ALBAXT, Or.. April 13. (Special
Three hundred and sixty-seven dele
sates to the Open River and Freight
Rate Convention of the Willamette
Valley have already been reported to
the local committees in charge of the
feathering-. These represent 17 of the
leading cities of the Willamette Val

resentative men of Valley cities will

transportation problems of the Willam
ette Valley.

Delegations Grow Kapldly.
Many of the cities named appointed
more delegates than are listed above,
but these figures represent those who
have actually promised to come. The
Eugene Commercial Club sent word
today that it was Increasing its list
and would probably have more than
the 58 who have promised definitely
to attend. A similar message came
from Corvallis and reports that their
delegations woald probably be larger
' were received from Salem and Harris
burg. The convention will be a big one,
and from present indications its effecfc
will' be both widespread and perma
nent. According to the sentiment of
the different commercial clubs of the
Valley, as Is reflected in replies re
ceived to the invitation to the conven
tion, a permanent organization will
be formed here tomorrow night to
work continuously for better trans
portation facilities on the Willamette
River, and consequently better freight
rata.
This will make the convention, which
was first called to endeavor to remedy
sxliting conditions, a step toward per
manent Improvement and the abolish
ing of the 10-cent differential freight
rate from Portland to Willamette River
points on Eastern shipments. which
was the direct cause of the call for tho
ronventlon, may result in the perfect
ing of an organization which will se
cure Immense improvement in the
transportation facilities of the Wil
lamette Valley.
Organization Formed Tonight.
It Is planned to form this organiza
tion tomorrow night. The afternoon
lesslon will be devoted entirely to the
programme of addresses on transpos
ition conditions in the Valley, but when
the delegates reconvene for the session
It will be for business, not mere talk
ing. The session will be entirely in
the hands of the representatives of the
various commercial clubs. But it is
very probable that the work of the
convention will not be limited to the
passage of resolutions, but that work
Tor the future as well as the present
will be mapped out.
Local committees, which are in
fharge of the details for the conven
tion, are now completing their work
nd everything will be in readiness for
the big convention before It convenes

Reservoir Will Be Second Ivargest In.

Sufficient to Irrigate 20,000
Acres Xear Vmatllla.
PENDLETON". Or.. April 13. (Spe
cial.) A contract calling for the com
pletion of the projected dam across the
Umatilla River at Coe was signed In
this city this afternoon, and a bond
given for the completion of the work
by October 1. The total cost is to be
$110,000 and construction work is to be
started within 30 days.
The dam is to be constructed by the
Eschbach-Bruce Company, of Seattle,
for the Furnish-Coe project and the
floodwaters of the Umatilla River are
to be conser'ed by it to supplement
the water now secured by means of the
Furnish Canal from the regular flow
k of the river. Work on the dam was
started several months ago and the
most difficult part has already been
completed. This consists of a con
crete core which is laid from bedrock,
18 feet below the ground to the sur
face. This core is to be carried to the
top of the dam.
Th dam is to be 50 feet high. 1170
feet long. 270 feet wide at the base and
20 feet wide at the top. It will form
a reservoir covering 240 aces of land
and containing 8000-acre feet. This
will be the next largest reservoir In the
state, being second only to the Gov
ernment reservoir on the Umatilla proj
ect in this county, and will contain
water sufficient to irrigate the entire
SO.OOO acres of the project for 60 days.
The dam will be so constructed that
by a system of weirs the natural flow
of the river at all seasons of the year
will be obtained. The water for the'
Furnish-Coe project is now taken from
the river by means of a long feed canal,
some distance below the dam, and as
it is needed the conserved water will
be turned Into the main channel of the
river to Increase the natural flow by
the amount to be taken from It again.
The spillway will be 500 feet wide and
will have a capacity of 50.000 second
feet, or twice as much water as ever
passes down the river during Its
greatest floods.
