N. , Teal, attorney for the transportation . committee, submitted the following re port of work and results attending his ' trip to Washington, taken In the Inter est of the chamber's river and harbor improvement projects: i tr-'-Portland, Teb. i. l0.-To the Cham- .ber of Commeroe Oentlemen; In porting the results of my recent -trip east, made at your request. I will be as 'brief ss possible, as much that Is of immediate interest baa been fully re ' ported in the local papers. . . The partioular purpose .of my Visit . was twofold: To aid ss far as possible the senators from thia state in obtain . Ing an emergency appropriation for tha Improvement at the mouth of the Co lumbia river, and to attend the meeting of the National Rivers and Harbors congress at Washington, ; . Bmargeacy Appropriation. -The necessity for msklng an appropri ; atloo of 1400.000 to protect the work dona at the mouth of the river the past year has been urged not only by the senators from thls etate, jy cltlsens visiting Washington" but also most . .. strongly by the engineering department. In addition, othera residing east but who are largely interested In enterprises in this state have been and are doing all they can to aid in, obtaining It. , its necessity is conceded by all; the loss r- that will surely follow If the work is ' not protected is known to all, and yet tne appropriation is far from 'assured. . The demsnds for money are so great In other quarters and for other purposes, and it seems so easy to- put the knife into any bill for rivers and harbors, that v there is in soma Influential quarters a determination to shut off any new ap .. proprtatlona for. thisgear. They. . to fear that an attempt to eare for any project, however meritorious or neces - eary.; will let the bars down'for all; In r other words. -If a start Is made it ia feared there will be general rivers and lierbors bill. . Just why there should " not be one when tha 'interests at stake . are so vaat and the work ao Important. I can't see. If tha recetpta wilt not admit of this I should think a reduction could be made pro rata and these great , Improvements be cared Tor. There la no question In my mind but whet the majority of the members favor one, but ' the leaders say, "No." I here great hopes, however, that tha emergency ap propriation will be made, but I do not ' think a greater sum thsn that necea. sary to preserve the work dona can be -obtained. . This leads to a snort presen--- tstlon of facts respecting rivers and - harbors bills, . which should be more generally understood 'than they are. - Barrel.' Tha usual designation of this bill, by those opposed to the appropriation is "perk banel," I lie puipeee being ta brsnd It aa covering a mass of unworthy projects and carrying large sums ' of money for the benefit of congressmen -liLJhetr respective districts without re- ga rd to public gftod: Neither Of to public gooa. TnT Inferences or charges are true. When a project cornea up for con sideration it is' first referred to the engineers for report. These men are well Informed- specialists, Independent, , . high-minded and fair, and their .reports are statements' of fact with their opinion ' Thereon after a" careful investigation. , This report If covering a very lmpor - tent project may and often does go to a board of engineers for further Investi gation and report It Is then returned , to the rivers and harbora committee of the house and only a meritorious prpject .. gets by them. It then - hss - to pass muster of the whole house.- From there ; tha senate committee on commerce takes it In hand, and when: they get through it goes to the senate as a body. - If there are differences between the bodies a committee Is appointed td adjust them, and with the president' signature the bill beoomes a Ism There la nothing that la ao effective ' In discouraging and - preventing appro priations for the harbors and rivers .as "T this unfounded idea, so carefully foe ' tered and circulated, that tha bill is a , "pork barrel,' and In no way can we further our Interests In this respect more than In disabusing the people's minds on this point. Moreover.' com 'peratlvely small sums are spent by the government on rivers and harbors. The moet Important feature of tha develop 'ment of our country and the one that does mora good to more people than any other Is made not only tha butt of ' every cheap wit la made to carry not . only the odium of tha chargs of graft, ' hut It la tha first to suffer when tha knife Is to be. used. . tjt uaae how tha appreorlatlona Tor these purposes compere with others. It is well for you and tha people of the northwest to know' tha facts end resllse what you ara up against. We will take for comparison the appropriations oover Ing'the period of 11 years from life to lnboth inclusive. . - The total approprlatlBtnnr aTTBTrifls ; for all purposes during this period were ... l.02M14.l2t.. The total appropriations for rivers and harbors. - including aroonnts in sundry civil, deficiency snd special acts, for tha same period wr I224.I22.12S. being but a trifle over t per cent of the whole. In other words, the annual appropriations for rivers snd , harbors averaged, about S1M0.M. With between three and four hundred '.million of approved projects. It ts easy to figure on the present basis of appro prUtlons that some of us will be pretty old men before tha various works now . tinder wsy are completed. As the wsr with .Spain oewarred during thiaV period It may he e-l tat Its cost ran hp tha of"- ' - the 'to and -harbors i2.6l,207, or about 2 H per cent of tha whole. Bach of seven other general appropriation bills carries mora annually than does tha rivers and harbors bill. Bo far from being extrava gant I think this bill is the least ao of them all. Five times during the period mentioned eongreaa passed no bill nd this year, will make the sixth, which brings up another phase of the matter and tnat la theonceded losi through failure of funds at critical times to carry on or to protect tba work. Tha waste from this csuss Is enormous. Our own experience at tha mouth of the river Is -a 'sufficient illustration and this Is going", on ' In varying degrees all- over tha United States. At first glance one Is apt to get discouraged, particularly when he knows thst urgent demands are made from every part -of the United States for worthy projects, -and projects Just ss dear to tha residents of their section as ours ara to us. The remedy lies In our hands, I am no believer In standing back If we have anything tq ssy. Tou will never get anything unless you not only ask but press for it. The people csn get what they want . To make their wants known and their de sires carried out there must "be educa tion and organisation and the former will come through the latter. The con sensus of opinion Is that thsre should bo an annual rivers and harbora bill and that at least $60,000,000 should be provided until present projects are com pleted. . How ara we to get ItT There seems to ta no trouble In getting mil lions for Panama, millions for the Philippines, and for almost anything outside the United States. Why should not Justice b shown to our owa while doing charity abroad T - It was for the very purpose of having Justice dona the National Rivera and Harbora congress was' formed and X will now tori you briefly Its object and purposes. . .mii At tha convention of this body held in Wsshlngton on January II, and It, l0i, there ware present delegates from SO states. In brief, tha organisation la to be handled by an executive commit tee of It members from various sections of tha United States. ' A vice-president from each state waa also appointed. Ita purpose Is to arouse a new Interest In the matter of rivera and harbors, to dlf fuse Information, and to ahow their 1m portanee, to disabuse the public mind of this 'toork barrel' Idea, and thus to crests sue hi a demand for reasonnble appropriation that congress must give heed to It, They went on record aa being In favor of annual appropriations of not - less than $0,000,800 until pres ent projects ara completed and I de sire to say here that if the delegate in attendance were fairly representative of their- respective-sections., this demand will soon be so strong that it will bo compiled with. Tha delegates present net lliuruuiTiiy pusisu, emrra elastic and determined. Every man preaent knew from actual experience what open waterways mean, even though from atates grldlroned with railroads. A ptcm find will "M "started and can be no- question aa to results. The chairman of tha executive committee ts Hon. Joseph K. Ransdall of Louisiana, member of the houae of representatives and of tha rivers and harbors committee. cultivated gentleman, a good speaker. of forceful and-, attractive personality and withal thoroughly In earnest on this subject. Mr. A. H. Devers ts one of tha executive- committee representing the northwest and Mr. J. W. Bennett of Marshfleld, Oregon, I vice-president for this etate. Mr. J. F. Ellison, SO Esst Front street. Clnclnnstt, Is secretary. As money and in considerable amounts will - be required - to push -the work..

