THE UNIATILLA EXTENSION.

It seems there is an excellent chance
for the extension of the Umatilla pro-
ject provided the irrigation bond
measure is passed by congress. In the
report just submitted by the secretary
of the interior the extension is placed
in the list Of projects likely to be
undertaken in the event of favorabla
action by congress. Whether or not
congress will pass the bond measure
remains to. be seen. In view though
Of the fact that the measure is back
cd by the entire west and also has the
endorsement of the administration it
looks like it has fairly smooth sail
ing.
In the present situation there is
certainly reason for felicitation. If
the Umatilla project can be extended
so as to take in 5000 acres or more
on the west side of the river it will
mean much to Umatilla county and
10 eastern OItSOu' iiS Dl6 NCSC4 :
will be converted into a fertile valley
and there will be myriads of little
farm homes where only coyotes and
badgers now abound.
Some idea of what the extension Of
the project will mean may be gather
ed from a comparison of the acreage
now being reclaimed in the west end
to that proposed for reclamation un-
der the project extension. At this
time the total irrigation area of the
west end comprises less than $4,000
acres and of this only portion is now
being watered. Should the govern
ment take up the extension Of the
project upwards Of $4,000 acres more
will be reclaimed at an estimated ex-
pense Of two and a half millions of
dollars With the project extended
the west end irrigated section will be
made to comprise from 125,000 to
10000 acres of land adapted to the
most intensive farming Such a dis
trict would be capable of supporting
come 10000 or $1,000 families.
1t may be timely to remark here
that the degree of benefit Pendleton
will derive from the extension of the
project and from the reclamation
work now being carried on must de-
pend largely upon the sort Of trans
portation connections between this
city and the west end. Much Of the
business of that great region will bt
for Pendleton II rapid transit con
nections are supplied so that the bus
mess may flow to this city.

And pitifully feign to weep

To be my friend.

SAVING THE SECONDS.

In this day and age of high speed
tools and skilled workmen. time Is
the most valuable asset in any fac
tory or manufacturing plant For
tunes have been made from former
scrap heaps. thousands of dollars have
been saved where no one dreamed
there was penny's worth of econ
omy and today the precious seconds,
wasted for so many years in the bus
lest and best factories are being
saved and made new asset. For the
collecting and saving of these valu-
able atoms of time not only lessons
the cost Of production but increases
the output Of the factory
Manufacturing is now almost en-
tirely the product Of machines Of al
most human intelligence. The
skilled lahorers have little else TO do
than to bring the work to the ma
chimes and see that the device is run
ing smoothly and properly. Right
here is where a great many seconds
of valuable time were formerly lost
for not infrequently the work was so
large and so heavy it took many min
utes to arrange it on a drill press, or
other machine. for some trivial little
thing such as boring small hole
through q certain part. This work
was altogether too arduous for hand
tools
Here came the man who specializ-
es on saving seconds and invented the
motor-driven portable drill so that
{ the machine could be easily carried
/ to the work and the holes drilled
without handling the heavy castings
The type of portable drill such as are
being used extensively in factories
| foundries and machine shops, consists
| Of a small alternating current motor
no larger than a pint cup direct con-
nectcd to the drill head. The device
/ is fitted with suitable handles and a
breast plate and it will drill three
eighth inch hole one inch deep ir
cast iron in less than twenty-sever
seconds. II will drill the same size(
hole in steel in a minute and hal
and will drill a hole through an oal
block as though it was made o

THEY'LL BE CHIEF LOSERS.

1t is a familiar saying that the
greatest obstacle to any Improvement,
whether in the realm Of business or
government, is always found in the
indifference Of people who have the
most to gain from the Improvement.
This is certainly proving true with re-
spects to the attitude of property
owners to the traction movement.
1t is plain that the greater part OF
the benefit resulting from the estab-
liehment of traction system here
will be for the men owning Local
realty. Their holdings will be en-
hanced In value. II they want tc
sell they will be able to sell at higher
figures than are now possible. Thos'
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-02-15

who have property for rent will be
able to collect larger rentals.
Yet in spite of these facts pone of
the big local realty owners have yet
come to the support of the traction
movement. Business men and realty
owners with moderate holdings have
been generous and enthusiastic in
supporting the movement. But the
big ones remain aloof. Some are Bit
ter and prejudiced over prohibition
and assign this as a reason why they
will not give. 1t is a poor excuse be-
cause there is 20 more connection
between the traction movement and
the LIQUOR issue than there is between
Noah's ark and the newly discovered
fourth disease" Probably the real
reason why the big property owners
fail to subscribe to the traction fund
is that actuated by narrow selfish
ness they hope to have their neigh
bors bear the burden while they, the
property owners, reap the benefits.
But the merchants and small property
owners of this city cannot give the
entire amount necessary to finance the
Pendleton end of the traction system.
Unless the big property owners are
willing to bear at least a portion OF
their Just share of the expense the
movement will probably fail. Should
the move fail there will be some con-
ISOLATION in the fact that the heav!
property owners will be the CHIEF
sufferers from their own folly.

MIR. SHAW'S VIEW.

Former Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw says that should a central bank
be established it will be controlled
by the Standard Oil crowd. He fur
ther asserts that the Standard Oil
company and the United states steel
corporation could well afford to pay
off the entire national debt if given
a perpetual charter for a central
bank. Mr.. Shaw was secretary Of the
treasury under Roosevelt. He seems
to have opinions decidedly different
from those shared by the present ad-
ministrauon. Was it not in his speech

ed, at least in measure, the scheme
