FOR COLUMBIA
RIVER NAv|-
CATION
Clark Assures Friends of
Open River That Appro-
priations Will Come.

Seattle, Dec. 10.-Champions OF
the opening of the Columbia river to
navigation from the Canadian line
to the sea are jubilant over the re-
ports from Washington that the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors Congress
now in session there has practically
achieved it's object--the enactment
of a bill providing for large an
nual appropriation for the improve
ment of inland waterways.
Champ Clark, who in all probable
ity will be the next speaker in the
house. informed the congress Thurs
day that there was every prospect
that such a bill would be passed dur
ing the next session of congress.
Spokane was well represented at
the congress, at which about 1000
delegates from all parts of the coun-
try are in attendance. Among the
delegates from this city at the con-
gress are Senator-elect Poindexter,
who Friday morning wired Secre-
tary r. J. Maclean of the Spokane
Wires relative to the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress re-
ceived. Also letter from Lauchlin
MacLean and F. E. Goodall stating
views. Have presented all to the
congress and appeared as a delegate
of the Spokane Chamber of Com
merce."
The rivers and harbors bill carry
ing an annual appropriation of about
S2S.000.000, was agreed on Thurs
quate share of this will be devoted
within the next year to the improve
ment of the Upper Columbia.
''No public improvement now in
hand" said Secretary Maclean, will
contribute more to the upbuilding
of the Inland Empire than the open
ing of the Columbia river to naviga-
ton for it's entire course. Canada
has already made overtures to our
government agreeing to make the
umbia on condition that similar work
will be undertaken this side of the
line. The census figures just pub
lished reveal the fact that, with few
exceptions, Spokane and the Inland
Empire have outstripped the rest of
the country in percentage of growth
during the last decade.
Spokane Will Double.
"All this potential growth that
will inevitably follow the open river
will give Spokane powerful impe-
tus toward the 100000 mark. There
Is no more important matter before
this community at this time than to
see that the Columbia gets its share
of the appropriation now in sight
I'm my letter to Senator-elect Po-
indexter," said Lauchlin MacLean,
who has been leader in the move
ment for the Improvement of the up
per Columbia, Il urged him upon the
necessity of making a lump appropri-
alton for the improvement of a def
mite part Of the river. To a large
extent appropriations in the past for
river and harbor improvements have
been waster owing to the niggardly
policy of Congress and the official
red tape that prevented the use OF
available funds when they could be
used to advantage. The distribution
of funds for river improvements
heretofore has been controlled too
much by patronage, instead of their
being applied where there was the
most demand for them
THE district with political pull
got the bulk of the appropriations
instead of the locality which could
have been greatly benefited by river
or harbor improvements. Instead Of

Poindexter's help 1t begins to look

Is star ball player foolish TO accept
q managerial position?
This has been a much-mooted question
in base ball for some time.
Some contend that managerial duties
play havoc with players ability; others
hold to the contrary.
4 perusal of base ball history would
lead one to believe that the alternatives
had carried the point.
Just at the present time it's a decidedly
interesting question. Several new man
ayers will hold forth in TIE majors, some
of them will be star players. Similar
conditions will prevail in a number OF
minor league clubs.
In the American League Hal Chase will
really make his debut as manager, al

1910 season as leader OF the New York
Americans.
