TO IMPROVE RIVERS National Congress To Be Ashed (or Filty Millions. WAR EXPENSES COST FAR MORE Congressman Ransdall. Chairman of Rivers and Harbors Congress. Makes Startling Statement. The United States govornmont ex pends 25 times more in indirectly fos tering trndo than in doing so directly. In otlior words this governments cjK'nds 1500,000,000 annually for war nnd its cflecti, which are. presumed to foster trade, and but $10,750,000 for tho im provement of rivers ami liartiors m mis country a direct method of not only fostering, but also creating and up building trade. This is the essence of n startling statement ninilo by Chair man itunsdell, of tho National Kivers and Harbors conrgess, in n recent ad dress boforo tho Portland Chamber of Couuncreo. He stilted that the nation nl government annually expends $100, 000,000 for the navy, $100,000,000 for the army and $144,000,000 for pen sions. Congressman Itansdell believes that if tho United Statos can afford to expend so vast n sum annually for war, it suroly can mako at least substantial appropriations tor tlie improvement oi tho rivres and harbors. It has been estimated that an appropriation of $50,000,000 at tho coming congressional cession will aid materially in improv ing many of tho present rivers and har bors and" open others so that they may becomo navigable and be what at pres ent they are only supposed to be tho main arteries of trade and practical rate reducers. To do this tho leading com mercial organizations, and, in fact, overyono interested in tiio welfare of our country, is co-operating so that all forces may throw their inlluonces to gether and secure this appropriation, tho effect of which will necessarily bo inestimable. Ablo men will head tho Pacific Northwest delegations to tho National Kivers and Harbors congress which will meet in Washintgon, I). C, on tho 0th and 7th of December. Tho object of thoso who compose this congress is to pccuro a national appropriation of $50, 000,000 for the improvement of tho rivers and harbors of this country nnd with the tremendous influence of this powerful oragnization there is no doubt of success.
