SENATOR MITCHELL Is HONEST.
He Refuses to Join the Malicious DoIph
in Attacking Allen.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 25-[Special. II am
willing to frankly state that both senators Allen
aud Squire have done everything in their power
to aid myself aud colleague in securing appro-
priatlons Tor the Improvement OF the Columbia
river" Senator Mitchell made this emphatic
statement to the Observation-Disclosures CORE
spondent today. Senator squire was with Sena-
tor Mitchell when he gave vent to this ex-
preston. 81 will add" continued Senator
Mitchell, "that senator Allen since he has been
in the senate has always stood by us in sup
porting measures for the improvement o all the
waterways on the Pacific Northwest. He has
not only done this when measures OF this kind
were pending on the floor of the senate. but
also in committee. / have only words of praise
for either Allen or Squire in connection with
giving us their support Tor not only the Column
bia river appropriation, but for all other i'm
provements that were of inestimable benefit TO
Washington and Oregon as we'll"
The topic was brought up for discussion by
the PosT-INTELLIGENCER correspondent and
Senator squire for the reason that newspapers
in the Pacific Northwest that are unfriendlv to
Senator Allen have been recently claiming that
Senator DoiDh has asserted that Senator Allen
did not give hearty support 10 the Oregon seua-
tors IN trying to fncrease the Columbia appro-
priation. That old letter to ex-Gov. Moore of
last spring has been used again in endeavor
to mislead people into thinking that Senator
ship canal to the detriment of the Columbia
river and other waterway improvements of like
nature. To show that Senator Do,,h does not
hold to this claim it is only necessary to quote
his statement made at that time, that he did
not charge anything OF the kind.
In substance Senator Doiph asserted that
what he said to Moore and the impression he in
tended TO convey was that he considered the
Columbia river Improvements OF vastly moro
importance than the Lake Washington canal,
and thought Tor the present that the Washing
ton senators should confine their attention to
the Columbia river. He added that he had rea-
son to believe that both the Washington sena-
tors were heartily in favor of the improvement
OF the Columbia, but they seemed to believe that
the improvement OF that great waterway would
be of more interest to Oregon than Washington.
Continuing. Dolph said he had no disrositionto
complain Of the Washington senators, or reason
to do so, and his only object i'll talking to ex-
Gov. Moore on the subject was to show that he
considered the Columbia river improvement of
greater Importance than the ship canal, aud he
hoped the Washington senators would bend all
their energies in this direction.

ABOUT TOBACCO.
A ST. PauI Manufacturer Asks
Some Questions.

Mr.. Joseph Marsden, commits
sioner of agriculture, has received
letter from Mr.. G. F. Kuhles, o.
the firm of Kuhles 81 Stock, tobac.
conists of St. Paul, Mimi, making
inquiries about the prospects of the
tobacco industry in Hawaii. The
following is a portion of Mr.. Kuhle's
letter:
81 have read your article on to-
bacco in the Planters Monthly, for
December, 1892. Could you send
me hand of the tobacco raised
in Hawaii, as / would like to ex-
anime it. l have no doubt that
tobacco raising can be made a sue.
cess in the islands if done in the
right way by experienced growers.
1t is a science and takes lots of
work to grow a good crop.
cit is my idea that ! similar
tobacco to the Sumatra, which is
used largely for wrappers in this
country and brings from $3.50 to
50 a pound in bond might be
raised proftably in Hawaii. I
should think also that something
like the Havana which is used
mainly as filters and brings in
Havana from 30 to 80 cents and
from so cents up for wrapper lots
might also be raised there"
Mr.. Kuhles further states that if
he can get favorable information
on the question he will probably
visit Hawaii soon to make investi-
cations preparatory to locating a
branch factory here, or prelimin-
airy to making large importations
from Hawaii to his factory at St.
Paul.
In connection with the matter
Commissioner Marsdep states that
last fall he distributed seed of
Sumatra tobacco to different per-
sons here for planting, and re-
quests that reports be forwarded
to him together with samples of
the tobacco grown, if any.
