The conventioa opened in the
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock being
called to order by President Ellis
of the Albany Commercial Club.
The opera house was well filled,

Governor Chamberlain was the
first speaker, and his ubject was,
Waterways of Oregon, cer
tainly a timely topic at this
time. During his address he
dwelt upon the Oregon City
iocks pioposition.
'It as your chief executive,"
exclaimed the Governor, "insist
ihat the government of the Uni
ted S ates should- condemn the
locks and appropriate money to
control them. The trade of the
Willamette valley towns is suffer
tng under the incubus of this ex
cessive loll."
This statement was greeted
with the most enthusiastic dera
onstration ot the afternoon. In
this connection the speaker asked
why the transportation rates from
Portland to The Dalles, -a dis
tance ot practically ninety miles.
were the same as from Portland
to Salem, a distance of 56 miles,
He answered this by saying that
the lockage charges at Oregon
City more than made up for the
diherence. "
"If the -government of the
United States will do rjothing,"
shouted Governor Chamberlain.
"then I, as chiet executive, . say
that the people of Oregon should
act, and condemn, purchase and
operate the locks in the name of
the state. One million dollars
would be a cheap price for the
people of Oregon to pay to rid
themselves of this condition."
Action taken by the conven
t;on: Legislature uretd to enac
legislation leading to abolishment
01 tons at vjregon city -locks.
Lfgislatuie urged to work for
enactment of law providing for
railroad commission with rate
making powers and providing
for reciprocal demurrage, with
proper penalties.

Literary Program
School districts No. 3 and No. 32 have been invited to furnish this
part of the program.
i Invitation
: Our regular annual gathering of friends of our public school,
for this section of the county, is set on the above date. These annual
ed cational gatherings are now looked forward to by our parents and
school children with much pleasure. The benefit of them is seen in
the results of the same and the intense interest displayed by every
one. We find it is not necessary, as it once was, to urge our friends
of the public school to come out It is now the pressing problem,
hjwto house the large numbers attending- We trust you will come
even should you feel that perhaps you will have to stand. Remem
ber the hour of beginning,- for we will begin promptly in order to
closi the meeting so that all may return .to their homes in time to do
ihe evening chores before night. Come with your family and dinner.
D ju'c kee p away because the .baby might make a' noise or cry a little.
Bring it along; its little noise, will, not harm or disturb anyone.
