THE PACIFIC HIGHWAY.
Six men drove through Oregon City
Saturday, forerunners of a movement
to brand the Faclflc Coast from the
Canadian boundary to Mexico with
signs that point to good roads. They
are representatives of the Pacific
Highway Association, and with them
was Frank M. Fretwell, secretary of
the association, and he was ac
companied by M. K. MacRae, resi
dent manager of the Oregon Hotel. J
and two expert post-hole men. They
rode In a touring car and were pre
ceded by two In a five-ton automobile
truck carrying a load of poles and
signs. Starting from Portland, they
came up the West Side of the river
to the Willamette River suspension
bridge, crossing at this city and
planting one of their signs at the
east end of the bridge, and then sped
on up the South End road toward
New Era and on to the Marion county
line.
There was no flourish of trumpets
for this party, yet the men who com
pose It are doing a great work In
marking a highway the entire length
of the Pacific Coast They expect to
reach the California boundary within
ten days after leaving Oregon City,
and the good road boosters of the
Golden State will meet the party and
push the work to the last stage.
There will be distributed in Ore
gon COO signs and 400 posts will be
set up to guide the driver of the mo
tor car on his way along the roads
of the Pacific Coast.
These men are pioneers in their
work and should be acorded a hearty
reception all along the route. The
signs they place are identical in
wording and appearance from Vic
toria, B. C, to Tla Jaunta, Hex. They
stand for something and the men who
are responsible for the marking of
a highway along the coast are worthy
of the highest praise.
HE CUT THE RED TAPE.
"Red tape," or slavery to precedent
and methods of procedure in the tran
saction of pubic business, is tne bane
of officialdom. Occasionally an offi
cial has the strength of character to
shove precedent aside when the pub
lic good demands such action. To be
able to do this is a distinguishing
mark of a good executive. The Com
missioner of the General Land Office,
Hon. Fred Dennett, having a multi
plicity of duties pressing upon his at
tention, not infrequently has to deal
a body slow to bureaucracy.
Here Is an Instance where admin
istrative skill was required. On the
Chippewa lands is a large quantity of
fir timber, one of the best bodies of
timber remaining in that country. It
being his duty to cut and sell all such
timber for the benefit of tbe Indians,
Commissioner Dennett had already
ordered the Bale of the timber and
contracts had been prepared. On vis
iting the country around the reserva
tion last year he found that there was
likely to be a poor market for timber
as much fire-killed standing timber
had to be cut In order to save it from
decay, fire and other losses. He ac
cordingly changed the specifications,
put off the cutting one year, and ef
fected the sale of 400,000,000 feet of
timber at a price around $8.40 per
thousand, board measure, or a total
of $3,500,000.
territory. However, they keep right
on paying from 5 to 10 cents each for
the Western apples, but the short
age of the supply Is encouraging
more extensive planting In the rest
of the country and the apples from
Oregon and Washington may event
ually have to look for a market In
Liverpool and Hamburg, although
they still hold their own.
CROPS BELOW AVERAGE.
While the remainder of the country
is suffering very generally from poor
crops, the Far West seems to be more
than holding Its own. Maine Is a
notable exception, Us crops being
practically normal, but some other
states are making a very poor snow
ing because of drought. The Irrigat
ed states are fortunate In such sea
sons. Washington, Oregon, Montana,
Idaho, Wyoming, Utah. California,
Nevada, New Mexico and Arizona are
prospering and crops are good. CM
matlc conditions, doubtless account In
large part for this.

GOING FAR FOR APPLES.
Easterners are always surprised to
see the choicest places on the fruit
stands occupied by Washington and
Oregon apples. No matter that they
have seen this year after year they
seem unable to get used to the Idea
that their own Immediate localities
cannot or at least do not supply the

