EFFORT WILL Be MADE TO
GET APPROPRIATION FROM
CONGRESS- FOR BRIDGES
THE COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION
TAKES UP NATTER AT
THORN HOLLOW-MISSION.

Through the Pendleton CONNER
ciai association an effort will be
made TO obtain from congress a suf-
fioient appropriation to secure the
construction OF bridges across the
Umatilla river NJ Thorn Hollow and

CATION at once. FALLING its attention
to the corresp p)ndence already on
file with the indian department rel
at.ve to the bridges and urging the
presentation OF a hill to secure the
needed money.
This action resulted from the dis
ccvery OF the Indian department, aft
er the plans for the bridges had
been drawn and the estimates made.
that there Is not sufficient money in
the tribal fund TO warrant the con-
struction OF the bridges at this time.
Inasmuch as both bridges are very
necessary for :he farmers Of the res
ervation before whcat-hauling season,
the Commercial association decided
to initiate a movement to secure the
money from another source.
An appropriation from congress OF
about $4,000 will be sufficient, ac.
cording to the estimates OF the cost.
The county court has already prom
ised TO contribute one-third to the
cost OF the bridges inasmuch as about
of the farm land on the
reservation has passed into the hands
Of white men and is thus subject to
county taxation.
