This time it la In the form or & dual

Kite of the preaent steel bridge, and the
Port of Portland, headed by . President
Swisrert, wants it. Representatives of
the port met with the city council com

noon and discussed uie question.
According to tha plana of -the Port
of Portland, the new bridge would be
constructed on tne ane 01 tne present
steel bridge. The west approach would
be In relatively the same position It now
occupies, though the east approach
would be further down stream. .
The bridge would be pf dual -construction,
the decks built aide by side,
but one lower than the other, with the
draws of each deck working Independ
entlyone of the other. The lower
deck would be for the use of trains.
This draw also would be kept open ex

of a. train. This a.rransremnnt wntilil
permit tf the passage of ordinary river

delay or the necessity of opening the
upper draw.
However, the upper draw could be
onenea to nermit or tne tuuttuitrn nf th
tall ships coming up the river to load
at the mills or unload at the docks.
This arrangement would cause the up

The upper draw -would be used for

consisting of 35 Eskimas, men,
women and children, with their
entire equipment and mode of
living, including the Alaska dogs,
sleds and all their equipment.
I Visited the exhibition snd
feel it of " sufficient Import
ance to say to you to let
your, children do likewise.
It is .something that they may
never see again. It will, teach
them more geography, v. more
natural history and. give-them

visit than they can get in a yesr

T lt.fnr from MilltnonOl county
all declare themselves to be in favor of
an open Willamette river. Different
members of the Multnomah delegation
in discussing the question of the pur
chase or acquisition of the locks at
Oregon City state In positive terms that
they are believers in the idea that there
should be no charge on freight passing
up and down the river,, and say that
they will follow any reasonable plan
for the abolition of the present charge
of 69 cents a ton. . , ,
There is some difference of opinion
among the different members as to
curing the control of the Oregon City
locks. Some of the members contend
that it Is the duty of the federal gov
ernment either to buy the present locks
or to buU& others. These members point
out that the government has the gen
eral charge of all navigable rivers and
harbors and it is therefore up to crm
h tn mnt an annronrlatlon suffi
cient to secure the old locks or to build
new.
Build Blew Xrfteka.
On the other hand, there axe members
of the delegation who believe "that the
state should buy the locks or build
new ones, and these menargue that If
the state did take them over, it would:
be a paying Investment, aside from the
abolition of tariff charges. Rower could j
be sold to manufacturing plants, elec
tricity could' be generated and sold and
the water power turned into beneficial
use generally- to a profit.
Still others of the delegation, contend
that the final eolutlon pf the question
will be found In the organization of a
district similar to that of the Port of
Portland, the -Issuance of bonds and the
local control of the locks project by the
people-of the WHlamette valley.
on all nanas,- nowever, is me general
deslrp to work out ' the solution of the
question and then go to work to reach
the results. Those who believe that
the government should build the locks
contend tliai iree river iranspuriauun
is necessary top the. development of
the valley. They argue that in event
congress will not give an appropria
tion without a bait, then it is good pol
icy to hand out the bait.
' Z.ook to Congress First.
Thev are therefore in favor of work
ing with congress firsthand if the O.re
rnn Hr.inffn t Inn is able to gain no en
couragement from that quarter, then for
the legislature 10 maae a conumurmi
aDoroDrlation, as is now carried In the
J ones bill.
It is prooawe ina in iockb humuhu
will be one of the leading issues of the
rnminer session. Representative M. F-
Jones of Polk and Lincoln counties is
intending to make the open Willamette
the one ouestion to he urged by him
during the session. If congress does
not include an appropriation for the
purchase of the locks in the coming
river and harbor appropriation bill. Mr.
Jones is intending to ask the legislature
to extend the time limit on his appro
priation bill of two years (ago, so that
the 3OO,O0O contingent appropriation
.,iu .till hi available in 1910. This was
a biU passed by the last legislature ap
propriating $300,000 for .the purchase or
condemnation of the locks at Oregon
City, contingent upon the appropriation
of a liKe amount ay i;uim.
Deferred to Bawley.
Jones first Introduced a hill providing
fn. .t.t -.-nirr-haHA Of the lOCkS. OUt
Congressman C. W. Hawley and others
lobbied against Its passage, contending
that Hawley wouia ue iu nve mo
honor and privilege of securing an ap
propriation from congress for the work.
This opposition resulted In a compro
mise bUi the one carrying the 1800,000
contingent appropriation. . ...
Congressms-n Hawley has not achieved
the honor of bringing the matter to
the consideration of . congress as yet,
?nd now Representative Jones wishes
o give him further time by the ex
tension of the time limit, as the Ore
gon appropriation would lapse before an
other session of congress, provided noth.
ing were done by the coming legislature.
