AND THE
UMATILA PROJECT
Cast oregOnian.)

POrtland's enthusiasm over the posi-
bilities offered by the Umatilla Rapids
project has apparently been aroused.
News stories carried in the Portland
newspapers, and oral reports brought to
Pendleton by local men who attended
the luncheon when Fred Steiwer and
Doctor Penrose spoke all bear testimony
that the Rose City is interested. Follow
ing is an editorial carried by the Oregon
Journal yesterday on the rapids:
an Portland Monday were men from
Pendleton to enlist local interest in the
Umatilla Rapids power project.
When they return to the Roundup
City they should be able to report that
Portland's interest was instant, enthus-
iastic and substantial.
Portland's visitors represent the larg-
est practicable power project in the
Northwest today. As the center Of q
market already partially prepared. as
means Of irrigation, as an agency of
electrifeation Of railroads in Oregon
and Washington, as an aid to beat trans
portation on the Columbia, as the ener-
gizer of possible nitrate works and other
Industries, and as a source of cheap
power, heat and illumination for cities
| and towns in a zone comprehended by
Portland, Spokane, Tacoma and Seattle,
the Umatilla Rapids project is unique
and compelling.
A descent of the Columbia II feet in
IL 1-2 miles creates Umatilla Rapids
| about three miles above the old Umatilla
boat landing. A dam which will raise
the low water level Of the Columbia 80
feet would supply water by gravity or
pumping for now non-productive area
of several hundred thousand acres. 1t
would provide 100000 horsepower II
| months of the year and 100000 horse
power during the season when 250,O00
| horsepower would be needed for irriga-
| tion pumping. 1t would electrify all the
railroads of Oregon, if desired. 1t would
double the navigability of the Columbia
between Cello and the mouth of Snake
river.
From such project reserve current
could be fed into Portland at a cost so
low that no other form of energy, heat
or illumination would be as cheap. 1t
would make Portland in literal truth the
electric city of the world.
The project is big enough to thrill
the Imagination, but not so formidable
as to rob it of practically. The Koekuk
dam in Mississippi is greater engin-
eering feat than that proposed in the
Columbia at Umatilla Rapids, but the
per-second-foot flow of the Columbia is
double that of the Mississippi at Keo-
kuk
The Umatilla project is one that
would pay its way in the Columbia basin
under conditions prevailing now, but it
would prove the mightiest engine OF de-
velopment and the greatest stimulart
to colonization yet devised for the Nor
Invest.

SEVEN BILLION
CROP INDICATED
This Is Based on August Prices
and Exceeds 1921 Figure
by 1,2OO,OOO,OOO.
CORN YIELDS S1,e42,948, 900
Estimate for Wheat Is $751; ,655 900,
Hay $1,o7s, 100000 and Potatoes
$505, 12o, ,000-Eig Increase for Cot
ton-Figure Put at 81, ,17e, 900 900.

Washington.-The bumper produc-
ton of the nations crops forecast by
the governments August crop report
will add almost exactly $1,000, 100000
to the value of this years farm prod
ucts compared with those of 1921.
Seventeen of these crops, if they meet
expectations, would be worth $7,134,-
6o4, 900 on the basis Of August market
prices. The same seventeen crops last
year were worth $5,935, ,S61 600 on the
basis of the August figures of last
year. The crops for which this esti-
mate of value is made are those of
wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye, buck
wheat white and sweet potatoes, fax,
hay, wild hay, cotton, apples, peaches,
peanuts, sorghums and tobacco. 1t
does not include sugar beets, rice,
vegetables and other crops.
These figures are predicated upon no
setback in the condition of crops,
which have had remarkably favorable
growing conditions this summer, and
are based on the value Of farm prod
ucts at the beginning of August, COM
pared with the worth of the same
kinds of crops one year ago.
The most valuable of this years
crops is corn. The department es.i-
mates that there will be 3,O17 100000
bushels of corn. On the basis of the
present average market price of GA
cents bushel, this crop alone will be
worth s1,942, ,94S,00O. The production
of corn last year was 3,0S0,0O0,OOO
bushels which, at 61.7 cents bushel,
was worth $1,S9O,OO0,OOO. Only four
times before has the American corn
crop gone above the 100000, 600
bushel mark. That was first accom-
plished in 1912, when the yield was
3,124,746,O00 bushels. In 1917, also in
1920 and 1921 it was again achieved.
Here is the estimated value of the
estimated crops for the seventeen prin-
cipal crops covered in the announce
ment by the Department of Agricul-
ture for the year 1922, based on Au-
gust, 1922, figures, as compared with
the 1921 yield and the August market
values of that year:

CONFERENCE OF ALLIES
ENDS IN DISCORD.
London Meeting Agrees Only to
Disagree on Question of Mora
torium for Germany.
Great BTitain's Representative
on Warfare Laws Revision

London.-The thirteenth allied con-
ference on German reparations broke
down, agreeing to disagree" as the
spokesman for both France and Great
Britain put it, there having been a
complete lack of unanimity on the i'm
portant points discussed.
From its commencement the confer
ence seemed predestined to failure, ac-
cording to the view expressed by close
observers of, the situation, and these
observers are of the opinion that the
failure indicates utter incompatibility
between the policies of Great Britain
and France toward Germany.
To what extent the recent note Of
the Earl of Balfour contributed to the
results is partly evidenced by the line
of the eleventh hour attempt by Signor
Schanzer, the leading Italian delegate,
at mediation with Premier Lloyd
George at Chequers Court Sunday,
when the Italian Foreign Minister pro-
posed that discussion of moratorium
for Germany and cognate matters
should be adjourned until after the
various countries had carried out their
debt funding negotiations with the
United States.
Lloyd George submitted this PROPOSE
ton to the conference, but, although it
was supported by the other delegates,
it was opposed by Premier Poincare,
and thereuDon LLOYD George declared
he was unable to agree to an adjourn
ment of the conference without
moratorium.
What will happen now is the ques-
ton of most of the observers of the
situation. NJ Poincare says he does
not know that he is not prepared to
talk of what France can or might do
until he has reflected and taken coun-
sci with the French cabinet.
