Tolls Rob the Farmer I am also in favor of freo locks ns tho tolls thoy havo to pay now Is robbing tho farmers of this valley of thousands of dollars, and no doubt if tho locks wero freo tho railroad compnny would make lower rates.

To glvo tho people of tho uppor Wlllnmetto vnlley a freo and opon rivor to tho markets for their produce. To rollovo tho people from tho oxorbitant rates of tho railroads. As n matter of Justlco to tho people of tho Willamette valley tho federal govornmont should own and operate tho canal and lockB at Orogon City B. O. LEEDY, Lecturor State qrango, Sherwood, Oro. Freo Pnssngo Wny I am heartily in favor of nn open river from Portland to tho head of navigation of tho Wlllnmetto river; wo of Oreeon City feel that thoro should bo no toll placed upon goods by clthor private or public corpora tlons that pass from the lower to the uppor river, THOS.

WARNOCK, Nortons, Ore. Means Competition Yes as then we will havo compe tition. As it is now we havo very llt tlo for tho expense of going through the locks stops It. Should tho pres ent otrners ask too much I would bo in fa tor of buildine new ones. RICHARD SWIFT. Milwauklo, Ore; For tho General Good Yes, for tho general good of tho country. R. D. COOPER, Independence, Ore. i Live Stock EUtipper's Opialon Yes sir. It Is ono of the most im portant measures before the people today. We nqt only pay toll on all produce passing through the locks, but It makes It possible for the rail roads to add that mncn more to tbIr Make All Streams Fi I nm In favor of making freo' locks nnd cannl at Oregon City, In fact to make all navigable streams in tho groat state of Oregon free. ' WM. R. STEPHENS, Box 23, Dilley, Oro. . Purchase or Build I do if they can bo obtained at any prlco In reason, either by purchase of the present locks at n ronsonnblo price, or If that cannot bo done by building of 8epnrnto or other locks by the stato in tho most avnllablo lo cation for tho snmo under tho direc tion of tho stato.

A Logical Argument I fnvor any public improvement whore It Is to benefit tho pcoplo by so doing I thcrcforo favor this im provement If it can bo dono within tho means of tho pcoplo to do tho work. Whllo directly it might not benefit mo personally, but indirectly it will benefit us all. Tho moro you can- lmprovo tho stato tho moro valu able It makes tho wholo stato and tho grcntor valuo tho caster tho taxes nro raised. C. E. EDWARDS, Allegany, Ore. Right to the Point Yes. J. P.

His Voto the Same Yes. J. W. WOLFE, Brownsville, Oro. Good of All Producers Yes for tho good of all producers. Every man that I have talked to fav ors froo Jocks. C. P. Wells, Parker ,Ore. For an Open Rive I certainly am in favor of an open river. It would bo tho means to keeping rates of freight at reasonable figures. G. VALZ, Sublimity, Ore.

Wysong, Yes. Independence, Ore. should bo owned and controlled by tho state. Witji Just as few public BervantB to bo paid and supported by tho taxpayer ns possible. H. M. GRAHAM. Routo 1, Grants PnBS, Oro. A Marion County Farmer-- I favor free locks and canal at Oro gon City provided they aro. bought at their presont value. If not, build new ones. But tho legislature should sco to It that thore Is no graft at tached as was tho case with tho Bar low toll road. J. D. RITTER, Routo 2, Aurora, Ore. Favors a Fair Price Yos. I favor froo locks and canal, but I do not fnvor buying tho old ono at no such price nt contemplated, for nt prosont tho rnllroad boats control tho river traffic and thoy nro tho ones that nro gotttnc ho benoflt of thj locks if freo locks will encourngo competition it will bo all right. If not thoy hnd bettor bo toll looks. W. O. MORROW, Independence, Oro. of tho AVlllamettto rivor. Inclosed plenso find 25 cents for your Dnlly Journal to March 1, 1907. W.- B. FLESHER, Sublimity, Oru. Absolutely Necessary Yes. I think It absolutely nocos sary for tho futuro wclfnro of tho stato for ninny reasons nnd I favor If government will not act, our great stato of Orogon as early as posslblo procure tho old locks, or build now ones. ED. HOLLOWAY, Brownsvlllo, Oro. Wants Federal Control If by tho government, yos; but by tho Btnto It will requiro a groat deal ot safo guarding of tho Vnllrond will roap tho bonoflt, whllo us farmors aro busy paying tho tnxes to purchaso said locks. If by tho Btato I would suggest onough toll to pay for oporat Ing tho looks. M. N. NICKELL, MoMlnnvlllo, Ore. A Vqlcoifroin Lincoln I do. D. TRAPP, Chltwood, Ore. Open tho Wholo River Yos, nnd nn open rivor ns far as Eugene, ns I think rivor competition will lower freight rntcs which aro oxcessivoly high. In fact so high that tho srowth of this part ot Oro gon in vory much hold bnck E. F. MEISSNER, Kerby, Oro. Unlto State and Nation Yes, If tho gonoral govornmont will bonr a good portion of tho expense. Not in fnvor of paying tho prlco the presont owners nsk for thoir plant. J. J. SWAN, Routo 2, Lobnnon, Ore. Costs $150,000 n Ycnr I nm In favor of freo locks nt Oro gon City ns I think it would bo n great saving to tho farmers and ship pers of tho Willamette valley. The $150,000 n year tonnngo paid by tho producors of tho Willamette valley would soon pay tho cost of construct ing locks at Orogon City. F. B. SIMPSON, Jefferson, Oro. Prefers Undo Sam - I favor froo looks and canal at Oro gon City but built by tho U. S. gov ernment. E. W. MANNING, Gorvnls, Oro. Pcoplo Hnvo Paid for It Many Times Well wo suroly do need somothlng bottor than that llttlo old sluco box down nt Oregon City and if them Rockofollors down thoro will not soil It to tho stato for whnt it Is worth lot tho stato with tho holp from Uncle Sam cut a canal around tho old Ind dor that tho people havo paid for many times whnt It cost.

