That 1000.000 asked by the Port

pany for the canal and locks at Ore-
ogn City Is not an esoesalvo price. Is
the statement In a letter from the
company to Tbo Portland Journal, In
answer to an editorial In that paper.
It Is held that the valuation la based
on the original cost of tbo property
and the Clackamas county tax rolL.
f'Tbe government asks for much ad
ditional property," states the letter.
"more than the mere locks and canal
The caaal and locks are assessed at
$300,600. This assessment does not
Include the 60 byJSoO foot right of
wsy adjacent to tbo old canal," and
tbo entire upper canal., more than
COO feet In length, asaeased by $48,000,
which are, however, Included In the
price made by the company. to the
government. - ,,''"'.
"The state tax ' commission de
termined the asaeased values in Clack
amas county were 69 per cent of the
actual value, all property being as
seaaed at tbat rata. This would make
their valuation of the original canal
and locks 500,000, or more than the
company will receive net If the sale ia
made.
"The government wants 100 feet of
right of way, the canal being only
forty feet wide. Therefore It is pro
posed to give to the government for
the $600,000 named, alxty feet of ad
ditional ground along the entire dla
of the eanaL now valuable tor
manufacturing purposes. There la

"In addition to the above, the com
pany haa agreed to pay the Willa

for certain rtghta It holds and whlcn
would prevent free control to the en
trance of the canal, the Crown -Columbia
Pulp Paper Company a certain
sum for tights, and one-half the cost
of the construction of a retaining wall
on the east side of the canal, esti
mated by Major Mclndoe to coat
$112,000,
"Major Mclndoe, In his report with
reference to the coot of reconstruct
ing this canal to suit Immediate' needa,
places the figure at $300,W0. which
added to our $600,000, would make a
total of $900,000.
"But the company haa agreed to
pay one-half the cost of the retaining
wall which would amount to $56,000,
the coat to the government
$544,000, or $855,000 with Improve
ments. "From this $544,000 must be taken
the $25,000 to bo paid to the Willam
ette Pulp A Paper Company, and also
the amount to be paid to the Crown
Columbia Pulp ft paper 'Company,
which has not yet been determined.
This would net the company leaa than
$500,000 for Ita canaL ' "

Coroner Wilson will have a brace

George C Brownell, wbo waa the
leading attorney In the light for a -reduction
of rates, was much grati- -fled
over the result. Mr. Brownell
represented M. E. Dunn, who made
three oomplalnta relating to the alleg
ed unreasonableness of the one-way 1
or slhgle-trip fares over the road be
tween Canemah. Oregon City, Park
Place, Gladstone. Fern Ridge, Mel-
drum, Jennings, Rotne, Naet ana con
cord, all In Clackamas county, and
the Portland termlnua. The complaint
alleged that nnjuat discrimination
bad been practiced against these sta
tions In favor of stations similarly sit
uated on the Springwater dl vision, oa-
poclally In tbo rule denying transfer
privileges to pasaengera between
Clackamaa county points and port
land. Mr. Brownell waa compliment
ed on tbo victory by scores of per- .
sons Wednesday. '
Among the other reductions la the
granting of a straight five-cent fare .
to nassengers between Ardgour and
