THE FACTS IX THE CASK
PjlHE DEMAND by the people of
I the Willamette valley for the
J ; "purchase by the general gov
' eminent of the canal and locks
at Oregon-City makes the attack of
the Oregonian upon appropriations
for river Improvements in this state,
'other thane those for the -lower
Columbia river and mouth only the
more pronounced. -
The difficulty with the Oregonian
lies In the fact that it is not only
out "of touch .with" the situation but
apparently is not familiar with the
exlstlpg condition of the proposed
Improvement of the Columbia river
even between Portland and the ea.
' It belittles one 'of the largest
- projects for the improvement of the
second greatest river in the JJnited
States, and one that has been the
subject of . unceasing labor of many
' people for more than a quarter of
a century,; by assuming that the
projects now under way are the re
suit of some squabble.
It bases its entire argument on
the assumption that the city of Port
land could if it would, control all
expenditures for river and harbor
improvements In the northwest. In
its devotion to Portland's trade and
interests, rlt overlooks the fact that
repeatedly the commercial interests
of this r.itv hsva t nit an nrtlva afand
to have the rivers to the interior
"opened to navigation. That is not
la new subject, that this policy has
'been pursued for years. But two
. years ago the very policy it now con
demns was urged upon congress by
a committee representing this state
.and city, amongst its members being
Seaator Fulton, Governor Chamber
flain; Mr. Scott t and others. - This
"committee stood, openly for appropri
ations for both the upper and lower
: rivers and so stated to a subcommit
tee of the river and harbor commit
tee headed by Mr. Burton.
The result was that the mouth of
the river was placed n a continuing
contract basis and Celllo received
la large appropriation also.
. i-It now seeks to convey the idea
tha it, and it alone, appreciates the
necessity for a deep entrance to the
'river and a deep channel to Port
land. What are the iacts? The lm
provement at the' mouth of the
Columbia river is on a continuing
contract basis with every dollar
recommended by the engineers ap
proprlated. This result was largely
broaght about by the very people
it now attacks. The mouth of the
river has never had a , more loyal
supporter than Hod. Wesley L.
Jones of North Yakima, for years
past and now a member of the
rivers and harbors committee, and
soon to be United States senator
from Washington. Yet Mr. Jones
at a'meetlng of the chamber of com
merce in this city told its members
that the very policy now advocated
by the Oregonian would result in
harm to the interests of the lower
river. ' Senators Heyburn of Idaho
aad Ankeny of Washington as well
ha the entire population east of the
mountains have stood by us, but
Insisting at the same time the upper
portion of the river should be pro
vided for.
is u conceivable we would have
this support on the stand taken by
the Oregonian? Without this sup
port would we not be a divided

tion never was o nniu r i.

Is It not because In this free eountrv.
when our government needs tha force,
the young men spring to arms? The
very reason why we have been able to
get oo with a standing army of 25,000

that, when our' government call for
troops, the troop, will be forthcoming,
and that quickly and without much
stopping to reason or anticipate the
lssuos or the threatening strife.
ir in the future this country shall be
able to get on well and hold a strong

He perhaps saves too much time and

no impossibility to a farmer who la
