EYE OF
, AVERS TEAL
Given Impetus, a
'Rivers and Harbors Con
gress, at Washington.
f Joseph N. Teal has returned from
Washington and the Rivers and Harbors
congress, convinced that the Sevelop-
ment interests of Oregon and the Co
jumbia baain are more a subject of
national attention, are more definitely
.before the administration and more fa
vorably considered than ever before.
The campaign to reform and readjust
icuerai court costs, started here, has
become a national issue, he says. The
.demand for readjustment and reforma
tion lias spread into other states. As
chairman of a special committee ap
pointed by the State Bar association,
ne laid the subject before Senator
Walsh, chairman of a sub-committee
or the senate judiciary committee, re
ceived assurance that the Justice of the
cause Is recognized and that a bill, If
prepared to apply especially to the con
ditions in Oregon federal court matters,
would undoubtedly be unanimously ap
proved by tho judiciary committee.
Senator Chamberlain has agreed to pre-
pare the bill Immediately. Mr. Teal
also laid the matter before the depart
ment of justice, and was given evidence
of the rreatest interest.
Ho Tight on Bute's Sights.
"The impression grew out of the Riv
ers and Harbor congress," said Mr. Teal,
that there waa a fight for state's
rights in waterpower development
Nothing of the kind arose, but there
was a decided tendency to recognize
the principle- that when survey of the
navigation possibilities of rivers like
the Columbia river is to be made. It
should include study- of all the bene
ficial uses tap which water may be put
Without Huch study and application of
conclusions found Mr. Teal Is convinced
that the adjacent country cannot be de
veloped, nor traffic be furnished for
water transportation facilities.
Mr. Teal declared the dinner given
Xy Senator Chamberlain was one of the
big events of the year in Washington.
It brought together the senators and
most of the representatives of Mon
tana, Idaho, Nevada, Washington and
Oregon, the secretaries of war and of
the interior, Senator Ransdell and oth
ers, all of whom expressed readiness to
do whatever is necessary to be done In
Improving the channel at the mouth of
the Columbia river as a matter of vital
Importance to all of the district
.drained by the Columbia.
JTortiwast Is Gainer.
It does good to have northwest get
together meetings in Washington be
cause It gives opportunity for many
subjects of common Interest to be dis
cussed. "I wish I had th ability to Impress
upon the people of the entire Columbia
district the necessity of continuing and
sustaining the effort to deepen the
channel at the mouth of the river. It
is not only of the greatest Importance
to us all, but Is a really great problem,"
said Mr. Teal.
Filling the vacancios on the inter
state commerce commission is giving
great ; concern to everyone. ' aald Mr.
TeaL f There la intense 4es!ra to sustain.
tne standard or 'arnciency ana conn
dence it enjoys. .;; president Wilson Is
glving the subject more than usual con
sideration. )'"..; " 't --:, rt
Want Coast Bepresented,
Mr. Teal predicted that if the Pacific
coast Should Unite on one man he would
be appointed, and it will be most de
sirable that the coast should be . rep
resented on the commission, and he
would -be glad to sea some one named
from. Oregon.. '
There is more disposition, to reconcile
differences in matter's of conservation
than ever, said Mr. Teal, adding that
Such disposition is not at all . at the
expense of the fundamental principle
that the Interests Of the. public In pub
lic resources must be recognised and
will never be abandoned. 'There is also
a greater disposition to open ' all the
agricultural lands In the public 'domain
hto settlement by real farmers. '