always sure that better apples can
be grown right at home than are pro

several years and has so far success

MASS MEETING FAVORS THE LOCKS
(Continued from page 1.)
State Senator Walter A. Dlmlck, who
may enter the race for Congress
against Willis C. Hawley.
Dr. Dlmlck is nothing if not ambi
tious, politically, and he has certainly
been unusually successful since his
entry Into the political game. Three
years ago he was elected to the House
of Representatives, and last year be
was chosen to succeed J. E. Hedges
In the State Senate, where he made
a reditable record. His measure pro
viding for handling state funds la
among the best of his achievements.
It was expected that Senator Dlm
lck would become an aspirant for
president of the State Senate, and no
doubt he will, in the event that be
concludes not to enter the field
against Hawley. There is no doubt
that the wave of Insurgency would
have swept Hawley off the political
map last year, if his opponent had
been a stronger man, and the Incum
bent is none too strong In many sec
tions of bis district. Dlmlck is cer
tain to pull a tremendous vote from
Clackamas county, probably larger
than Hawley could obtain out of
Marlon and he might' win If he could
get an even break In the other coun
ties embraced 1ft the First District.
The campaign next year will be a
long one. Tbe primaries will be held
in April, but the general election will
not take place until November, and
the various candidates will have
plenty of time to advertise them
selves among the voters.
Oregon has mndo the appropriation
for those locks and for God's snke
lot's got thorn. Lot us say whether
we want modern new looks' on the
oust side of the river or whether we
want the government to buy the old
untiqimti'd locks of the Portland
Railway, Light & power Coinpnny.
It us have the Impression go out
that we want the new locks and tiint
we have confidence enough In the
government to place the locks In the
most practicable place."
City Engineer Noble stated he hittl
had a conversation with Engineer
Thompson, under whose direction the
surveys were made, and thai Thomp
son had told him there was another
plan which would miss the southwest
corner of the Hawley building en
tirely.
"The government has already de
cided not to buy the west side locks,
and Mr. Thompson told me It was
up to us nnd that the government did
not give a damn whether the locks
were built fjT not," said Mr. Noblo.
Mayor Brownell said that hundreds
of thousands of people are Interested
In free transportation In the Willa
mette Valley.
"In building these locks," said he,
"you are not only going to benefit
yourself but the people of the whole
state. You cannot get them by quar
reling. If the locks can be built
without Injuring valuable property,
thou let's do that. We should get out
of our moss-back clothes for once.
After ail the only people who are op
posed to these locks are the South
ern Pacific Company and the Port
land Railway, Light & Power Com
pany." Attorney Stipp reminded those
present not to lose sight of the fact
that new locks would mean a depth
of six feet of water on Clackamas
Raplds.'and that boats will be better
able to handle freight between Ore
gon City and points on the lower
river.
"We have heard nothing but pro
crastination for many years," ex
claimed M. J. Lee, of Canby. "I be
lieve the engineers will locate the
locks where they belong. Leave the
milling Interests out of this question.
There are 3.000,000 acres In the Will
amette Valley thnt are paying tribute
for every ton of freight that comes
down the river."

Kidney and bladder trouble caused
me much suffering and as time passed,
my condition became worse. I finally
consulted a physician but his treat
ment did not bring relief. The kidney
secretions were painful and distress
ing in passage and caused me much
annoyance. Seeing Doan's Kidney
Pills advertised, I got a box at Hunt

