Results that will be far reacti ng iu; effect, and help to lift the burden of corporate oppression from the people of Oregon, and in the end open up the state for un fettered development of its re sources, were accomplished at he meeting o the shippers aad producers of O.egon in Albany Thursday. Maiked by mere enthusiasm and earnestness than is usually und in contentions of this character, the two sessions seem larjio Uriel too adequately cover the bioad scope of the subject uuder consideration. The, speak ers were full of their respective subjects and treated them in a manner easy of comprehension.. The main results ot the con vention were in the three resolu tions adopted wherein remedial legislation dealing with the open ing up of the state to develop ment, through the betterment of Us transpoitation facilities was demanded of the coming legisla ture. Visitors from every section of the btate filled Albany to attend the convention. Many of the farmers from the different parts Born, Jan, 7th, 1907, at the home of W.

Mr. Sapley is trying to get the C. 8i E. R. R.! Co. to put in sid ing and a waiting room at a point where the wagon road crosses the railroad tra :k in North Albany. If the railroad company would grant the request it would prov.' very bene hcial to the people 01 this part-who wish to go to Cor- valhs or who have freight to send in that direction. he is hopeful oc gain being to enjoy life ia its fullness.

The conventioa opened in the afternoon at 2:30 o'clock being called to order by President Ellis of the Albany Commercial Club. The opera house was well filled, many ladies being in the audi ence. , ' On the platform with Presi dent Ellis were Governor Cham berlain, Hon. F. J. Miller, E. Holer, Hon. J. !N. Teal, Judge C. H. Stewait and Hon. Wallis Nash. Governor Chamberlain was the first speaker, and his ubject was, Waterways of Oregon, cer tainly a timely topic at this time. During his address he dwelt upon the Oregon City iocks pioposition. 'It as your chief executive," exclaimed the Governor, "insist ihat the government of the Uni ted S ates should- condemn the locks and appropriate money to control them. The trade of the Willamette valley towns is suffer tng under the incubus of this ex cessive loll." This statement was greeted with the most enthusiastic dera onstration ot the afternoon. In this connection the speaker asked why the transportation rates from Portland to The Dalles, -a dis tance ot practically ninety miles. were the same as from Portland to Salem, a distance of 56 miles, He answered this by saying that the lockage charges at Oregon City more than made up for the diherence. " "If the -government of the United States will do rjothing," shouted Governor Chamberlain. "then I, as chiet executive, . say that the people of Oregon should act, and condemn, purchase and operate the locks in the name of the state. One million dollars would be a cheap price for the people of Oregon to pay to rid themselves of this condition." Action taken by the conven t;on: Legislature uretd to enac legislation leading to abolishment 01 tons at vjregon city -locks. Lfgislatuie urged to work for enactment of law providing for railroad commission with rate making powers and providing for reciprocal demurrage, with proper penalties. Attitude of Harrinian system in refusing to sell timber and ag ricultural lauds, placed in the hands of Oregon" and California railroad company by government.
