The DaIIes Portage.

FIom q special correspondence from
Washington City IN relation to the inter-
view of Hoo. o. N. Denny with the Oregon
delegation, published in the Salem States
man yesterday, it is learned that there is
little hope for an appropriation for The
Dalles portage this season. Our senators
and representatives agree on the importance
of this improSe.nent in the navigation OF the
Columbis, and are using their utmost en-
deavors to secure an appropriation for this
project. Senator D1lph's views are given
IN the following excerpt:
"a boat railway can be huilt in half the
time and with half the cost Of canal
Granted that it is an experimental matter
the government can better afford to make
the experiment than any individual. If I
had not had experience with the house con-
ferees, 1 should saw let US stick to boat
railway, but rather than to delay the be-
ginning of so important an Improvement l
would he willing to accept 500, 900 or even
$50 600 for the commencement of canal.
"a portage railway would not give ade-
quate relief. The intention Of the engineers
was that the United States would operate |
such a road and the shippers pay the tolls |
for freight transported. Granting that the
government would do this. no considerable |
freight would pass over this road for the
tolls would be so great that 1t would be no
relief from the present system of transpor-
tation. That special board has left rs in an |
unfortunate position. Their favoring the
canal. gives the boat railway black eye.
Then they wound MP by recommending q
project Of character which the United |
States has never undertaken and never will.
boat railway as substitute for canal is
properly government enterprise, hut the
so.called portage railway 10 simply an ordi.
nary railway such as Is in uss everywhere.
Should the government build one in Oregon.
It would Immediately be flooded with re-
quests for them from every part of the
Union. If Mr.. Hermann can get 1t. how.
sver, will stand up for it. but so far as the
senate is concerned I could easier put in an
amendment for $4,000, 900 for a boat rail-
way than $50. 900 for a portage railway.
Not being on the conference committee,
however. at this session the senate oenferees
would let go such an amendment in less
han three days"
