10 THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM. OREGON, WEDNESDAY JUWri t, ivzo PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOB APPROPRIATIOH Army Engineers Looking More Favorably on North west, Says McNary army, who bare an Important art iD deciding wbat rivers and arbors shall be developed through federal appropriations, are coming to look more and more favorably on the commercial pros pects of the Willamette Taller, ac cording to a statement given ont by Senator Charles L. McNary fol lowing his return from Washing ton, D. C, to spend the summer at his home near Salem. His statement follows: "No one thing which the feder al government has done for the northwest compares with the board of army engineers' decision that Portland should have a chan nel 35 feet deep and 500 feet wide from its port to the sea. This will give Portland a harbor equal to any port along the Atlantic, Gulf, r Pacific seaboard and will prove to be of immense advantage to that territory drained by the Col umbia river and its tributaries. "The board cf engineers, after a rehearing of a former decision ananimously accepted the lerger project and made to congrees a favorable and excellent report. erging the expenditure by the fed eral government of practically a million and a half dollars for that purpose and an annual mainten ance cost of several hundred thousands of dollars. "The house committee on rivers and harbors adopted a report which is now on the house calen dar ready for action at the next session of congress and unques tionably the report will be found acceptable by the senate com merce committee and the senate. "In a statement addressed to me and in a report made to the congress the board of engineers stated "that a large and important commerce has developed on the Columbia and lower Willamette rivers due in great measure to the efforts of Portland and the expen d'tiire of that locality of some 125.000,000 on channel improve ments and the construction of ter minal facilities. The extent of this cooperation demonstrates the belief of the people of Portland in the future of their port and indi cates the energy and earnestness with which they may be expected to work in the future." "The board of engineers are very sympathetic with the devel opment o'f oar ports and acted generously and splendidly la con nection with the development of Coos Bay, Crescent City. Umpo.ua, Skipanon. and Coqnille, and are making farther studies at Yaqui na bay. Tillamook bay. and along the Colombia and Willamette rivers. "In view of the generous treat meat offered the state by the board of engineers. I have taken the liberty of inviting the chief of engineers. General Jadwin, . to visit the state and Inspect the var ious harbors as a guest of the people. He expressed a desire to accept the invitation if the control work of the Mississippi river will permit of his absence." With respect to highway con struction the senator said: "Since the passage of the first federal aid road act in 1916, the mileage of surfaced roads In the United States has more than dou bled and the improvement In types of construction has been remark able. "Federal aid has been used in building 70,000 miles of roads and has been an important factor in this tremendous development, though the automobile probably has-been a larger factor. However there can be no doubt that feder al aid has stimulated road con struction in the states and tht it has brought about improved prac tices In practically all of the states. "This session of congress ex perienced the first effort to di minish government aid when the house, acting at the suggestion of the director of the budget, reduc ed the annual appropriation here tofore carried, of seven and one half million dollars to construct roads and trails in national for ests, to six and one-half million dollars. But when the agricultur al appropriation bill reached the senate the item was promptly re stored, Tjence the same amount Is now available as has obtained for the past six years. "For the fiscal year of 1929 Oregon will receive about two and ore-half million dollars from the federal government in the matter of the construction of highways. "The wholesomeness of the practice of government coopera tion in the construction of high ways is so generall recognised that it is doubtful if any further effort will be made to contract the present program. Indeed, at this session of congress at tempt was made to enlarge the present program by the appropri ation of three and one-half mil lion dollars for the construction of roads over the publicly-owned and untaxable lands of the gov ernment. "The bill passed the house and .58 HB TO GET ELECTRIC SERVICE PEP Company Building .More Than 10 Mites of Exten sion Lines in County In less than two weeks some St Marion county residents who have aot been able to enjoy electricity for the simple reason that It was not available, will be turning the button to illuminate their rooms. heat the iron, run the, washing machine and so on up and -down the line of the multitude' of home appliances now "run by electric ity. All of which Is a verbose intro duction to the fact that the Port land Electric Power company is now engaged in making a ten and fourth miles rural extension to its service. I The new line, when complete, will extend through Quinaby and Hopmere, turning east at the lat ter place to Brooks and then to the ranch of Hayes brothers in the Lake Labish section, where the electricity will be a welcome as sistance in the business of topping the onion harvest. The line be gins at the Woodmen hall at Chemawa. It represents an outlay of approximately $12,200. In addition to the capital and labor which goes into its construc tion, the extension required 200 poles. 152,000 feet of wire and 275 cross arms. Instead of using the customary cedar poles for the construction, the power company has substituted fir poles for this job to ascertain if they will out last the cedar poles in this dis trict. The fir poles have been soak ed in a solution of arsenic, blue ointment and salt for slightly more than the length placed un derground. The county home owners who will receive the service are: Mrs. J. L llaasey, Buena Vista school, W. Buchanan. Jake Gra xen, W. Landers, Edward Martin, W. F. Klampe, IX R. De gross, O. O.

MOVIES H the senate but was vetoed by the president and passed 1 over the president's veto in the senate, but failed in the house. "Unquestionably the bill ulti mately will become a law, as no one can Justify the government owning land and refusing to do its part In the construction of roads over its holdings. In my opinion the bill would have be come a law, had it been presented properly to the director of the budget, which at another session can be done." McAdoo Becomes Editor of Gervais Newspaper I. V. McAdoo, who entered the Salem job printing field the first of April, has secured another in terest in the editorship and man agement of the Gervais newspa per, the Star, and is keeping busy working both enterprises.

P. P. Hassler, former editor of the paper, is now in Berkeley, California. Mr. McAdoo came here from Scio, Linn county, where he conducted a weekly newspaper for several years. J. K.
