F. Jones Electric Com- ir pany Is Greatly in 'Debt to the State Already, I . That there 1 grave dancer the appro priation for the purchase of the Wil lamette locks may not he secured at this yesslon of congress, and that the com ing session of the legislature should meet the emergency either by an ex tension of time with reference to the state's appropriation or by appropriation of a, sufficient sum to pay the entire cost of the old locks or of constructing new flight. Is the statement of Hon orable B. F. Jones, father of the Jones Mil; and representative-elect from Polk county. , Mr. Jones' Information as to possible failure of the congressional' appropria tion Is the-result of a conversation with Congressman Hawiey, whom Mr. Jones Siuotes as raying that an appropriation or the Willamette project may not be secured ' from the coming congress be csuxe It is a short session. . Mr. Jones' statements are contained In a communication to The Journal, In which he says: Legislature Should Act. To he Editor of The Journal Tour tlmelv editorial in Saturday's Journal on the Willamette locks project shows that there is very great danger that the com ing session of congress may not appro- firlate money for the purchase or the ocks. Section 4 of the act of the legis ature, filed in the office of the secre tary of state February It, 1907, reads: ' ""if the government of the United (Mates shsll fall to make, such appropri ation as provided for In this act within One of the ef the happy homes of to-day is a vast f tjnd of Information aa to the best methods of promoting health and happiness and right living and knowledge of the world's best products. ' ' , Products ' of actual excellence and . reasonable; claims truthfully presented and which have, attained to world-wide acceptance through the approval of the Well-Informed of the World; 1196 of indi viduals only, but of the many who have the happy faculty of selecting and obtain ing the best the world affords. One of the producti of that class', of known component parts, an Ethical remedy, approved by physicians and com meoaed by the WeU-lnformed of thie Yt'orid as a valuable and wholesome family laxative is the well-known Syrup of Fige and LTirir of Senna. To get its beneficial ttects always buy the genuine, manu-' f . !; ! ly the California Fig Syrup Co 1 -'y, s : J i t tale by all leading druggiita. three yeara from the passage) of this act, then the sum of $800,000, as herein pro vided shall be turned Into the general fund of the state ef Oregon." Therefore It will be seen that If an appropriation Is not made by the gen eral government this session it will be necessary for the statj to take some ac tion in the matter, either by having the time extended for another two years by which the state may assist, or by appro priating sum sufficient to build the looks, which would, according to estl mato be 1600.000, less the amount now due and owing the state of Oregon by the Portland General Electric company, under the recent decision of the su preme court of the state of Oregon. In a conference with Congressman Hawiey at Salem a day or two ago he advised me that the Oregon delegation would do all in Its power to secure an appropriation at the coming congress, but it being a short session he had'very grave doubts as to whether the delega tion would bo successful In securing the money for the locks. , Company Will Vot m Xdle. It Is not to be expected that the Port land General Electric company is going to stand Idly by and see the keys to the Willamette valley taken away from them without a atruggle, after they have had them. In their., hands for over SO years. The water power alone at Oregon City, created by the building of the locks, is in Itself an income annually of thousands of dollars to this com pany, and If the state or the govern ment shall either purchase or build new locks, a large percentage of this must be lost to the company. The total water power capacity of the Willamette river at Oregon City is about 66,000 horsepower. This esti mate is based upon the computations -of tHe United States engineer for the low est stage of , water during the dry sea son. The vertical fall is 40 feet. In order to get a better idea of the Im portance of the great Oregon water power, comparison Is here, made with several others thst are all well known. "Oregon City, 66.000 horsepower; Spo kane. Wash.. 30.000 horsepower; Minne apolis. Minn.. 26,000 horsepower: Hol joke, Maes , 84.000 horsepower; ' Lowell, Mass, 11,846 horsepower." . The courts have held that the right at the government to use the wster of the looks supersedes the right of any private corporation. I am of the opin ion now, and had the same opinion two years ago. when I introduced a bill at that session of the legislature asking the state to appropriate $400,000 for the purchase of the old or building new locks on the east elde of th.ri?er. that whenever the state commenced to build the canal and locks on that aide of the river, the corporation now owning the canal and locks on the west aide ethe river would speedily offer to Compro mise jffth the, state, and would la fact give back to the state its own. Tke company ran well afford tb quitclaim the locks to the state of Oregon, rather than have the state build new ones on the east aide, which-would result fn the loss of their locks on tbe west slde by reason of the state operating their locks free, and for the- further reason that the corporation would lose thou sands of dollars ennuallv by reason of the loss of power they ar now selling various other corporations at a tremen dous profju K v, " - Xa Debt to Stat. ' . According to the report" of the En gineer tn charge of the works. Captain Isaac Smith, the original cost of thi locks was from tX)0,000 to $325,000. Of this sum the state practically loaned the company 1200.000. Inasmuch as the company has never paid the state any. part of the 10 per cent of the earnings of said locks which they were to re ceive, the state of Oregon should -at least be entitled to lawful interest on the money for these 38 years, which, at the rate of 8 per cent per annum, would amount to the sum of $608,000, add to this the principal, fSQO.OOO, and we have the sum of 1808,000, for which said sum this company is morally and legally held to the state of Oregon. If the principal, $200,000, bad -been paid into the common school fund of the state of Oregon, as was Intended by tbe act ofl 1870, the school children of Oregon woLld be joint heirs to this magnificent, sfam. This sum would be more than suf ficient to build and equip new locks on the east side of the river. ' As this is a matter that affects every citizen of Oregon, and in - vleW' of " the fact that the people of the Willamette valley and all western Oregon are demanding that the Willamette river be free and open to every one, that the commerce of this great empire -should float down to the sea without paying water toll to any person or corporation, as the almighty Intended, It would seem that it is again vd to the Orearon leg islature to take this matter under con sideration, and-1 will ask that body to continue the appropriation of the $300, 000 for another two years. Or, since Congressman Hawiey has advised me that If the Oregon legisla ture should this winter- appropriate a sum sufficient to either build new locks on the east side of ' the river or take over the. old ones,' it would not Inter fere with his plans in congress, since. If congress did not approprlats the $300,000 at this session to assist the state he had no doubt but that a future congress would appropriate a sufficient sum of - money to reimburse the state and taae tbe property over to the gov eminent. - Should Walt Ha Longer. ' In view of, the uncertainty of any government aid for another two years, and of the growing demand for a free and open Willamette river, and also tak ing Into consideration the fact that the saving to the producers and shippers of western Oregon In the reduction , of tolls on their products would be suf ficient in two years to build -the locks on the east side, it might be .wise, for the legislature to make an appropria tion sufficient to build new locks or take over the old. v . However, as the coming short session of congress will be nearly ended before the convening of the Oregon legislature this winter, if this item is not placed In the national appropriation bill, the Oregon legislature will still have time to enact a law whereby the state may build and own the locks.

Con gressman Eaglebrlght Is just $6 poorer today as a result of a carelessly worded epithet which he applied to Lloyd ILa. rue, a young attorney, in an altercation at the National hotel yesterdav. In stead of answering the congressman in kind, Larue swore to a warrant charg ing the statesman with disturbing his peace, - Eaglebrlght, having cooled down, pleaded guilty and paid a $6 fine. The quarrel grew out of a dispute over a sun which me congressman s son Harry had brought against C. H. Barker, a real estate man, for commis sions alleged to be due Larue repre sented Barker and handled his client's case so aggressively that the congress man lost his temper. Notaries Commissioned.
