Thnt the lock:? at Orpg-on City
shouM he nciiulrcd by the govern
ment, thereby relieving river ship
ping of the toll now exacted by the
Portlird Genera! Electric company,
owners of the looks, is practically a
unai imcim s-ntlment of legislators
from east of the Cascade mountains,
says tho Oregon Dally Journal.
The .senators and representatives
from eastern Oregon are also In fa
vor of the legislature's memorialising
congress nt the present session to take
steps to acquire the Oregon City
locks. Speaking on the subject last
night. Senator Wbealdon of Wasco,
said:
"Ml eastern Oregon people firmly
believe In open rivers. The tolls now
eolleeted at the Oregon City locks are
unquestionably a burden on river
sli pping, and we are In favor of mak-4
Ins the lecks free.
"1 br-Ueve I am expressing the xen
timenti of the entire eastern Oregon
delegation when I say this. While the
mere direct benefit from the purchase
by the government of the' Oregon
City locks would accrue to the people
of ire Willamette valley, wc remem
ber th.it they have been very generous
In providing for our needs at Celllo.
ai;d certainly will be favorably Inclin
ed to this project.
State Slight Purchase.
"We think that it is the province
of the national government to acquire
thee locks, but if this should not be
done, v.e would favor their purchase
by the state or the adoption of any
f thr measures to secure a free open
river."
A plan to provide for a commission
to larn the cost of purchasing the
locks and to survey the eastern lde
of the falls to ascertain the cost of
building new loi.ki In case it proves
impracticable to buy the old locks, has
been sucgested. Another plan was to
make provisional appropriation of
several thousand 'dollars to be ex
panded only in event congress makes
a like appropriation.
None of t'ie eastern Oregon legis
lator: were found who opposed eith
er of these plans. All believed It to
he the province of the federal gov
emmert to provide free locks, slncu
the govfrmnent controls shipping on
the ri;er, but this was not held to be
a reason why tho slate should not
act.
Open Rivers a Religion.
Senator J. Rowerman, of Gllllam-Shermr.n-Wheek
r, is among the east
ern Oregon legislators who favor an
oten Willamette river, as are also
Representatives C. A. Barrett and C.
W. Steen, of Umatilla.
"Open rivers Is the religion of the
eastern Oregon people," said Barrett
last night. "Of course, they are In
favor of It. Free locks at Oregon
City would be a great benefit, not
only to the Willamette, valley, but to
the entire state.';
