Umatilla Dam
Certain This Year
West Tells Club
Opposition to Bill Now
Removed; Appropria-
ton Sure to Come

There Is no question In my mind
but that congress will authorize
and pass the Umatilla Dam this
session said II. q. West this noon
at q meeting OF the chamber OF
commerce. -..
MIR. West has but recently re-
turned from O trip TO Washington,
d. c., where he went to lobby for
the project, representing the In
land Waterways Association. The
measure has been passed by the
committee and win come on the
floor of the house on wednesday
Of next week, West said.
Cost OF construction OF the dam
has been placed at $23,7o0,00o, he
stated, and this cost will be charg-
ed to navigation only, as the high
er structure, which win provide for'
the generation of power is not In
Guided In the present plans. The
dam. according to the testimony tn
troduced at the hearing before the
committee, Is necessary to aid IN
the development OF the inland ter
ritory, thereby providing markets
for the electricity to be generated
at the Bonneville and Coulee pro-
jects.
Mr.. West said that the construc-
ton OF the Umatilla Dam Is the
first step in the complete develop
ment OF the Columbia and Snake
rivers. The next logical step win
be the construction OF the Five
Mile Dam In the Snake River at
an estimated cost of eleven million,
the construction period on each be-
ing estimated at three and half
years. Completion OF the entire
development viii require rs years.
Mr.. West said.
That the project will be justified
from an economic standpoint, he
said, is evidenced by the fact that
already the railroads have petition
ed for a reduction OF as percent
in freight rates on petroleum prod
ucts to this point from the seaboard-
With q similar reduction on other
commodities construction costs
could well be justified, he stated.
4 10 receive the fullest benefits
from the improvements already
constructed, the development Of the
upriver territory is necessary, Mr..
West said was brought out in the
testimony before the committee.
Already ocean-going vessels can
come up the Columbia, since the
construction Of the Bonneville dam.
as far as The Dalles. From The
Dalles to Umatilla a 300-foot chan
mel seven feet deep has been
dredged out. To complete the pro-
ject boats must be able TO run a
far up the Snake as Lewiston, the
committee was told.

End of Perfect Friendship.

exandria-Emmett Dritlor of Mis-
souri, and Jack Nelson of Minneapolis
were pals; they bummed their way from
the west coast together and when they
reached Alexandria and slept togther
friendship ceased. Nelson slept later
than Dritlor and when he arose he
hitch-hiked to his home in Minneapolis.
Here he discovered that the suit most
admired by his pal was missing. He
returned to Alexandria where he had
a warrant made out for his friend.
Dritlor professed that he borrowed the
clothes without asking Emmett, but
nevertheless had to return them and
furnish his friend with transportation
to Minneapolis.
