THE MORNING OREGOXIAX. FRIDAY, SEPTEMT1ER 18, 1914. OPEN TO , IS PROJECT Speakers at Waterways Con vention at Spokane Picture Wondrous .Change. FARM HEAVEN FORECAST Promise Made That Development "Will L-Iglit Every Banch of Zone With Electricity Astoria Represented Beet. SPOKANE, Wash., Sept. 17. (Spe cial.) Optimism looking to the not distant days when steamers will ply the Columbia River from its mouth to British Columbia and on the inter secting Snake River to and far beyond Lewlston, Idaho, were features mark ing the opening of the Columbia and Enake River Waterways convention to day. But even more interesting to many of those in the audience were the promises that with the development resulting from opening of the Co lumbia and Snake rivers will come the development ot electric energy thai will light all the homes in this vast territory, that for more than 400 miles along .the course of the Columbia in Eastern Washington every farmhouse will be lighted by electricity from cellar to garret, that power will be furnished to do the farm work and re lieve farmers and housewives of the cities and the towns of practically all the drudgery that now is their lot. Pioneer Captain at Helm. Captain W. P. Gray, one of the oldest steamboat men in the Northwest, president of the Columbia and Snake River Waterways Association, presided. At the morning session Mayor Hind ley welcomed the delegates to the city and lauded the project they are advo cating. Gordon C. Corbaley, secretary manager of the Chamber of Commerce, represented President Thomas S. Grif fith in extending the greetings of Spo kane to the assembly. F. J. Welch, engineer of the Port of Astoria, read the principal paper at the morning ses sion. His theme was "Open River Serv ice Mrom the Mouth of the' Columbia to the Interior." Governor Lister was vociferously ap plauded because of his enthusiasm over the open rivers project. Other speakers at the afternoon session were R. C. Beach, president of the Idaho State League of Commercial Bodies, who dwelt on "Columbia and Snake River Improvements Not in the Pork Barrel Class;" N. W. Durham, of Spokane, who spoke on "The Effect of the Adamson Bill of Hydro-Electric Development of Northwestern Rivers," and Charles E. Warner, an engineer, of Portland, whose topic was "Practical Uses of Hydro-Electric Power." Astoria Sends Throng. There was no evening session, the delegates taking part in the banquet attending the opening of the new hotel. Astoria sent the largest delegation to the meeting. Their literature boosting the project was distributed and their banners were posted about the room. In his address Chairman. W. P. Gray eaid in part: "We are interested in deepening the channel of the rivers to the head ot tidewater so that ocean cargo carriers can come and go without delay; in com pleting the Celilo Canal, so that steam boats and barges may ply to the heart of the Inland Empire; in the improve ment of the Upper Columbia to eKttle Falls, and bring about the canalization of the Snake River from its mouth to Lewiston. We are also interested in the development of hydro-electric power and good roads on land as adjuncts to navigable rivers. We hope the citi zens of your city will assist us." Progress of Navigation Cited. Engineer F. J. Welch, of Astoria, gave a history of the development of navigation on the Columbia from the establishment of the Astoria trading post at the mouth of the river in 1811 to the present. He told, of the prog ress of work on the locks in the river from the time such work was started 88 years ago until now. He called at tention to the fact that with river de velopment freight rates from Portland to The Dalles have been reduced to 2. He told of the reductions that had been made by the Northern Pacific from Pasco to the Coast and said the O.-W. R. &N. Co. had made general reductions to all river points. Mr. Welch said he was not against the railroads, but that there is room for both the railroads and the open river business.. He, pointed to the .great territory to be served by open rivers as another reason for far greater expenditures in the opening of the rivers. Power Spread Predicted. Charles E. Warner, consulting en gineer of Portland, said that while electric power is now transmitted 250 miles, in a few more years it will be transmitted 1000 miles or more; that a plant at Pasco would bo able to sup ply power to Boise, Astoria, Belling ham, or Victoria, B. C; that the great est hydro-electric system in the United States Is in Spokane; that in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana near ly as much waterpower already has been developed as in New England, and that in these states there is al ready developed a great deal more hydro-electric power than in all New England; that in Colorado, Texas and California Irrigation by pumping has , developed rapidly and that there is a great field for such development In this section of the country. T. Waldo Murphy, of Edendale, said that while it had been estimated it would cost from $50,000,000 to $75 000 -000 to open the Columbia from Celilo to British Columbia, the project would develop enough power to operate all the factories in the West, and would heat and light every house in the ter ritory. Savins for Farmer Seen. W. W. Harrah, of Pendleton, a wheat farmer, declared that the power to be developed by opening the river could also be utilized so as to eive cheap rates for handling grain by the operation of mechanical contrivances. whereas under the present system it costs the Western farmer about 20 cents a bushel more to handle his grain than it costs the Eastern farmer. N. W. Durham called attention to the great possibilities of the oDenlni? and development of these rivers to result from the accompanying development of power. He analyzed the Adamson bill and showed how it would Interest cap ital in the development of the water ways by giving a return on the in vestment and said that there seemd no longer opposition to permitting mirh invested capital to have franchises for ou years.

