"This is Indeed a great week for the

jects," said Governor Alexander. "I
have come down the Columbia, through
Cclilo canal and past a score of towns

Water Meet ia Locks.
The ceremony of the transfer of the
Oregon City locks was followed by
'"the meeting of the waters." A vessel
containing lower river water was held
by Miss Wilberta Babbidge, "of Port
land, nueen of the Willamette, while
Hiss Katie M. Sullivan, of this city,
fueen of the falls of the Willamette,
lwiured in a bottle of upper river -water.
jiII.hs Jear.ette McBaln, daughter of Mr.

ceremonies.
As Miss Sullivan poured in the bottle
filled with upper river water, she said:
"With the meeting of these waters, I
declare the locks and canal at Oregon

Senator Walsh then declared that
Oregon City was the scene of the foun
dation of civilization on the Pacific
Coast. "The river is the natural trad"
route, and by developing and encourag
ing water transportation we build up
a country and aid all classes of peo
ple," he said.
N. Teal, the "father of the open
river," said that waterways should not
be used as a club in beating down rail
rates and that each means of communi
cation Is predominate in its own limits.
Waterways bring business and develop
with the eonstruotion of railways, he
declared. Following the greatest water
ways development is the busiest and
greatest railway system, the most com
merce, and the greatest factories, he
said.
Mr. Teal said that the history of Ore-pon-
reads like a romance. The courage
and tlie determination of-the hardy
pioneers had built up the state and he
expressed the hope that the next gen
eration would show the same spirit. -Governors

Governor Withycombe and Governor
Lister exchanged courtesies, the Ore
gon, executive going to the celebration
at Vancouver and the Washington
Governor coming here. Governor Lis
ter humorously said that he had a
quarrel with Governor- Withycombe at
Lewiston. "Governor Withycombe said
that Oregon was the greatest state In
the Union and I, like all true Wash
ingtonians, declared that my state was
the best," he said. "We ended the dis
cussion without resorting to Blows,
however, when the Governor of your
state declared that at least Oregon and
Washington were the best states In the
Union.
"Oregon, Washington and Idaho will
get on the wagon January 1, and it Is
appropriate that we should remove all
obstructions to the water before that
time."

ROBBERY YET MYSTERY
REPORTED HOLDUP OF CAR NEAR
MILtVAUKIB PUZZLES OFFICERS.
Sellwood Policeman Told, of Hljuwsy.
Men by Excited Party Who Dis
appears Soon After.
An automobile bound for Oregon City
turned into a narrow cut just north
of Milwaukie and came to a stop. The
glare of the headlights revealed a cable
stretched across the road, an automo
bile stopped and its occupants stand
ing up with their hands thrust in the
air. A man with, a revolver was be
side the car,
Complete mystery surrounds this re
ported automobile holdup Wednesday
night. Although evidences 'of the crime
were found by Deputy Sheriffs Phillips
and Ward, no report has been made by
those who are said to have been held
up, nor have the authorities been able
to locate the people who excitedly told
Patrolman White about it at Sellwood.
The occupants of the car that reached
Sellwood were much excited. The driver
said as soon as he, saw the machine
ahead of him being held up, he re
versed quickly, backed out of the cut
and sped back to Sellwood. When
Patrolman White rushed to a telephone
to report the robbery to headquarters
the automobile left, and the identity
of its occupants was lost. The offi
cer did not get the number of the car.
A steel cable stretched across the
road, the tracks of an automobile
which had swerved to the roadside to
avoid striking the cable, and footprints
about the side of the road, were the
only signs found by the deputies when
they reached the scene of the reported
holdup Wednesday night. Further in
vestigations were made yesterday
morning, but with no better results.
A similar holdup was staged in the
same spot Sunday night, April 25. The
authorities believe the same men are
responsible for both robberies. They
are now looking for the victims of the
last holdup.
BAGGAGE LAW ATTACKED
Transfer Company Want9 Anti-So-Jicitins
Measure Knocked Out,
Seeking to break the "anti-solicitor"
ordinance on grounds " of unconstitu
tionality, the Baggage & Omnibus
Transfer Company yesterday filed suit
in County Clerk Coffey's offiee against
the City of Portland. The ordinance,
which was passed in 1913, prohibits
transfer companies from soliciting
business in depots or baggage-rooms
or from doing business through spe
cial contracts with the railroad com
panies. The transfer company alleges that
the ordinance is being construed to
break a contract with the railroads
whereby baggage is cheeked by the
transfer men directly from the custom
er's home to his destination. The
transfer company asks a restraining
order prohibiting the city from fur
ther enforcement of the ordinance.
