THE MORXIXG OREGONIAX, WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 29, 1913. FERRY PUTS IN BIG BOOST FOR BRIDGE AH of Legislators to Learn Need of Span Unable to Cross at One Time. 7 AUTOS FORCED TO WAIT At Open Meeting In Vancouver Muc)i Stress Laid on Fact Interstate Project Over Columbia Is Jfot "Local" Issue at All. VANCOUVER. "Wash.. Jan. SS. tSpe- cial.) History was made today In the progress of the proposed Pacific high way bridge, connecting Vancouver and Portland, Washington and Oregon, when committees, appointed by the legislatures of both states, came here to view the proposed site, ana neia a Joint meeting In the Elks- Home. The committee from Olympia. com prising Senator Ralph I. Nichols, chair man of the Senate; Representative L. T. McArdle. chairman of the House; Senator K. L. French, of Vancouver; Senator I. O. Scott, of Ritxvtlle, and Representatives M. E. Hennery, of King County: Q. B. Aagaard. of Clark Coun ty; E. E. Halsey, of Clarkson. and L. "W. Field, of Adna. passed through Van couver early this morning, and was joined by the committee, bent on a similar mission, from Salem, in Port land. Thirty automobile parties from Vancouver went to Portland, each ma chine carrying representative business and professional men. The committee Irom Salem was composed of Senator W. H. Hollls, of Forest Grove, and Rep ' resentatlves J. H. Nolta. D. F Lofgren. of Portland, and Representative Samuel Laughlln. of Tamhlll. Ferry Makes Scth Aot 'Walt. After the two committees had met for a short time at the Multnomah Hotel In Portland, the trip to Van couver to view the proposed site was bftun. All went well until the Co lumbia River was reached, when it was found that the Vancouver ferry could accommodate but 22 automobiles, some of these being small, seven machines being compelled to wait untfl the ferry rould mako another, and special, trip for them. Both committees seemed to be deep ly Impressed with the urgent need of a bridge, when the ferry could not ac commodate such a small party, in ad dition to the regular business and traffic. This Is urged ns an example of what happens often, when a few ex tra vehicles desire to cross the river at the same time. fsua'.ly they are compelled to wait until the ferry makes the next regular trip, without maxlng any extra ones. Arriving in Vancouver, the commit tees were shown the proposed site, where the bridge survey was made by Ralph Modjeskl. A short trip around the city wag made and the Washing ton committee visited the state schools for the deaf and blind. Opea Meeting Is Held. At 11 o'clock the joint committees, joined by more than 100 men from this city, went into session and open meet ing In the large reception-room of the Klks' Home, and speeches were made by many concerning the bridge, why It Is needed, what it will develop, the Increase of property values in both states and the wonderful advantage It will be for tourists traveling up and down the Pacific Coast. Henry Crass, president of the Vancouver Commercial Club, presided and called on Frank B. Riley, secretary of the Interstate bridge committee, who read the full report and specifications for the bridge compiled by Ralph Modjeskl. "Points that needed explanation were inter jected by Mr. Crass for the benefit of the committees. J. H. Elwell. of Vancouver, made an address In which he said that the proj ei t of building the Pacific Highway bridge is second only to the building cf the Panama Canal, and declared that It must be built if not this year. It will come later. He read statistics showing that traffic has Increased from 30,120 in 1909 to JT0.640 in 191-. Munly Startles Legislators. L G. Munly. of Portland, startled the legislators and others by saying that Multnomah County stands ready to build lta share of the bridge, and will build her whole half if the state does not. and if the state falls down in making the desired legislation it will be to Oregon's undying shame. N. B. Coffman. president of the South western Washington Development As sociation, spoke along broad lines, showing that the project muset be tak en up as an rrtterstitfc proposition, and not as a local one. benefiting only the territory directly connected with it. Both states will be greatly benefited and developed by the building of the bridge, he said. The fundamental purposes of gov ernment Is government for tho whole people, no matter where they may be located." continued Mr.fl Coffman, and this will be the ultimate solution of the problem." The State Legislature could make no greater blunder than to oppose t'.e construction of this high way. anu'I believe that if the Legisla ture passes the required appropriation that the whole state will back It In the action." E. E. Beard had statistics from re liable sources showing that the en hanced valuation of property taxable In the State of Washington could, even before the bridge Is completed, pay the Interest on the Investment. Popular Chord Stnrk. " Whit L. Boise struck a popular2chord In the hearts of all present when he warned them that preparations must be made to take care of the immense Increase of Immigration coming when the Tanama Canal is completed. "In stead of bringing about 60.000 annual ly, the Increased facilities will pour nearer 600,000 people Into this great empire every year." He dwelt on the fact that this territory, directly and In directly tributary to the Columbia River. Is greater in area than the Ger man Empire, which has a population of 60.0u0.000. while there are not more than S.000.000 people here. Representative McArdle. chairman of the House of the Washington Legis lature, emphasized what Mr. Boise said and laid stress on the fact that the project should be taken up as an in terstate one. and not local in any way. Senator Ralph P. Nlchgls. chairman of the Senate, asked pointed questions and desired information on what Van couver, Clark County. Portland. Mult nomah County and the State of Oregon will do in the way of finances. Mr. Crass informed him that this vas a matter to be taken up at a meeting to be held In Portland, at 4 o'clock la the afternoon. Orcaoa BUI F.xtalar4. J. II. Nolta.

