These petitions call on all of the Republicans in the legislature to stand togetner ror me eiecuon oi a ne publican to the United States senate, and aet out the argument that it is for the be3t Interests of the oarty to break away from tne statement no. i majority in the legislature and -elect a United States senator irrespective of such pledges.

JONES' LOCKS BILL IS INTEODUCED (Special Dlanatch to The Journal.! Salem, Or., Jan. IS. Represent Jones of Polk Introduced his free Wil lamette locks btll in the house this morning. . The hill was drafted by Jus tice Bean of the supreme court and provides that the appropriation of $300, )0 tar the purchase of the locks, mad by the legislature f 4901 be kept alive The lower Willamette river, from Linnton to the mouth of the Columbia is frozen over, the ice varying In thick ness from one to two inches. It will be possible to walk over the river on the ice should the low temperature continue a few days longer. This report was brought back to Port land yesterday afternoon by a party consisting of Captain O. W. Hosford, Lloyd J. wentworth and Captain James Y. Shaver, who went from here to the mouth of the Willamette and across the Columbia river on the powerful towboat O. K. Wentworth to investigate condi tions. The Wentworth had to break a channel through the ice all the way after passing Linnton. She returne-1 without having been damaged by the sharp ice, however. "A few days of cold weather will block the lower Willamette with solid ice strong enough to carry a person with safety," said Captain Hosford. "Wo found ica from one to two inches thick extending clear across the river below Linnton and it will rapidly get thicker after the flow of the current has been checked by the first thin sheet. The river flows more slowly below Linnton than in the" 'harbor, for Instance, but I am of the opinion that it will freeze solid her unless there be an early riss in the temperature." All river boat navigation has practical ly been discontinued because of the ice and a number of places along the Colum bia are oadly situated as ror transporta tion facilities. The completion of the North Bank road, however, relieves the Situation materially as both shores are now pretty well in toucn witn tne outer world by means of the railroads. A few years ago a complete freeze up of the Columbia would have worked hardships in many places along the north shore of the river as they would nave oeen unable to replenish food or fuel supplies in case of shortage. The Open River Transportation com pany sent the steamer J. w. leai to winter quarters at Jefferson street dock this morning, where she will remain till the blockade is over. The steamer Sarah Dixon is fast in the Cascade locks with the steamer Dalles City of the Regula tor line. The Regulator liner Bailey fiataert la tied no at Alder street dock and the O. R. & N. Astoria liner T. J. Potter lies Idle at Ash street docK. The only towbortt operating at present is tha O. K. Wentworth and she is only employed in shifting vessels from one dock toanother in the harbor. STEAMER EUREKA DEPARTS until March. 1, 1910. It is further pro vided in the bill that no tax lew to raise this fund shall be made after 1910. The bill will undoubtedly be one of the storm centers of the session, as it will meet with the opposition of both the Southern Faolflo and "of the Portland General Electric company, the owners of the locks. Both corporations being interested in the present status and consequent high transportation rates. " MATTER OF BUSINESS 'lbs Almost Unprecedented Cold Snap ' That Has Com to Portland Has Crippled Every Business. ' It is practical, however, to buy city lots that will double in value in a few months, weather or no. Swift & Co.'s enormous enterprises are going along at an amazing pace, and the Columbia Trust company are still showing and selling their Swinton and Kenmore lots by automobiles and sleighs. Sales are being made by tele grams from Missouri and New Mexico. Portlanders, don't wait until good weather, but select some of these lots before they advance again. : Spectacles at Metzger's.

She left with a full cargo, but took no passengers, as. it whs feared they would be displeased with the experience should the boat through accident fall to break theougn the ice down the river. The Eureka is one of the smallest coasters running out of this, port in a regular line - and being of wooden construction she. was held at her dock several -days, '. in hopes that the ice blockade would be moved by' favorable weather. But the change did not come and so Captain Noren had an ice breaker- made for the Eureka's bow. The Tillamook liner Argo is still at Astoria waiting for a favorable op portunity, to get to Portland.

The river is subsiding rapidly. The river has fallen one foot and a half since 9 o'clock yesterday morning. It now stands at 6 feet 9 Inches, while yepterday the stage was 7 feet 3 Inches. On Saturday evening the river was 13 feet high, and has fallen since that time to 6 feet 9 Inches. Continued cold weather has had the desired effect in preventing the turbulent waters of the Willamette from rising above Its banks and devastating the farms along its shores. The sun was shining brightly for a short time this morning, but that has so far been only an indication of colder weather. Spectacles st Metzger's.
