THE OREGONTAN, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 4, 1913. ft A ; . I. - RIVERIMPROVEMENT : - : PLANS DISCUSSED Rpnrp.sentative of Cities of Upper Willamette Valley Hold Conference. GOVERNMENT' WANTS DATA Representative Hawley and Major 3rcIndoe, of Engineer Corps. Are Heard on Present Status of Proposed Plans. ALBANY, Or, Oct. 3. (Special.) Thoroughly believing In the great fu ture of the Willamette Valley and united in the opinion that the improve ment of the Willamette River will play a leading part in the valley's develop ment, representatives of the leading river cities of the Upper Willamette Valley 'met in " conference here this evening to discuss plans of river Im provements. The delegates to the conference heard a thorough presentation of the plans heretofore adopted by Government engineers for the Improvement of the river, from Major Mclndoe, of the Unit ed States Engineer Corps. They listened to an able explanation of the proposed lock 'and dam system for a six-foot channel from Portland to Eugene by Representative Hawley, who secured the passage of a bill by Congress authorizing a preliminary survey for this project. Delegates from the vari ous cities then discussed the plans fully. , At this hour the discussion Is yet In progress but It Is probable the confer ence will not commit itself to either plan but that all the commercial bodies participating will offer to furnish all data and Information possible to assist both Congress and Government engi neers in securing all Improvement pos sible. 7- o Session la Afternoon. - Owing tothe fact that most of the delegates did not reach the city until this evening no session was held; this afternoon. The conference was held In the rooms of the Albany Commercial Club, and( was called to order this evening by J.-S. Van Winkle, president of the club, who presided. P. r. Gilbert, Mayor of Albany, wel comed the visitors, and C. H.- Stewart, secretary of the Albany Commercial Club, presented a resume of the status of plans for river improvement and the purpose of the conference. Major Mclndoe explained the project heretofore recommended by him for an annual appropriation of $60,000 . for eight years, which would insure a channel of from 2.5 fo 3.5 feet the year round to Corvallis. This project has never been adopted, and now the river receives only J20.000 a year, sufficient for maintenance only. He urged the importance of commercial bodies co operating with the engineers and fur nishlng data regarding commerce on the river to convince Congress of the necessity of the improvement. Flan Is Explained. Representative Hawley explained the merits of the six-foot channel plan, but said he was favorable to any plan which would make the river the serv ant of the Valley. He said the six foot rim at the falls at Oregon City . has given a six-foot channel to New berg and drowned out the Molalla bar and explained how a system of locks will afford deep water, eradicate all bars and not only permit large, ves sels to run, but permit towing of barges by small vessels. He portrayed the resources and great future of the Valley and how future commerce will justify the improvement. The one un answerable argument for reasonable railroad freight rates is an open river, he said. , Answering a question, Major Mcln doe said that the only way a perma nent channel in the river will ever be secured is by a system of locks and dams. , ' Both Major Mclndoe and Representa tive Hawley discussed the feature -of the necessary co-operation of the peo ple through a probable port district plan, such as the Tillamook, Siuslaw and other projects, to secure the six foot channel. Six-Foot Channel Favored. Captain A. B. Graham, of the Oregon City Transportation Company, ex plained how boats cannot carry a suf ficient tonnage part of the year to op erate at a proflt and favored a six-foot -channel,-saying It was hard to carry enough freight on an upstream trip with a three-foot channel to Justify the traffic R. C. Dixon, of Eugene, urged-cooperation of all valley cities in fur nishing data and said the plan for river improvement is the greatest ques tion now before the valley commercial bodies. Colonel J. M. Williams, of Eugene: Dr. W. H. Dale. Mayor of Harrisburg; C A. Murphy, secretary of the Corval lis Commercial Club, and Colonel E. Hofer, of Salem, also spoke. x Colonel Hofer reviewed the success ful fight for free locks at Oregon City and cited It as an Illustration of what a united effort for river Improvement can accomplish. Delegates from outside cities at the conference are: Salem E. Hofer, M. O. Buren, C. M. Epley, H. S. Glle. Eugene J. M. Williams, M. J. Dur yea, P. E. Snodgrass, A. C, Dixon, L- L. Lewis.

Woodward that fire hydrants in the downtown district be placed under ground. Mr. Woodward believes that the plan would aid greatly to the beauty and sightliness of the city and probably would not Impair the- effi ciency of the department. The only place In this country where hydrants are placed under ground, said Chief Dowell yesterday "is In Boston. There the streets are verv narrow, much more so than ours 1 am of the opinion that Portland is not so congested as to make any such move necessary. It would Impede the department's work, without doubt. A shaft carrylnic a number of parallpd wheels and provided -with suitable - hand!e has ten patented by an Ohio man for cut ting noodles svenly.

HAY IS CENTER OF WAR Roosevelt Mien 'Resent Progressive Republican's Determination to Campaign for Candidates of Older Party. SPOKANE, Wash', Oct. 3. (Spe cial.) The unexpected retaliation on Senator Borah for his announcement of Intention to speak in Spokane for Governor Hay and the Republican party came today, when Senator Miles Polndexter, at the insistence of Spo kane Roosevelt Progressives tele graphed his cancellation of tentative speaking dates In Idaho towns to Chairman J. E. Gibson, of the Idaho Roosevelt Progressive state committee. Paul Clagstone who has been active urging Senator Poindexter to assist In the Borah campaign, was assured that Borah's action had made it impossible for Roosevelt Progressives here to countenance any aid to him. Senator Borah, It is said, advised Governor Hay's friends that he might be urged to come to Spokane and when Harry Hibschman, state committeeman for the Republican party, tendered thd Invitation, Borah promised to come to Spokane about October 15 and make a speech in behalf of the Republican party. : - No sooner had the fact been an nounced than a flash of resentment was aroused among Roosevelt Progres sive leaders, who cannot understand why the Idaho man should oppose the Roosevelt Progressive ticket in Spo kane.
