With almost 10 per cent Of IN

centrated in this one local, Il
is a prize that can carry with
it uncontested control Of the

So far neither faction has
ever managed TO secure more
tina about go per cent of the
locals delegates TO a UAW-cIO
convention. Thus the hug e
weight Of the local has been
cancelled out by its internal dis
unity. Control of the top offices

Columbia Basin Studied

Columbia Basin Studied
According to the literature put
out by the Milwaukee's land set
Element department, the greatest
land Of promise of all was the Big
Bend country, as the region was
then known which has since been
advertised ins connection with the
Grand Coulee dam as the ''COlum-
bia Basin" The possibility of ir-
rigating it early caught the imag-
inaton of reclamation enthusiasts,
and in 1903 the reclamation SER
vice made an investigation of the
region. Among the engineers who
studied it were those who consid-
cred the possibility of building a
dam in the Columbia river at the
head of Grand Coulee. However,
the project was too large to be
seriously considered at that time
and the report of the investigating
did not favor action.
A lesser project studied about
that time was favorably reported
on, although no action was ever
taken on it. This was the Palouse
project, which proposed reservoirs
at the headwaters of the Palouse
river and use of the waters of that
river to irrigate some $4,000 acres
lying largely in Franklin county
north of the Snake river.

study helped to advertise the Big
Bend country and settlers poured
in by the thousands, fling on prac-
tically all the land then unappro-
priated within the space of two
or three years. The central part
of the region was roamed by bands
of horses, virtually wild, and set
Element meant that these had to be
rounded up and somhow disposed
of. This was accomplished in
1906 in the last big roundup of
Washington history. One gets a
glimpse of it in the following bit
of "reminiscences of Mary RoSen-
:vrance of Pasco, taken from "Told
by the Pioneers"
81 rode in many roundupS, but
the longest one was when I rode
with 500 cowboys for that last
roundup when the Big Bend was
thrown open to settlement. Over
1000 head of horses carried our
brand, the Bark. We were four
or five months in the saddle and
the last great band Of horses IN
Washington was taken off the
range"
And the next stage is graphical
ly told in another "Reminiscences
from the same source by Henry
Horn of Adams county, who says:
"When I first arrived in this
country, settlers were starting to
build shacks on their homesteads
from any kind of lumber avail
able. This was very expensive
material because of the very great
distance it had to be hauled, and
the poor condition of the road.
The boards were battened with
any kind of paper available, most
ly newspapers. The furniture was
crude; mattresses were filled with
straw and bunch grass. Fuel was
mostly sagebrush. Clothing was
Of rough denim and the cheapest
of split leather work shoes. Trans
portation was by wagon and horse
back and some used the recently
completed railr0ad-provided they
could afford the fare. The food
was plain but substantial, as the

Old timers in the Columbia Ba-
sin all have similar stories to tell.
and they concur in picturing the
settlement of this region as a mass
movement. Homestead shacks
sprouted up like mushrooms,
fences were strung out along pro-
perry lines and the work of clear
ing sagebrush and blowing the
virgin soil went forward as fast
as the strength of the settlers and
their meagre cash reserves would
permit. The same thing was going
on in every section of the North
west, where there was any hope
of developing farms.
A large part of the new popu-
lation which came to the region
during that decade settled on farm
land. In Oregon the census of
1910. showed $500 farms as com.
pared with 5,837 in 1900, gain
of nearly ten thousand. Washing
ton boasted more than fifteen
thousand new farms, and Idaho
and Montana gained about thir-
teen thousand each.
Added to the promotional work
of the railroads and the reclama-
ton program of the government,
another incentive to farming was
the development of farm machin-
cry was coming into vogue, and
agricultural experiment stations
were being established to provide
scientific information and guild
ance. Probably the greatest stim-
ulus to increase in farm popula-
lation was the back-to-the-land
movement following the depres-
sion of 1907.
Farmers and Pro1Eoseivism
The number of farms in no
proof that all these people were
farmers. In fact it was a time
when wage earners, preachers,
and all manner Of persons without
previous farm experience had
caught the homestead fever" and
were trying their hand at farming.
Needless to say many failed, not
only because of drought years, but
due to poor management, insuffic-
lent capital and inexperience.
Yet out of it came crops of ideas.
The ferment of such a hetrogen-
Gus population energized the
thinking of the entire region and
helped bring about important So

In these movements the Oranges
had taken a leading part. The Ore
gon State Grange had taken an
active part in the pioneering work
which brought about the direct
primary. The Washington State
Grange, which came inc being In
1889 as Washington was setting up

that the great influx of people

Atom Energy Production

CHICAGO, May 4 R,. The
worlds first atomic pile designed
specifically to produce power by
generating high temperatures has
reached the blueprint stage, the
University Of Chicago announced
today.
The atomic pile, which was de-
signed at the university's metal
lurgical laboratory. will be con-
structed at Oak Ridge, Tenn, one
of the two huge plants built for
production of the atomic bomb.
Maj. Gen. Leslie r. Groves, who
directed production Of the atomic
bomb, disclosed recently that 81
100000 would be spent on the
power production experiment at
Oak Ridge.
DR.. harrington Daniels, director
of the metallurgical laboratory and
one of the designers of the expert
mental pile, said that at present
the cost of producing atomic energy
would not enable 1t to compete
economically with coal, but that
new developments might change the
picture.
ut is for outlying regions where
transportation is difficult and for
locations where neither coal nor
water power is easily available that
atomic power plants will probably
find their first USE" he said.

Mothers Plan Appeal
To Education Board
For Nursery Projects

A committee of working mothers
planned last night to appeal to the
Board of Education to reverse its
decision that the current system of
day care centers are "community
Welfare"-not educational-projects
and therefore do not belong under
the sponsorship of the school board
Meeting last night at Pierce Hall,
Sixteenth and Harvard streets NV.
the mothers announced they would
send petitions for continuance of
the centers under Board of Educa-
ton jurisdiction past June 80 to
Chairman Mcmillan of the House
District Committee, Mrs. Henry
Grattan Doyle, president of the
Board of Education, and DR.. Ho-
bart M. Corning, superintendent of
schools.
The boards action was taken
Wednesday, when the District Com
missioners asked its opinion of q
bill proposed by Representative
Healy, Democrat, of California pro-
viding that the centers now operated
by the mothers become an integral
part Of the school system after June
30. A hearing on the bill will be
held by the House District Commit
tee at 1890 am Wednesday.
Supporting the appeal of the
mothers was DR.. Mary Dabney
Davis, senior specialist in child edu-
cation for the United States Office
Of Education. DR.. Davis said that
the District day care centers would
be considered educational" by the
standards set up by her office.
Mrs. Dorothy Thomson, chairman
OF the corporation Of mothers which
has the money to operate IA centers
through May 81, said her group had
not given up hope OF getting enough
money to keep the nurseries going
independently through June 80 and
after that to have them made a
permanent part of the regular school
system.
