Washington, D. C, May 7.-(Spe- cial Correspondence of the Republi- can)-NO abler advocate of a sound and comprehensive system of water way improvement than Senator Geo. k.

A man of such character. personality and attainments as to have made him so much stronger than his party as to be elected governor and senator in a state opposing his party views. must naturally be reckoned' aviriIe individual factor in national affairs.

In 19O7. then gov ernor of oregon, he attended the famous conference of governors gath cred at Washington upon the invi- tatiOn of President Roosevelt to dis cuss the conservation of national re- sources.

 all question all important that har- 1 Dor terminal facilities should be free | ly and unrestrictedly available to

 held such terminal facilities. in d
 way that practically annulled the i cheaper rates that would have ob- { tained with terminal facilities free to the public. There should ~besome | power to control. to regulate these | things. and that power, in my opin- ion. undoubtedly belongs to the gen

Senator Chamberlain has evinced a rare grasp | of waterway and transportation prob l lems as they apply to the whole ! country, and even beyond its bor- | ders.
 He spoke of one Of the most in- ! teresting river improvement confer ! ences he had ever attended as that | held last summer at Nelson. E.

Sir Wilfred Laurier, the l improvement of the Columbia. the l great stream which divides Oregon | and Washington. runs through 600 1 miles of American territory and | drains in a course Of another 500 i miles vast productive area of Can ada. The conference agreed upon the proposition in a tentative way that there should be international coop |, eratiOn in the improvement Of the | great river which should give unob- structed mitigation from the head waters of British Columbia to the i rivers mouth between the states of | oregon and Washington, affording by 1 waterway shipment vast stores of , grain, ores, fruits and other products | of the two countries. The prOposi- | tion is only tentative as yet, but is entirely worthy of fulfillment." said | the senator. There is no serious en- gineering obstacles in all the 1900 ! miles. Both oregon and Washington have already made liberal apprOpria tions for the public work. and no | doubt the governments of Canada l and the United States will solve the problem in a cooperative way. This would form a most important part of the great system of waterway i'm
 provement advocated by the National River and Harbor congress-
