THE 8UXDA.T OREGOXIAX, POKraA2rDt!'iJ?ltIL 8, H90i ROUTE 1 THE RIVER Very Enthusiastic Meeting Is Held at Walla Walla. PROJECT SEEMS ASSURED Proposed Line to Connect Cities of "Walla Walla and Columbia Coun ties With the Sea, and to Be Extended to Clarkston. WALLA WALLA Wash., April 7. (Spe cial.) A mass meeting of the farmers and business men of Walla Walla and Colum bia Counties was lield this afternoon In the Courthouse, in this city, for the pur pose of receiving the report of the com mitee on organization on the proposed electric line between the cities of the two counties and the Columbia River. The report revealed the fact that the project has been enlarged to include an extension from Dayton through Garfield and Asotin Counties to Clarkston, and that a company had been organized with a capital stock of J3.500.O00. A number of enthusiastic speeches were made in behalf of the feasibility of the project and the necessity of the people of the counties through which the road is to extend to subscribe for a sufficient amount of stock to control its manage ment. It was generally conceded that an in dependent electric line from the great pro ducing sections of the Inland Empire to the Columbia River would be a means of leveling freight rates in both directions. One speaker said: "When we get our grain to Wlllula, there is no doubt that a railroad will bo there to offer a fair rate to tidewater. If not, we can build boats and operate them with greater case thdh we did years ago, when there was one more portage than there Is now. We will consider no rate a fair one until the railroads will carry our wheat to Portland for $2.60 per ton." Representatives of the O. R. & X. and Northern Pacific were at the meeting but took no part in the discussion. President M, C. Moore, of the new corporation, an nounced that a crew of surveyors under Alfred F. Scars will be put In the field Monday. Letters of regret were read from J. N. Teal and A. H. Devcrs, of Portland. Mr. Teal wrote in part as follows: Xo city in the Northwest has a greater In tercst In this and kindred movements than has my own home the'Clty.of Portland. Sit uated practically at the Junction and almost at the mouth of these great rivers, through which under natural conditions the product of a great and growing section of this country would normally flow, it it not a matter for wonder that the people of Portland are vi tally Interested In the development of traffic through and by the waterways. Tour own section is in a like and equal manner inter wtrd ih obtaining through these means fair and reasonable freight rate and Increased power of distribution. What I say is 'not actuated by any deelre to Injure any existing transportation Inter vMh. but Is based solely upon the fact that the opportunity to correct many of the evils and disadvantaged we complain of and la bor under lies In our own hands. The great wealth-producing section of our common country, sometimes called the "In land Empire." is drained by two mighty rl ?ns flowing reslstleosly to the sea. Except for a few obstacles involving no great engineer ing or technical difficulties, these rivers are navigable for hundreds of miles-, and im proved as they should and will be. and used by those whoso burden bearers they would gladly be. will unquestionably settle and reg ulate the question or ratea for all of the great section lying (as oldtlmens my) cast of the mountains. This subject is- one that has been uppermost in my mind for many years, and I have often wondered In thinking o-cr it how It has been possible that the people of the three North western States, an empire In. extent and pro durtlvenewi. full of empire builders, the peers uf any pioneers, independent and elf-rellant. could have been so heedless and indifferent to huch powerful factors In their development. In every community under the min the water coutw have been and are the arteries of com merce, the great controllers of ratts. the keys to the transportation .problems. Their courses marked the line of developments and their grades and levels determined the lowest factor of transportation cost. But we have been under aomc spell, some hypnotic Influence, and we have allowed the Instrument Providence lilactd in our handu to go unused, to be of no benefit, until It almost became a belief that their chief, nay their only purpose, was to be part of a scenic attraction a pretty picture but of no use otherwise. Can you Imagine such great rlvcra In any part of this Union, In Burope. anywhere on the civilized globe, being permitted to re main closed to navigation? It Is unthinkable. In Europe they spend million on artificial waterway, even though the railroads are owned by