In an editorial a couple of is sues ago we pointed to the neces sity of maintaining an open river the year around on the Upper Willamette. This is not mere idle talk it is a stern necessity. In the article referred to a state ment was made relative to the construction and cost of the great Brie canal in New York state. This was done in order to show the importance attached to water transportation by the people of another state. In an issue of later date the Journal takes up the matter of "water ways, the salvatidn and safeguard of Oregon . ". The ar tide is worthy consideration by all serious-minded people and on this account we reprint it, as fol lows: There is nothing that impresses an American in Europe more than the use by the people there of wa ier communication, and the com parative neglect ot the same means of transportation in this country . There, every advan tage is taken of the nat ural chan nels of trade, and when they do not exist or are insufficient for the commerce no sum is too vast to be spent ior the betterment or building. Hamburg is 70 miles from the sea and has to unload and reload passengers and freight at Cuxhaven. It is one of the greatest seaports in the world and it has been created by the expen diture of enormous sums of mon ey. From the upper Elbe it is " said over 20,000 river craft of 5,000,000 tons arrive annually, and lasj vear tonage aggregating money and power, . expand its trade and influence.. X the south one other com mercial rival has the sympathy and efforts of another great rail road system, while we must de pend upon ourselves. We ask what is any great railroad com pany doing for this city? What great . system interests itself in our welfare? The question an swers'itself and we must depend upon ourselves and force recog nition. The instruments are in COURT MATTERS. Various Matters of Importance ' Received Attention Bills Allowed. : J In the matter of advertisement of Benton county through Ben ton County Citizens' League, B. W." Johnson J. H.

Glasgow, . on the Clyde river, once a "muddy estuary"' a some what longer distance from the sea, is one of the world's greatest sea ports; the river isso narrow that vessels have to be launched broad side on. Compare these creeks with the mighty Columbia and imagine, il you can, the use that would , be made of: it if it ; flowed through , Germany, or indeed through any other country in Europe. 1 All of which furnishes a text that every resident . of Portland, whether property holder ox merchant, had better taxe to neart, tor as sure as water flows down hill just so sure does Portland's future wel fare, growth and. greatness de pend on the use and development of its water, highways. The soon er this is realized the sooner it is acted on,' the better. In 1,200 rniles the Columbia winds and flows from the moun tains ot British Columbia until it finally pours into the sea. For hundreds of miles the ' Snake river drains a rich territory until it loses itself in the Columbia. The Willamette drains the rich valley of the Willamette and joins its greater sister 90 miles from the sea. . At the junctcon of these rivers sits Portland. Where would an empire ' builder locate a city but at this point? Where but here should be the great me-! tropolis-of t the northwest ? How have we. used, how are. we us ing these talents, God has endow ed us with? To what extent are the producers of this interior get ting the advantages which should follow from water communication and cheapened transportation. Notwithstanding high moun tain ranges bar the way and in crease tremendously the cost of the haul, the produce from the very banks of these - rivers are transported hundreds of miles further and are marketed on the sound. Why?. The answer is but to out shame. Two great rail road systems use their power, and wealth to build up and increase 1 the trade of that city. They or allied companies build ' great business blocks for jobbing and manufacturing i centers,, . improve lands, Tiuild steamships,:' branch lines of railroad, -and in. ..every to be $111, and of No, 23 to be way. 8o.

He possesses the happy faculty of getting whai be desires, and which is right and proper, without any apparent effort. But he gets it iit laree doses, too. . " .., There has been a rumor float ing around like a gentle zepher for some time to the effect that OAC cadets were soon to change to an "All Drab'? uniform. It seems to be settled nqw that the boys are'' to have hew uniforms ior their encampment at the Lewis and Clark Fair. The lieutenant has not insisted that any of the cadets change irom their present dress of blue to the Vail drab, ' . but they are going to change, perhaps to a man, just the same. ' , " ' Since coming to OAC Lieu tenant Quinlan has been in live ly correspondence with various uniform-manufacturing firms and has at last selected a San Fran cisco firm witb whom to place this order. This .firm is so de lighted with the contract they are receiving that they agreed some time ago to send a special cutter and fitter to this city to measure the boys for new uniforms .when ever the authorities should sig nify their readiness for the same. . Last Friday a telegram was sent for this man to come and he may be ' expected now any day. The new uniforms are to be of the regulation U. S -arm'y pattern and the boys will present a great appearance in them whervj they go down to the Expositiou This is great in more ways than one. It is figured that fully $5, 000 will remain in the state that heretofore was sent east of" the! Mississippi every . year for uni-' forms. , , It is very agreeable to have this change effected at the present time, as the uniforms of some of ther boys were becoming a trifle frayed. On the other hand, many of the cadets possess new uni forms. However, it has been the intention all along for the boys to change to "all drab" next fall. In order that none of. the boys shall sufler. by the change Lieu tenant Quinlan states that those who have blue uniforms in good condition two month's wear will be allowed them next fall. - To change the subject slightly, it is fitting hereto state that Lieu tenant Qui ian has just been in formed- that the authorities at the Exposition are going i ' ll r iit the tents for the cadets whfij ihty go down in June. It semis as though all Hie good thisig-i are coming at once.
