I With the two splendid vessels, the steamer Independence and the launcn Louise, belonging to Claud and Frank Skinner, and the Victoria of Indepen dence, now under construction, there is every reason to believe the up per Wlllamtt will receive more at tention from the government dredger. It is believed on competent author ity that with the attention now being given to upper river navigation, with in the next few months navigation will be opened between Eugene and all lower river points. This Is of more than passing Importance to every res ident of the valley tributary to it. when it is remembered that through the opening of the Willamette river, to navigation railroad rates will be more uniformly adjusted to the mim lmum than through any other influ ence. Then, too, the acquirement of the locks at Oregon City Is al3o of paramount importance. It should be remembered that as long as the locks are operated as they are today the consumers pay for their operation iLrrVltfTl.

ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE Swift and Company announce that they plan to begin actual packing op erations In their new plant at Port land In July.
