Congressman From Illinois Pledget
His Support to River" Improve
ment and Review Other Proj
ects Throughout Country.
rmtam lorimer. of Chicago, a mem
br of Congress from Illinois and th
apostle of deeper waterways, reached
Portland yesterday. He spent the day
In consultation with the business inter
ests in order to gain a better idea of
what Is needed here In the way of river
improvements. Mr. Lorimer ia a mem
ber of the rivers and harbors commit
tee of the House and his trip to the
roast Is to rain a first-hand knowledge
of the actual conditions here so he
can act Intelligently when the Pacific
Coast appropriation come up In Con
gress. In a speech to the business men
assembled at the Commercial Club
luncheon today. Congressman Lorimer
pleda-ed his support to the Improvement
of the Columbia River.
explains Great iiulf Project.
Mr. Lorimer wears his hair Ion.
He looks like a Chautauqua lecturer
nd wears a white tie. He Is enthus
iastic In the Improvement of the Amer
ican waterways and was one of the
first to work for the I,akes-to-the-Gu!f
project. He has talked better water
ways In and out of season. Equipped
with maps showing- what can be ac
complished by opening- the Miaslsslppl
Kiver throughout Its length to vessels
of 20 feet draught, he has preached
the gospel of waterways Improvement
throughout tha Middle West.
Mr. Lorimer has Invaded the little
towns of his own state, taken posses
sion of the courthouse and sent out a
man with a horn to get the people out
to the meetings. Then he would ex
plain what should be used to deepen
the rivers. Every town he visited
wanted those Improvements only that
would benefit that section. But after
years of this campaigning, he succeed
ed in getting the different section to
outgrow their local prejudices until
all were working together for the com
mon good.
Will Inspect Columbia Jetty.
Mr. Lorimer via first elected to Con
gress In 18S. He was out one term.
On the present trip he la accompanied
by his son. He will go to Astoria this
morning and will look over the Jetty
work at the mouth of the river. Re
turning, he will go to The Dalles to
look at the Upper River and consider
its needs.
In his speech to the Commercial Club
members at noon yesterday. Mr. Lori
mer pointed out the magnitude of the
Lakes-to-the-Qulf project and its Im
portance to the Pacific Coast. He said
Illinois Is pledged to spend $100,000,000
and has already appropriated S0.OOO.
nn to construct this great waterway.
The plan, when completed, will admit
of the Lake steamers passing down the
Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mex
ico, pass through the Panama Canal
and proceed to the Pacific Coast ports.
He pledged his support to the Pacific
t'oast river and harbor Improvements
at the next session of Congress.
"I have not heretofore had an op
portunity to see the whole Coast." said
Mr. Larimore in an interview yester
day afternoon, "and I decided to take
two days and see what Is needed to
Improve the Columbia River. There
has been much discussion of the Co
lumbia River improvements and the
people of the country do not under
stand what Is needed. When large
Mims of money are asked for tha river
Improvements, th.re should be gen
eral information about what the bet
terments wlil accomplish. I came
here to find out about the Columbia
River and now that I am here, I can
see what It means, not only to Oregon
and Portland, but to the whole United
States, to have this waterway prop
erly Improved. I can learn more by
seeing the river myself than by talk
ing of the engineers' and seeing
profiles.
Means Much to West.
"We are going to tske up the Lakes-to-the-Gulf
project In earnest at the
next Congress. I have been working
on that project since I was elected
the first time. I have no doubt now
about the improvements of the Mis
sissippi River and the completion of
the ranama Canal meaning a great
deal to the ports of the Pacific Coast.
One part of the work should co-respond
to that done at other points.
They should complement each other.
If we have a depth of !) feet through
out the 1-narth of fhe Mississippi
River, we should have at least an
equal depth at tho Pacific. Coast ports.
1 want to see what 1 needed to be
done to harmonise the different
projects to each other.
The Improvement of the lower Co
lumbia River Is the big thing here.
Fut there is no reason why all these
Improvements should not be going
along, hand in hand. Instead of giv
ing small amounts and stringing the
work along for years. I think we
should complete the Job as we go
along. This is the practical way and
more money is saved to the Federal
Government In this way than In any
other. Congress has averaged I19.000.
H00 on river and harbor Improvements
for the past several years until last
year, when $40.0i0.000 was appropri
ated. The srntlment now of the com
mittee Is to take on these important
projects and finish them.
Will A No Gain Railways.
"The Columbia River improvement I
in Important on - and goes hand in
hand with the best of them. The
Panama Canal construction is making
these projects more necessary ail the
time. When your waterways are Im
proved, you are improving your rail
ways at the same time and regulating
rates as well and without destroying
the railroads while It is being done.
This is shown in my own city. Chi
cago made Itself a great port and the
railways kept coming until It became
the biggest railway center of the coun
try. The construction of the canal
tnd Lake Michigan did it.
"The work for better waterways has
accomplished a great deal in this
country. At first every fellow wanted
tnlv his particulaf section Improved.
Now they are working together for the
general good. The work for the Lakes-to-the-Gulf
project - has resulted in
greater interest and better appropria
tions for all parts of the country."

