III HOTEL WALL
Two years ago J.' B. Holxman of the
Reliable loan . office lost an overcoat
It was stolen from a boarding house.
In a pocket of the coat was a check
for 1112.60, payable to the Pacific Hard
ware & Steel company, signed by Mr.
Hohsman.. The envelope had been ad
dressed and stamped.,, i After the coat
disappeared nothing was ever heard of
the check or the garment either. ,
Yesterday the check was found by
workmen who had been tearing away a
wall in the Oregon hotel. The check
had been passed through a orack and
had lodged In between the plaster and
woodwork. The overcoat was not there,
of courne. The supposition Is that the
person who got the overcoat found the
chock and In a hurry to get rid of It,
stuck It in the first place he ran across.
When the coat -was stolen Mr. Holx-!
man stooped payment at the bank on
the check. Another draft was sent to
the hardware company, ' j

Portland, Nov. JO, To the Editor' of
Ths Journal In your ; editorial com
ments laat tight on the decision of the
supreme court in awarding the state
an Interest In the Oregon City locks.
and- in that relation calling for - the
opening of the river to free navigation
in their purchase by the atate and gov
ernment, you say: i
"The responsioiiity - ror success
(soenlnr of the riverl now lies with
the members of Ahe Oregon delegation.
and it Is a responsibility they should
not fail to meet." . ..'
Tour comments call for some eluol-
dation. In the interest of fair play. .
The purchase or the locks, or ine
paralleling of them on the east side,
had been Insisted on by our delegation
in congress for vears. and finally the
government engineer in charge-of the
Columbia was Instructed to estimate
the. coat of a new flight on the east
aide of the falls. In 1800 that esti
mate was reported to congress as 45(,
000. Then thfl'lea-ai Questions involved
were referred to the department OfJ
Justice for considratlon and -report, and
In due course congress was informed '
that ths government's rights were par
amount to any and all private rights:
that the locks could be condemned and
purchased, or new locks oould be con
structed and operated regardless of pri
vately owned water powers. 'Negotia
tions for the purchase of the locks were
considered, and the Willamette valley
Interests, with a view of expediting
things Induced the legislature to make
a conditional appropriation to the max
imum of 1300,000. to cover one half of
the purchase price, provided the gov
ernment would cover the other half
within three years from the date of the
passage of the state law. t
In ' the meantime years were con
sumed in these red tape windings, and
the prices of labor and material going
Into the construction of a new flight
of locks advanced to points where the
cost of construction of a new flight,
and therefore, the price of the old
locks, advanced fifty or sixty per cent
over the original estimate of 1900,
and nearly two years of the time limit
of the state appropriation have expired.
The government engineers in charge
have at all times favored -the purchase
but Have had no authority to revise
the estimate of cost under the changed
conditions incident to the delay In
laying the ground work for the pur
chase. -And for this reason the recom
mendation of the purchase was omit
ted from the report of the engineer
that furnishes the basis of the rivers
and harbors appropriation bill to be
submitted to congress this session.
By the terms of each rivers and har
bors law no item can be added to a
succeeding bill If not recommended by
the board of engineers, except on a
concurrent resolution of the senate and
house of representatives, and such
concurrent resolution Is very difficult
to secure. In order to get such a reso
lution considered and passed through
both houses now, a revised estimate of
the cost of the locks is necessary forf
submission to the committees through
tfin chief of engineers.
