member of tha rivers and harbors oom-
; talus. He has coma to this portion of
: tha sreat to make personal inspection
of tha needs of eoaat lmproreraenta so
, that future committee work will be con
' ducted from a personal knowledge of
. Taciflo coast conditions as they exist
ZyeU Coast Cltle. .
. 'I have been tn Seattle and Interior
Waahlngton towns , for several days
': past, he explained. - "Now I am going
to spend two weeks in California at
"fean Francisco and - Los Angeles and
' Intermediate points in order to make a
- thorough Investigation of river and har
'Tnor conditions. Whan we return - to
.Portland we shall devote at least ' 1
days to an examination of the Columbia
river jetty, tha work at The Dalles and
' at other points along tha western eoaat, :
all of which are to profit by the appro
priations mads and to be made in
Waahlngton. Oregon is a great - and
growing country and nothing Is too
good for her In the matter of appropria
tions. "By the way, Representative Jones of
waahlngton, wno la also a msmoer or
the rivers and harbors committee, is a
firm and conscientious friend of Oregon.
To hear him talk in behalf of this aeo
tion you would think he had been born
and raised right in the center of the
tat. His opinions and advise on mat
ters pertaining to the coast work are
taken as law back at the national capi
tal, are always sought, and seldom If
ever Questioned. : ': s
Making- rerscaai' Investigation. '
Mr. Lo rimer la following the policy
adopted by the members of the rivers
and harbors committee In making a per
sonal Inspection of tha districts in
which improvement is contemplated. In
this way the committee's work is facili
tated, reference to profile maps and data
gathered by others do not have to be
consulted and the Teault as a whole is
quicker and much more satisfactory-
Mr. Lorlmer was accompanied by his'
business partner, P. "C. Gallagher, and
his sons, William and Leonard. This is
tha congressman's first .visit to Port
land and he was much Impressed with
both the sis and commercial activity
of Portland. - The climate also caught
his attention, which he contrasted
laughingly -with Chicago's- wintry
breeses which, still continue to blow off
