E
VERY " MAN living- in '.' Oregon, northern Idaho
" mnA ft-n Wachinotnn if deeolr interested in
' r the growth and development of
-'.- . . . . ,
one at last realises tnaiine. outcome k)k
reached in only one way and that is through the utilira
tion of' the jtreat 'water way that drains the Columbia
V Valley. It was the. realization of, this that tipited all the
; ! people of these three great sections, into a ' common
purpose, which, led the legislature of Oregon to appro
priate a large anna for, the building of the portage rail
P way at Celilo and private citizens of Oregon, eastern
)J Washington and northern Idaho tof unite in supplementing-
by subscriptions the sums heeded id complete and
r -' equip that great enterprise. They reglixed, as we do
; , here, that no matter what, was done otherwise unless
1 the eight and a half miles of river impedimenta in the
1 Columbia between Celilo and the Big Eddy were over
come by temporary railroad while awaiting the con
struction of the government xaoaL, that all other, efforts
' r would be in vain. : But many of them realized at the
- asm time that thiay: while much,: was not everything,
There were plenty of boats in commission below the Big
. f Eddy to take care of the. traffic, but there must be boats
above CelikTto bring it "to the portage railroad, which
' '. beads there.' "-"-. "u-V , -:'-v ' "..''..,.''
It is that project which fs now engaging 'public at
' zentkntand it.'ia gratifying to. note the interest-it is
.arousing.. It i felt that the river is the key to the whole
' railroad situation, that through that avenue freight rates
' can be regulated and the building of feeders forced.' The
whole tection of country tributary toi Lewiaton has been
deeply aroused. Seventy-five .thousand 'dollars baa al-
ready been 'subscribed for the purpose, of building electric
. ' lines to .tap the rich farming country and -to carry the
products to the river so that they may be sent to sea.
The people there; as well as the people in eastern (Wash
ington and Oregon,-fully realize that if anything is' to
be done they must do it themselves. They are perfectly
' satisfied that they have hit the solution of the,, great
question before them and they are attacking it in a
, masterful way.' They must not only help' to. secure the
. boats but they must undertake the task of getting the
products of the farm to the river. , A
an Lewtston expressed the belief that the building ol an
electric road which is now projected for this purpose
would add $4 in value to every acre of farm, land tribu
tary to the new line and if every farmer- submitted to a
tax of only $i an acre they could raise $400,000 for this
purpose.-..- ' .. "" '-: . 'T ' - '
The spirit back of these enterprises is the spirit that
wins. It is the spirit which has accomplished 'the ap
parently impossible. This is gratifying because it means
the dawn of! a new and better day for this important
section of the country. It spells growth and develop-
.ment and therefore raeriu the practical encouragement
, of every resident in the great sections which will, be
' ' affected! .-.'.ij.... ,,:; .'.'.. -r';;.;'-.,;-' v- v':'.t '' -:

railroads, that perhaps do not exist to so great an extent
r. in. any other city.1 First, it is, said, the service has be
'come intolerably bad. Then all requests for cheaper

that a New York' syndicate headed by - J. P. Morgan

of relief or adequate 'benefit to the people of Chicago.

