The party then return ed to the Columbine and those who de sired were taken out to sea to view tho Jetty vork from that side.

If y 'it hda tlm,. t" vl.! Ka.:crn t'n'gon you would the sectioti of ill- country th.it furnishes the great majority ol tne prottucts that conies ,1 iw n this channel to the sea. You would see thai section of the country hatidlcappe 1 by :h; fact that it has no water competition with the railroads. Although th- river extends far Into the Interior, ye; by reason of the Impedi ments at 1 ohm una tne I'alles It is not navigable to the people of the In terior, who are entitled to It. They are subject to railway transportation charges that are. at the present time. I am almost Justified In saying, prac tically prohibitive of production. So far is the riv-r does thorn any good they might have a solid mountain chain that would shut off all transportation aside from railway service. Hence we real ire the Importance of opening up and cleiring the obstructions In the upper river, and we ask the committee to give this matter their careful consideration So we stand here tonight, asking for the Improvement of the Columbia river bar and also the removal of all ob structions In the Columbia river so that the commerce of this great empire may move untrammelled and unvested to th? ports of the world. There Is a disease existing among the people of Astoria and of Fortland which I might call.'rlverphobia' or 'rlv erltus." And, It Is realy more dangerous than any other 'Itus' I have ever known, whether menlngitus or apivndlcltus. It affects people according to the locality In which they live. The Fortlander can only see the Importance of Improving the river between here and the Willam ette. The Astorlan can only see the necessity of Improvements at the mouth of the river. So 't Is a disease pecu liar to the section. I stand here to night, as I have always done, demand ing what Is best for all the people of Oregon and the great Northwest that the best possible channel be given to the mouth of the Columbia river.

That Is a re markable ttatetni-nt nevertheless true. Th'T L n il a single seap- r: n the I'.k iflc roas; t xcept tht mouth "f '.he 'plumbia riv r thar Is not enj -ying emmon ra'o's for the jhipment of lum-b-r. S me . p-ui: are disposed to take a narrow view and say that w would In- better off If we did n .t have the river at all. Tny say that !f we. only j had a splendid harbor a railruati would hav? pettn'.ra'.fd through ih mountaijis to lis long ago and common rates ex- t n led t us: but because the river exists we are denied these rates for our vast timb-r resources. The lumber manufacturer here who wish-s to gam a. -vest to the markets of the east when h" asks f .r rates finds that he Is d -nied th is" that ar- enjoyed by shippers at other points en the coast who are giv en exactly the same rates as Portland. Tacoma. etc. We have to pay a 1 ical rate between h-re and the city of Port land. I say, as I have sail all along, that Portland is entitled to have a ship chann-l from -h- mouth of the river to th' Willamette and up the Willam ette to Portland, and the best that mon ey an 1 means ran make i:. and at the sum- time the people here on the Sea coast ire entitl-d t have their facilities for shipping th- same as are enjoyed bv ev ry other port on the Pacific coast. I simply ask vou tonlghr, g-n-tlemen of P.rtliid. to aid in changing the c 'tiil.t: "ii of the past, and In brlng ine about a different order of things in the futur.. Wr demand the best facilities jus; as if no river existed, an I tsk you to help hol l up our han Is and build up the commerce of the 1 1 land Empire. If wy can Join hands on these two propositions there will be no tlilticiilty at all. Gentlemen of Portland and Astoria why cannot wy do it? Is there any ob jection on the part of the peopl- of Portland to granting th.-s.- rates to us? It will n t do to say that this is a rail roa 1 proposi ion only so far as it must be tbtermiiud by the railroads. But when the people demand that the riil ron Is shall no: extend its rates thev are no; acting fairly. I know that I have spoken In a manner that is calcu lated to arouse opposition in the m nd of some uf l.y fellow cltis-ns. but I feel Juii!l 'd in taking this st ind. I speak as ont. friend may speak M an other, and I ask that we may come to gether and settle this proposition as bro:h"rs and friends. I say as I have always said :hat appropriations shoul.l be made for both the lower Columbia and Willamette rivers as It is t " the Interest of all of the great Northwest. But ai the some time the reople of Portland must be equiHy liberal and allow us the same rates, the same ad vantages and the same privileges In shipping her products as if no river was in Existence. In the state of Wash ington they do not use the Columbia river to any large extent, but they have built railroads over the mountains that have frowtu'd down for centuries, and carry their product from Eastern Washlngtm and Idaho over those mountains and they are getting exact ly the same rates for their Products as the people of Oregon and the Colum bia river basin. I know that I am going to be criti cised for talking in this way but I have said it In all kindness and sincerity. We want the mouth of the Columbia river Improved. We want the obstruc tions removed from the river east of the Cascades and we want the Willamette river improved. We thank you again, gentlemen of the committee, for your presence, as we realize the Importance of your visit to the Pacific Northwest. We feel more gratitude fur your pres ence here tonight than wt can express, and we apologize also for discussing questions of local and personal Inter est. We hope you may come again, and we hope to reap the benefit of your visit and do not doubt that we can. Mr. Burton was then Introduced by Mr. Elmore, and spoke in part as fol lows: Mr. Chairman.
