Professor W. D. Lyman of Whitman
college, who has been sent out by the
commercial olub of Walla Walla to
tour the state in an effort to unite the
cities and counties chiefly concerned
and to secure their cooperation in a
supreme effort to get the work of open
ing the Columbia and Snake rivers to
navigation done at the earliest possible
moment, will soon visit Spokane in
the interest of this work. Prof. Ly
man has given this problem much
special study. He has already visited
most of the towns of southern and
eastern Washington and bus every
where met with enthusiastic ieoep-
tlons and promises of suppott. Speak
ing of the open nver work, Prof. Ly
man said:
"In the present commercial pressure,
induced by the car shortage and Jack
of fuel, and in the midst of the great
struggle centering at Spokane over
terminal rates, it is natural that we
turn our minds toward measuies of
relief.
"Both the state and federal powers
are investigating the question of trafflo
and rates. Every sort of authority,
legislative, executive and judicial, is
invoked.
"Are we aware that the chief means
to solve this great question of rates for
us of the Inland Empire lies at our
doors unused? refer to the opeuiug
of the Columbia and Snake rivers to
steamboat navigation. The open
liver and the trolley line in conjunc
tion will solve the question far more
effectively than any decision of court
or order of commission can. They
will solve the question by the natural
laws of competition.
"They will break railroad monopoly
and oppressive and discriminating
rates as no other agency can. An
open river to the sea is the great rate-
maker.
"The aim of onr work is to organize
a campaign of education and enlight
enment and also to secure both con
gressional and state aotion to press
this vitally important work to a speedy
and effective conclusion."

110 PLED8ET0 DAVEY
Though Umatilla Delegation
Stands Together.
BARRETT MAKES A STATEMENT
After a Conference, Decision ia Made
To Support Salem Man For
the Speakership.
The Press has received the following
oommunioatioD from Hon. 0. A.
Barrett concerning the report that the
Umatilla delegation in the lower house
ot the legislature was not pledged as to
its vote on the speakership. The let
ter of Mr. Bairett speaks for itself:
Atheua, January 3, 1907.
Editor Press: In reference to the
statement in the East Oregonian of De
cember 31, on the speakership matter,
permit me to make this correction,
that no injustice be done either : Mr.
Davey or Mr. Vawter. While the del
egation is not absolutely pledged, some
few days ago the delegation had a
consultation concerning the speaker
ship, in which he asked for endorse
ment After the conference, while no
pledges were made, it was the con
sensus of the delegation that they
would support Davey. The delegation
oonsnlted together and aims to stand
together on the speakership. I have
tried to get both Mr. Steen and Mr.
Slusber today by phone, but have been
uuable to do so, but have no doubt
that both will endorse this statement .

No Such Thing as Luck
We sometimes say men who have
aoquired fortunes are lucky. If yon
should inquire closely into the facts,
yon would in all probability find that
it was not mere ohanoe that brought
their wealth, but their advancement
came about because they put them
selves in a position to make money and
kept ' persistently at it, andgwitb few
exceptions onr wealthiest men began
with small savings.
This bank will help yon to get a
start. We will allow yon 4 per cent
on your savings acoount compounded
semi-annually and give it our prompt
and careful attention. Meanwhile
your earnings are where they are un
questionably safe.
