paper we find that under date OF January
80, 1886, Hon. Chas. S. Voorhees, then
delegate to congress from Washington,
wrote to Judge Pearson of this county,
stating that in the general appropriation
bill, approved July Z, 1884, the sum of
$l5,500 was appropriated towards build

became OF that appropriation ?-Vidette.

provements OF its waterways; and for a
lighthouse and station to protect its ship
ping interests and the lives and property
OF those engaged in traffic by sea. Now
1T would seem necessary that demand
be made that the appropriations be ex-
pended which have already been made.
