Schwellenbach to
Plead Case for
Umatilla Dam
To Seek Funds for Con-
struction of Single
Unit Only .... e..

Pinning hopes on Senator SchweI-
lenbach's persuasive powers, back
ers OF the Umatilla Dam have sent
him to Washington to meet tho
President upon his return from
fishing. The senator will ask for an
appropriation OF but s14ooO,ooo for
the construction OF the Umatilla
project as separate unit, rather
than for the money for the series OF
dams.
The Inland Empire Waterways
Association has secured Senator
Schwellenbach's cooperation and he
is now on his way east to be ON
hand when the President arrives.
Under the impression that the
money for the single unit in the
river development can be secured
because of its smaller outlay, the
association is confident that the
senator will be successful In his
quest once the necessity for the
work is properly presented to the
president. Requests that have been
refused were for the larger amounts
and contemplated the series OF
dams rather than the first unit
only.
To give the senator further back
ing residents Of the district are be-
ing asked to write or telegraph him
at washington, detailing the neces-
sity for Its construction. Armed
with such local demands, It is felt
his argument will carry more weight

Residents Urged to
Burn Cheat on Lots

The fire boys OF the local fire de-
partment are cautioning residents
about cheat fires. Fire Chief Pratt
states that because the weed Is 30
dry and the growth is so heavy it
can easily catch fire In this hot
weather and when once started It
goes fast. The fire department has
spent considerable time In burning
several Of these weed patches and
they think that with the cooperation
Of the citizens In keeping these
small patches burned there viii be
added protection against fires.
The department was called to the
]. n. Siegfried residence Wednes-
day afternoon, the fire being some
cheat which caught fire around
some lumber In the back yard. The
cause was not known but the fire
was put out within q few minutes
after the call was made.

Henderson lives at Tacoma. He
formerly was q newspaper man,
first in Walla Walla and then In

that Henderson broke into state
wide prominence when he sought
to have the state legislature de-
fine Kennewick as an ocean port

Mr.. Henderson afterward became

Need Control Of
Spud Crop to
Hold Up Prices
No Need for Less than $40
for Crop, Says w.
C. MuldrOw

With the early potatoes selling at
$l6 to $lS out-of- the-car In Seattle
the past ten days or 50, . few OBJ
servations are In order, states q
communication from w. Q. Muldruw
project manager 1t Benton city
Mr.. Muldrow has been q close OBJ
server Of crop conditions and the
message = . further explanation OF
the situation outlined In these col
umns this spring.
First, he says, the much reviled
Early Potato Code Committee Of
1884 got under way on July Ind OF
that year, and set an out-of-the-car
price Of so In the Sound cities and
stopped eonsignment. This Was In
creased . - On Js1iy f2tlf.
These prices were quite successful
~ maintained until the early deal
was over. Aug. 18th, when the
committee closed its work. The
writer believed at the time that this
work had held up the price Of early
potatoes to the extent Of - or IS q
ton. The action OF the market In
surplus years since confirms that
belief.
It is quite impossible to set and
maintain . price higher than SO
or $23 in Seattle in times of surplus
without control Of the California
Shafter district. This price shuts
them out. as their higher freight
rate leaves too little 1T loading
point. But let the price rise to S26
or so and they start rolling again
for Seattle.
This happened about July this
year. There is q limited trade in
the cities which viii buy Skaters,
even at - q sack when Yakima
Cobblers are selling at 81 or less.
They are more attractive potatoes.
But they are not practical compe-
tition below SO ton. All reduction
below that price is brought about
by our own competition among our
selves; between our own organiza-
tions and shippers.
There is no reason why the price
Of Yakima valley early spuds should
ever go below about SO In the pick
up sacks, II all were handled thru
any single agency. It would make
little difference whether that ag-
ency were a cooperative or q broker,
provided It were honest and rea-
intelligent.
What will the grower get, who |
furnished those $l8-in-Seattle po-
tatoes? Well. figure It out: i

(FIFTH SERIES)

Machines have been in the limelight pret- ty much recently and there has been good deal of misleading talk about them. One fallacious notion about machines is that they cut down the amount of employment that greater use of machines in industry means a smaller number of jobs.
 It is important that we know the truth about this, for without question machines have deeply affected all industry and it's individual wage earners. The facts show that besides making life easier for working men, machines also create new opportunities for employment and actually increase the total number of jobs. In this process, ad- yertising is very important factor
 About the time of the American Civil War our industries began to change from neighborhood shops with hand labor to the modern factory system, equipped with ma chimes run by power. From the very begin ming of this movement there were always some people raising the cry that machines put men out of work. But that has not happened, for the simple reason that ma- chine-made goods were sold at lower prices, more people bought them, and more men were employed to make them.
 Not long ago all window glass was manu- factured through the lung power of human glass blowers Now it is all made by the use of huge glass-making machines. The cost is much less and so much glass is used that many more men are employed in the industry than formerly. At the last census, 98,000 persons were employed in glass factories.
 Shortly after the Civil War the amount of

mechanical power used to operate machines in American industries was only l 1/1O horse power for every wage earner. Sixty years later there was 9/1O horse power per wage earner As result the amount of work turned out by each man rose so rapidly during this period that the value added by manufacture increased from $658 per wage earner to $3,600. In other words, the mechanical power used in industry increased more than four-fold per worker and the output per worker increased more than five fold.
 And in the meantime, what happened to employment? In the same period the popu- lation of our country increased 3 1/1O times and the number of persons gainfully occu- substituted machines and power for hand labor, the productivity of each worker in- creased and the number of jobs increased faster than the population. During this same period the annual earnings per worker were multiplied by nearly 4 41a.
 When we think of this tremendous prog ress it is well to remember that the greatly enlarged output of industry does not auto matically find market One of the most important factors in distributing the ever- increasing volume of goods is the use of advertising without which this mass dis tribution would be impossible. In way advertising is really key to our industrial progress. Many industries owe their growth directly to the power of advertising.
 The machine age means more things for more people and advertising is it's indspen- sable tool
