ECONOMY
IN ROAD BUILDING CLACKAMAS
COUNTY 18 RIDICULED IN THE ORECON VOTER
T
IT IS THE PAINFUL TRUTH that the Ore-on Voter expound in
the May iue in regard to Clackama county roads a.vd road huitj:nn.
The article i reprinted on pai,e one of thi iue.
The drnTiption of part of the oil bound macadam road between ()re'K'oii I
City and Portland i plrndid:' "And uii ouht to see it today. No hot
weather )rt, but the warm pr!n d:i- have melted it till it looks like nio
I:tcs. It' wrinklrd in pla.-e like corduroy. Rouh, bumpy, full of hole,
far wore than the macadnm road it replaced. Rut are form in j; in it and i:
t rar!lir out at the ed'r Oie winter has practically de
MroirJ tl:e nud." It's a wonderful description and it' true.
The county court ha worked on the theory that oil bound macadam is
l ard oirf.vc. In the first place oil bound macadam i nothing more than an
experiment. It i no more hard surface than water bound macadam. When
Clackamas county laid thoe 4 1-2 miles of oil bound macadam lat fall, it
established itself a a pioneer in that type of improvement in the northwest.
The experience of this county in road construction hx been spread far
and wide thrtuh western Orejon. Probably no county in the state of the
sie of Clackamas spends as much for roads and probably no county in the
western part of the state ha roads that can equal some of the ruts of mud and
dust richt here in Clackamas.
The Enterprise does not like to see the condition of Clackamas county
roads advertised any more than does the county court or the 60 supervisors
who are responsible for the present state of affairs. But several things are
necessary before there can be any decided improvement in roads and one of
these is that oil bound macadam is not hard surface; in fact, is not even a
good substitute.
X :
THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY has taken advantage of a let
ter addressed to him by President Garfield, of Williams Collep,
to make public a letter in which he attempts to relieve himself of the
criticism for the unpreparded condition of the navy.
Mr. Daniels boasts that five new ships have been authorized during the
last two years, but he says nothing about the fact that one of these replaced
the Idaho and .Mississippi, sold to Greece, while the other four merely made
up for past deficiencies.
Neither does he say anything about the fact that he refused to accept the
recommendation of the general board and recommend that congress provide
for four ships this year; or that he has, contrary to the best military and naval
advice, prevented the establishment of an efficient staff to operate the navy
in time of war; or that he has insisted, contrary to military advice, in main
taining and even resuscitating certan obsolete navy yards at a great expense
which should be devoted to improving the fleet; or that the navy is 18,000
men short, and so short of officers that it is impossible to commission the ships
in reserve; or that he has, by persistent political discrimination and favoritism,
demoralized the discipline of the navy.
Mr. Daniels says that all the ships have had target and battle practice,
but he does not explain that most of them did not have such practice until the
press called attention to the fact and began to criticise the secretary and that
then many of the ships wer compelled to hold target and battle practice with
out adequate preparation, as the poor record of their work clearly proves.

Men whose political memory run back twenty year are finding a close
and curiou parallel between the political condition of 1S''5 and those of
115. The country then had a Democratic administration Cleveland.
The country today has a Democratic adminit ration Wilson', The coun
try then had a Democratic tarifl law the Wilson-Gorman bill. The coun
try today ha a Democratic tarifl law the Underwood-Simmon bilk Then,
a now, there was widespread unemptovnient and deep discontent all over the
land. Then, as now, the country had just experienced sweeping Republican
victories in the elections of the previous "nil year." Then, as now, the mu
nicipal election of the springtime showed the continued sweep of Republican
ascendancy. Then, as now, the country was looking' forward with eagrr
ness to its approaching relief from Democratic administration and to the re
storation of the Republican party to power. The political indicator! of
180 found their fulfillment in the election of McKinley in 18. The po
litical indication of 1915 will find their fulfillment in the election of an
other Republican president in

BUT PROVE IT
"When one of our customers sold out his
business the other day, the purchaser
asked how much business he had done
during the last year. For reply he hand
ed over his bank book, saying, "I have
always deposited all my receipts in the
bank and you can see just what I have
taken in." The purchaser looked and
was satisfied. How would you show a
prospective purchaser the exact volume
of your business and be prepared to
prove it? This illustrates another of the
many advantages of a bank account.

Brief History of the Oregon City Locks
BaaaaMMMaaBaaaaaaaMawMMaaaapwMMMMaaaawwMBaBMmaMaaa
Until now the operation of tho Wil
lamette locks at Oregon City by river
craft has been attended by a toll upon
every boat and upon every ton of
freight.
Now, the locks are free to every
craft. The government owns tnem.
Thus Is marked another progressive
step In the development of waterways
for transportation.
Efforts to navigate the river were
made long before the locks became a
reality. In 1851 one steamer, the Hoo
sler, was hauled over the falls by
sklda. This was so hazardous and so
costly that little further use was made
of that plan.
Prior to 1873 navigation of the river
was halted at the falls, merchandise
being carried around for reloading up
on other boats above the falls.
In 1855, however, agitation for an
open river began, with a meeting held
at Eueene. Joseph Teal presided at
this meeting and resolution were
passed sotting forth tho need of unin
terrupted passage of the rlvor. This
led to nothing definite, however, until
1868, when the Willamette Falls Canal
& Lock company was organized to con
struct a canal around the falls.
Opposition to tho project was acute
from the start. Railroad builders saw
the menace and used financial and po
litical Influences to block construction
of the canal.
The locks were completed In nine
months after actual work was begun,
a state appropriation of $20,000 sup
plementing the $30,000 capital which
backed the constructing company. Jan
uary 1, 1873, the little steamer Maria
Wllklns started from Portland to
make the Journey through the locks,
marking the official completion of the
project. A distinguished company
was on board. No other vessel could
be secured, coL.llctlng Interests being
suspected of conspiring to prevent this
technical completion of the canal.
The ascent was safely made and the
locks woro found to be ndequnto.
In 1875, the Wlllamotto Transporta
tion & Locks company bought out the
Willamette Falls Canal & Locks com
pany. Later tho O. R. & N. took oyer
tho locks and In 1906 tho Portland
Railway, Light & Powor Co., acquired
them, Including the powor generating
privileges.
That same year tho first fight be
gan for the taking of these locks out
of private control and entrusting nav
igation of the river to the government.
Followed years of agitation and dis
appointment, until congress appropri
ated $300,000 for the purchase of the
locks, tho stato appropriating a like
sum. After all details had been cleared
away, other obstacles arose, and for
throe years the actual transfer was
withheld until April 26. 1915, when th
government's check was turned over
to President Franklin T. Griffith of
the Portland Railway, Light t Power
company, and the locks became the
property of the public.
