FOR CELLO CANAL.
Senate Makes $6l4 900 Available for Carrying
on the improvements.

Washington, April 12.-The senate
commerce committee has dealt very lib
orally with the Upper Columbia river
Senator Turner has secured the adep.
ton of the Harts canal project for over.
coming the obstruction at The Dalles
and Cello, and, aside from the trans.
fer for immediate use of the remaining
$214, 900, the bill authorizes the seere-
tary of war to enter into a contract for
prosecuting the work to the extent Of
$40O, 900 additional, making an ex-
penditure of about 1914, 900.
The senate committee, unlike the
house, was readily convinced that Cap
tain Harts' estimate is not too high
and says that the Improvement is one
of such Importance that it should no
longer be delayed. The amount carried
by the senate bill is sufficient to con-
tinue the work until the next river and
harbor bill is passed, and if it is not
possible at this time to have the work
placed under the continuing contract
system, it is probable this can be done
two years hence, when the work has
got we'll under way. There is reason
to believe that the senate amendment
will be retained in the bill, although
it may be necessary to make a slight
reduction in the expenditure author
lied.
Senator Turner has secured an in
crease in the appropriation for the
Snake river to $4,000, of which
$25, 900 is to be expended above Lewis
ton. For Pend d'Oreille and the Okan-
ogan he secured an increase from $I6,-
900 to $25, 200. The Tacoma harbor
was increased from $75,-
600 to $500, 900. New Whatcom gets
$40, 900 instead of $25 200 allowed by
the house. The appropriation for Pu
get Sound is increased from SIS, 900 to
$40, 900, with $500 additional for
the removal of log jam in the Nook
sack. The approp, iation for the mouth
Of the Columbia remains the same as
in the house bill.

MEAT FAMINE IN ENGLAND,
Retailers Determined that Consumers Shall be
Made to Suffer.

London, April 15--The so-called
meat famine, which has been exploited
throughout the British press, has be-
come matter of keen interest to Lon
doners, who hitherto have not been
affected by the prevailing scarcity. A
careful canvass of London shows that
the retailers at the present time are the
sole sufferers by the advance in the
wholesale price, whicn amounts to a
penny per pound on all grades OF meat.
Since January, the majority of the re-
tailers have been running their busi-
ness without profit, because lack of or
ganization prevented a uniform in
crease of prices. A meeting, however,
has been called, which undoubtedly
will result in uniform increase in the
price of meat on the part of retailers
throughout London.
