ol the nccond cIbm undor the Act of Can-
ran of March J, 1879
"Unless we continue to develop
our foreign trude nftortne wur,
hnve no enduring pros
neritv." This statement, . by
Chairman Hurley, of the Ship
ping Bonrd, should be given care
fnl finnsidnrnt on by every
American. At this time the
winning of the war is the great
question and every possible
energy should be bendodto that
task. Having done all of those
things which wo can do in this
buluilf. wo s hou d next fix our
attention upon the fact that
after wo have won the war, of
which there can and must bo no

tion of tmvinir the war debt,
which cannot be other than
gigantic. It was not many years
ago when politicians summeil up
all convincing arguments against
the tiartv in power with the
dIimhu "A Million Dollar Con
irroaa." The interest upon the
war debt, after tho war is over,
will be at least a billion dollars
yearly. This only to pay interest
with no provision for meeting
the nrinc tin . lo meet these
obligations our people must be
more nroductive than 'jvor. Our
industrial plants must work with
a greater efficiency. We must
command moro markets in order
that our greater i fficiency may
find an outlet for its product am
at a nrice which will provide tho
wairos which our higher stand
nni of living will require. The
United Stales is a country of
wonderful productive capHcity
and of untold natural resources.
Those have formed the basis of
its wonderful prosperity. We
must dispose ol our surplus
production in foreign markets
in order to find fub employment
for all industrial agencies.

The proposition of closing the
Columbia .Slough with a dam
noar the Interstate bridge will
lie up for argument next Tues
day morning at 10 a. in., an an
nounced last week, it is safe to
say the project will be turned
down flat, as it should be. There
is no more sense or reason in
closing Columbia Slough than
there would bo in closing Colum
bia boulevard. The possibilities
or uolumiila hlougli are im
munso. Its future is full of
promise, it din's not require tin
foresight of a prophet to lo reset
that in the days to come it will

of time when a ship canal will
be constructed by the Port of
Portland with the probable as
Distance of the government be
tween the Columbia river and
Columbia Slough. This canal
could very readily and feasibly
be constructed immediately ad
joining the elevator site on the
north, where a mile or so of
drudging would coma-cl the two
streams. Such a cmiimI. ItesideK
adding two miles or more addi
tional water frontage to the
Lower Peninsula, would cut off
approximately six miles of the
distance between Portland niuI
Vancouver, Ami this wilt come
to pass. It Iihh been claimed bj
the promoters that only a tern
pnrary closing of the Slough is
anticipated. Hut the f si lacy of
this idea seems to lie in the
fact that once the Slough is
closed it becomes unnavigable
water and the government loses
jurisdiction over it for that
reason. So it is far better not
to take any chances. If the pro
moters can pull their project
through by dyking on both
Hides of the stream there will
be no objection raised, but dam
it they can't. That is if the wish
es of the people of the Peninsula
are regarded.
