V' W. ' C 'Hawley. congressman-elect
f from tho first Oregon district, outlined
. his plans yesterday at the Perkins ho-
tel for the .work he expects to do when
Th most Important of these, according w"rVf " XiZ ZXll r
. t. Mr. Hawley. will be In connection ' llTMl
with th. purees of th. .locks at Or. SJttwWU a SaS
:; th government, Th chief objection to
th present locks Is that they ar owned
' by a private' corporation, which places
:n nbargo upon each vessel that
pass through, with th result that the
tollag ha to be anally paid by th
shipper. In speaking of his plana, air.
..Hawley said:
f - favor government ownership of
! th locks and will seek to accomplish
that end when I am In congress. - The
t best oourse of procedur that I think
I of at this time to accomplish their pur-
chas . will b to secure air approprla
l tfoa for a survey of the river at Oregon
scity- by government engineer and a a
i Inspection of the present locks for the
I purpose of ascertaining their value. If
th lock r deemed worthy of pur--.
chas by th engineers and a fair price
ran be arranged with th owners, I
- thins: that th best way Aovsolv th
solution of navigation on thWlllam-
Sett river will be to buy them. . If th
lock are not shown to be solid and In
condition to be repaired, then I . will
J favor new locks and th survey by th
i engineers would be mad with that Idea
t la vlw. '-
- Work at Ooos Bay. ,
"Next to th opening of navigation
on the WlUamett river the roost impor-
ttant work that I will have to do wUll
: be In th Interest f th Coos bay en
terprtse. Of course th Jetty work at
the mouth of th Columbia river will
I b In th hand of th senators from
Oregon aad I will do ail in my power
j, to aid them. In securing th necessary
appropriations. The Klamath project
7 and other enterprises that affect - th
. whol atat will also have my support.
... -To bark back to th WlUamett river
; scheme, there was an editorial in Th
Journal recently which I thought was
.very good and wall worth consideration
. from th public. It waa timely and
.stated th problem clearly."
V Mr. Hawley will go to Washington
soon for i the purpose . of preparing
.himself. forhls work In the next con
i aress. He has not decided definitely
when h will leav for th east, but
: probably not nntll after the first of the
' year. . He said that he "wanted to become
'acquainted with th beads of th de
. tpartmants In Washington so that he
..will not be a total stranger to them
