FOR AN OPEN RIVER.
Only Twenty Thousand Dollars More
Needed for the Portage Road.

Only Twenty Thousand Dollars More
Needed for the Portage Road.
Twenty thousand dollars are re-
quired to insure. the opening of the
Columbia river from Priest rapids,
so miles above Pasco, Wash, to
its mouth. J. L. Babcock, Of Ar
lington, Ore, a director of the OPP
ell River association, is in Spokane
this week to secure Spokane coun-
TVS proportion of the money to be
raised.
The association proposes to OPP
ell the river by building a portage
railroad around the rapids from
-elilo, Oregon, to the Big Eddy
three miles above The Dalles. The
road will be seven miles long and is
estimated to cost S2o5,ooo. The
Oregon Legislature appropriated
$I65, 900 for building the road two
years ago
A portage road commission was
appointed by the Oregon executive,
but it has steadily refused to under
take the work because it did not
have enough money on hand to
complete it. The Open River as
ISOLATION has promised to raise the
additional $4,000 and the state
board has agreed to turn the $I65,
900 over to it when the $40, 900
shall be held in escrow.
The association is formed of bus
mess men, farmers and shippers
whose businesses are tributary or
in the districts to be directly bene-
flied by the proposed opening of
the river to tide water for practical
purposes. 1t was organized at The
Dalles last May. Since starting
with the work the association has
secured tight of way for the port
age road its entire length and will
have its working survey completed
in two weeks.
Mr.. Blalock says the association
has already secured pledges for
$40, 900 of the money and many of
the counties have not been visited
yet. The agreement of the assoc
iation with the portage board re-
quires that the state own and oper-
ate the road after it is built The
freight is to be hauled over the road
at cost and it is estimated there
will be net saving of three to FIVE
cents a bushel to the raisers of
wheat.
Walla Wal!a county will raise
$1,000 Of this fund.

RAILROAD OFFICIALS COMING.

EenneWick,

kenneWlck.
A press dispatch contains the
following information which is of
interest to our readers.
General Passenger Agent A..
M. Cleland of the Northern Pacific
has introduced an innovation in the
administration of his Office by ar
ranging "an education and inspect
ion trip" for all the Northern Pac-
ific eastern passenger agents and
emigration representatives, which
will take them over the main line
and through the westerly territory
served by the company. A splen-
did train left St. Paul. They will
stop at Butte, Spokane, Walla Wal
la, Kennewick, Yakima, Ellens-
burg, Seattle, Tacoma, Victoria,
Vancouver, Everett and Pendleton.
They will also visit some of the
smaller cities i'll Oregon and Wash
ington.
The trip arranged for the agents
is largely for the purpose of ac-
quainting them with the resources,
capabilities and opportunities Of
the western country, that they may
be better equipped to assist the
company in settling the west with
substantial class of people,"

PRELIMINARY STEPS
APPOINTMENT OF COMMISSION TO
CONDEMN LAND.
Proposed Office Building for Use of
United States Senate-Lot
Owners Summoned.

The preliminary steps for the appoint
ment Of the commission which is to take
charge OF the condemnation Of square $50
as a site for the new Senate office building
were taken this morning, when Mr.. Will
liam Fry White, special assistant to the
district attorney, in charge Of the proceed
fngs, laid before Justice Barnard the names
of several gentlemen the government sug-
gests as members Of the commission. All
OF the property-owne in the square, some
17S in number, had been summoned to ap-
pear before Justice Barnard this morning
for the purpose of hearing the matter Of
the appointment of the commission. The
attorneys representing the property-own-
ers were out in full force. Mr.. White first
made statement of the case to the court,
and after securing Justice Barnards sig
nature to an order appointing a stenogra-
pher for the commission presented list
of names of five prominent citizens Of the
District, from among whom the commits
sion of three might be appointed. Mr..
White stated that he had drafted copies Of
form of instruction, such had prevail
ed In the case of similar condemnation pro-
ceedings, which he desired to present to
the court and to the attorneys for the
property-holders for their consideration
and approval.
Subject Discussed by Attorneys.
MT. Wnlte also said that there might be
some objection to some of the paragraphs
of the instructions, and also to some of the
gentlemen he had suggested as members
of the commission, and in order to facili-
tate the business of the court he suggested
that an adjournment be taken until to-
morrow afternoon, in order that the attor-
neys interested might have opportunity to
examine the instructions and formulate
their objections thereto if there should be
any objection. Before the court could take
action on this motion, however several of
the attorneys present addressed the bench
and presented names they desired to be
considered in the makeup Of the commits
sion.
Objection was made to some of the names
presented by the government on the ground
that the members suggested were prop
erty-holders, trustees for property or had
other disqualifying. status in the eyes Of
the various counsel. The substitute names
were all presented to Justice Barnard in
written form.
The court announced that 1t was appar
ent that the attorneys present should have
ample opportunity to consider the form of
instructions offered by the special attorney
for the government, and consequently an
adjournment of the proceedings was Or
dered until l o'clock tomorrow afternoon,
when the court will announce the person.
