Other spots where the rivers do not meet and trundle away to the sea are farms or mere villages. These rivers not only made Port land, but they made many Portland ers rich, ' They not only made Port land, but they made many cities and towns along their banks, i They -made men in' those cities and towns , wealthy by. giving them the free to crement on land they phanced) to ; buy at low prices. The rivers then unimproved, did all this. What would they do Improved! There Is a portage road at Celllo, It was put there to i make river transportation possible. The pres ence of traffic on the river was de sired In order to appeal to congress ; for government, aid , for ! river lm provements.. Oongresf i Js loath to give aid on rivers where there la no traffic"; It prefers, and with reason, to lend aid to a traffic that already exists. The very presence - of that traffic In spite of lack'of Improve- htAnto fa Avlffttna tnt nci a 1 a a (a extended will not ! be wasted- In fact the first question congress asks , when aid is requested is how much traffic is ' already there? f A means then of getting, appropriations from congress is for everybody to do all possible to promote traffic on the rivers. If the rivers,, unimproved, made Portland,, what would they do for Portland ; Improved? If Im proved what would these rivers not do for the cities and towns on and within reach of .their banks? Heavy freights carried by the Co lumbia river ' boats . reach . r Walla ; Walla, Umatilla, Pendleton , and nearby points at a less freight, cost than when carried by the all rail route. Dealers at those points can actually save - money by shipping -sugar, ; salt, groceries and ' other heavy goods by boat from. Portland But, strange as It may seem, much of this traffic -goes' by . rail. It Is scarcely understandable but It Is true. It is not only ; a personal financial loss, but It robs Walla Walla, robs Pendleton and robs the other points of a part of their means of getting, river ;, transportation to Portland and the sea." ; ; 5 : Perhaps it Is because we are ac customed to the rivers that we do not appreciate ' their value ; to us. Tet but for them many a man In Portland who Is richwould be poor. If. the I Columbia and Willamette were at Spokane or Seattle, as they are at Portland, every man,; woman and child would work day and night for their improvement. Aid for them would be- a policy paramount, and - there would be no rest until ample aid was secured-1;;- Los j An geles Is spending $8,000,000 of her own money to Improve her harbor.
