HUSTLEtt, City Treasurer and Tax Collector. Astoria, Oregon, August 1st, 1S87, Earr HI AH A PEEE EIVER. The report of the committee oa progress and necessity, made to the Waterway convention at its session in Astoria on the 3rd pre sents a very gloomy outlook for the completion of the locks around the Cascades in any reasonable time. In fact, we do not know how it could well be gloomier than it is. Already 61,142,500 have been expended on the work done, and to complete the present plans it will cost a million and a half more. The committee says if in ten more years the works are completed, they will be agreeably surprised. It must be taken into consideration that a considerable portion of former appropriations have been used in erecting build ings, in the purchase of the plant, construction of the steamboat, blasting out the river below the locks, and in building the bulk head, and, whether these have been necessary or not, they will not have to be done over again in the future, and appropriations, with judicious management, should be hereafter used toward finishing the work. If the engineers in charge do not faithfully fulfill their trust in the use of the public money granted by congress for the furtherance of this project, there should be some method of ascer taining the fact, and for this pur pose a committee of competent persons should be appointed by congress or by our state legislature. If there is a waste in the expen diture of these appropriations the people should know it, and de mand through their representa tives at "Washington that it be stopped. We are fully aware of the fact that any move in this di rection might incur the lasting hostility of the secretary of war, Mr. Endicott, who, in the removal of major Jones, displayed his arbi trary tyranny in the matter. It is to be hoped that his official ca reer is very short, and that with a new administration some other person will be at the head of the war department than one who is allied to a family of railroad di rectors. The committee gives no hope-of any change to the contract system, and thinlcs the only feasible plan is for the state to take charge ii the improvement of the Coltuii'ii river. From past experience unh the general government, this view of the subject will be endorsed by the producers and businessmen of the inland empire. If we were living under a limited monarchy, perhaps public opinion would have some weight upon c6ngres sional action; but as we exist in a republic, where office frequently is the result of chicanery and the most detestable trickery, the case is different. After the president gains his seat in the White House, he is secure for four years, and he really pays little or no attention to the wants or desires of the people. Public improvements being under control of the secretary of war, and he being an appointee of the executive, he considers himself not amenable to the wishes of the people, and acts accordingly. The state officials arc more accessible to the voters, and the citizens can hope for more relief from this quarter. For years congress has treated the river and harbor bill as though it were a robbery, and in two or three instances after it passedt congress, it has met with a presidential veto. Mr. Cleveland Docketed it, and we never will know what has become of it, ex cept that it remains in the same capacious receptacle. The past is a criterion by which to judge the future. The late Democratic ad ministration came into power with a flourish of trjimpets, that the rights ot the people wouai be re spected. Time has proved the contrary, and Mr. Cleveland and his cabinet are more under the domination of railroads than any other preceding administration. The producers of the inland em pire have been literally robbed by the extortionate .charges of rail roads, and the only possible relief has met with little or no encour agement front the powers at Washington. A system equal to landlordism in Ireland has existed for long years in Eastern Oregon, and every petition for relief has befci -apparently .treated with dis dain by the powers able to grant it. The people lire satisfied that no sdeqtiate remedy can come from congress, and as a matter of self-protection let them look to Salem. -At the next election for representatives to the legislature, the producers and business men of the inland empire should be united in this one thing, that no men are elected who are not unequivocally pledged to this measure of an open river? The criniring whining of professional politicians should be unheeded, and men only who are directly interested in free naviga tion of the Columbia should re ceive votes. Party promises are as deceptive as they can be, and can be relied on in no instance. It is time for Eastern Oregon to understand the true situation and use every effort for its develop ment.
