exclusion law shows that he will
not overlook the needs of the groat
western eountrv.
The Chinese exclusion conven
tion which met in Sau Francisco,
was composed of 3000 delegates,
representing all classes. T. ).
Geary, author of the eiclnsion act
was chairman of the meeting.
Resolutions favoring the re-enactment
of the law were passed. It
was a representative meeting that
voiced the sentiment of the entire
Facifie coast.
President Roosevelt favors the
re-enactment of the Chinese exclus
ion law. In Lis message he will
not only recommend the re-enactment
of the law, but will go far
ther and recommend that it be
strengthened to increase its effi
ciency. He will also call the at
tention of Congress in his message
to the advisability of doing some
thing to reclaim the great arid re
gions of the west. It is certainly
gratifying to learn that the great
west will be recognized.
It is no wonder that such an in
terest is taken in New York poli
tics. Salaries paid to municipal
employes aggregate 14.000,000, or
nearly one-half of the total budget.
The United States Army, with 6S,
("00 men in 1900, cost less than
IIS.CKhO.OOO. New York's police
force costs two-thirds as much as
the regular Army. The extraordi
nary salaries paid are instanced in
the fact that 44t men draw $4000
or more, tS of them $10,000 or
more, and cost the city in the ag
gregate 3.022,000 yearly. Salaries
range much higher than in the
Federal service, or in business:
even including laborers. New
lork s employes average quite a
little more than $1000 a rear.

THE 1S-
SATIOSAL AID TO IRRIGATIOS
President Roosevelt, it is under
stood in Washington, will take
strong ground, in his message, in
favor of national aid to the reclaim
ing of arid lands. This is an ob
ject toward whk-h the energies of
the Federal government may well
be directed. The briefest and
most general surrey of the situa
tion shows the necessity not only
of national aid, but also of national
control of irrigation.
From about the one hundredth
meridian westward nearly to the
Pacific are vast areas needing noth
ing but water to enable them to
support large peculations. There
is probably water enough in this
region, if it is fairly and judicious
ly distributed; to make nearly or
quite all these arid landsfertile.
Private enterprise, sometimes with
state aid. has made a beginning to
ward a solution of the problem.
Rut private enterprise cannot go
much further, for several reasons.
Many of the irrigation projects,
while certain to be ultimately prof
itable, axe ao vast that private cap
ital cannot safely undertake them.
Furthermore, the necessary works
often extend across state linen.
Even now, as in the case of Kan
sas and Colorado, states er in
conflict over the water of river ly
ing in both. To reconcile such
diuVrenc-s and avoid interminable
litiL'sti'in oul LhtioDal control w
suffice.
Aghin. the Americrn p-ople lack
The Portland Chamber of Com
merce sends out a neat booklet ad
voeatiug the advancement of the
commercial and industrial inter
ests of Portland and the state of
Oregon. While the main object
of this association ie for the ad
vancement of Portland, still there
are many things advocated and
worked for that would be of great
benefit to the state at large. Any
thing that will benefit the Inland
Empire, the people ought to be in
favor of. If we are benefited along
with Portland, we should not be
selfish nor should we be envious of
Portland. The Inland Empire
neede an open river, and if joining
bands with Portland will help mat
ters any, then let us join with her,
and the sooner the better. The
following article tells the story in
an able manner :
The urgency for the improve
ment of the Upper Columbia and
Snake rivers is so patent that the
question does not admit of argument.
Free navigation on these two im
portant highways is absolutely es
sential for the upbuilding of the
tributary country. Just so long as
the rivers are closed, the develop
ment of the country will be slow.
Once the rivers are opened, once
there is through connection with
the tide-water ports, the develop
ment will be tremendous for all
the forces that go to make up a
great forward movement are here,
awaiting the signal, as it were, to
go ahead.
At the present time the Colum
bia is navigable from its mouth to
The Dalles, by way of the Cascade
lock and canal, a distance of 190
miles. Between The Dalles and
Celilo the river is obstructed for
thirteen miles. Between Celilo
and Priest raDids, a distance of
198 miles, the river is navigable
under favomble conditions. The
Snake is navigable from Riparia
te Lewiston, a distance of 73
miles, and under favorable condi
tions, from Riparia to its mouth, a
distance of 67 miles.
With some improvement, the
cost of which would be justified
by the area that would be served,
and ita industries, the Columbia
could be made freely navigable
from The Dalles to the foot of
Priest rapids, a distance of 210
miles, and the Snake for the 140
miles of ita course from its mouth
to Lewiston. This would add 350
miles to the navigable waters ol
the Columbia and its tributaries.
It would open a natural trade
route for all of Northern Oregon,
all of Southern Washington and
the greater part of Eastern Wash
ington, aud nearly all of Western
Idaho, particularly the rich Lewis
ton region.
Some ill-informed persons have
insisted that because no vast devel
opment of country, and no large
increase of river carriers followed
the opening of the locks at the
jjj I Cas':de, the government would
n .t be warranted in spending the
amount of mony that would be
required to make navigation free
Celilo obstructions the stretch
westward from Celilo to the Cas
cades and the stretch eastward
I rv.i: i . . i. .. l J :.. I...

far the more important. For it is
not westward from The Dalles to
the Cascades that the great food
producing fields of the Inland Ktn
pire lie, but eastward of The
Dalles, in the region up to the toot
of Priest rapids on the ColucubiH.
and up to Lewiston on the Snake.
Here iu Oregon, Washington
and Idaho will origiuate the bulk
of the traffic that will come down
the Columbia when it is a free
river. The Cascade locks opened
only 31 miles of river between the
Cascades and The Dalles. The
overcoming of the obstructions at
Celilo would open 3o0 miles of
river. This is the difference be
tween the two projects : To bring
about the opening of the Columbia
and the Snake, the business men
of Portland will have to unite in
their own behalf and joiu hands
with the producers and merchants
of the Inland Empire.
