This is tho essenco of
a startling statement mado by Chair
man Ransdoll, of tho National Rivers
and Harbors conrgess, in a recent ad
dress beforo tho Portland Chamber of
Commerce. He stated that tho nation
al government annually expends $109,
000,000 for tho navy, $100,000,000 for
the army and $144,000,000 for pen
sions. Congressman Ransdell believes
that if tho United States can afford to
expend so vast a sum annually for war,
it surely can make at least substantial
appropriations for tho improvement of
the rivres and harbors. It has been
estimated that an appropriation of
$50,000,000 at tho coming congressional
session will aid materially in linprov
ing many of the present rivers and liar
bora and open others so that they may
become navigable and bo what at pres
ent they aro only supposed to be tho
main arteries of trade and practical rato
reducers. To do this the leading com
mercial organizations, and, in fact,
everyone interested in the welfare of
our country, is co-operating so that all
forces mav throw their influences to
gether and secure this appropriation
the effect of which will necessarily bo
inestimable.
Able men will head the Pacific
Northwest delegations to tho National
Rivers and Harbors congress which will
meet in Washiritgon, D. C, on the 6th
and 7th of December. The object of
those vdio compose this congress is to
sceure a national appropriation of $50,-
000,000 for the improvement of tho
rivers and harbors of this country and
with the tremendous influence of this
powerful oragnization there is no doubt
of success.
TRANS-MISSISSIPPI CONGRESS.
Speeches'and Discussions Cover Wide
Range of Subjects.
Kansas Citv, Mo., Nov. 22. Speech
es and discussions covering a wide range
of subjects took up the time yesterday
of the three sessions of the Trans
Mississippi Commercial congress. Im
provea waterways, insurance ana cur
rency reforms, the value of the Pan
ama canal as a means of enlarging our
trade relations with the South Amer
ican republics and the necessity of
closer relations between the United
States and those countries, the great
value to the South of improved levees
and the resources and needs of Alaska
were some of the topics touched upon.
The principal speakers were J. E.
Ransdell, representative in congress
from Louisiana; W. D. Vandiver, su
perintendent of insurance of Missouri;
Dr. W. S. Woods, president of the Na
tional Bank of ' Commerce of Kansas
City; John Barrett, United States min
ister to Colombia; Minister Calderon,
of Bolivia; Minister Pardo, of Peru;
Minister Cortes, of Colombia; Secre
tary Do Amaral, of tho Brazilian lega
tion at Washington; Representative
Morris Sheppard, of Texarkana, Tex.;
John G. Brady, of Boston, ex-governor
of Alaska, and Major T. I. Clarkson, of
Seattle.
Mr. Sheppard, who is credited with
being the youngest member of tho na
tional house, made an earnest plea for
tho upbuilding of the levee system, ai d
won warm applause from tho delegates
Ho began by declaring tho levee is one
of the most important factors in tho
economic growth of the United States
and of many other countreis.
Ho took tho various arguments urged
against levees, especially the claim
that they were an interference with tho
laws of nature and showed that the ar
guments were without foundation. Ho
demonstrated that thoro was- no real
conflict between irrigation projects and
leveo enterprises, showing that thoy
were tho product of entirely different
geographical conditions and had a com
mon aim, tno improvement oi mo pro
uuetiveness of tho sou.
of tho Citi
zens' Relief Committee of Forty, after
ward incorporated to liandlo relief and
Red Cross funds, consisting of 21 pronn
inent "business men of San Francisco,
received all funds and tho books of this
committee were oxnmined by General
Bates, a -representative of tho National
Red Cross society, sent from Washing
ton for that purpose, who declared
them kept under a system that guaran
teed their correctness.
"The Massachusetts Association for
tho Relief of California sent a commit
tee to San Francisco to investigate tho
methods of relief work. On its roturn
to Boston it made a report, going into
t e ail and covering ovorv point in the
work of relief in San Francisco. Tho
report of this committee resulted in the
immediate forwarding of the balance of
tho money in the hands of tho Massa
chusetts organization.
"James D. Hague, of4tho Now York
chamber of commerce committee for
the relief of San Francisco, spent aov
eral weeks in San Francisco, investi
gating conditions. After his report
was made to the New xork body, funds
to the amount of $500,000, held by tho
xvo.v lork committee wore ordered
turned ovor to the San Francisco relief
corporation."
Grand Ronde Farmers Market
Crops at Good Prices.
La Grando Farmers who planted
potatoes last spring aro reaping a boun
tiful harvest in tho Grand Rondo val
ley. The gross income from this year's
crop Is placed at $50,000 on tho output
of potatoes from this valley. It Is es
timated that 100 cars will bo necessary
to ship this season's crop. These fig
urea aro computed on tho basis of 1,000
acres with an avorago yield of 00 sacks
to tho acre. This has been tho yield
on unirriindcd lands on tho "Sand-
ridgo" section, and tho estimate la con
servative. Moro than half of tho entire
potatod acreage of the valley Is In the
vicinity of Imblon and Allcel.
Fields that havo produced 00 sacks to
tho acre and very many tracts have
done better than that give a not re
turn of $27.50 per acre. Tho gross re
ceipts from an acre at tho present price
of 05 cents per sack amounts to f.w.
Ono of tho prominent growers figures
tho cost of production per acre at
$11.50, as follows: Cultivating, $!I;
digging, and sacking, $3; sacks, $11;
seal, $1; hauling, $1.50.
The heaviest yield so far reported Is
that of A. J. Surby, of Cove, who has
secured 1100 sacks from an acre. At tho
present market price, Mr. Surby's In
come for an aero is $195, of which
about $183.50 Is net. A slx-acro field
on tho Oregon Red Annlo company's
eround. north of La Grando, gives a
vlold of 200 sacks nor acre. Theso no
tatoes aro grown entirely without irri
gation, and on account of their superior
quality aro ratal 10 cents higher than
the open market.
The returns from tho six acres will
be $900. The patch was planted' as a
matter of getting tho ground in suitable
condition for cultivation.

RUSH JETTY WORK.
General Mackenzie's Recommenda
tions for the Coming Season.
Washington, Nov. 23. General
Mackenzie, chief of engineers, in his
estimates recently submittal to tho
secretary of War, asks for only $1,000,
000 to continue work on the jetty at
the mouth of the Columbia river. In
his annual report, . however, General
Mackenzie makes clear tho necessity for
securing authority to expend an addi
tional $1,450,000, which will be ample
to carry tho south jetty to completion.
In his report General Mackenzie re
views the work that has been done at
the mouth of tho Columbia and points
out what remains to bo done beforo
the demands of commerce aro met.
No appropriation is now nealed for
improving tho Columbia river between
Vancouver and the mouth of tho "Wit
lamette.
Work on Tho Dalles-Celilo canal has
only just begun. In addition to money
already appropriated, $3,533,392 must
bo appropriated to complete this water
way. Only $50,000 lias been asked
for for the ensuing year.
No estimate has ever been mado of
the amount necessary to make tho up
per Columbia and bunko rivers nuvi
gable tho entire distance from Celilo
to Pittsburg Landing. Ten thousand
dollars is nealed next vear.

onel Hofer, of Salem, addressed tho as
sembly at tho university. Ho was full
of enthusiasm over tho development of
tho state of Oregon, and predicted that

two railroads enter tho state, that Coos
bay would seo the terminus on ono and
that country would shortlv develop a
city of 150,000, and Portland would bo
tho other center for the end of tho rail
road system. Two such thriving cities
would be of great benefit to tho state
