THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, - WEDNESDAYJ2VENING,' SEPTEMBER -13, 1912. - -3 41 IFDOWffl Albany Business Men See 'Bet- jeFCKance"t6Getv3"1;27 Feet. ' v. (3clal to The Journal.) Albany, Or., Sept, 18. The Albany Commercial' club Monday evening took up" the question of working for an ap propriation by congress for a six foot channel . In the Willamette river, and althouarh definite 'action was deferred until the secretary , of the club coulif confer with the commercial bodies of the other valley cities. It was the gen , era! idea that the six foot channel Idea . ... is not a good one, for the reason that - the expense would'not be justified, and , also in, view of the fact that a plan was adopted In 1910 which covered the en tire river to the head of navigation, and provided for a channel of SVS feet of water at the summer stage, at a total expense of less than $250,000. It seemed to be the belief of the "." majority of the members that the pro posal for ft six foot channel was made by opponents of the open river, In the hope that the enormous expense would " ' defer any action whatever for. many years, thus leaving the valley, traffie entirely to the railroads, except In the winter season. The secretary of the club is to visit 1 the commercial bodies at Corvallls, In dependence and Salem and confer with them, so that the bodies of, the different places may act in concert ana not eacn come forward with a separate idea con?. cerning the . river. The river men say that 3 feet of water 1s sufficient for the upper river boats, and that a deeper channel at the extreme low water mark is simply a waste of money If the depth Is to Be maintained artificially. CEDAR VALLEY PROVES APPLE AND HAY REGION (Bpertflt to Tb. Journal Klickitat, Wash., Sept. 18. Colonel H. J. Yule, a veteran of the Civil war, some years ago filed a soldier's home stead in Cedar valley, at that time known as the northern wilderness of Klickitat. The elevation was over 3000 feet and It had the appearance of being a valley near the summit of the Slm coe range. Colonel Yule, in face of re monstrances, planted an apple orchard, and later alfalfa. The elevation, he be lieved, would not prevent the soil from being responsive in that section. Hd had seen similar conditions at higher elevations in Colorado. Today at the old soldier's homestead, 30 miles from any railroad, there Is a carload of choice apples going to waste. The alfalfa tract, which is not. irri gated, demonstrated this year that the railroad of the future could count on shipping many cars of alfalfa hay from the Yule rc.icji. Cedar valley is des tined to be one of the greatest dairy and cattle growing sections of Klickitat county. Who Goldendale Teachers Are. (Special to Tbe Journal.) Goldendale, Wash., Sept. 18.
