My Dear Jonathan:
Conatderable excitement haa been
aroused by tha publication of tbo
plana for the new locka and oanal
on the Eaat 8tde of the Falla here at
Oregon City, owing to the discovery
that thla canal, if constructed along
tho lines marked out by tbo engineers,
would run right through tho very
heart and vltala of aeveral manufac
turing planta, including tho Hawley
Pulp & Paper Company's mllla,
which company I represent aa Ka
general counsel. Up umU tho plan
came out I waa advised and believed
that the canal would run between
all theae planta and tbe river ao that
there would ba no Interference with
the manufacturing Intereata. which
are the main stay of business In thla
city, but tba engineer now Informa
me that auch a plan would bo 1m
practicable, owing to the large ex
pense In blasting out a channel,
which would far exceed the money
available for the purpoae. The route
aurveyed and reported on by the en
(rlneera who run along tho line-or