tho governments. In New Tork but two years ago they voted $100,000,000 to deepen and otherwise Improve the Erie Canal. In the Mississippi Valley they arc working ior a channel from St. Taul to the Oul. Yet railroads are so numerous they are al most within gunshot of each other. Tet wc have allowed what would have been and arc rivers or wealth to roll heedlessly by. elmply a feature of the landscape, until finally lost In the embrace of the mighty Pacific The Interior has not only !one this, but 2'ortland has Jeen equally remliw. Hut the leople here are awakening: they are begin ning tp understand what the rivers mean to them. They have learned, as you have learned, that Stephenson's aphorism in reference to railroads is n true now as when first an nounced, namely, that there will be no com petition when combination Is possible. There may be north-bank roads and south-bank roads and roadn in the middle, but except on spe cial occasions, and then only for short times, will there be any "rate wars" or real compe tition on the basis of rates between rival roads. Once the rlvcra are opened it will not be long until you will see from maay points Bhorter or longer roads leading back Into the Interior, and, then there will be a development throughout your section, that is now but little dreamed of. In the opening of the river your uttentlon should not only be directed to the upper stretch, but to the mouth of the river aa well. It Is all a part of our great prob lem, and 1 can conceive of no greater advan tage accruing to the- Inland Empire than to have a number of great seaports bidding for lier products and her freight rates based on a water-level haul to the sea. In Portland we are now about completing an organization to place boats upon the Upper Columbia and Snake Rlvem. We have every reason to believe Lewlston will Join us In this enterprise, and we hope to have both Walla Walla and Pendleton as partners also. When We. stop to think what a united people cesld do it bound together by a common purpose and for the common good, one is almost awed by the possibilities. After expressing regret at his iaabUlty to be present. Mr. Devers wrote: Something Ima than a year ago I returned from a trip to Europe and I may say that nothing impressed me more than the wonder ful traffic on the waterways of the ceetlBent, especially in Germany, in France, in Holland and in Belgium. Notwithstanding the enor mous expenses of standing armies, these coun tries epend many more million every year than the United States spends for the develop ment of their waterways) and the creation of new means or water transoortatlon.

BOISE COUXCIL QUIESCENT. o Farther Action Taken Regarding the Deposed City Officials. BOIBB, Idaho. April 7. (Special.) The City Council held a session ihh? evening, bat nothing was said or done regarding the seven city positions from which the officials were deposed by the Council Thursday evening. All but one of the 'ousted officials arc still performing the duties of their positions, and there are no signs that the Mayor end the Council have reached an understanding. It was rumored today that a portion at least of the appointments would be made at tonight's Council meeting, but there was no Indication that there was any more harmony between the Mayor and Councilmen than heretofore. In only one or two of the offices Is there a question of the capability of the officials raised, it being only on endeavor on the part of the Council to enforce Its rights under the city charter. City Attorney Kahn and Police Magis trate Locke had nex'er been appointed under the present administration, the reg ularity of this being the main point at Issue. This question is clouded In Locke's case by the personal business relations which exist between him and the Mayor. OUTLAW GANG IN SEATTLE LIVE OFF JAPANESE WOMEN' WHEN PLUNDER IS SCARCE. One ef Xumber Is Murdered Because He Violated the Cam-men Law of the Order. SEATTLE, Wash., April 7. (Spe cial.) Police Investigation of the mur der of Chlcklchi Toklo, the Japanese who last week was done to death by two hireling murderers belonclnc to a band of Japanese outlaws, has brought to light tho fact that this band of mer cenary assassins live off the earnings of Japanese slave women herded to gether In the southern part of the city, when the revenue from robberies, bur glaries, murders and assaults fall to supply sufficient money for them. The 40 women aro not only forced to supply the assassins with their earnings, but they are sold as slaves whenever their master? need more ready money than they can earn. The women, the polite believe, fur nish the motive for tho existence of the organized band. With the women out of the