I pledging for this' organisation 1100, which action t hop will bo ratified and tbe money promptly forwarded to tha secretary. I hope every commercial and waterway organisation in the northwest will Join and become members of this national association. If tha work la In telligently and consistently pushed there can be no question or Its success ir not it will fall, but It 1 well worth the trial.'7 It "may bo asked, how can the $60,000,000 be obtained If tha money is not on hand T In my Judgment If it come to that paes and no other way la open, the nation with the highest credit on the f aco of the glob ahould do what any business man or corpora tion would do under like circumstances, usa that credit, borrow tha money, aavo waste and complete tha work under way. That is just what waa done and to be done la raising money to build tba Panama canal, if the Income of tbe government Is Insufficient to Increase the . appropriations and thus cxpedita m mm nm ;. ; INSURANCE COMPANY . - Purely mutual to policyholders. , .- , "On rplanVlfiat have stood the test of time: ' ' ;".r Economically and cleanly administered. , .;' , 1. .

It Is unnecessary td waste tlme to tit unon' vou the Importance Of in proving thi tnootn of the vlveirsnd the waterways of the state, it ia occaeiou ally ausgested that' we drop everything until, tha . work at the mouth of the Columbia-is -completed. While every one concedes Its paramount Importance, vou will- nardon ma if I venture to ex oreea tha opinion, first, that from ouf stahdDoint it would be bad policy to at tempt It, even though you thought: it wise, nd second, you couhln't do it It you wsnted to. It Is better to start right snd In view of what I shall say hereafter. I discue thia matter now We mleht aa well face conditions as they are. No man could be elected to congress from this state who would stand for this policy, and you could get no one. either senator or represents ttves. to stand for it It Is essential to our auocess that we have the active aid of our friend from Idaho and Wash Ington, who are- now with us to a man and who would not only never agree to but would reeent such a proposition and who would certainly stand for the lm- nrovement of their river. Is It reason. able to assume tharthe residents of the Willamette valley. Southern Oregon and Coos county would agree to such a pol IcyT Would we if conditions were re versed T Throughout the entire north' west there is. "now a unity of purpose and feeling and In my Judgment we must stand together and help each other and In tha and we all will gain. It l beginning, to be understood that the mouth of the river belongs to us all and aa time goes on thia feeling will become more pronounced, and aa the entire Mis sissippi valley stands for Its mouth' so the entire valleys of the Snske. Wll lamstta and Columbia will stand for Its mouth. But back east they look after their rivers also". The people living In the sections drained by the Ohio, the Misnlsslppl, the Red river, the Mis knurl and scores of others, are not dropping the Improvement above thai mouths. Thsy have had the actual demonstration of wster. competition on rates and you can t fool them. The re moving of obstacles from the Columbia Hnake and Willamette rivers, the open' Ing of them to free navigation, will af feet and control rates, and on tha doing of this and the deepening of the mouth ofth Clumbiar1rttBnd-commeTchih supremacy will ultimately rest We end troops to China to maintain an open door abroad we alao ahould spend the necesaary money to maintain deep harbors and open rivera at home. .

