' f "The Lord helpa those who help them selves." This la the laeonlo war an of- flclal of tha federal government nmi up tha prospect of tha United Statea eecuiing th look In tha Willamette river at Oregon City, and ta his auto mata ta outlined by tnferanca what ba eonaldere the beat eotiraa for the atata of Oregon and th Oregon legislature to follow la their efforta to acur defl tiltt and certain results In tha abate ment of the old and existing tollgate nuisance and obatruotlon to navigation at Oregon City. Thla iiim government official, who 1 an enthusiast on tha queatlon of free navigation at tha etty by. tha falla. holds to tha argument that If the tat of Oregon and th people of tha Willamette valley truly wish to aee the river opened and freight rates wiped out K tha ahnlltlnn of tall chsreea at tha Oregon City locks, the result can best be secured -by th legislature taking part of th burden of purchas or con demnation upon Ha awn ahouldera and agreeing with eongreaa to share In th expense of aecurlng title to tha locks. ', Vaalttom'of Officials. It Is known that Chairman Burton of tha livers and harbors committee of congress; as well as General Macken sle. chief"-of the engineering depart ment of the United Statea, stand com mitted by- thslr past statements to th policy that those communities which show belief In the justice of their de manda for Improvement of rivers and harbors through their own appropria tions, given In aid of government aa-j sistance, will be given first considera tion and more kindly treatment by tha river and harbor bill than thoa dis tricts which wait for congress to bear all tha burden of tha work. A evi dence of this fact, th stand taken by tha government at Celllo. where th atata gave th right Of. way for th proposed canal, la cited. The assist ance rendered to the Port of Portland Is also called to mind aa evidence that th rlvera and harbors committee and tha engineering department will do more to aid those who help themselves than thoaa who do not. - - - - - ' What legislature Mast Be. Suggestions have been made, there fore, that Oregon ahould aee to It that at th coming sslon th legislature goea on record as being willing and anzloua to aaalst tha United Statea In securing title to the locks at Oregon City. It la Intimated that, ahould tha legislature either .appropriate a sum approximately large enough . to cover half the axpena of purchasing th lock, or. If It would pledge to congress that It would put up half the money. In the event of congress furnishing th other half, then there would be little or no doubt of a successful outcome of the campaign to do away with river tolla on the Willamette. The argument is made, with precedent to back it, that should this action be taken by the Oregon leglalature, congress would be practically sure to assume Its share of the burden at onoe and end tha long struggle by an 'Immediate purchase of th property. ' Th stand Is taken. howr. that Oregon should allow the federal gov ernment to assum charge and eontrol Columbia Phonograph Co. 371 Washington Street, Portland, Oregon largest Xaaufaetajrers is the World of tee aaa Cylinder Machlaoo.

This would remove the man' agementfrom the real of atata - politics snd Insure a continued economlo man agement from the realm of state politics Interests of th people of th state at th lesst possible cost. s not assumed, however, by thoa federal officials who have atudled the question at Oregon City,- that the gov ernment would accede to any fancy price being paid for the locks.- Tha government would not buy on any fu turity. Tha price paid, should con grass take a hand, would be for present value, calculated on present conditions, and not for any aavtng to tha people which might come from future owner ship and consequent lack of lockage charges now borne by the people. Congress, In other words, would dis like to -have the Portlsnd Oeneral Elec tric company become grounded in the belief that the government would pay any old price for the property In order to aid the people through future years. It would bo cheaper, and perhaps bet ter. It Is argued, to construct new locks on. tha east side of the river, or to condemn the present locks for govern ment use. , , It la understood that suggestions will be made to the members of the legis lature, when that body meets, repre senting that state asslstsnce to con gress would In all probability Insure federal action resulting In the speedy purchase or condemnation of the locks snd the resultant free navigation of the Willamette river.
