The Salem Journal cays that on pretense that the federal oovernment
till build a canal twelve miles long and costing H500.000 and relieve the
Krmers of the great Columbia basin, the state Is asked to abandon its
fertage railroad and leave the producers and shippers to the tender mer
les of tho Harrlman syndicate until they get ready to complete the 12
Bile rock canal. The people should fight this scheme because the pre
ipse of saving money for the taxpayers Is a fraud. The pretense that
he farmers do not need the portage road because there will be a aoverrv
recnt canal built Is a fraud. The business men and farmers of the Co-
Bmbla basin should unite to fight the repeal of the portage road bill.

tho Pennoyor administration, at a
cost of $05,000, saved to tho pro
ducers of Eastern Oregon tho full
amount of Its cost tho first year of
Its operation and hastened tho con
struction of tho canal and locks
thoro by taking away tho lncontlvo
for opposing legislation therefor and
tho bribing of contractors to delay
the work. As tho special sowlon of
the loglslnturo Is called only to iomo

either pro or con, will llkoly prove
frmtless.
Governor Chamberlain Opposes Re
peal. (Oregonian. Novombor 27.)
Governor Chamberlain ovlderftly
does not believe that the state should
give up the portage project.
"Tho national government," mid
ho last night, "has novor done cny
thing townrd opening tho Upper Co
lumbia until hls stato inndo Improve
mont3 tmneceswiry."
Hts Excellency explained by oiling
that tho national government billed
to open tho CnBcndos until that ob
struction wan reduced by n portage
railroad. Ho remarked that the na
tional government would bo Just ns
slow about Colllo Falls until that ob
struction wan likewise surmounted
by a portage road, and added:
"It's easier for tho railroads to do
font tho Improvement In congress
than In the Oregon legislature. Re
peal of tho poftane lnw would ilolny
the Improvement."
Only Want the Law Changed.
Tho schema to get rid of tho Btnto
portage railroad at The Dalhu is not
mow to repeal tho bill passtd by tho
last legislature creating tho portafco
commission and appropriating $165,
000 to build tho portage nt once.
Tho cry Is raised In tho Orogontnn,
and It emanates from tho engineer
Ing department at Washington, (hat
tho stato appropriation tshalt bo used
to buy tho federal govornmont tho
right of way so that tho govornmont
can build the canal.
If that scheme Is carried through
tho Ilarrlmnn syndicate will got tho
greator bulk of tho $105,000 and will
still bo tn control tit tho situation t.nd
ahlo to dolay the building of tho oa'nal
forover nnd a day.
Will any legislator bo caught by
that kind of badinage?
Tho Orcontnn cunningly Intimates
that the Portland board of trado may
advocato changing the law so ns lo
allow tho appropriation to be used
to buy tho right of wny for Uncle
Sam. . What would not tho Portland

whether ho captured tho robbor Mm

for hlmsolf or for some ono olso. This
