For years the people of the Inland
Empire have waited in hopes that the
Columbia would be an open river, and
navigation made possible from the
ocean inland for hundreds of miles. The
hope is evidently about to be realized.
The mills of God have been grinding
out this problem for years, and at last
satisfactory plan has been evolved
and adopted. All that remains to be
done before the work begins on the
canal is to secure to the general govern
ment a right-of-way and this is not
likely to cause delay, although the O.
w. R. & N. people, should they be dis
posed to make trouble, they might keep
work at standstill for time. This
huge project is an improvement too
great to be measured or properly ap-
preciated. 1t will settle the freight
question to the satisfaction of the peo-
pie. The passenger business will be of
no small proportion and one of our big
attractions to the tourist will be the
600 mile river trip from the ocean into
Idaho. 1t is impossible to estimate
all benefits which the Pacific Northwest
will derive from this belated enter
prise. Portland, of course, will be
benefited most, and another big trail
will be established leading to that city.
The 81, 000,O which the improvements
will cost is no small matter. Portland
will get most of this, but, after all,
such sum dropped anywhere in the
north coast country is a benefit to all.
1t is well for US to bear in mind that in
less than hundred years the Pacific
States will be the scene of far greater
commercial activity than the Atlantic
coast.

OF
LOCAL ATHLETIC
CLUBS EFFECTED
Washington Cross Country Club and
Washington Athletic Associa-
..- ton Join Forces.
WILL COMPETE AT BALTIMORE

> The much-talked-of consolidation Of
the Washington Athletic Association and
the washington Cross Country Club was
successfully effected yesterday at a
meeting OF delegations of both organtZa-
tons concerned at Spaldings. The COM
bined clubs hope to give this city the
best athletic association which has ever
existed in Washington, that being the
motive of the union.
The matter has been under considera-
ton by both clubs for some weeks, and
was made possible after President Beach.
Of the association. had explained TO the
cross country club delegation the terms
which he and John Stowell. former pres
ident of the latter organization, had
determined upon prior to the meeting OF
the two clubs
President Beach stated the aim of the
founders of the Washington \. A. to be
the promotion of an athletic association
on a plane with the. big clubs In other
Eastern cities. He also remarked briefly
on alleged factionaI differences which
might arise If both clubs allowed the
rivalry which formerly prevailed between
the Tremonts and the cross country CLUB
TO interfere with furthering the interests
OF the Washington A. A. in general. lie
emphasized the fact that such unpieas-
antries would have to be eliminated II
the club was to work in harmony.
Both the Washington A. A. and the
former cross country club think they
will derive untold benefits in working.
for the one purpose instead Of in compe-
tition The former club has the men,
bership willing to support a team, while
the other had the athletes but lacked
sufficient financing. The consolidation is
expected to rectify these difficulties and
give Washington a representative track
team for the different A A. U. and
other championship meets.
The team which will go to Baltimore
to represent the Washington A. A VIII
be composed of the ranking athletes OF
this city and of strength which is hoped
will administer defeat to its Baltimore
rivals. The team presents well-bai-
anced personnel. men being entered ID
every championship event
The following athletes will make the
trip next Saturday for the Washington
A. A. and will compete in the different
events:

had he taken a chance, could have made
the plate easily. and it would seem as II
this should have been the proper move.
, Two bases on balls, singles by Cobb and
Corridor, Crawfords s sacrifice fly and er-
rors by Foster and Gandl on poor
throws gave Detroit its three runs In
the opener. Cashion's curve bail during
this round refused TO work, and when
he put his fast one over, away sailed
the pill. Later during the game Carl
located his curve somewhere. and was
harder TO hit.

NOTES OF THE GAME

Milan added another stolen base to his
record when he sneaked down to second
with Foster on third in the Nationals
opening round.
Cobb fooled Foster to-day when he
laid down bunt, as the midget was
laying back and could not get the ball
in time.
1t seemed as If the Nationals never
would get the Tigers out in the first in
ming. .N
Cobb made a sensational catch Of a
line drive from shanks bat in the sec
ond. robbing the good looking young
outfielder of triple. -
Al williams threw out the mighty
Tyrus the first time the peach attempt
ed to swipe second.
Laporte's single in the Nationals
fourth went for naught. as two were
gone, and Shanks made the third when
he took three healthy swings.
Foster. Laporte, and Gandil figured in
a double play which retired the Tigers
runIess In the fourth.
The Nationals got Williams to third
and MoeIler as far as second in the fifth
inning. but Fosters foul fly to Onslow
did not make a noise like safe hit.
Foster booted Corridon,s smash in the
eighth, but recovered the ball In time to
snag the runher at first
Crawford did not get a hit on Cashiou
until the eighth. 80 -
Cobb and yeach pulled on a double
