No Money from
Congress Now
| for Umatina Dam
Executive Order is the
Only Hope for Action
This Year Reports H.
C.. West

Except by executive order, the
Umatilla Dam will not be started
this year, according to information
given the chamber of commerce this
noon, through a letter from H. @.
West, executive secretary Of the In
land Waterways Association. Mr..
West is in Washington now and has
arranged for an interview with the
President for today.
Mr.. West states that congress will
not consider a special appropriation
bill at this stage of the session and
funds from that source are out OF
the question at this time.
Further cold water was thrown
upon the enthusiasm Of local boost
ers for the dam by a statement
made by Senator G. F. Stimson OF
Pasco. He had just returned from
trip to Olympia to see about get.
ting the North Bank road cut thru
in anticipation of the traffic result
ing from the dam activity.
The senator said he talked with
a government engineer who stated
that even though the appropriation
was made available at once, 1t woule
require a year of preliminary worl
before actual construction could b'
] undertaken.
Mr.. Stinson did find out that fed.
eral aid could be secured for thu
North Bank road by changing thu
location so as to avoid five grade
crossings between Roosevelt ans
Carley. The road committee Of the
chamber was called and immediate
action will be undertaken to inves'
tigate the possibilities Of this In
formation.

ture Of myself astride q cayuse as

In Kennewick that can think OF
nothing which would give me more
pleasure than reminiscing with

this time of this fact so that my
good friends in Kennewick will not
depend upon my attendance and so

Jack. Il said hadn't done any dig
