HARBORS CONGRESS
At LEAGUE MEET
OREGON CITIES WANT MORE
HARBOR AND STREAM WORK
Opening of Panama Canal Shows
Wonderful Possibilities for Coast
and Interior Cities of State-Old
System to BE Changed.

Portland, ore, Aug. 10.-A har-
bors congress participated in by those
cities of the state located at points
reached by ocean vessels, will be one
of the big features of the Oregon
Development League convention at
Astoria, August IA, 10 and 16.
At this session some steps will be
taken to secure concerted action by
Oregon cities in securing appropria-
tions from the government for river
and harbor work. Heretofore each
city intending to improve its ship
ping facilities has had to go it alone
and the appropriation depended large
ly upon the good luck or political
strength of the port applying for
funds.
1t is proposed under the new sys-
tenn to change all this and lend the
united assistance of oregon cities to
meritorious projects for harbor i'm
provement.
OF great Importance in this connec-
ton will be a symposium on the bene-
fits to come to the Pacific Coast
from the opening of the Panama
canal. The two subjects naturally
have a close relation and are points
that must be considered by this state
if it is to realize to the utmost the
good effects of the canal.
Although James II. Hill. the en-
pire builder, finds it impossible to
attend the league convention. as he
had hoped, he will forward his ad
dress to be read Mr.. Hill Always
says something worth While and his
talk will be heard with interest. even
though he himself IS not in at
tendance.
Coupled with the Development
League sessions will be the attractions
of the Astoria Centennial, which
promises splendid entertainment for
delegates. The Astorans will enter
tain the leaguers in great style. for
the city by the sea is noted for the
warm welcome it extends to visitors
