XJLL LEASED WIRE TKUiGRAPU REPORT
DOES NOT LOOK COOD FOR FREE LOCKS AND CANAL
AT OREGON CITY.
Trying to force the proposed goverment locks and canal onto
the east side of the river docs not look good to a man up a tree.
There is already a locks and canal on the west side around the
falls of the Willamette river.
Now it 13 proposed by the U. S. engineering department to
condemn right of way and buildd new locks and canal on the
Oregon City side of the river.
There would then be two sets of locks and canal around the
falls of the Willamette.
That is about a3 sure a way to kill the whole enterprise as
could possibly be devised.
No attempt has been made to purchase the present locks and
canal on the west side.
That canal and locks are owned by the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company.
The same corporation and large paper mill corporations own
the water rights and the water front on the east side.
With all the water that flows through the river used for the
enormous power and electric plants at the falls, they will resist
another canal being built.
There will not be water enough a great part of the year to op
erate two sets of locks and canals.
The right of way on the fast side of the river will cost about
as much as the total appropriat.ons now made by the federal
and state governments -$W'0,000.
Besides, the first step.? to build the locks and canal on the
cast side of the river will tie the whole proceedings up in litiga
tion. The only theory on which locks and canal can be undertaken
on the east side of the river is to defeat tl'o whole proposition.
It is stated that the U. S. engineers have recommended con
struction of new locks and canalon the cast side of the river.
It is presumed that, everyone ought to accept their opinion
and acquiesce in their judgment on such a matter.
Put why has no effort been made to purchase the existing
locks and canal on the west side of the Willamette river?
Is it because n lot of politicians think it sounds big to say to
h 1 with the big corporations; we will build new locks and ca
nal. L
That is the spirit of the ago, but it is not good business judg
ment under all the circumstances.
If the corporation has an indefensible title to the property that
cannot be alienated, their property should be bought and paid
for.
If no price can be agreed upon, there should be arbitration,
and if that fails, there should be a condemnation suit brought
to get at the value of the property.
The statesmanship that quails before contact with big inter
ests and can only build up on hostility to corporations is of the
small bore variety, anyhow.
, What the people want is free locks and canal at Oregon City,
for the purpose of securing open and untramelled navigation of
tho river.
The delegation in Washington and the U. S. engineering de
partment are making a mistake trying to destroy the property
of the corporations that have engaged in development of indus
tries at Oregon City.
The money has been appropriated, and is lying i He in the
slate and national treasuries, and the products of the farm and
the factory are paying high tolls at the locks.
When action is to be taken, it is taken in a way to delay re
lief and remedy for years to come.
It is time this matter was being dealt with ns men of ordin
ary business intelligence would ueal with it. '

disappearance Is the result of a love
affair theories that have been ad

still as far from solution as ever.
From the evening of last Monday,
when she left her home to obtain
tickets at a local theater, no one
has been found who saw her. Be
yond the different theories not a

Is still a puzzle to her family nnd

Tt'STIXfi A OLD AVL'LL !
AT THE I'EMTENTIAKYj
Believing that It may be possible!
to secure sufficient water to relieve ,
the water famine at the asylum from !
an abandoned well at the state pen
itentiary, the state, board yesterday
decided to make a test of it and :
should It prove that the members are1
right In their belief It will mean that j
the state has been saved from mak
ing an expenditure for the digging
of a new well.
The board made the decision yes
terday afternoon when It held a
meeting for further considering the
water problem and to listen to a
plan for relieving "It from Roland K.
Page, manager of the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power company. The
suggestion was made then that years
ago a well had been partially dug
near the penitentiary but that It had
been abandoned because of the lack
of appropriations from the legisla
ture. It was decided to bring a
pump from the asylum farm and
make a test of It and ascertain whe
ther sufficient water can be ob
tained from it before digging a new
well. In the event that the test should
prove a failure, it is likely that a
contract will be let to- Mr. Page to
dig a well, and install a pump, the
cost of which Is estimated complete
at $2-)00.
When the stomach fails to per-
I rorm its runctions, the bowels be.
j come deranged, the liver and kld
I neys congested causing numerous
j diseases. The stomach and liver must
be restored to a healthv
and Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets can be depended upon to do
it. Easy to take and most effective.
