for celebra tion in our part of the world. But we have become inured to patience and delay, supported by our as surance that the dam would finally be built—and even yet we must wait for the “go” signal. After more than 25 years of public effort toward which the citizens of these communities have contributed much money and time, we find ourselves at the point of being rewarded—and well rewarded. To those who have contributed in funds, time and good will, and to thousands of new-comers who will be benefitted, we can say prepare for a big boom during construction and permanent improvements and developments. It may come perhaps in the near future—and at least, very soon after the war breaks in Europe. ment. The operetta, "Ask the Profes sor”, presented by the G. A.

We hope to have another chance of recognition in a week or two. During the past 40 years this part of the county has succeeded in electing or having appointed seven men out of about 200 chosen during those years. It is not that we haven’t tried, but because we have not received enough votes east of Rieth Ridge. Most of those elected or appointed have served four years —or a total of 800 term years. In this end, except for one man who served four years, the terms have been only two years, or a total of 16 term years. The entire official family now lives in Pendleton or right by. In the meantime we have created many millions of dollars in tax valuations out of raw sage- brush lands and have developed a wide variety of interests that should have closer representation. It was alleged in Pendleton Tuesday evening at a meeting that the men chosen there were fair minded and well represented all parts of the county.
