THE ST. JOHNS RCVIEW A. W. Mo Publlflliod -..1 fnud Subscription prlc $1.00 per ya Tmt RKVtnw I entered at Wil oBce In Portland, Oregon. 69 raiul mutter of Uic second clnas unier the Act of Con rfroBt of March J, 1879. One of the seemingly most unwarranted and selfish pro positions that hns been launch ed for some time is the propos ed closing of the Columbin Slough near the Interstate bridge unwarranted because it closes a water way, when dyking on both sides of the stream would apparently pro duce the result sought, al though more expensive. And yet it would seem that the sand that could bo procured by dredg ing from the Slough would oll aot the cost of dyking. Selfish because it would seem to benefit the promoters at the expense of the property owners on this aide of the proposed darn. It has been declared by some that the Columbia Slough is not what might properly be termed a navigable stream, and yet If it were not so the government would not have jurisdiction over it, nor would the city of Portland have spent somewhere between $5,000 and 0,000 in tho past in making surveys for a sower outlet, u is not, uiu present importance of this waterway that is is at stake so much as that of the future. I). C. Lewis has pointed out that tho Hrio Canal at one time was only of slight width and four feet in depth, while ai the pre sent t mo it is thirty feel or more in denth. of considerably greater width, and its value as a navigable stream is extremely vast. So it will be with the Columbia Slough of tho future, If left unclosed. As more expansion takes place and more wiitnr fmnliim; is needed Hi" Slough will ! dredged and widened. A most important feature that should not be lost sight of is that the Slough is paralleled for u considerable distance with the railroad line only about 1000 feet rinovod from it. And by reason of the elevator system in North St. Johns this railroad is a common user, which means that indii trial planUt could be located on Columbia Slough with the ground between the industry and tho .ailroad back of it available for store house pur posoa and tho opportunity to connect a spur of only one thousand or so feet in length to connect tho industry with tho cohimon uxor railroad line with tho switching charge el iminated. Nothing could be more ideal. Tho closing of the Slough, for this reason alone, would Kuem the heiglith of folly. It has not been the policy of tho government in the past to close waterways or permit them to be cloned that may be dev eloped into much imiHU-tance. On the contrary it yearly spends great sums of money in making them more navigable anil of greater benefit to tho general public. And so in this instance, if the important features and possibilities of the Columbia Slough are brought clearly u'd distinctly before the govern ment officials, there can he no doubt that the cloning of the Columbia Slough will in no wise take place. Tho so-called show thnl hud boon holding forth on North Jersey street for about ten days hns folded it tout and depart ed for greener pasture, taking with it thoiiHandH of dimes that would much belter have been employed in buying W. S. S. A. W. Davis has had a fine sample of African lily display ed at his realty office for the past several days. It stand about 10 inches high, deep ma roon in color, perfectly black spine, and exudes a perfume similar to a glue factory. It is strangely beautiful in appear ance and was grown by Mr. Davis, who has several of them.
