In part, follows: , "In my platform to the people of Ore gon m-hen I waa elected to the United Statea Senate, I pledged my efforts to secure Federal assistance for the con struction of the Oregon City locks, be lieving that the conditions justified such construction. I helped to eecure Congressional action authorizing a new survey and Investigation of this project Some three years ago I had several con ferences with the chief engineers rela tive to this project. No action waa taken by the House, nor. mo ar as I can learn, waa there any effort -made on the part of the Hotrse to secure an ap propriation In the river and harbor bill of April 20. 1910. "After the bill was made up in the House and came over to the Senate, at my request the Chief of Engineers tel egrsphlrnlly Instructed the district en gineer. Major Mclndoe. to come to Washington to submit to him and to the committee on commerce In the Senate, of which I am a member, such data as he had been able to collate and arrange at that tlnte. Bourne Claims Credit. "I talked personally with every mem ber of the committee on Commerce and In the Senate, explained to them the situation, and with the assistance of the explanation of Major Mclndoe and of Major Cavanaugh In the engineer'a office here, waa able to convince the committee on Commerce In the Senate of the merit of this proposition, and, at my request, the Senate committee on commerce amended the river and har bor bill aa It came over from the House." , Then Is given the clause- which Sen ator Bourne says was Inserted at hie request, providing for the purchase of the locks. "The 8enate adopted the amendment." wrltea the Senator. " and when tlie bill went Into conference the Senate con ferees Insisted that thla amendment be retained In the bill, which" was done, end It was adopted by Congress. You Kill understand that thla plain state ment of the actusl facts Incident to this project Is In no manner a reflection upon my colleague. Senator Chamber lain for It Is our arrangement that we? shall tske rare of all the mattera ap pertaining to the Interests of the Na tion or state that may come before-the commttteea of which we are members. "I have gone 'thus fully Into this mat ter because I have understood others have claimed credit for securing the adoption of this proJc. If any credit Is due to a public servaht for rendering the best services there Is In him In the way of public service, I am entitled to the credit In this matter, and unhesitat ingly assert that but for me and' my ef forts, no mention of this project would have appeared In the River and Harbor bill of April 1910, and but for my ef forts, even after the adoption by Con gress, the project would not be any where near Ha present stage of early action.'.'

M'COLLOCH NOT IN RACE Baker Senator Says He Will Xot Be" Candidate for Congress. 8ALEM. ' Or.. Aug. 26. (Special.) Senator Claude McColloch, of Baker, a Democrat, said positively today that he will not be a candidate for Repre sentative In Congrexs from the new district In Eastern Oregon, although his name has been mentioned frequent ly for the place. This means that McColloch, who is a holdover, will return to the State Sen ate at the next session of the Legisla ture, and it has been whispered that he may possibly become a candidate for the Senate Presidency. When asked relative to this today he was noncom mittal. It is probable that a lively fight will develop for that position at the next session, as already some of the mem bers have put out feelers toward their candldacv among the 13 holdover Sen ators. Walter Dimick will probably forego attempting to ooiain im6' slonal honorB in this district and grab for the plum held by President Selling. Senator Bean of Eugene is also consid ered as a likely candidate for that place and there has been some mention among the members of Senator Malarkey. al-. though he has not made an open state ment to that effect.
