Trying to force the proposed goverment locks and canal onto the east side of the river docs not look good to a man up a tree. There is already a locks and canal on the west side around the falls of the Willamette river. Now it 13 proposed by the U. S. engineering department to condemn right of way and buildd new locks and canal on the Oregon City side of the river. There would then be two sets of locks and canal around the falls of the Willamette. That is about a3 sure a way to kill the whole enterprise as could possibly be devised. No attempt has been made to purchase the present locks and canal on the west side. That canal and locks are owned by the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. The same corporation and large paper mill corporations own the water rights and the water front on the east side. With all the water that flows through the river used for the enormous power and electric plants at the falls, they will resist another canal being built. There will not be water enough a great part of the year to op erate two sets of locks and canals. The right of way on the fast side of the river will cost about as much as the total appropriat.ons now made by the federal and state governments -$W'0,000. Besides, the first step.? to build the locks and canal on the cast side of the river will tie the whole proceedings up in litiga tion. The only theory on which locks and canal can be undertaken on the east side of the river is to defeat tl'o whole proposition. It is stated that the U. S. engineers have recommended con struction of new locks and canalon the cast side of the river. It is presumed that, everyone ought to accept their opinion and acquiesce in their judgment on such a matter. Put why has no effort been made to purchase the existing locks and canal on the west side of the Willamette river? Is it because n lot of politicians think it sounds big to say to h 1 with the big corporations; we will build new locks and ca nal. L That is the spirit of the ago, but it is not good business judg ment under all the circumstances. If the corporation has an indefensible title to the property that cannot be alienated, their property should be bought and paid for. If no price can be agreed upon, there should be arbitration, and if that fails, there should be a condemnation suit brought to get at the value of the property. The statesmanship that quails before contact with big inter ests and can only build up on hostility to corporations is of the small bore variety, anyhow. , What the people want is free locks and canal at Oregon City, for the purpose of securing open and untramelled navigation of tho river. The delegation in Washington and the U. S. engineering de partment are making a mistake trying to destroy the property of the corporations that have engaged in development of indus tries at Oregon City. The money has been appropriated, and is lying i He in the slate and national treasuries, and the products of the farm and the factory are paying high tolls at the locks. When action is to be taken, it is taken in a way to delay re lief and remedy for years to come. It is time this matter was being dealt with ns men of ordin ary business intelligence would ueal with it. ' ONE SALARY IS ENOUGH SAYS CRAWFORD While W. H.

Mystery which for days has shrouded the disappearance of pretty Mary Cler trudo llg from her home hero, today was still unsolved, despite search by a s(iiad of detectives. What happened to Miss llg whether she Is wandering demented In the city or Its suburbs; whether sho suffered violence or whether her disappearance Is the result of a love affair theories that have been ad vanced by the police, is a question still as far from solution as ever. From the evening of last Monday, when she left her home to obtain tickets at a local theater, no one has been found who saw her. Be yond the different theories not a thing hus been learned of the dis appearance, which In its apparent lack of motive and Its completeness, rivnls that of Dorothy Arnold, whose vanishing after many weeks Is still a puzzle to her family nnd the, authorities of New York.

AT THE I'EMTENTIAKYj Believing that It may be possible! to secure sufficient water to relieve , the water famine at the asylum from ! an abandoned well at the state pen itentiary, the state, board yesterday decided to make a test of it and : should It prove that the members are1 right In their belief It will mean that j the state has been saved from mak ing an expenditure for the digging of a new well. The board made the decision yes terday afternoon when It held a meeting for further considering the water problem and to listen to a plan for relieving "It from Roland K. Page, manager of the Portland Rail way, Light & Power company. The suggestion was made then that years ago a well had been partially dug near the penitentiary but that It had been abandoned because of the lack of appropriations from the legisla ture. It was decided to bring a pump from the asylum farm and make a test of It and ascertain whe ther sufficient water can be ob tained from it before digging a new well. In the event that the test should prove a failure, it is likely that a contract will be let to- Mr. Page to dig a well, and install a pump, the cost of which Is estimated complete at $2-)00.
