to free transportation there is no doubt
in so far as it affected towns which
can boast of no rivalry between rail-
roads. That the railroad Companies
themselves issued the transportation
to the provincial newspaper men as

them in the way Of support of measures
that might be brought before the state

Made When They are of Interstate or
National Importance.

| According to the letter of John Cal
Ian O'Laughlin of the Chicago Tribune
in Wednesdays paper. the chances of
securing an appropriation for any of
the three harbors proposed for the
Calumet region are very slim. The
following is a part Of his telegram
from Washington.
Washington, D. c., Jan. S.-The total
appropriations for river and harbor
improvements in the bill which will be
reported shortly by Chairman Burton
of the committee having the matter in
charge will amount to between s72,-
100000 and $73,OOO,OOO.
1t will be bill less open to the
charge of protecting the personal in
terests of members Of congress than
any measure of the same character
heretofore reported. 1t will not seek
to make a navigable channel in a
stream which can never be of national
service. 1t is intended to provide for
the Improvement of rivers and har-
bors which play an important part In
interstate and foreign trade. Thus
more than s12,OOO,OoO is to be author
ized for the construction of another
lock for the 500 canal and the con-
struction Of better channel in De-
troit river. The commerce affected by
these projects amounted last year to
5000. 600 tons.
1t is proposed also to provide So
400, 600 for improvement of the Miss
issippi between Cairo and St Louis
to be distributed over a period of four
years. Another large improvement
will be that Of Boston harbor. for
which it is intended to authorize s4.
