, Believe ta lobbying;.
Major Roessler la a believer In lob
bying of legitimate kind. He think
that i tha river and harbor committee
and th member of congre In general
would welcome men of business Inter

good of their community might go to
Washington and urge the necessity of
their respective claims, clearly, conserv
atively but forcefully, ahowlng by their
discussion that they knew their sub
ject and could tell lta merits and bow it

Such a man at Washington could do
much for th Oregon City project when
the time for action cornea. If it was
ahown by facta and flgurea that the
farmors and producing people of the
Willamette . valley are losing $100,000
each year by reason of the toll charged
for lockage by th Portland Oeneral

proven that these conditions bad kept
and were keeping back th natural de

would be easy to secure aid from con
gress for the purchase of th lock and

grea would look with more kindly eye
upon any request for the purchase of

Th United-States ahould control th
