NATION 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. ' PEACOCK IS OUT BY GACE OF GOVERNOR Albany, Or., Dec. 12.
