C, Jan. 27, 1891. ; j Representative' Hermann very clev erly availed"; himself of the, presence of th Hon. 'AlNoItner, of thd saociratic Stat "Central committee of Oregon, whe was '(last week) -visiting "'this' city its a member of the national committee of his parly. In response to a particular request of the congressman, Mr. Nolt ner remained in town until Monday, the 2oth instaiat, when he was introduced to the house' committee ; on rivers and harbors. There was a -full attendance of members and the citizen from Oregon held their undivided attention for a good half hour. His argument for an open' river was based 'upon facts and figures which were stated clearly and with great felicity of expression.- . " :. . He gave a brief but graphic sketch of the vast .valley of the Colombia and its chief -tributary, Snake river, and then entered into more or less detail respect ing resources of the country destined to be developed by removal of obstacles impeding the navigation of the great water highway. Among other ' facts the committee learned, . during this talk, that twelve years or less) ago the cereal crops grown in. that part of the world, happily designated "The Inland Em pire," wire so inconsiderable as to be unworthy of especial . attention. . .The entire ' country east' of the: "Cascade mountains was then devoted to grazing cattle, sheep and horses.-. ."The. popula tion, outside the towns, principally en gaged in pastoral -pursuits. Wool was then' the only elaple' article of export. The agriculturalist had more recently come and planted wheat.--'But that cul tivation, at first experimental, had de veloped a permanent , tillage of the .soil for the production of breadstuff's arid had, generally speaking, destroyed the peculiar grass of the region and driven the stock man from the plains. This could scarcely be .considered . an evil in viSw of the prolific crops which followed the farmer's toil. The yield so encour aging to agriculture ' was, to put it at a minimum rate, from thirty to thirty-five bushels" to the acre," and he - TNoltner) knew of localities where sixty or more bushels had been harvested, per acre, but did not care to dwell upon excep tional instances. - : Harvests for the entire region now yielded,. in the aggregate, from thirty to thirty-five millions of bushels, per an num, which output might be trippled if the fanner could gain a market so as to sell for an average price of fifty cents per-bushel. t" The several members of the committee plied him with questions and subjected him to a searching examination, but he answered each to the point and imparted valuable information. Delegates from several boards of trade of towns in the Pacific, northwest, now here in attendance upon a meeting of of the National Roard of Trade. . ap peared before the committee this week at, the , req nest., of Mr. Hermann and made a very favorable impression. The fact that .the people of Oregon would not alone be- benefited, ,-bnt thtf' states of Washington' and- Idaho are'-lfkewise in terested in overcoming the obstructions of the Columbia has been made manifest by testimony and established as a fact which was before only approved by ref erence to the map. All these persons disclaimed any service of personal end by their advocacy of an vopern river butf fellow' citizens of the inland empire, i i The railway portage at the Cascades; ! recently constructed by the state of Or egon, had already demonstrated its great value to those who practically Jested its ability and a similar portage at the dalles could not but prove infi nitely more advantageous to the mater ial welfare of the farmer who could avail himself of its facilities for moving his crops to a market. ' ; Whenever any proposed measure I for the improvement of rivers and harbors, public . buildings, everything in" fact needed for the advancement and devel opment of the country, is more under consideration, it must be borne in mind that the Holmaa resolution, recently passed in the house, is a lion in the way constantly staring at every project' no matter how worthy. Notwithstanding that handicap Mr. Hermann is pledged to use every honorable means to Becure an adequate, appropriation for overcom ing the obstacle to navigation near The Dalles. He assures me that "after ma- mrerenecuon, ana aretuiiy canvasing with his colleagues of Che committee he has abandoned,; as impractiacable, any stKiopHi he in is irme, to secure even a hearing in behalf of any other improve ments or the river, between your city and Celilo, than by means of a portage railway. '.. This project 'is lei8 open to ob jections in the midst of the committee than other propesea plans and in the event of adoption will become more speedily available for purposes of com- .

Al tHotigh' the settate endorsed this method by a$8ge ot a billi'ddring the lasfiies sion'bf .tne.Ist ' ngress, tfre! house committee looks upon such schemes' "as au experimental innovation. .'Those ideas', together with a contemplation -of the1 atnbunt'of money involved.' bars it from consideration, : '-' ' ': - ' .:j . 'MaJor'Hafidbary estimates; that it will 3o8t' ' tSMjoWto'risttuc'Ocks and conais ana improve ceruiiu portions oi .the obstructions tosecure open., river navigation. .The length of time, such an undertaking would involve lor its - corn-' pletibn; to -aay nothing of the' mere bag-' atelFeoI three" and' "three quarters; of H a million1 dollars puts it without ' the tale of possibilities, 'or' probabilities -"riowi The rapidity, with which work has , pro gressed upon the' locks at 'the- Cascades, inspired the belief that if the Hand bury proposition should by any means ai!any' time be adopted, the crack ' of "cd6om would be at hand before the undertaking has fairly began." The 'portage railway scheme is therefore the only available project which "can now ' be' urged with any hope of success. "Until the 10th of February the matter will remain open for the consideration of facts and argu ments. The committee desires, .if ; it does not demand, more than mere senti ment as the substance of the considera tions which shall move them 'to 'favora-, Lie action. Mr: Hermann's petition has been fortified by -presentation of letters and statistics he 4!'has' received from Washington, Idaho and Eastern Oregon and from the governors of those states. The moral support of those communities has been helpful to his : cause. We un derstand that a certain mail, soon to ar rive, will bring him fnrthersupply of data from which he hopes to be able to authoritatively state the number of bushels of grain raised, quantity trans ported now by rail , and. river, amount ol freights and tolls. ..This, together with other documentary -evidence exhibiting possible or' probable savings to the farmer and so on, and so on, will be very helpful. : In the absence of delegations of influ ential citizen's properly accredited from ! the Dalles who could give" personal en-( dorsement to the efforts of your repre-C sentative, Mr. Hermann has a very dif-r ficult task before him.' Such bodies pf 1 citizens are continually, being sent from ' remote as well as near by. states, and are usually effective in promoting needful legislation', "as for example : ' Last year a special delegation came from California to urge a consideration of the needs of the people who desire improvement of the Sacramento river. They were re markably successful ' and that without any merit which will compare with the claims of the Columbia. , - Your congressman has urged the rep resentatives from Washington and Idaho to come to his assistance, but so far has fought for his measure Without their ac tive support, he believes, however, they will be enlisted in the good cause before it is too late." ' Thus far" he has availed himself of the presence of every Oregon ian visiting the capital and ' obtained their views for members of the commit tee, proverbially speaking; no stone has been left unturned and now he feels free; to express the hope that he will niicmed in obtaining substantial' recognition and endorsement for tne proposed railway. ;, y u ;.r : .
