Big Feature CoffomatSom of AT Tile Doors Open At COMMERCIAL CLUB WILL OCT SENTIMENT OF CITIZENS ON $754,000 PUBLIC WORK. ENGINEERS TO EE GIVEN ICEFCIT Government Will Abandon Enter prl.e. It I Said, If Resident Oppos Rout On ' East Sid. To learn the sentiment In this city ' regarding the building of the canal on the east side, around the Fall of the Willamette. President Hedge of the Commercial Club, baa called meeting of citizen for 4 o'clock this afternoon at the Commercial Club. It will be one of the moat Important meetings ever held In this city, and a lively debate is expected. Mr. Hedge has taken thia action because of the persistent rumor for the past week that the resident of the cliydoJ!onrant the canal cm tbr: east aide. Representatives of th ' United State Engineering Depart ment will be In the city Monday, and It la the desire of th management o the club to give them a record of the wishes of the people, that the govern ment may be fully informed before the work Is started. Millmen Fear CanaL - W. P. Hawley, . president of the Hawley Pulp aV Paper Company, while favoring an open canal, haa an nounced that the building of the ca nal- onghe-oute-opoaeiL.-Wlll BQ interfere wun me duihct m uw company that it will discontinue op eration, and, it Is, said, the officer of other mill fearthe proposed worka will greatly hamper their buslneaa. On the other band, it Is contended by . representative citizens, that the work: will be of little, if any inconvenience to the mills, and the benefit to tha rltT will be so treat that all patriotic citizens should do everything possi ble to obtain tbe canai on me east side. Representative of the government, who have been here, have Intimated that under no consideration will the existing canal and locks on the west side, owned by the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, be purchas ed by the government. It la aald if the canal la not built on th east side nothing will be done, and the $300,000 appropriation by the state and an appropriation of the same amount by the United Statea govern. v ment will not be used. Meeting To Be Exciting. The officers of all the mills that . will be affected by the canal have been Invited to attend the meeting, and, it Is understood, that some of them will have their attorneys attend with them. That the meeting will be ene of the most exciting ever held In this city is conceded. It waa largely through the effort of the Commercial Club that the big appropriations were obtained, and the majority of the members favor the building of the canal on the east side. The work will cost about 1754.000, and It 1 thought the government will, . in another appropriation, supply the money necessary for the completion of the project Much of this money will be spent in Oregon City, and the retail dealer especially are anxious that the work be started as soon aa possible. City Engineer Noble, who has been Investigating the canal plana for the city, declares the route will not ser iously affect the mills. L B. Thom son, the government engineer In .him nt tha nrorjoned work, told Mr. Noble Friday that It was Immaterial to the government whether the canal Is built, and If the agttatlon against It is continued the project probably will be abandoned.
