.Appeals to State Senators to Con-
tlsaf Dredging- In WUlainsU. ',
W ashington, ; D.- C. : jnov. 27.
(WASHINGTON BUREAU OP THE
JOURNAI) An appeal for extension
of Willamette river improvement
work to Eugene has been received at
the Offices of the Oregon senators
from the Oregon City Transportation
company, which says that vin conse
quence of the free locks opening it Is
extending its water line to Eugene.
At present, it appears, the United
States engineers confine dredging
operations north of Corvallls and
snagging only to Harrlsburg. The
river line wants dredging extended to
the Harrlsburc bridges and , snagging
done south of that point.
There is some doubt as to wfcat can
be accomplished th this direction,
owing ' to averseness of federal . au
thorities to spend money where rivers
are so shallow as the Willamette Is at
Harrisburg. '
The Oregon City Transportation
company, with other steamboat lines,
has also written the department of
commerce, asking that' they be ex
empted from a ruling of August 17,
1915, forbidding the carrying of quick
lime. They assert that on vessels of
the class represented" plying the Co
lumbia and Its tributaries, lime is car
ried on deck and not in the hold, so it
does not involve the dangers sought to
be avoided by the department's ruling.

IN HOPE RJRD PLAN

Teacher About to Join Ex
pedition i Declares Belief
Proposaf Wir Be" Welcome.
Hope and belief j that Henry Ford's
peace expedition to Europe may result
in an official ptaice conference of
representatives of j the warring na
tions were express d by Miss Grace
DeGraf school teacher, last night,
on the eve of her ( departure to Join
the Ford party at H'ew. York. -
"I know nothing Wf the details of
Mr. Ford's plan," said Miss DeGraff.
"but 1 do know that wrhen the women
delegates came back to America from
their peace conference at The Hague
they had assurances faom high Euro
pean officials that any, suggestion as
to how to end the wrar would be wel
comed." With this knowledge. Miss DeQraff
believes that the Fod party may be
the means of bringing together ac
credited emissaries fzom all the em
battled countries, or the principal
belligerents at least.
"And should peace come." said Miss
DeGraff, "it Is my firm belief that
it will be on such terms as will make
for the betterment'' of women and
children througliout the world. That
was the concensus of opinion at The
Mgu4 and I Velievei that in the
peace that follows this war women,
wno Dear so muun oc the suffering
and sorrow of w&r will, be considered."
Miss DeGraff believes that Europe
may actually weiccsne the Ford party,
because it can see no way out . of Its
present difficulty ; except by con
tinued fighting, with rfio end lSi sight
except increased debit and misery.
The lord party, .including leading
American peace advoates, will sail
from New. York for Christiania next
Saturday on the Scandinavian-American
liner Oscar II. i Miss DeQraff
will leave Portland todajy, arriving in
New York Friday. Spie expects that