Rands answered Senator Nichols' query by stating that it was not the duiy of the meeting to .how how to raise Ihe money, but to show the committee the need of the bridge and let them work out the ways and means to do it. A. M. Blaker, formerly County Com missioner here, raised a laugh when he started to say that "We are all 'pro gressive' here but I don't like to use that word Just now (laughter), but anyhow, we are all live wires here, and I believe that Clark County stands ready to raise 1250.000 of the proposed cost of the bridge." An adjournment was taken and lunch was served to the committees in a local restaurant. The Washington commit tees and some from Oregon visited the State Schools for the Deaf and Blind, taking the 3:25 ferry for Portland to attmd the meeting there, and later the banquet given by the Portland Com mercial Club. IMPETUS GIVEN TO BRIDGE iContlmied From First Page.) In such a way that it will make it obligatory for the county court to sub mit the vote of the peoplo f Mulnmah Cunty, the plan to bond the county for funds to build the bridge, this being one of the plans that was suggested In the afternoon conferences. "More than one-third the population of the State of Oregon is right here In this part of the state," he said, "and once we call upon the people I believe that there will be no trouble In secur ing the funds necessary to carry Ore gon's share of the enterprise." Representative E. E. Halsoy, of Asotin County, Washington, giving the view of a dweller In a more remote part of the state, declared heartily his Indorsement of the movement for the bridge. Secret Session I. Held. Prior to the dinner, a meeting of the two legislative delegations with the delegations from Portland and Van couver was held In a committee room of the Commercial Club. After a thorough discussion of the project, the Senators and Representatives from the Legislatures of the two states .dis missed their hosts for a time and held a secret session. Last night they were not prepared to announce outright the results of their conference, although they declared that it means. In their estimation, the success of the enter prise. It was suggested among other things in the afternoon meeting that the Washington bill be drawn up to call for a joint interstate committee of six to have charge of the bridge con trol. The three uppolnted. from Wash ington will consist of the Governor. Highway Commissioner and one other to be chosen by thent This bill will be passed contingent upon similar action by the Oregon Legislature, l.vfere. I. done. Heartily. In speaking of the advantages that would accrue both to the states in dividually and collectively, and to the various counties of each state. Senator p. E. Lofgren, of Oregon, propounded the suggestion that the counties should be rated In proportion to their distance front Multnomah County. That was the opinion of many of the citizens with whom he had discussed the matter. and he considered It would meet with considerable approval. He assured them that he was for the interstate bridge, "first, last and for all time," and in saying this he passed an encomium upon " that part of the vnciititi which com-oelled a man to go into Parliament "not hiding his ideas from his constituents, but having in formed them clearly of his opinions on all the matters of moment." "That is why I am glad to take this stand now and to tell you publicly of my attitude." N. D. Coffman, representative for the southwest section of Washington, president of the Southwest Washington Development League and a banker of prominence, dwelt upon the change from the Legislature of earlier years to that of tho present time. Harmony Modern Programme. "Today we are working, not so much, if at all, for the benefit of separate sections of the state as for the .good of the wholo state, and therefore I would urge a campaign of a 'get-together character rather than a i'lght lng one, as being more likely to be productive of results." Then, by means of numerous illus trations, ho showed how every trend in the states today was towards the democratic: towards the sharing of all benefits equally among all and the surrender of selfish interests in a de sire to profit the community. "Along that line you will be able to see how tho Interstate bridge Is yet another illustration of our true democracy and for that reason I will give my hearty support to the pro posal." Wide Circle Benefits Senator D. A. Scott, of Adams Coun ty. Washington, declared himself a believer In tho greatest good for the greatest number, and thereby in the elevation of the people. He consid ered that an Interstate bridge would be one means of conferring benefits upon a wide circle of people in both states and for that reason would give the proposal his earnest and careful consideration. Representative L. W. Field, of Lewis County, in a brief speech declared his willingness to do all he could to fur ther the promotion and the meeting was brought to a close with an ad dress by Henry Crass, president of the Vancouver, Wash., Commercial Club, who, after thanking the Portland club for the great interest, stated that not for one moment did he pretend to en tertain the proposiion that the bridge was not coming now and at this ses sion. "There can be no sane, sensible business Teason against it. The Co lumbia River is the strategic point on the whole Coast, the Columbia River Is the great Pacific Highway, the county road of all Toads, and the bridge la bound to come, and It must come soon."
