(Special) If Congress is Inclined to deal liberally with the Important waterway of the country In framing aud paw tug the river and harbor bill this session, the Columbia and Wil lamette Rivera wilt fare exceptional ly well, tor the estimates of the Ar my Engineers have been favorable to most of the Northwestern projects. The various estimates have heretofore been given, but the annual report of the chief of engineers contains much matter not previously made public. In that report he discusses all of the Northwestern projects, reciting the work done and expenditures made in the past and the needs of the future. The report has this to say with ref erence to the new canal project al Oregon City: 'The river and harbor act of June 25, mo, appropriating $300,000 for the purpose of the existing locks, or for the purchase of the necessary land and the construction of a new canal and locks.

"A recommendation made February 10, 1912, that the United States offer to the present owners the sum of $375,000 for the locks, canal, and right of way on the west side, was approv ed by the Secretary of War, under date of February 15, 1912.

COLONEL AND TAFT SCORED IN SENATE WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. Asserting that the "powerful unrestrained and corrupt encroachments of coniuiued wealth'' have corrupted the voters' franchise, Senator Works, Republican, of California, today told the Senate he favored a single presidential term, and prohibition against reelection. The California Senator excorred Roosevelt and the Progressive party and condemned both the Colonel and Taft for "degrading, contemptible and disrespectful" wrangles In the campaign. The harvester trust, he said, was not prosecuted on Roose velt's order. "The new Progressive party wa tainted in the very beginning by put ting itself in the hands of the Inter ests," said the Senator. "It was man aged and financed by promoters, cor ruptionists and trust magnates. Mon ey was contributed to secure election of the man who. If elected, would be entrusted with the power of de- j termining conclusively whether they ' would be prosecuted or not. j ny a rote or 14 to 4 tt adopted a reso lution declaring against mob violence and for the Impartial enforcement of the law. The four Governors who opposed the resolution declared themselves as voted "no" because they thought they bad no right to reprimand a col league. , Governor Blease himself, the target of the attack, hotly defended his con viction, snapped his fingers in the faces of his colleagues, told them to "go to it" declared he cared not a whit what the conference said thought, did or did not do, and an nounced that all the resolutions they might ever adopt would neither keep him from the Governor's chair nor from a seat In the United States Sen ate in 1915, or earlier. Four times within as many hours, he asserted, his life had been threat ened because of his utterance, but this appealed to him as little as the resolution. The four threatening letters Gov ernor Blease received were all anony mous.' One was mailed In Richmond, another in Washington, the third In Louisville and the fourth iu Pittsburg. The Washington writer told him he would pay the penalty if he ever came to that city. The Pittsburg writer said: "You will be taken to account on sight for your words." The Rich niona ana Louisville missives were unprintable. Governor Blease was taken to task !jy a dozen governors. Governor Car ey, of Wyoming, denounced him for "claiming a monopoly for South Car olina of the respect of the white man for women." Governor Hadley of Missouri, de clared that the floor of the conference hall was not a clearing-house for "lo- Mont-elect Wilson with William Jen nings Bryan came to be made was told today. j It seems that Just before Mr. Wil son a departure from Princeton and j while he was keeping his destination I secret In order to avoid callers, word j came to Mr. Bryan that Mr. Wilson I was going to Florida. It hapjiened that Mr. Bryan already had made plans 10 visit Miami and In writing the President-elect, casually mention ed the fact and adding that he might drop in on .the nexf President some day If the latter happened to locate nearby. The letter was not received by Mr. Wilson until after he had arrived at Hamilton. In reply be said he would be pleased to meet Mr. Bryan when he returned to the United States. This Is the exteut of the correspondence on that subject between the two Demo cratic leader since the election. The president-elect is not permitting himself to be troubled by the faction al difference affecting his admlnlstra I tlon. "I know that there have been all sorts of criss crosses. ' he said today, "but there I not going to be any trou ble. Why. It would be downright stu pidity to start trouble in the present state of things and those who expect it are" going to be fooled, aud badly fooled, too.''

COLONEL MAKES VIGOROUS AT TACK ON SUPREME COURT OF IDAHO al, the same objection probably would apply to the coastwise shipping In view of the probable Impossibility of framing regulation that would not result in a preterance to American shipping." In addition to supporting these points by long arguments. Sir Edward indicates clearly that strong resist ance will be offered to any attempt to exclude from the canal British ships owned by Canadian railroads or whose owners may be guilty of violat ing tho Sherman anti-trust act. He holds that this section of the act cannot apply to British shipping, but only to l ulled Stutes vessels. He indicates that underlying the objection to the exemption from toll of American coastwise ships Is an apprehension that In the future the principle might be extended to cover American ships In tbe foreign trade.