astonishing the way they took effect
on my trouble. By the time I had

C. D. Latourette, attorney for the
Hawley Pulp & Paper Company, on
Saturday made public a letter he has
written to United States Senator
Bourne, In which Mr. Latourette
urges the purchase and reconstruc
tion of the West Side locks, rather
than the building of new locks on the
East Side of the river. The letter fol
lows: Oregon City, Or., Sept. 6. 1911.
Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Washington,
D. C.
My Dear Jonathan:
Considerable excitement has been
aroused by the publication of the
plans for the new locks and canal
on the East Side of the Falls here at
Oregon City, owing to the discovery
that this canal, if constructed along
the lines marked out by the engineers,
would run right through the very
heart and vitals of several manufac
turing plants. Including the Hawley
Pulp & Paper Company's mills,
which company I represent as Its
general counsel. I'p until the plan
came out I was advised and believed
that the canal would run between
all these plants and the river so that
there would be no Interference with
the manufacturing Interests, which
are the main stay of business In this
city, but the engineer now Informs
me that such a plan would be Im
practicable, owing to the large ex
pense In blasting out a channel,
which would far exceed the money
available for the purpose. The route
surveyed and reported on by the en
gineers who run along the line of
least resistance from a point in
block 2, right up through artificial
channels and under and through the
mills and property of the Woolen Mill
Company, the frown Company, and
the Hawley Company, , to the deep
water channel In the basin and would
thereby appropriate and practically
annihilate properties that run up Into
the millions.. The water power site
of the Crown-Columbia alone Is now
Iiaylng a rental of $3G,000 per year
to the P. R., L. & P. Co., which brings
an Income of 5 per cent on over $700,
000, and this property would be ab
solutely confiscated and destroyed as
ihe right-of-way would occupy; the
whole of It. Willie the en'lncrs
have very kindly agreed to shift the
line so as not to appropriate any
considerable part of the paper nru
site of the Hawley Company, yet the
Interference with other property now
leased by the Hawley Comnanv f om
tbe P. R., L. & P. Co., and the use
thereof by the Hawley Company
would very seriously embarrasi the
last named company in the operation
of Its plant and the damage to the
Hawley Company by such an appro
priation would be Irreparable. He
sides these elements of damage must
be considered damages for appropria
tion and I fear destruction of numer
ous water power sites belonging to
the P. R., L. & P. Co., which would
run the aggreate of damages away
up to a million and a half or two
million dollars. Besides this, a per
iod of years would elapse before tbe
completion of this work and untold
inconvenience and embarrassment
would result to all these mills during
the progress of the work.
Expressing the sentiment of the
Hawley Company, as well as my own
Individual desires, I may say that we
are desirous and anxious that free
locks be provided, as It would be of
great benefit to the Willamette Val
ley' and shipping Interests generally,
and we are all willing to males any
reasonable concessions and sacrifice
to obtain the same, but I seriously
question the propriety of building new
locks unless it Is found Impractica
ble to purchase tfce locks on the
West Side.
Immediately after seeing these
plans I called upon Mr. Josselyn, pres
ident of the P. R., L. & P. Co , to see
if he could not be persuaded to make
some concessions in price, for the
sale of the locks and he Informed
me that he had already put a price of
$000,000 up to the engineers and that
it had been refused.
Now, Senator, It does seem to me,
as a business proposition, that an
earnest effort should be made to
rear-h an agreement with the P. R., 1
fe P. Co., for the purchase of the
locks on the west side rather than
Positive announcement was mad
Tuesday that the route first suggest
ed for the East Side Canal and locks
around the Fulls of the Willamette,
which was objected to by the manage
ment of the Hawley, Pulp & Paier
Company nnd the Crown-Columbia
Pulp & Paper Company, had been
abandoned. A decision will be made
between two other routes, maps of
which have been sent to Secretary
Latourette of the Commercial Club,
Neither of these routes will affect the
property of the Hawley Pulp & Paper
Company, it Is announced, and one
of them will do little harm to the
pulp plant of the Crown-Columliltt
Pulp & Paper Comnpny. The other
one Is directly through the pulp plant
of the latter concern. Both routes
start at Third street.
E. R. Thomson, Asstlstant United
States Engineer, was In Oregon City
Tuesday arranging tho preliminaries
for the right of way.
The exact location of the new free
locks at Oregon City will be deter
mined after definite prices have been
obtained for the right of way, but
the locks will be constructed on tho
East side of the river, according to a
letter received here Tuesday by Mr
Lntnurette from Major J. F. Mclndoe.
of the Corps of Engineers, United
States Army. The letter follows;
Portlnnd, Or.. Sept. 11
Mr. M. D. Latourette.
Sec'y. Commercial Club,
Oregon City, Oregon.
Dear Sir: 1. I beg to acknowl
edge receipt of your letter of Sept. 9
Inclosing copy of a resolution adopted
at a meeting of business Interests
and citizens of Oregon City.
2. On Saturday I was advised by
the Chief of Engineers that the Sec
retary of War had approved construc
tion of a canal on the enst side of the
river at Oregon City and I was au
thorized to enter into negotiations
with property owners for the neces
sary Innds and rights of way, the ex
act location of the canal to be deter
mined after definite prices have been
obtained. Two tentative routes have
been laid out, and my ussistnnt, Mr.
Thomson, will call upon tho proper
ty owners for offers of prices for
which they will sell tho necessary
land to the United States. The exact
route selected will, of course, depend
upon the reasonableness of the prices
offered.
