that purpose. The committee, having
visited the site of the proposed canal, is
practically unanimous in saying the
latest estimate is far too great, yet
most all the members admit that the
opening of the river is very essential
The committee will repeal the boat
railway proposition that has been pend
ing SO long, but the balance of about
5000, 900 now remaining will not be
converted into the treasury, but will be
allowed to stand as an appropriation
towards canal. 1t is expected that
when the bill passes through the senate
and conference this boat railway bal
ance will be made available for the new
survey and examination.
The committee is making a liberal
allowance for Oregon improvements
generally, and claims that the amounts
appropriated will be sufficient to insure
the continuation of the work for the
next two years. 1t has been decided to
make slightly smaller allowance for
the Columbia than was carried in the
bill which suffered defeat in the last
congress, the committee taking the
position that 5000, 600 is more than can
proitably be used in this time. If
the house does not provide for a con-
tinuing contract at the mouth of the
river, the senate will probably make
this change, so that the initial appro-
priation will be matter Of small con-
sequence. Appropriations for continu-
ing contracts are made each year by the
sundry civil bill,

& Oregon road has rendered necessary
another survey by the Columbia Valley
Company. No construction work has
yet been done, but the survey has been
made and everything will be in readi-
ness for progress when the required
rights across the government reserves
shall be granted. The company is cap
italized at So, ,0O0, 900.
Nothing is given out regarding the
forces behind the Columbia Valley
Railroad organization, but it appears to
be very much alive, and it is not
deemed probable that so much activity
would be manifested unless there was a
serious intent behind it. A line down
the north bank Of the Columbia might
not work to the disadvantage of Port
land, because the bridge to be built at
Vancouver will let trains across to PORT
land without inconvenience. But it
seems to contemplate q harbor at the
mouth Of the Columbia on the north
side OF the river, and much nearer the
sea than Astoria is. It is said that the
Columbia valley enterprise is not re-
lated to any of the present railroad
combinations, but is q wholly independ-
ent venture.

The FILIPINO SCHOOL aoX.

He Learns Very Little About the
United States.
II has been frequently remarked that
the FilipiEos could have no conception
OF the extent and resources OF the uni
ted States or they never would have
been deceived into the haIlucination
that they could successfully combat us.
In going through their school here I
found a little manuscript volume in
which, In less than a hundred manu-
script pages, was comprised all OF syn
tax and geography that was taught the
children here. And 1t must be remem-
bered that Malolos, before the insur-
rection, was an important city In this
part Of the world, and one where the
children would be expected to receive
the average education. Turning to one
OF the pages in this book that picked
up, | found the United States Of Amer
lea discoursed upon, Immediately after
Nigricia, and just before Mexico. Here
is the entire lot OF information given
as to the United States, In the form Of
queSuOnS ana answers:
Where is this country (the United
States) sltuated3 In North America.
What are It's boundariesl To the
north, British America; to the east, the
Atlantic ocean and the Bahama chan
mel; to the south, the Strait of Florida
and the Gulf Of Mexico, and to the
west, Mexico and the Grande (Pacifc)
ocean.
what is the form of government?
1t is federal republic.
''Of what is this republic cOmposed1
OF forty different States.
What are its rivers and mountains?
The most notable rivers are the Mis-
isipi (literal spellinG), the Niagara, the
Missori (again the literal spelling), the
Colorado and the st. Lawrence, and the
principal mountains are the Cumber-
land and Rockies.
What Is the capital! Washington,
but the most important city IL New
York.
Professionalism prevails, but there
are Catholic archbishops."
And this is the sum total OF what

taught about our rather considerable
and somewhat prosperous country
