C. Hawley to the editor of The Statesman, printed in the news columns this morning , I For the important statement of the letter is this : "I shall continue to give the matter attention for he purpose of having developed an adequate all the year round channel in the riv4r." i This means that Congressman Hawley is committed to the project of'still water in the Willamette river, which will provide water borne transportation for this whole valley to the; ports of all the world. It will make every pound of the products of the land worth more; and every manufactured article in all this great valley. It will give our people the difference between a low freight rate and a high one for the surplus shipments of all kinds for all time. 11 - The letter contains the information that the chief of engineers of the United States army has allocated $48,228 for thedevelopment of the Willamette river above Portland, to 4e .-expended for the "maintenance and construction and repair of dikes and reVetments, operation and plant, and in ; dredging". yet. A ette." : i - ( , - r i : Old timers remember those famous words., For . years and years, there was a tight for a bridge at. Portland opposed by the ferry owners. Salem built the first bridge acrosS the Willamette, in 188$. And Salem is going to get still water to the sea. First. Then the up river cities will get it, up to Eugene. But what is Salem's fight is theirs. Salem first. bridge across the Willam- And it refers to the fact that the rivers and harbors act contains a provision for a new survey of the river, WHICH WpX BE MADE THIS SUMMER. ' jThat. survey is ta be made, looking to the 1 feasibility of buOding dams and locks in the river between Salem and Wilson ville, in. order to secure still water in the Willamette the year through.. River men believe that only two dams and sets of locks would be required, and each not more than 16 feet high.. . j" This would do away with the necessity and cost of dredg- inland building wing dams every year. It would provide permanent barge transportation, which would give upper river shippers an extremely low freight rate to vessels that might be4aoded in the stream at Portland, without docking perhapsas low as 5 cents a hundred pounds, or lower, to concerns operating their own barges and tugs to draw them. :Other countries, like Germany and France, have for years liad such; improvements in their rivers : !And it is high time that the Willamette river were made a navigable stream to Salem, and on up to Albany, Corvallis and Eugene. . . - ' NEWS OF SUGAR WORLD -" Air German producers of beet sugar are now fully and thoroughly organized for export, and they are going out after the markets of the world , But they jrill not findeasy sailing in the English markets, which" they dominated before the World war. The reason is that the British parliament has passed stiff tariff laws, with rates much higher than we have in the United States. And, ' on top'of this, subsidies are given for; the manufacturing of sugar in that country ; in England, Scotland and WalesS ; and thi payments oh these subsidies will run for the next, season to perhaps the huge sum of 5,000,000 pounds J , The combined subsidy and -tariff rate, give the English beet sugar maker an 'advantage over the outsider about equal ! to the price of : sugar to the consumer in the United States.' Such an advan tage would surely - booni the - beet . sugar industry 1n this country;;t :: I . ' r' . Would, in fact, make this country self contained in sugar within a" few-years. : ' , . - '. ,' . -Nor will the Germans be. able to make heavy inroads on the markets of the - United States; because of - the fact that they, would have to pay the fuT! duty on their manufactured article, while the Wall street sugar trust owning the cane plantations in Cuba gets 20 per cent preferential off the rate on raw sugars, making the charge abouf1.76 perlOO pounds. They refine their raw sugar at their mills in this country. ,. But the German people have long known the value of the bect sugar industry 6" all ItheirTbth'ef industries, especially those on the land, aricr they are justified in' goings to great lengths in bringing it back to the .point to which it had developed before the war, or above that point , , . .

And the will find Ways to dispose of a huge surplus in ctHcr countries, though operating at a disadyantagein the United States and in England, and in the British possession , It was a mean man who started the saying: "When you want a drink, go to the high school." Longer courtships are being de manded. by educators who evident ly don't know what a strain they are. - There must be something wrong with styles that inspire newspa pers and joke writers to hold them up to ridicule and mirth continu ally. When people go to a restaurant for dinner the orchestra or phono graph renders visiting impossible. When they go out riding the noise of the car forbids comfortable vis iting. When at home the radio has the same effect.

THE NELSON INTERVIEWS AGAIN The McMinnville Tefephone-Register takes a lot of editor ial space in its current issue to discuss the Prof. Nelson interviews. We may expect to see a good deal of this, as The Statesman said when the matter first came up And Salem is getting and to get a lot of advertising that is far from good advertising. For instance, the Telephone-Rlegister blames the Salem schools for the conditions existing herif they do exist, as the Nelson interviews say and intimate. h " .Compares the Salem schools with those in many other cities similarly situated, like those! at Olympia, Wash., for instance, "where every influence of clubs, organizations, moral teaching through the teachers, is thrown about the students to assist them to be law enforcers, not breakers. If the Salem system, with similar means at its beck and call, has failed, we place the responsibilityi in part at least, on the, system." f That is unjust to the Salem schools, and it is unjust, to Salem conditions generally. Prof Nelson did not aim to do such injustice, but he left inferences' that lead to them. ' r There are a lot of other: injustices done to Salem and Salem people in the Telephone-Register article, which The Statesman chooses to overlook .. ( But there 'is in conclusion a very' constructive suggestion, in which reference is made to' "Prohibition At Its Worst," the book by Prof i Irving Fisher, leading member of the Yale faculty. Collected by scientific methods, from the entire United States, the findings of Prof. Fisher are those of a very eminent statistician and economist who sought the truth on prohibition. His conclusions, moreover, are those df a man originally opposed to prohibition, - . . His conclusions are that prohibition, in the main, has been extremely beneficial to industry, that it will never be repeal ed, that it CAN BE ENFORCED, and that it will be enforced when American opinion, through education, is wbn to the virtues of such enactments. ; Salem has" got to prove that it has public schools that are progressive and efficient, and that they are backed by' a public opinion that is sound and sane. But for the Nelson interviews, these things might have been taken as a matter of course, because they are true. General Markets -o I o- PROVISIONS PORTLAND, April 2'.
