ION Prudence bonds. Issued by the Prud-
ence Company, Inc, 81 Nassau Street. New
York City. Do you consider these bonds

excellent facilities for making thor

That the Upper Columbia valleY

Lower Columbia valley inhabitants,

pressed today by J. II. Sturgis as
one of the results of the meeting held
yesterday at Portland when the pro-
jcct was discussed by local speakers
at a luncheon given by the Portland
Chamber of Commerce.
Portland made it evident that the
project is interesting at least" Stur-
gis said, "and one thing we have
been trying to accomplish for long
while is to get the port city inter
csted in this big scheme to develop
hydro-electric power and to reclaim
arid land"
The speech of Fred Steiwer was
given very careful attention by Port
landers. Sturgis declared. DR.. Ste
phen Penrose, president of Whitman
/ college, was one of the other speak
ers.
Judge Phelps told me after the
executive meeting following the lun-
cheon that the Portland Chamber of
Commerce is keenly interested in the
project and is ready to do everything
possible to see that it is pushed 10
the front where it will receive as
much consideration as can bc secured
for it," Mr.. Sturgis said.
