Northwest Receives -s2,926,l75 for
River and HaTbM Work.

Cello Canal Deferred.

Washington, d. Cone million five
hundred thousand dollars has been al
lotted by the secretary Of war to con-
tinue work on the north jetty at the
mouth of the Columbia river during
the II. months ending June 80, 1916.
This is within $3.50, 900 of the
amount that would have been appro-
priated had the rivers and harbors bill
been passed as it was repuorted to the
senate and 1886, 900 greater than the
amount proposed to be appropriated by
the house. Furthermore, this allot-
ment is the largest made out of the
$50, 600, 900 lump appropriation, ex-
cept the allotments for the Mississippi
and Ohio rivers.
The total amount allotted by Secre-
tary Garrison for Oregon and Wash
ington is 81, 926, 175, or within $685.
500 of the amount carried by the rivers
and harbors bill when it failed. Some
Oregon projects will receive the same
amount provided by the bill, and in all
instances the amount allotted to these
projects is higher proportionately than
the average for the entire country.
The only important project for which
no allotment was made and for which
an appropriation was proposed is the
Cello canal, and this was left out be-
cause the $4,000 first recommended
was for finishing touches, which can
be put on later.
