NEW OPENING FOR GEORGE.
Why Not Secure Appropriation for
Historic La Creole River.

Why not pray our representatives
in congress to secure governmental
appropriation for the improvement OF
the La Creole river? Three of foul
millions of dollars would undoubted-
N suffice to improve the stream to a
navigable depth from its mouth to
Dallas, and possibly a few rods be-
yond, thus affording this great and
growing section water transportation
facilities to Eola and into the William
cite. Municipal wharves might then
be constructed on the waterfront near
the Main street bridge, and the move
ment of commodities would soon in
duce the building of great warehouses
for the accommodation of goods
brought hither from all foreign town
ships having riparian rights by steam
ship companies that would speedily
become identified with n waterway of
far less Importance than any other
on the Pacific coast.
Now is an opportune time to in
augurate such movement, as Uni
ted States Senator Chamberlain is
evidently making river and harbor
appropriation for Oregon speciality
in connection with divers and sundry
other campaign plays, and he couldn It
consistently turn down such a weighty
proposition as the one here presented
for consideration. 1t might, however,
prove better politics to ask govern
mental aid for the Rickreall river, on
account of that streams connection
with the early history Of Oregon, but
in either case the promoters would
undoubtedly be assured of encourage
ment and support 1t would have been
a pretty feather in the top-piece of
"Our George" if he had forseen what
this undertaking would mean to him in
Polk county, and had instituted it
without this meritorious hunch, but
even though it may have been sug-
gested the introduction of belated
resolution to include this spillway in
the appropriation bill might have the
effect of improving his chances.

NOTICES ARE DESTROYED.
Warnings Posted By Fire Service
Torn From Their Place.

"Fire warnings are being torn down
along the streams in various places in
this and adjacent counties, and un-
less this vandalism is discontinued the
perpetrators of the crime, for crime it
is, are going to get into serious
trouble" complained Inspector w. V.
Fuller in the presence of The Observ-
er man yesterday. "There is penal
ty of not less than $25 nor more than
$500, or imprisonment of not less than
10 days nor more than three months
for this offense, and if the warning
notices posted to replace the ones de
stroyed are disturbed the matter will
be fully investigated and the guilty
one punished. he continued.
A fortnight since Fire Warden Har-
ris put up a full set of notices, and
practically all were destroyed. 1t is
important that these warnings remain
in place, and Mr.. Fuller purposes
seeing to it that they do.
