In changing plans to effect economies;
and from Information I have received
I think I am quite within the mark
when I state that such changes as
have been made have resulted in a
saving of $300,000 and possibly more.
The officers In charge of this work
from 1900 to 1915 were as follows:
Major W. C. Langfitt, U. Col 8. W.
Roessler, Major J. F. Mclndoe, Major
J. B. Cavanaugh (temporarily for four
months), Lt.-Col. Jay J. Morrow
(from March, 1910, to date).
Assistants Captain A. A. Fries
(under Col. Langfitt), Capt. Henry H.
Kohert (1910-191J), Capt. Theo. H.
Dillon (1913-1916).
Civilian engineers- -Mr. Fred C.
Kchubert, assistant engineer; Mr. O.
E. Goodwin, assistant engineer; Mr.
W. o. Carroll, Junior engineer; Mr.
Ink Brownlee, Junior engineer; Mr.
J. H. Polhemus, Junior engineer; Mr.
Frank Haunders, Junior engineer.
Mr. A. Seymour Fleet, who design
ed the gates for Cascade Locks, also
designed these gates.
It Is but aue to Mr. Fred C. Schu
bert to state that he has been with
the work throughout Its entire life,
and a more enhusiastlc and devoted
officer It would be hard to find. I1
have gone into thews details at some!
length In order that Justice might bei
done to the corps of engineers of the
United States army, which corps nan
in charge In addition to Its other du
ties, the work of the river and har
bor Improvement of this country. "
The result of this particular Im
provement demonstrates that where
the engineers have the opportunity
they secure results. The handicap
they labor under, what with Intermit
tent operation and various limitations,
both under the law and otherwise. Is
but little realised by the people gen
erally; and I am glad to have this op
portunity to express my respect and
honor for them, representing as they
do a branch of the service that has
been distinguished throughout Its en
tire life for honor, Integrity and abil
ity. On October 22, 1805, and again on
their return on April IS of the fol
lowing year, the Lewis and Clark ex
position, Inaugurated and made pos
sible by that great statesman, Thom
as Jefferson, made a portage around
Celllo Falls. It is interesting to note
that the obstruction to navigation at
this point has been used as a never
falling means of extorting tribute in
one form or another from the public,
for Its control meant not only the con-'
trol of the traffic In general but at
times of men as well.
Indian Troubles.
From the time of the first settle
ment on the Columbia river at Astor
ia by the Pacific Fur company on
April 12, 1811, until after the arrival
cf Dr. John McLoughlin as chief fac
tor of the Hudson Bay company In)
1824, there was trouble with the In-1
dlans at Celllo. Their control of the!
portage practically prohibited other!
Indians from traveling between Celllo'
and the lower Cascades. They acted!
as traders, pxschaslng commodities
.from the Indians above Celllo and
other commodities from those below
the lower Cascades, thus acting as
both buyers and sellers, making a
profit out of both ends of the transac
tion and keeping the trade wholly In
their own hands. Until about 1883
transportation companies had and ex
ercised substantially the same con
trol as did the Indians In the earlier
days. Prior to the time of the com
pleilon of the railway along the Co
lumbia river traffic could be handled
only by steamer, and a portage around
Celilo Falls was necessary. Competi
tion on the river was Impossible, as
the company controlling the portage
would not transport goods over its
road for steamboats other than Its
own. Even with the completion of
railway and the substitution of rail
for water transportation, this obstruc
tion in the river continued dominant,
and not only prevented the use of the
river for navigation, but also helped
to maintain high rates by rail.
Thus we find that whether the por
tage was In the hands of Indians or
Anglo-Suxon it served Its hold up pur
pose equally well. Indeed It would
be difficult to capitalise and put In
exact figures the value which In the
past this obstruction to commerce has
represented to those in control of It
It would run to a magnificent am
ount, and, If It could have been con
tinued Indefinitely, with the growth
j and development of this country It
would nave become a prise well worth
striving lor. Perhaps the history of
thN portage will serve to explain why
so much opposition to similar projects
such as the Panama canal, and Indeed
to the Improvement of waterways
generally, Is made.
The Shackles Broken.
So far as Celilo Is concerned, how
ever, the shackles are broken. - The
liver ia free at last, and tolls based
on the control of this portage will no
longer be levied either by red man or
white man. One chain was sundered
at the Cascades; another we are
breaking today; soon Priest Rapids
will be freed, and then our dream
will almost be realized. '
I tr.uy also say that-we have not
been idle In other directions and that
while I lie engineers were clearing
channels, building locks and dlggln,;
canals, o.hers were working on the
no less important work of freeing our
rivers from a control that tended to
make these improvements of no avail.

Ing not only the opening of this Ce

and In fact; for now, after all these
years of struggle, the steamboat will
have a fair chance, and the river will
be able to serve Its purpose unham

for twenty years. No other treatment