It may be helpful to ahow what other and smaller places have done. - It may have a tendency to make ua less modest axd reserved and strengthen our de termination to press our claims. Tuet ua take Oalyeaton as an illuatra tlon.. Although soma- work had been dona prior to lit, about tha time our Jetty work commenced. and ' about was definitely determined On thst year. There was' an anchorage area In the harbor of about 1,0 acres, of which 1,100 acres had SO feet depth and 400 sores to feet ' The harbor was oh atructed by two bar, an Inner and al outer, the former having tM feet of water, tbe latter 11 feet The project provided for a depth on tha bar of Zl feet with a possible tt feet by the con struction of tha two Jetties five feet above mean low tide and supplementing the tidal scour by dredging. The mean tide fluctuation is two feet Since then two Jetties have been constructed, the north Jetty being 28.107 feet In length, tha aouth Jetty tS.tOt feet in length: tha minimum width between Jetties at outer end being 7.000 feet Dredging hss been constantly maintained and they now have a depth of 21 feet which in - constantly- increasing.

If apt. Is aa good aa a. hundred. Now let U take up our most Import ant project: . Tha Jetty waa commenced In ltt!C more than $0 year ago, and of all tha project or a like character of which I have been advised, there Is none where It wss or is so essential that the work should be continuous. Tha failure In H9HHS9HS- thia respect ha Increased' the cost enormously and has delayed comple tion I wa. going to aay indefinitely. The project, aa doea that of Galveston, contemplates a north and south Jetty and. a dredge to aid the tidal scour. It Is hoped tha south Jetty when fin ished wilt produce the result desired a 40-foot channel, - The consequence ia that the worklsDd-Jiapeen confined to the building of the south jetty. , A dredge has also been - acquired. The present length of the Jetty la tl.121 feet and It is proposed, to extend it 1.6 H feet more. - it Is a low tide Jetty -Including I2QO.0OO tin continuing contract there has been expended to date about t4.42S,74S.!0 and It is eetimated 11.100. 000 will be required to oompleta J he preaent Jetty. It must be borne In mind that thl estimate Is bssed, first, on getting tha money as - needed, and second, thst tha conditions on which it la based ara maintained.

To succeed there must be a thorough understanding of the subject knowledge as to what w.a want and absolute unan imity not only hero but In all tha river sections. From Astoria to lwlston we. must stand, advise and cooperate to gether. Tha work - belonge to three states, not one city. If it be suggested it I not wise 'to agitata this question now,. I ask, when will it . be? Almost before we know It the ahort session of congress will bo on and wa ahould be ready. This work will Interfere with no - other, will not affect their com mencement or continuance, for If made a continuing contract project only a certain amount of money can under any circumstances be expended during each year. Tha represents tlvsa of this state at Washington ara doing all they can and that Is a great deal, to further the state's Interests, but It must not be forgotten that they ara national Isgis Istora and much of their time must In tha very nature of thlnga fee given up- to national affairs. Whether, therefore,' you will find It expedient or necessary to follow the example of tha San Fran cisco chamber of commerce and adopt some meana of helping tha state'e rep resentatives la for you to determine.

Ifew Xaveetsaeata. I cannot refrain at this time from Ulna to yaur attention the feet that more foreign capital Is seeking Inveet. ment In tha northwest than aver b fore. Wa do not appreciate either the strength of thia movement or lta-sig-4- nlftcance. Nor 1b It capital alone, but already a heavy tide of travel haa set In. We. must ba prepared to meet an genuine- enterprises In a spirit of fair ness snd welcome investments from abroad. Every man Investing a dollar here becomes Intereeted with us, and as where a "man's treasure Is there Is his heart also." I favor making them feel that they are welcome and our friends. confess If ths Investments are made and enterprises started hare, which have amola capital behind them -an -itnw seem assured, Portland will do a great City before we - know It Thia long' sought-for goal cannot ba reached by a policy of vexatious and harassing dslay or by throwing dlfflcultlss In the way of every new enterprise. If there ever was a time wa should stand togetner. it la now.
