THUESDAY. - FEBRUARY 13, 1896
TION AT THE LOCKS,
The result of the conference held Tues
day at the Cascade Locks between Lieut.
Taylor, of the engineering corps, and the
representatives from The Dalles and
Vancouver Commercial Clubs and the
Astoria chamber of commerce, is full of
interest to the people of Eastern Oregon
and to the cities and communities along
the Columbia, whose interests will be
affected by the speedy opening of the
Tiver. While the condition, as ascer
tained, is not all that the friends of an
open river could desire, yet there is
much of encouragement in the situation.
Leaving out the consideration of the
permanent stability of tho work and its
protection from flood, at th'e very woret
an outlay of an approximate $6,000 will
place the locks in condition ' for continu
ous operation. A month of work, or
possibly six weeks, will find the canal
and its approaches ready for the passage
ot a boat.
J Wh
When
I
The sides of the excavation, between
the upper and lower gates, have neither
"been riprap'ped nor lined with masonry,
and the letting of water into this portion
of the canal is an experiment. If no
erosion cf its sides is caused by the rise
and fall of the water, the locks can be
continuously operated. If, on the other
Land, a washing of the banks results,
and the working of the valves through
"which the lock is filled and emptied, is
interfered with, then concrete wallB will
have to be constructed as a temporary
expedient.
The appropriation is now exhausted,
and there are no funds even for a trifling
outlay of $6,000. This, however, is fa
email matter as between The Dalles and
Astoria, the two cities who are showing
the most concern and interest for the
locks completion this amount can be
easily raised by popular subscription
and, permission from the war depart
ment having been obtained, the work
can be quickly completed. Thus, it
seems that the prospects for the passage
ol boats through the locks, either with
the middle portion as it now is, or with
the concrete, is good, and the fairh
and hope of the people is stimulated
again.
This, however, is not all. The ray
ages of the flood ot 1894 have taught
that some precaution must be taken to
protect the strip of land which lies be
tween the locks and the river from fur
ther washing away. The government
engineers are of the opinion that the
part of this protecting strip bordering
on the river must be riprapped or guard
ed with masonry, and estimate that the
cost (including also the walla of masonry
between the two gates) will be $413,000.
An intelligent survey of the situation
ebows that this further work is neces
sary. New conditions have arisen, for
which tho former plans do not prove
applicable.
There is but onn thing for the people
of Eastern Oregon to do set to work
impressing upon our representati ves in
congress the urgent necessity of this
. farther work, that they may use everv
endeavor to secure theneeded appropri
ation. The matter should be thorough
ly discussed through the press and in
representative gatherings of all kinds,
eo that the subject will be clearly and
thoroughly understood. Let the com
mercial clubs of Vancouver and The
Dalles, the chambers of commerce of As
toria and Portland (if it will) and like
organizations in Pendleton, Baker City,
La Grande, Walla Walla, and other
places to whom the early completion of
the locks is of vital importance, consider
the matter and prepare to take that ac
tion which will best aid in securing the
desired result. The time is ripe now.
The locks, in their present exposed con
dition, are in danger, and it is for the
people of this great inland empire to see
that the consummation of years is not
delayed because we slumbered in our
tents.