Because he came home In a semi

The Best of Christmas
Gifts
A DIAMOND
There is no gift for man
or woman so acceptable, so
much to be desired or 'so per
manently valuable as a really
fine diamond!.
If yon wish to confer upon
any one this most beautiful
of Christmas (rifts, or have
for YOUR OWN the very
finest grade of blue-white
stone in any setting you wish,
your first thought will be of
quality.
To those who are judges
of diamond quality, the
weight of a stone is of sec
ondary importance. The col
or and brilliancy, as well as
the accuracy in the cutting,
are first considered.
Every diamond in my
stock, from the largest, highest-priced
stone in my collec
tion down to the little fellow,
is weighed in the most scruti
nising balance the judgment
of an expert as to its individ
ual worth. I have diamonds
that are not half their size,
but are worth double others
that do not have the bril
liancy, color and perfect cut
tings. For the reason that I know
every stone that I offer for
Bale its individual charac
teristics, that I can come for
ward and say that YOU can
not do better than to make
a selection from my stock.
There is no stock of dia
monds in the West that has
gone through a more rigid
examination thn mine, and
no dealer can more thorough
ly or conscientiously recom
mend his diamonds than I
can.
You who have the selection
of a fine diamond in mind
are invited to visit my store
and see stones that will bear
the scrutinizing inspection
of the best judges of the
country. Here you will find
stones whose brilliancy and
flawless cutting give them a
standing in the estimation of
those who are capable of
judging their real individual
worth.

Spinster of Fifty Seeks $15,000
Balm for Wounded Affections
Miss Mary E. Clay, Clairvoyant, Sues D. 0. Pritchard in State Circuit
Court for Breach of Promise.
up and which dwells feelingly on her
blasted affections. But -ntcnara will
none of It. And since she 'can't ;et him,
she wants his equivalent in gold. He
is worth $15,000 to her and she asks
the court to allow her such a sum.
This world is full of sadness.
TO be Jilted at near BO is a griev
ous thing. The cash equivalent of
such a sad misadventure Is just
115.000.
Such is the estimate, leastwise,
placed by Miss Mary E. Clay. And
the wav D. O. Pritchard is said to
have toyed with her coy spinister
heart is a thing best told to the ao
companiment of slow music, amid the
flow of sorrowing tears. The whole
tragic tale is set out in a breach-of-promise
complaint, filed with the Cir
cuit Court yesterday by the woman's
attornev. John F. Logan.
Last September the romance began.
Then Mary Clav was an innocent, trust
ing and confiding clairvoyant, trance
medium and palmist. She was engaged
in the worthy art of telling the unwary
about the future at so much per telL
And If young lovers had a quarrel,
they might be united by the occult and
beneficent Miss Clay but always at
so much per unite.
Such was the Innrcent. beneficent,
esthetic, helpful, extremely valuable
and decidedly remunerative art that
she was practicing when Romeo
chanced along, had his calloused palm
read and fell captive to the charms of
the fair seer. .
Life became joyous throe, xndead.
True, Prince Charming had hove In
view a trifle late but his coming was
all the more joyous as the consum
mation of untold years of vain long
ing. He was not exactly fine to look
upon, but he had sheckles, aye, many
sheckles. and that was something. So
she took another dip into the hidden
future and learned. O could It be
true, that they were to be wedded. The
Fates so decreed.
But the Fates lied. It wasn't ex
actly the first time they'd lied to Mary.
But it was awfully cruel to lie to her in
such a matter. Had she kept on delv
ing about in the occult she might have
discovered that Romeo was only
Lothario in disguise. But she didn't.
So. after two short weeks of un
broken happiness had ended, they went
to the Washington Gretna Green. 'Van
couver, the blushing bride of near 50
decked out In her finest. But at the
altar the bridegroom balked. Forget
ting all his sweet nothings he said the
wedding would have to be granted a
continuance. She demurred, but he
persisted, and it was so.
Twice he did this. And now two long
months have gone by and he is still
putting her off, "stalling'' with her, in
the vernacular of tha rabble. She is
willing, aye, anxious to marry him.
She says this plainly and specifically in
tha complaint which Mr. Logan drew
