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.'; Portland; B. Bans, New York: W. H. Raymond. Portland; W. H.