OFFICIALS TAKE NO ACTION Two Commissioners Recall That Subject Lost When Put to Popu lar Vote System Declared . to Chase Investors Away. Whether boycott banners as paraded before a number of business houses of the city are to be forced off the streets is an issue before the City Commission. About 200 business men and others appeared before the Commission yes terday and entered protest against -the practice. The complaint of the business men that boycott banners are a dis grace to the city and a detriment to capital and labor were concurred in by a number of workingmen, who spoke. Although a large number of representatives of organized labor at tended the meeting, none spoke In fa vor of the boycott signs. Frank Cady and Tom Bowen, soapbox orators, who are said not to be members of local unions, defended the boycott-banner custom. Two Would Put It to ' Vote. Only two Commissioners expressed their views on the subject Commis sioner Daly said he believed it should be decided by the people and not by the City Council, and Commissioner Brewster said he believed also that popular vote might be the test way to settle the question. It is probable that a proposed ordinance will be submitted to the Council and that an opportunity will be given opponents of the measure to invoke the referendum. If this course la not adopted those wanting the boycott banners removed may ask the Commission to adopt an initiative measure for submission to the voters or the question may be put up to the voters by initiative petition. The delegation of business men was led by Thomas McCusker, who cited the La Grande Creamery Company as one of the concerns being persecuted by the boycott system employed by the Central Labor Council. Courts Deemed Ponrrleim. "It's a persecution which cannot be coped with in the courts," said Mr. Mc Cusker, "and the Council should take steps to do away with it by ordinance. It's a case of one class infringing upon the rights of another." "They are threatening to boycott my place," said W. Margulis, "because 1 employ nonunion counter boys in my nickel eating-house. If I should pay their prices it would put me out of business. I am trying to do some good for the unemployed for the down-and-out laborer yet they Interfere." "The question of boycott banners has been before the trustees of the Cham ber of Commerce several times," said A. H. Averill. "We have decided that some action should be taken, as it has caused much criticism of our city." Investors Scared, la Plaint. "Labor -unions are standing in their own light," said J. Fred Larsen. "Re cently I talked to persons who wanted to start in business here. I was show ing them around and they spotted one of those boycott banners. I explained, but It did no good. They went else where. That deprived the city of money and it deprived laboring people of money." "These banners." said H. D. Rams dell," are distasteful to persons coming here to Invest I am here to protest in the name of the Commercial Club and in the name of Llpman, Wolfe & Co. As to the company, I will say I do not know whether the boycott banner has hurt our business or not I do know that our business has Increased greatly in the last year In spite of the banner they have had in front of our store. 1 do not know why the banner is there." Banners Deemed Unfair. "I believe the majority of union men do not favor the boycott banner," said W. B. Mackay. "They are not fair and they do much harm to the city." Commissioner Daly declared that four years ago a measure against picket ing and boycott algcs was passed by the Council and referred to the voters and the measure was voted down. The same thing, he said, happened to a sim ilar state-wide measure. "Conditions have changed In four years," said Mr. McCusker.. "I believe the people now would vote against boycott banners." No- action was taken by the Commis sion. It la probable the subject will come up again in ordinance form within a few days. PROJECT MAY BE SAVED BIG LOST RIVER. PROPOSAL BEFORE IDAHO LASD BOARD.
