ble peace to which traitors have been
driving her she will become a German
colony forever. The Germane would
aeize her foodstuffs, enroll ber men
and treat her as a conquered country.
There could be no choice between the
evil of war and the evil of surrender.
The new government must realize
the necessity of inviting the allies to
help 'in reorganizing the railway ser
vice tor warfare. It Germany decided
aa all signs indicate to transfer the
main pressure to the Rusian front
it would be hopeless to rely on methods
that availed against the inferior Aus
trian troops.
Russia is full of splendid fighting
men. Ten millions have already been
enrolled, but they are scarcely trained.
They are too busy attending meetings
instead of drill. These millions must
be helped by British and French offi

RIVERS IMPROVEMENT
BILL CARRIES ji
IHgLUCKS
News of the paaage of the river and
harbor bill Friday afternoon by con
gress, was received by thla city with
great satisfaction, for Included in the
appropriations la the sum of $80,000
to be expended upon the ' remodeling
of the government locks at thla city.
The improvement upon which thla
money Is to be spent will consist of
the deepening of the channel in the
lower locks to a depth of eight feet at
the lowest season of the year.
According to local engineers, if the
money is Immediately available, the
work could be done this fall during
the low water which will occur with
in a short Vm. The lower locks are
40 by 210 ft: .:, but the fact that the ap
proach to the locks would have to be
deepened also, would make the work
cover an area of about 40 by 350 feet ,
The channel at this point is worn In
solid rock and would require the use
of the cofferdam method and blasting.
The appropriating of thla money tor
the district represents a victory gained
after over a year' waiting. About a
year ago when Congressman William
C. Hawley waa in this city the matter
was brought to bis attention and it la
largely through his efforts that the
appropriation was made. The rush
of war legislation sidetracked the har
bor appropriation, and although it
seemed assured las year, it failed to
materialize.
When the locks were taken over by
the government it was understood that
the deepening of the channel m the
lower locks waa Included in the speci
fications. Through a technicality thla
was not allowed by congress and an
additional appropriation waa required.
The deepening of the channel at this
point will provide a minimum water
depth of six feet from Portland to Sa
lem. At the present time the channel
here about the first of September is
only 20 inches, which renders the locks
useless.