Opon tho Wlllnmetto river free to tho people nnd put n heavy HconBO on ovory boat owned by a railroad company. I bollovo in this kind ot robnto. W. J. WIMER, Waldo, Oro. Open the Wholo Rive Certainly nnd nn opon rivor from Portlnnd to Euzono. CLARENCE KOON, Junction City, Oro. Favors Stato Ownership For froo locks nnd canal built and ' owned by tho Btnto. FRANJ5 KRAXBEROER, Aurora, Oro. More Locks and Less Tax I believed that all locks and canals No Monopoly of nn 0mii River Yos, by nil moans. Thoro Is noth ing that will do as much for ronson nblo rntos as a freo Willamette and n freo Columbln. Thoro enn bo no monopoly of nn open rivor. J. M. SETTLE, Lebanon, Oro. At Head of Navigation I am in fnvor of "froo locks' by all means. LEE GAETSCHINS, Eugene, Oro. Will EquuUzo Freight Yos, to equalize freights between tho 'Vyillnmetto valloy and other places. J. M. PRATHER, Buonn Vista, Oro. Fri tho WnU-rways Yes, and freo waterways wherovor posslblo and no obstruction or doflcc tlon of tho natural waterfalls. I look with very deep concorn nt tho ovl dont Intent to seize tho water by solf ish Interests by tho nllowanco of franchises which can only bo used for mining as stated mlnorB Inchos can not bo used for exploiting power or Irrigation or nnything else away from the people. A. P. TODD, Sherwood, Ore. Favors Stato and Nation I do, but I believed tho gonoral govornmont Bhould stand tho ox pen8o tho samo as harbors nnd other such Improvements If this cannot bo dono I would fator tho stato taking tho matter up. This would look llko taxing too many for tho benefit of th few, but a broad view of thoso matters is what is needed other parts of the stato may havo other wants at some other tjrao any way. LEWIS STRONG, Myrtlo Point, Oro. Owo Mom Opposes No, I don't htlnk Jt would benefit any or but few farmers as thoro Is a railroad running the entire' dletanco Wants Ktato itnllmad No, to this nlso first bocnuso the navigation of tho Wlllnmetto river Is Impractical. It la only for tho pur poEo of regulating frolght dates that It Is thought of; thoro aro othor ways to roach tho desired ond thnt nro moro practical and moro In keeping with progress of tho proa out ago, ono of tho best plans would bo for tho Btnto to parallol noino ot tho great railroads with another rond nnd run It nt n small profit to tho stato. J. M. PHILPOTT, Harrisburg, Oro. Casts Hli Voto on the People's rmio Yes. J. W. ELSTON, Amity, Oro. Pay a Fair Prjc I favor freo locks at Oregon City provided they can bo socurcd without paying an exorbitant prlco to tho presont owners. Tho competing freight lines thus established would result in substantial bonoflt to moro than hnlt tho pcoplo of Orogon. II. O. STARKWEATHER, Milwauklo, Oro. P. S. Incloso subscription to March 1, 1007. Favors Jones' Hill- Yob, but nm not In favor of state paying three times what thoy nro worth.
