NO MONEY FOR THE BAR.
Chairman Burton Would Cut Out Ap-
preparation For Columbia.

Chairman Burton Would Cut Out Ap.
preparation For Columbia.
Chairman Burton. of the house rivers
and harbors committee, has notified
Senator Fulton that he would oppose
the insertion in the sundry civil bill
that Is TO be passed this session of
any appropriation for continuing I'M
provefnent at the mouth of the Colum-
bia river, or for continuing the con-
struction Of the Dalles- -Cellilo canal.
which has been begun with the present
appropriations.
Burton, contrary to the belief of the
department holds that neither of these
projects is recognized by congress as
continuing contracts; therefore, he will
oppose appropriations for them until
the regular river and harbor bill is
framed next session.
Senator Fulton says an effort will be
made to attach appropriations for the
Dalles improvement, and for the mouth
of the river. when the sundry civil bill
reaches the senare, in the hope that the
items can be retained In conference, for
he regards 1t as vitally important that |
more money should be made available.
so that work can continue throughout
the coming fiscal year on these two i'm
portant projects.

Stranded Steamer Has Not Been
Damaged Since Going Upon
the Beach at 0rford.
DISPATCHES EFFORT FUTILE
weather So Rough Wrecking
Apparatus Could not Be
Placed Aboard Other
Marine News.

The steamer Fulton will not in the
opinion of Captain Levison. Of the
steamer Despatch. suffer any very
great damage because OF stranding at
Port Orford. The Desptch arrived yes
terday from San Francisco, having
stopped at Port Orford for the pur-
pose OF making an effort to float the
stranded steamer. She took from San
Francisco quantiey of wreeking gear,
When the Despatch called at Port
orford the weather ws very severe, and
all attempts on the part of Captain
Levison TO place the gear aboard the
Fulton proved unsuccessful. The De-
spatch was unable to get near enough
the Fulton to permit of the transfer of
the apparatus. and Captain Levison
finally continued on his way up the
coast.
He said yesterday the Fulton was ly-
ing in an easy position on the beach at
Port Orford and that she evidently has
not been damaged to any considerable
extent. He is firmly of the opinion
that the steamer can be fioated without
difficulty when the weather moderates,
and that 1t viii be found she is not
enough to put her out of COM
mission for any great length Of time.
On the return trip of the Despatch she
win probably stop at Oxford and make |
another effort to get the apparatus
aboard the Fulton.

WEATHER is TOO SEVERE.
Transport Dix Remains Bottled Up In
Lower Harbor.

Transport Dix Remains Bottled Up In
Lower Harbor.
The transport Dix is still bottled up
in the lower harbor. and the prospects
for her immediate departure are not
any brighter than was the case several
days ago. The transport Is drawing
more than % feet. and the bar must
be smooth in order to enable vessel Of
this draft to cross without pounding.
The bar pilots are quite as anxious
as the Portland Chamber of Commerce
that the transport should be hastened
on her way, but they are not willing
to accept any desperate chances. A
pilot has been aboard the Dix for sew
eral days and just as soon as the
weather moderates the vessel will be
taken to sea. Yesterday morning an
attempt was made to cross out, but the
bar was altogether too rough.
The Dix has now been in port for
eight days. and the department is be-
coming anxious about her. The delay
was occasioned by her long trip Of 80
hours down the river from Portland,
which caused her to miss good bar.
The weather was very bad last night,
and it seems the transport will be tied
up for an indefinite period.
