Claims That Commerce Of the Inland
Empire Would Not Justify the
Expenditure. 3

Senator Fulton of Oregon had long
conference yesterday with Chairman
Burton regarding Columbia River ap-
preparations. Burton assured him at
the outset that there would be lib
eral appropriation for the mouth Of
the river. but stood out firmly against
the Cello canal on the ground that
commerce would not justify the cost
of the canal. and suggested that there
be another survey further to reduce
the cost. Fulton said Oregon would
not stand for that. He insisted that
the commerce Of the entire Inland En-
pire demanded the canal, and would
produce the commerce to justify it.
He said refusal to appropriate money
for the project would be taken as a
breach Of faith, and stoutly insisted
upon an appropriation.

PRESS ASSOCIATION WILL COME
National Editorial Association Will
Visit Lewis and Clark Fair.

PORTLAND, Jan. 25.-A reunion of
all the state press associations on the
Pacific coast is planned to be held at
Portland during the Lewis and Clark
centennial in connection with the ex-
cursion of the National Editorial as
ISOLATION, which will visit Portland
after concluding its sessions at
Guthrie, o. T.
The National Editorial association,
which is the largest and most repre-
sentative body of newspaper men in
the United States, met in convention
in Portland five years ago, and its
members brought home with them only
pleasant recollection of their stay in
the Rose City
The California, Idaho. Montana and
Washington Press associations are
agreeable to the idea of meeting in
Portland about the time of the ar
rival of the National association. The
Oregon Press association has already
voted to hold it's 1905 session in Port
land, and it is likely that the press
associations of Nebraska and other
states will swing into line as soon as
definite arrangements for the Guthrie
pleted.
