SURVEYED
At GOOSE ISLAND
is THoUHGT RUMoRED LINE
WILL CONNECT WITH COAST
LINE AT WALLA WALLA.

Holly Sloan and John Gebbart, con-
nected with the AA1 Mining Company
Of the upper Snake river country,
spent two or three days in Asotin
this week, says the Sentinel. Mr..
Sloan brings out the information
that crew of surveyors, in the SER
vice of the Pittsburg & Gilmore line,
better known as the Salmon river
road, during the past month survey
ed bridge site across the Snake
at Wild Goose island, and also took
soundings of the same. Their work
of Snake river until the mouth of the
Grande Ronde was reached, when a
Y was run up the Grande Ronde on
the south side of that stream. This
bit of news rather sets in motion u
train of thought which would figure
out that line will be run down this
way, also another line up the Grande
Ronde, toward Walla Walla, apparent
ly with the intention of connecting
with the North Coast line, which is
thought to be working in this direct,
ion with the purpose of connecting
with the Salmon river road. This
information is significant in itself,
and it may mean considerable, and
1t may mean but little. Anyway, it
will start anew the agitation of rail
road construction, It has been KNOW
some time, at least ever since the
Pittsburg & Gilmore line has been
associated with the North Coast line,
that it would have to cross the Snake
some where, but this is the first in
formation given out of a survey Of
the river being made, and the first
information that would indicate that
a line might be run down the Snake
tol Asotin and Charleston.

SENATORS TO ASK
GOVERNMENT AID
SENATORS BOURNE AND CHAM
eERLAIN TO ASK $156,ooo
APPROPRIATION.

Portland, Oregon, October 23.-
What is regarded as the most i'm
portant conference ever held between
the Congressional delegation of this
state and the commercial interests of
Portland took place this week when
the needs of the state were discuss
ed for two hours and suggestions
made as to needed improvements that
require government aid.
Senators Bourne and Chamberlain
met with 15 prominent business men
and when the conference ended the
Senators had pledged their aid to
secure as big appropriations as pos
sible for this state. Among the big
projects for which aid was enlisted
were the improvement of the Column
bia River from Portland to the sea;
The free canal and locks at Oregon
CITY; the Cello Canal and the i'm
provement of Goes Bay.
These improvements are expected
TO cost about as follows: Columbia
River Improvement, $15,OOO,O ,OOo $3,-
100000 for the completion of the
Cello Canal; $2,7OO,OOO for the i'm
provement of Coos Bay, and $456,O00
for the free canal and locks at Oregon
City. OF the money needed for the
latter project, the state has already
authorized appropriation Of $30OO,OOO,
leaving only $156,O0O to be furnished
by the government.
Portland may take in neighboring
suburbs before the census of next
year is taken. The matter was dis
cussed by the Realty Board at the
Commercial club this week and gener-
ally favored. This addition to the city
would include only those districts ly-
ing so near that it is impossible to
tell when passing from the city prop
er to the suburbs. An expression
will be asked from the various dis
tricts as to their opinion on the an
nexation question.
