BOOSTING FOR
UMATILLA PROJECT
Meeting Held in Walla Walla for
Purpose of Launching Cam
paign-PendletOn Saturday

For the purpose of launching cam
paign for the development of the big
Umatilla Rapids power and irriga-
tion project, meeting of represen-
tatives from several interested COM
munities was held in Walla Walla,
Tuesday. Kennewick was represented
by B. E. Reser, w. H. Gascoigne and
X. c.. Clifford.
Salient features of the project were
presented by Mayor George Hartman,
E. B. Aldrich, editor of the East Ore
gonian, Judge Stephen A. Lowell, and
other prominent citizens of Pendleton,
who urged widespread attendance at
another meeting to be held in Pendle-
ton, February 5. 't
The Umatilla project is proposal
to harness the Umatilla Rapids to de-
velop cheap power, irrigation of
thousands acres of land and remove
distractions to ! navigation. The
speakers declared that the project is
the most feasible and cheapest pro-
ject on the Columbia river. A sur
vey made several years ago by State
Engineer Lewis, Of Oregon, provides
for the irrigation of $4,000 acres of
land, all but 10000 acres of which
are in Washington. Included in the
project are several thousand acres Of
land in Benton county.

of the work on the reclamation act is
any more appropriate by the Legion
than review and report of the high
way work of the state highway COM
missioner would be, or report on any
other state official concerning matters
which do not materially affect our
membership. However, if the member
ship of the Legion or if the state ex-
ecutive committee should determine
that such an investigation and report
are expedient and justified, then
think you will agree with me that the
report should contain facts, figures,
and authority to justify the statements
contained in the report. The majority
report does not disclose the source of
its information. Neither does it give
the names of individuals who made
many of the statements set forth in
the report. Neither does it give reas-
ons or justification for many unquali-
fled conclusions"
Here Mr.. Jeffrey takes up a num-
ber of these conclusions which he
points out are purely engineering
questions with no engineering author
ity quoted or even suggested.
Further in the report, the writer
says: eff the information furnished
the chairman concerning the other dis
tricts is an inaccurate as it is concern
ing the Richland and Kennewick dis
tricts, then the report is certainly far
from presenting the true facts. / do

KNIGHTS HAVE
GALA TIME AT
CONVENTION
Meeting Here is Largest and
Most Enthusiastic Ever Held
in Eleventh District
KENNEWICK WINS TROPHY
Local Lodge Carries off High Honors
in Ritualistic Competition
Meet in Sprague in 1922

The most largely attended, enthus-
iastic, and altogether successful
gathering Of Knights of Pythias in
this part of the state, was the annual
district convention held in this city on
Tuesday afternoon and night. Six,
of the seven lodges of the district,
which includes Adams, Benton, and
Franklin and the western half of Wal
la Walla county, We're represented by
200 Knights. ~'~~
The big feature of the afternoon
session was an inspirational address
given by Grand Chancellor Howard
Patience, of Spokane, who plead for
the everyday practice of the great
principles of friendship, charity and
benevolence upon which the order is
founded. Mr.. Patience, who is, the
orders youngest grand chancellor, re-
ceived an ovation when he arose to
speak. He was followed by Grand
Keeper of Records and Seals Harry
Love, of Colfax who told of the growth
of the order in this state, more new
members having been added during
1920 than in any other year since the
Washington domain was created Gus
Niece, Imperial Basha of the ID. o. K.
K, an auxiliary order of the Knights
of Pythias, spoke of the activities and
good work of that order.
Reports of delegates showed that
every lodge in this district is steadily
growing alike in numbers and en-
thusiasm.
The wives, mothers and sisters of
the Kennewick Knights won unqual-
flied praise from the visitors because
of the excellent banquet which they
served in the Baptist church. These
ladies, however, Were forced to di-
vide honors with Miss Jarshaw, di-
rector of music in the local public
schools, who entertained with num-
Der of popular songs. She was greet
ed with storms of applause, and re-
called again and again for encores.
Not only were three encores and more
encores but at the pleadings OF, the
crowd for, "Another little song,
please, she repeated her entire pro-
gram. When Miss Jarshaw wasn't
singing music was furnished by X.
of p. orchestra under the direction of
Walter Hessler and Francis Stout.
In competitive ritualistic work, the
Kennewick lodge again carried off
first honors and was awarded the
loving cup which was offered several
years ago and which must be won
three successive years to become the
permanent property of any lodge.
Kennewick has now won two years in
succession. This year the team scored
a total of 1850, out of possible 1400
points and the lowest marking of any
man in the team was 90. Pasco
was second, Connell third and Lind
fourth. In the individual contests, j.
C. Perry, Kennewick, won as Sixth
Senator; Kight Graham, Pasco, in the
Lesson of Friendship and Knight
Campbell, Lind, as Pythagorous.
Next years convention will be held
in Sprague.

THE BOARDS CRIME

~CCORDING to the evidence fur
ii nished by the Spokesman-Re-
x;ew. the state reclamation board is
euiIty on two counts a crime of
commission, the other Of omission.
rhe board functioned- accomplished
,amething tangible therefore it is
~;lty in the first instance. The board
tiled to dump all monies at its dis
,sal into the Columbia Basin jackpot,
70, it is guilty again.
When the board was created it was
Inn. in addition to $4,000 for over
IA and operating expenses, a fund
7 100000 for the purpose of devel-
.oinc the agricultural resources of the
ate by the reclamation of waste
lmds. -. ssyss ~.
Thus created and equipped two
ourses of action were open to the
hoard. The members could warm the
nshions at Olympia and do nothing,
Or they could function as they were
intended to function, by putting both
themselves, and the funds at their
command, the work. They elected to
follow the second course and went to
work
Right here, it would be interesting
10 know Just exactly what the critics
Of the board expected it to do. 1t had
s50o,OOo to expend for reclamation.
What could it have done with that
amount? Is there project in the
state it could have built for that sum ?
Is there project in the state which
it would have been justified in
starting on continuing contract ba-
sis with an expenditure of $500, 900
per year? Is there project in the
state, the construction of which will
add materially to the states agricul-
tural development, that could have
been built upon this basis, in less than
eight or ten years? Would the board
have been justified in tying up to any
ono project all funds which under the
law it is permitted to raise during
decade, to the exclusion of all other
projects?
If the legislatson, by which the
state reclamation board was created,
was sound; if the judgment of the
legislators who cast their votes for the
measure, ,-and the vote was unani-
nous, was correct, there must have
been an apparent need, for some such
organization, In other words, some
thing must have been the matter with
reclamation in this state. The matter
was that the demand and need for re-
claimed lands had outstripped recla-
nation. It was patent to all that to
wait upon the slow processes of U. S.
reclamation was to greatly retard and
delay development of the states nat
wal resources. The slowness of u. S..
reclamation, however, was not the
great vital factor in the reclamation
problem. The real trouble was that
ae public, especially the investing
public, the men of means and money,
he'd lost confidence in private irriga-
aon enterprises. 1t matters not how
why public confidence had been
tstroyed. The fact remains that con-
