Portland Chamber of Com
merce Members Told of Ben
efits From UmatiIIa Project.
PURPOSES OF PLAN
WERE ENUMERATED
Idaho and Washington Re-
claimed Lands Described to
Show the Hidden Wealth.

PORTLAND, Ore, June 26.-Some
of the possibilities for gain to Oregon
and Portland when the Umatilla pro-
ject is developed were explained today
to members of the Portland Chamber
oftCommerce when delegation from
Fendleton spoke in behalf OF the
huge project. Among the speakers
were Frederick Steiwer, attorney,
Judge Gilbert w. Phelps Of Pendieton
at present occupying the bench in one
OF the circuit courts in Multnomah,
and President Stephen B. Penrose OF
Whitman college.
Steiwer made the chief address of
the meeting, and his efforts were cen-
tered in showing the results attained
in districts where irrigation and rec
lamation have been put into effect.
The text of Steiwer's speech in part
was as follows:
''Fsor the purposes of this argument
it is sufficient to say that the Umatil-
In Rapids Project is a proposal to span
the Columbia River at the Cmatilla
Rapids which are located just above
the confluence of the Umatilla River
and about $50 miles East of Portland
Possibly the development should be
at the Devils Bend Rapids which are
lacted Just below Umatilla. Naturally
no detailed plans have yet been for
nlulated for the installation of the
plant. 1t probably, however, viii
carry with it the construction of an
Interstate bridge and will have for its
main purpose the Development of the
hvdra-cIectric power which may be
developed by impounding the waters
OF the river at the raDids
THE dam will be something like 80
feet in heighth and the dam and plant
will cost, in accordance with the pre-
liminary estimates, somewhere from
S26, 900, 900 to $S0:000,00O. The United
states engineers have collected COM
plete data concerning the river flow
az all stages of water. There is to
exceed 10000 cubic feet of water per
second at the very lowest stage and
Z the power development at low water
stage x is 1850 continuous horse
power. At main high water it rs
around 400, 900 continuous horse
power and in times of flood it is esti-
mated that approximately one-half
million horse power may be developed
by the installation which has been
contemplated.
Hydro electric development on this
great scale means cheap power. The
estimated cost varying in inverse ratio
with the amount of power produced