IN IRRIGATION IN KLAMATH VALLEY, ; "
APPARENTLY IT HAS teen unfortunatethough
1 perhaps only apparently for the Klamath val
., I ley that there has been a prolonged conflict there
between two large irrigation projects, one .that of
private company that has expended much money and the
other that of the government acting through its reclama
tion engineers. The private Sompany was first in the
field and aecured many contracts for the use of water
from land owners and expended a good deal in constructing
a portion of a necessary canal. Then the government came
forward with larger project; covering in part the same
territory, and these conflicting jf nor rival projects Jiaye
been the large bojne of a great deal of acrimonious con
tention over there. , It would seem that the contest must
be about over,' h6wever, nd that the private" company
will be obliged to yield to the government's worfcTTor
the government has decided that Klamath lake and river,
from which the private company must obtain their wa
ter, are navigable waters and not aubject to private use
without the government's consent. ... Moreover, a law
passed by the last legislature is intended to-support . the
government's ' as against the private ; corporation's pro
ject.; .So unless the latter, accepts the government's offer
of compensation, condemnation proceeding! will be be
gun and the government will thus secure -the corpora
tion's rights and improvements. - : . '
- The settling of this contention and the prosecution
of the government's large project will be of vast benefit
to the Klamath valley. A large are of land there is
susceptible of irrigation,.which will render it productive
and conseauentlv verv valuable. Other "reclamation en
terprises will doubtless follow, perhaps on a smaller
scale, but we may expect to see many thousand acres of
that arid but if irrigated productive land brought under
cultivation within the next few years, thus adding greatly
to Klamath county's population and wealth. It would
not be surprising if in these respects greater progress
were made over there within the next 10 years tnan nave
been made in the last 40. 'And what is to happen there
will also happen frt a greater or lest degree in the. vast
neighboring county of Lake. . J V ' ; ,- v; ;
Then the transportation problem will be the next one
for the people over there to confront, and it is one that
directly and vitally interest Portland. , - -
THE CULMINATING NAVAL CONTEST. .
JUST A -MERE TRAGEDY of the aea or a naval
engagement?, is the world's eager question of the
r imoendins- conflict of fleets off the oriental coast
A' majority-of thinkers apprehend the former,-although
the numerical rating of Kojestvensiry'S toree aoes not
warrant the conclusion. If the heavy armored vessel is
the ruling naval factor yet, Russian should not be given
any odds in the contest, other considerations being equal
' But the world admittedly 'expects ' " tragedy. We
have been trained to this belief in a remarkable. sequence
of events th past year. A count of reapective strength
units is scarcely accorded Russia any more. If Russians
were incapable -of rendering any .account of It. fine
armored vessels comprising her first Pacific fleet, where
in may we expect anything now? Rojestvensky must
fio-ht aoon, Tosro will choose the time and place." Months
and one. continuous voyage. of, 3,000
miles through the Indian ocean baa left the Hunted iieet
in wretched condition, while Togo . is just frqm the
drydock. Japan has an immense torpedo flotilla, with
perhaps ,30 or more vessels available for immediate serv
ice against the . Baltic ' squadron. Japanese destroyers
have proved demons, always ; present jwhea4eaat-'- ex
pecTedHflddriving home where no-veascl-was-thonght
able to- live. Rojestvensky . will soon be haunted by
something more substantial than the phantasies that
caused wild firing into the fishing smacks of the North
-V.--' i - V ''...:.
; If neutral port do not again rob the Japanese of
prizes fully won, the Baltic fleet is not likely to have
many more hoars under the Russian flag. Togo, may
await the advance until near Ms naval base on r ormosa,
but is likely to strike while the enemy is within reach,
wherever it may be found. It would not be advisable
with the repaired Vladivostok squadron.
nor does it appear probable that he would care to scatter
his fleet in quest of Rojestvensky should the latter be
permitted to choose his passage to the north. . Naval
experts agree that the crisis is near, perhaps has already
been reached, while the world is ready for particulars

piece of literature appeared: .' .
"How it must grieve the new mothers
to read of th Hana Christian Andersen

Tha above display of ignorenc would
hav been passed by in silent contempt,
had It not been that aa representative
of tb Danish in this city. I feel It my
duty to protest-that such trash should
ever find ita place In th Oregonlan.
Even had the writer been born outside
th limit of th moat remote backwoods,
be might have heard th laughter and
merriment of tb Innocent children from
reading or healng of many ofAnder

th tears of Joy rolling down th round

f Hana Christian Andersen's Immortal

April II. We again set off early. With
clear, pleasant weather, and halted
about 10 for breakfast above a. sand
bank which waa falling In and, near a
small willow Island. On both sides of
th Missouri, after ascending tha hills
near the water, one fertile,, unbroken .
plain extendei itself aa far- aa th. y
can reach.- -without a - solitary trae or
ghrub, except in moist situations or In ;
th steep decllvltlea of hills where they
are sheltered from the ravages of fire.
At the distance of ,11 miles ws reached
th lower point of bluff on the aoutli,
which to In some parte ,on Are and '
throws out quantities of smoke which j
haa a strong sulphurous smell, tha coal
and other sppea ranees In the bluffs be
ing like those described yesterday.
At 1 o'clock - we . overtook , three ; ;
Frenchmen who toft th fort a, few. days
before u In order to, make tha first st-;
tempt en this river of hunting beavr,
whjch they do by means ef traps;, their
efforts promise to be successful, for
they have already caught II which ar
finer than eny we hav vr seen; they.,
mean to accompany us ss-fsr ss the
Yellowstone river in order to obtain our ,
protection against the Asstntbeina, who
might attack them. In th evening, we
encamped on a willow point to the. south
opposite te a bluff, abov which a amall
crek falla in. end Juat above a. remark
able bend in th rlvr to th eduthwest,
which w called th Llttl Basin. The
low- ground which ws passed today
possess more timber - than usual, and
re wider; th current to moderate, at
leaat not greater than that et the Ohio .
In high tldee; the baMts. too. fall in
but little, so that tbs navigation com-
pared with that lower down th Mis
souri is safe and easy. We ware enabled
te make 1IV4 mile; we saw th track
of a large whit boar; thr warn also
a herd of antelope In th plains; th
gee and swan are now feeding In con
siderable quantities on the young grass.
In tbe .low prairies; w shot a prairie -hen
snd bald eaglet of which there
were many nesta in th tall Cottonwood
trees, but1 ciruld. not proour neither of
two elk which were in th plain. Our
old .companions, th - moaqnttoea, have
renewed their visit and gave us much
uneasiness. ? 7 'i,t.v,'
