or other causes
More money is available for the improvement
OF Cowlifz river than ever before IN any single
year. The available funds for this season
amount to $500, making the total appropra-
tion Tor the river $4,000. 1t is the plan of i'm
provement to secure q navigable channel, by
means OIL using dam construction, scraping
ana snagging operations, from the river mouth

work on this river, the engineers say, has been

improvement consists in the removal of snags,

owned by the government passing from one
river to another as occasion requires In this
class OF work, the engineers say, no permanent
results are arrived at or obtained, as the con-
stantly recurring snags and fallen trees will re-

WASHINGTON CITY, July l7-[special. while
congress made no river aud harbor appropris-
tons at the last session, there is money enough
on hand TO carry on this class OF improvements
during this fiscal year, or at least, until con-
gress meets again. The officials OF the engineer
bureau say that it is desirable that larger sums
should be available, still the various projects
can be carried forward, some of them, unfortun-
ately though, only in n small way. This class of
public improvements in Washington has not
received proper recognition. one reason why
the streams OF the state have been so sighted is
that IL is difficult to make the average congress
man believe that great business people
now call Washington home. As a rule, their
