WEEKLY ENTERPRISE ESTABLISHED 13 66 VOL. IV No. 65 OREGON CITY, OREGON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1912 Per Week, 10 Cents HAWLEY FIGHTS FOR OPEN RIVER CONGRESSMAN WOULD MAKE WILLAMETTE NAVIGABLE TO EUGENE YEAR ROUND SIX-FOOT CHANNEL TO BE ASKED Commercial Clubs in Valley Are Ask ed to Give Assistance in Great Undertak ing SALEM, Or., Sept. 16. W. C. Haw ley, who has interested himself in be half of better waterways for Oregon, has a plan which he hopes may make the Willamette River navigable from Eugene to Portland throughout the year. In the first rivers and harbors bill enacted after Mr. Hawley became a member of Congress, he obtained an appropriation of $60,000 to be ,used on the river between Oregon City and Harrisburg. Another appropriation of $40,000 later was obtained, follow ed by an appropriation of $20,000, and an appropriation of $32,500 in the last rivers and harbors bill for this work. A special appropriation of $5000 al so was obtained some time ago By Mr. Hawley for extending the revet ment work near Independence. Rep resentative Hawley, believing that a plan could be worked out by which permanent and beneficial improve ments could be made without the ex penditure of much more money than is now being expended on the river, last year made a personal investiga tion of the Willamette River. The result of his investigation was the formulating of a plan which Mr. Hawley had inserted in the last riv ers and harbors law, providing for a preliminary examination of the Wil lamette River, with a view to getting a channel six feet deep between Ore gon City and Eugene by means ofj locks and dams. In order to obtain favorable consid eration, Mr. Hawley and the engi neers must show Congress that the prospective increase in commerce on the river would justify the expendi ture. Mr. Hawley obtained the in formation from the Commercial or ganizations of Oregon which was us ed as the basis fqr the appropriation for the purchase of the locks at Ore gon City, and he believes that if per sons interested in the problem of an open Willamette River will cooperate in the above plan that a waterway navigable at all times of the year may be provided within a short time.
