Williamson, OF Oregon, and Repre-
sentative Jones, of Washington, who
are working together in the interest OF

about this result If The Dalles canal
is made continuing contract it will be
taken out of the hands Of the rivers and

each year in the sundry civil bill.
1t is agreed that it is mare desirable
to have this project made a continuing

the engineers, namely, $5000OO. If it
will be any inducement, both William
