Representative Cooper, Of Wiscon-

improvement of the Columbia and
Snake Rivers and especially the
locks of Cello, and feels that the
northwest has been recognized in
fair degree in the rivers and har-

also able to have an amendment
included, providing for the sur

looking to improvements by the
Federal Government. This river
was examined nearly 80 years ago
by the Government and since that
time no attention whatever has
been paid to it though Mr.. French
is advised that there would be
much business if the river could
be improved.
