diets E. G. Hopson.
NEWS REPORT CONFIRMED
Portland Officials Await Formal In

Eervising Engineer.

special board consisting of A. p.
ton service, d. c. Henny. consulting
engineer E. G.. Hopson, supervising
engineer; II. D. Newell, project engi-
neer and o. p Morton, legal expert,
will be in this county some time dur
ing January to hold meetings at Her
miston and perhaps in Pendleton for
the purpose of considering the West
Umatilla Extension. Upon the find
ings of the board will very likely rest
the fate of the Extension.
In a phone interview with the East
Oregonian today Z. G. Hopson, super
vising engineer, of Portland said:
"As yet I have received no orders
from the department and so 1 am not
informed in an official sense Yet /
have not the slightest doubt but that
the report of the appointment of the
special board is correct. am looking
for instructions within a day or two"
Should such orders be received"
declared Mr. Hopson we will proceed
within a short time to hold the meet
ings and they will probably be held
by the latter part of January. We
will have a meeting at Hermiston and
also at Pendleton if there is any de-
sire for one there"
The Report Confirmed
/ That Mr.. Hopson is correct in his
sUrmise that the newspaper reports OF
last week were authentic is born out
! by an "official" report received from
! Washington by the East Oregonian
1 The report is from department circles
and is identical with the story which
appeared in the oregon Journal and
this paper last week. 1t is dated
| Washington, December 2l, and is as
! follows:
In a letter to the president today
| the secretary of the interior announc-
es that he will convene Board OF
Engineers of the Reclamation Service
at the earliest practicable date To
| thoroughly consider the report of the
preliminary Investigation recently
made of the West Extension of the
Umatilla irrigation project, Oregon.
| The board will probably consist OF
| Chief Engineer \. p. Davis, Consult
| ing Engineer ID. c. Henny, Supervis-
! ing Engineer e. G.. Hopson, Project
! Engineer II. d. Newell, and o. p
Morton, legal expert. Its meetings
will be held on the project
In view of the number of petitions
for and against the extension of thi,
project which have been received by
the department, it is probable thai
several open meetings will be held tc
thoroughly canvass the situation, anC
| give all Interested parties an oppor.
| tunity to be heard.
| The board will have before it sever
a! alternative propositions for consid
Grafton, ana will make an early repor
for the approval of the secretary. II
the meantime work will be continued
on extensions of the project east of tn,
river, assuming that suitable arrange
ments can be made with the lane
owners.

NEEDS0F LOCAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY IS
POINTED OUT BY JUDGE STEPHEN LOWELL

Judge stephen A. Lowell, who is a
member of the state historical society,"
would have the Pend.eton CONNER
cial association or some other civic
organization take the lead in form
ing a historical society in this county
for the purpose of delving into the
pa securing such information as is
available on the early history of this
section of the state and preserving it
for future generations. He points out
that the pioneers who were the first
settlers on the broad acres of Una
tilla county are fast passing away and
that it is almost sin to allow them
to go down to their graves with their
historical secrets locked in their
breasts.
Such an attempt as Judge Lowell
suggests was made year or so ago
but was not carried to success, How
ever. the judge believes that there are
enough men in the county interested
in the early history of their land to
launch such an organization IL the
Commercial association would take
the lead in the matter. He believes
slight error was made in the East
Oregonian story of yesterday relative
to the date of the arrival of the first
white men at the headwaters of the
Umatila river. He is of the opinion
that the date was January Z, 1912,
and suggests that date of the ap-
preaching new year as one for q GEN.
tennial meeting in his city.
The following Is Judge Lowell's
communication to this paper:
