between said committee and the
board, by the terms of which the
board agreed with the committee
that whenever within the period OF
30 days from the execution of the
contract the latter should designate
a responsible construction company
satisfactory to the former, it would
enter into contract with such COM
pany to acquire rights of way, build,
construct and equip a portage railway
between the points mentioned in the
states engineer and turn the same
over to the board ready for operation
for the amount of the states appro-
priation unexpended.
This contract was extended from
time to time at the request of the
committee. On the Sd day of Decem-
Der, 1904, the committee designated
the McCabe Construction Co. to the
board, and after agreeing upon the
terms of the contract and the cost of

1904, and Nelson & White being the
lowest bidders were awarded the con-
tract to build the road for approx
mately 5,523.16. The state is to
furnish the rails and fastenings, and
w. ]. Mariner, Henry Hahn and ]. A.
Smith of the Open River Association,

ment for rails and fastenings, rights
of way, engineering, and all other ex-

Nelson and White have executed a

TENTION TO THE MATTER HAS
BEEN UNREMITTING AND WHOSE
SERVICES BOTH TO HIS CLIENTS
AND THE BOARD HAVE BEEN IN

ABOVE, ARE WILLING TO SACRI-
FICE BUSINESS INTERESTS, TIME

WELFARE.
No one not an active participant
ca appreciate the difficulties that
have beset the board and the Open
River Association in attempting to
harmonize the conflicting interests
of private owners who possessed val
liable fishing interests, the o. r. &
N. Co., with it's right of way, spurs,
and switches, and the authorities OF
the United States in their efforts to
have provided a sufficient right of
about eight or nine miles along a
narrow strip of land bounded on the
one side by the Columbia river and
on the other by precipitous cliffs.
All have made concessions and
some sacrifices, but the work when
completed, will amply repay for all
these.

IT MUST NOT BE OVERLOOKED
THAT WHEN THE PORTAGE
RAILROAD IS COMPLETED, THE
APPROPRIATION WILL BE EX-
HAUSTED, AND FOR A TIME AT
LEAST, 1T CANNOT BE EXPECTED
To BE ELF-SUSTAINING. l
THEREFORE SUGGEST THAT AT
LEAST $4,000 PER ANNUM BE
APPROPRIATED OR so MUCH
THEREOF AS MAY BE NECES-
SARY TO MEET ALL EMERGEN-
CIES AND TO PUT THE ROAD IN
FULL OPERATION AS SOON AS 1T
is TURNED OVER TO THE STATE.
The right of way for the canal has
all been obtained except about three
quarters of an acre owned by I. H.
Taffe for which he insists upon being
paid more than the board thinks Is
reasonable, and for this condemnation
proceedings will have to be instituted.
Abstracts of title have been furnished
the authorities of the United States,
and upon advice of the attorney gen.
eral payments are being made to the
owners. The cost OF the rights of
way including all expenses amount so
far to the sum of $70,349.75, and
there remains to be paid whatever is
awarded to l. II. Taffe for the right of
way yet to be secured from him.
Major w. c. Langfitt and Captain
A. Fries of the United States engineers
have done all in their power to as

sion to publicly thank them on be-
half of both boards for courtesles
shown, and to express the belief that
the canal will soon be an accomplish

heed to their recommendations and
requests.