city there would be crimes com mitted by Individual Japanese, but the police would have little trouble In fer reting out the offenders and punishing them. For years Gondn, a Japanese now In Portland, was t he largest slaveowner and was chief of the outlaws. Now from the Investigation of the recent murder the police believe this office has fallen to Ben Talnaka, who engi neered the recent murder. Yoklo was murdered because he misappropriated $200 belonging to George Osuma. Five hundred dollars had been paid by Osuma for a slave girl. After the sale she returned to her former master. Osuma's money was returned to him through Toklo. The latter kept part of it and Nnkayama and Hayasha mur dered him and threw his body Into the street because lie violated the ethics of tho ring of slaveowners. PLAN TO SMUGGLE CHINESE Nipped In Bud by Federal Officials in Southern California. LOS ANGELES, Cal- April 7. (Spe cial.) Immigration officers have uncov ered plans for the most extensive whole sale smuggling of Chinese Into the "United States ever undertaken In South ern California. They are certain that within the next month, had not the plot been discovered, Chinese men and women would have been pouring into Los An geles Chinatown by scores, to be hidden, by their countrymen until they could be safely scattered. The general plan of the Los Angelcs Hedondo combination, which arc said to be the principals In the proposed smug gling venture, is said to have been to secure- from the Lower California Devel opment Company, an English syndicate which controls major portions of the peninsula territory, a concession for fish ing and the operation of rtshboats to points northward. All these fishboats. which were to run from Knsenada to San Diego or Newport Bay, were to be manned by Chinese, and the scheme was to Interchange these crews while at En scnada with cxecluded Celestials, and gradually work them over the border. Inspector Engelcke also has documen tary evidence to show that effort have been made to bring from Mazatlan to Ensenada a large number of Chinese women gathered from various Mexican towns. The promoters of the smuggling scheme expected to make a big thing out of It: as It Is, they have offers of t300 for each Chinese successfully "worked" through to United States territory.

PROBLEMS FOR ENGINEERS New Plans Mtist Be Made So That the Tracks or Hival Lines De Not Cross Too Many Time. . SEATTLE. Wash.. April T.-(Spcclal. Harriman and Hill Interest will settle the controversy over the Harriman ter minals In this city by conference. A definite agreement will be reached about the time the new Harriman line gets Its franchise In Seattle, the preliminary agreements affecting only the tracks that must be laid within the city limits. High officials of both the Hill lines and the Harriman system declare there Tfill be no bitter controversy over the coming of the Washington Northern. The Northern Pacific's freight yards at Argo sit at the entrance to Seattle from the south much like a cork In a bottle. Harriman plans for an entrance Into the city show that unless rome other agree ment can be made the new line would have to cross these yards, and inside the city cross four Hill tracks twice. This ia Impracticable, and new surveys are be ing run to locate a new entrance. The yards may be crossed on the cast side with a minimum of conflict. The Chicago. Milwaukee &. St. Paul avoided this trouble by Its trackage lease from the Pacific Coaia Company, of the Columbia & Pugcl Sound. This affords an easy entrance to the St, Paul's local terminals. There is nothing In the Pa cific Coast Company deal to prevent a similar arrangement with Harriman, but it will not be asked. In tho northern part of the city the Harriman plans indicate a crorring of the Great Northern freight terminals at Smith's Cove, to" reach the Harriman freight terminals. This difficulty will be straightened out by engineers of both roads. COLONIST HATES ALL SUMMER HHI Roads Ask Oilier Northern Lines to Continue. SEATTLE. Wash..

The 2 rate Is neces sary to Induce this travel, and the new roads must have the men. St. Paul dis patches today nay the last trains lett for the Coast crowded, and this record can be duplicated it the rates remain.

The fish are now on their upward journey to the spawning grounds arid if held at this place long many of them will be caught by fishermen, and many will die from being crowded In the stream unable to get away. The fish, ladder In the dam was well constructed by the company, but Is out of repair and unless something Is done to relieve the situation there will be great loss of the fine fish with which the Umatilla River is supplied by the state and Government.
