RIVER ANpHARRoR BILL.
Oregon Granted Less Than New Yo,'
and Mtchirau

and Michigan.
WASHINGTON, April Is. - h c
money allowances for Oregon exceed
anything ever before appropriated
by congress, even with the senate
amendments and in bills aggrega-
ting as much as the present bill for
the nation at large, and the state
can thank her representative in the
house for these magnificent figures,
as 1t is conceded by the members of
the committee that to his persistence
is due the great increase over former
Oregon allowances from the sanle
committee. The items for the Col.
umbia river aggregate 81 900, 900 and
for single waterway its allowance
is only exceeded by that of the Miss
issippi river and the Sault Ste
Marie canal and locks on the great
lakes, where $s5, 100000 in traffic
passes through annually. Oregon
ranks next to New York and Mich
igan, being the third state in the
Union in the order and amount of
allowances reported by the commit
tee. About one-fifteenth of the
entire bill for the national water
ways goes to those of Oregon or will
be expended entirely in Oregon.
The senate viii, also add to these
figures with other allowances. 1t
was not deemed prudent to insist ON
adding an item for The Dalles boat
ailway, although Mr.. Hermann
moved in the committee an amend
ment to the bill of $500 for COM
mencement of the boat railway, in
order to test the feeling to this en-
terprise.
