Ths great inland empire of the North
west today reached to Portland, the
gateway city for its products.' that 'it
might receive a helping hand inita ef
fort to take the first major step toward
developing the Columbia Basin Irriga
tion project. '
Thla plea for cooperation in the recla
mation of the largest project In the na
tion waa made ty a Tfroup of Spekane
Business men who gathered at a confer
ence with' the directors of the Chamber
of Commerce and members of the agrl
cultural committee.
Spokane, the "hub" of the inland em
pire, wants Portland to organise a com
mittee which will coordinate with the
committees of Spokane, Seattle and Ta
coma In seeking; the solution for devel
opment problems in the reclaiming of
tne z.oou.wq acre arid tract lying along
the Columbia river in Washington.
SEEK FCKDS HERE -
In addition to this, . Spokane wants
Portland to contribute $3000 to a gen
eral fund of (25,000 which will bring
General George Goethala of Panama
canal fame to the Northwest, bo that
he may survey the project and determine
the most feasible method of ; developing
It. Already Washington has contributed
lit. 500 of this fund.
The plea waa made on the basis that
the products from this great area would
pour into Portland. The speakers were
Oeorg A. Phillips, president of the
Chamber of Commerce of Spokane i N.
W. Durham of the Spokane Spoke smazv
Review and chairman of the Columbia
Basin committee, and J. A. Jford, gen
eral secretary of th Spokane chamber.
The purpose of the visit to . this city
waa explained by Phillips as follows:
"The development of this vast project,
which urveya show to have j 1,751,000
acre below the 1700-foot level.' involves
such, a large amount of.'TTKuiey .that ,it
can be handled, only through federal aid
funds. Such' fund are soon lo be made
