ANOTHER RIVER AND HARBOR SCHEME
PROPOSED BY CHAMBER
Proposition Is to Divide Stat Into Districts for the Purpose of
Raising Funds for Cars, Maintenance and
Improvement.
To dlvlds the lUU of Oregon into
several districts, as perhaps the Colum
bia river, Willamette valley and the
southern Oregon districts, for the pur
pose of raising funds for the care and
' maintenance of rivers and harbors Is
another big Idea, which the chamber of
commerce contemplatea springing on
the legislature when tt meets at Salem
In January.
The question waa opened at a meet
ing of the chamber some time ago. and
since that time repeated meetings of
the transportation committee have dis
missed the pussle. trying to arrive at
some plan which will be feasible and
easy and whloh will be liable to meet
with the approbation of the legislature
and the people. As yat no definite plan
haa bean selected, but the committee is
still groping for soma specific outline
upon which to build a bill whloh will
moat all the requirements of tha ease
and at the same time answer all of tha
many objections whloh It la feared will
bo hurled at it by those members who
are not contiguous to soma navigable
river or deep-sea harbor and who are,
therefore, not liable to be so friendly to
a meaaure which la aura to cost tha
stats a rapt sum of money before
much benefit can be derived from It.

Tha only definite standard which tha
committee now haa before It as a pat
tern la the Port of Portland. This, aa
la generally known, ia a commission
authorised by tha state to bond a oar
tain prescribed district for money to
carry on Vhe work of deepening tha
channel from Portland to tha aa aa far
aa it may. The same act which created
the commission also provided for a
special ta which may be levied to aid
In the work of tha commission.
For a time tt waa argued that it
would be aufflclent to Increase tha Port
of Portland boundaries and maka tha
taxable district extend over mora
Multnomah territory and farther down
tha rivers toward Astoria. It haa boon
practically decided, however, that this
would not All the requirements of the
case and that it would be batter to
make aoma arrangement for the cars of
tha entire waterway of the state while
tha measure wsa up for discussion.
Ona of tha main reason, why tha
committee thinks tt important at thia
time for the state to take a hand in the
Improvement of ita harbors and rtvera
la tha faet that It has been Intimated
many times by the river and harbor
committee of congress that those states
which took soma substantial part In tha
improvement of their waterways would
be tha onaa which would bo tha soonest
picked for aid by congress. It Is ex
pected that tha work dona under auch a
law aa la contemplated would serve aa
a sort of bait to congress when tha
river and harbor appropriation bill
cams up for consideration.
Tha bill which la now being con
sidered win In all probability provide
that the stste shall be divided Into die
trlcts, each one to have under ita
charge soma special and Important
waterway. Of all of these that of tha
Columbia river will be tha largest and
tha moat Important Permission will
be given these districts to Issue bonds
for soma amount to carry on tha work,
to provide machinery and for incidental
expenses. Provision will also be mads
for future expenses by a tax or some
other mean a.
It Is argued that by tha Issuance of
to or SO year bonds tha main expense
will be borne by the coming generation.
which will be tha ohlaf beneficiary b
the rlvar ana harbor Improvements. T,
draft of tha bUl will be ready by
time tha legislature convenes, or earlier.
