FOR AN OPEN RIVER.

THE little excursion yesterday down
] the river to Lincoln and back to
and above Salem q mile or two, be-
sides furnishing q delightful outing,
may result in boost for an open
river the year round. In a sort OF per-
functory way we all understand that
the Willamette furnishes cheap
mode Of transportation, to people liy-
ing near It, but we do not realize what
that means. In other words, few If any
of us, realize the great area, and the
vast number of people whose only ac-
cess to markets is by way Of the Will
lamette river.
The fact that the river is practically
unnavlgablo for several months each
year works severe hardship on those
who must depend on it, for getting
their crops to market, and 1t retards
the settlement and development Of
the country tributary to 1t,
The United States engineers have
worked out a plan for giving the val
ley an open river the year round, one
that they claim is practical and GER
tain in its results, that will permit
beats Of good size to run the year
round, and will stll leave the river
practically as open as it is now for
the winter floods,
The people Of the whole valley
should get behind this movement, and
bring such pressure to bear on con-
gress that ii may be put in execution
The newspapers Of the valley will, in
this, as in all other things, do their
best and there is no reason why suf-
ficient pressure cannot be put on con-
press to get the necessary appropria-
tions.
The Capital Journal purposes giving
the engineers plans alluded to the
fullest publicity It can, and will in the
near future publish the plans in detail.
Suffice It for the present, that the pro-
posed system provides for a series of
lccks and dams, the latter so arranged
that they can be lowered in time of
high water, so that the river can have
the whole Of its channel to carry its
flood waters unhampered by them,
such DAMS so It is said, are in use
on the Ohio, and are a success
Another thing in this connection is
that with these dams, the waste water
furnishes vast power which could be
utilized in pumping water onto adja-
cent lands for irrigation. And this
would open up a big field for growing
late garden vegetables for the Port
land markets.
The soil is most prolific in the world
and with water for irrigation, the
truck growers would sure have a down
hill pull in accommodating big bank
roll
