CONGRESS OF II SPENDS BILLION AND HALFDOLLARS Although $1,626,439,209 Appro priated It Is Not Considodod Wastoful Session PREPAREDNESS IS BIG ITEM Very Little Increase In Expenditures When Army and Nevy Pro gram Is Eliminated Washington, Sept. 10, Much care loss talk has been indulged in ns to tho appropriations of tho session of congress Just ended. As a largo shar-j of this originated in congress the press of tlio country has In many cases been misled. Chief among the doluslons in the headlines Is the statement that ap propriations aro near two billion dol lars, or that this has been a "two-blllon dollar session,'' Authoritative statements concerning ppproprlntlosis havo been made to Chairman FJerald of tho house ap propriations . commlttco, a Democrat and. by Representative Qlllett, ranking member of that committed on tho Re publican side. Their figures agree so there can bo no dispute as to the facts. Tho grand total of tho appropriation Is $1,626,439,209, compared with 1, 114,937,012 for the fiscal year 1916 an increase of 1517,537,197. ' Better yet for the purpose ot still ing partisan controversy and misrep resentation, is the act that both Fitz- goralil and Glllott, the highest Demo cratic and Republican authorities on appropriations, agrco as to tho sums that should be assigned to the expense of preparedness. They submitted tables showing that the amount is $685,709, 823, compared with $271,399,497 for the previous year, an Increase in money sot aside for army and navy, including the $20,000,000 for a nitrate plant,, cpv ered by a bond lssuo of $414,310,326 As tho total Increase in appropria tions over last year is $517,537,197. and , tho Increased cost of proparcdnoss was ' $414,310,326, any person "with a pencil can readily dotirmlno that the increase for expenses other than preparedness amounted to $103,228,871. For what Is this $103,226,871 to be spent? Almost halt ot it, $50,100,000 and that covered by an Issue of Pan ama .bonds, goes to- the creation of a merchant marine and development ot an auxiliary naval force under the new shipping bllL The Alaskan railroad takes over $8,000,000' more, expendi tures for the first, year under tho good roads act $6,000,000, establishment ot thenrura.l credits eystep ($0,200,000 .Increased.- amount for improvement ot rivers and 'harbors almost $10,600,000. ' Th,U .accpunts for $81,000,000, leav ing. $22,000,000, lnpreaso , for piih' pur: poaos as the expenses of the new tariff) Workmen's compoiisaOon "and eight hour commissions, expense ot collecting the income: tax", Improve; ment'B in, postofilco buildings In some of the big cltlos, and normal increase In governmental exponso, comprised in thousands, pt miscellaneous, itonjs. In this list he named $7,448,000 for new postofflcoB, customhouses, other public buildings and Improvements $775,000 furniture for buildings, $3, 500,000 for continuing tho valuation ot railroads, $8,884,000 for continuing work on reclamation projects ,$6,000, 000, for aid to road building and for national forest roads, $0,100,000, for rural .credits, $50,100,000 for develop ment ot merchant marlno and ' navy auxiliary, and tho $10,000,000 odd In crease in river and harbor improve ments. This eminent Ropubllca,n authority in suggesting where retrenchment might havo boon mado to prevent such "extra vnganco" would- havo cut off or roducod tho monoy thnt is to bo spont for reclamation, for construction of roads, for ostabltshtng tho rural credit system, for building the Alaskan railroad, and other like purposos, In eluding, of courso, tho dropping of the shipping bill.

The steamer Congress, which burned off Coos bay Thursday, was brought safely into Coos bay this afternoon and salvage will represent about 35 per cent of tho total value. A big crowd was at the beach to witness the incoming of the vessel. The Congress was tho larg est vessel that ever crossed the Coo bay bar. She came in without a bitch, but after reaching the lower nay the bow swung around and stuck in tho sand flat, but was soon pulled out and the boat started up the bay. The Congress has been anchored at a point opposite and. below Empire In, deep, water. A piledriver was ready and boom sticks; provided by. tke,.SHilth-PoWers .Logging company so that they cnuld be arranged around thf big ship while she remains la pore tor temporary re pairs. Sight Was. Interesting The sight of bringing' in the vessel was an Interesting ode. The wreck ing tug Salvor, which came up from the ateemer Bear, the tug Tyee of Puget Sound, the tug Oneonta of Co lumbia, river and the tug Oleanor ot ITmnm-a rlttpr all nftRlftf erl. .-stMm- trom the: Salvor- was con ducted to the Congress by means of steam hose so that the oil could be pumped to her engines. Much of the waterin the hold was pumped out, so there was but slight list Smoke came out ot one ot the ble funnels and before the start for the Dar wng ma,le the steamer whistled h. time,. Th Cmcro enrines were not ODOrated. Towinc was the Giennor ahead and next the Oneonta, Back of the Concress was tho Tvee. Iiq Salvor remained outside. There was no difficulty at all bring ing In tho Congress after her anchor chain was slipped. She rode nicely on the water and made the turn Into the bay without any trouble. Tho turn which caused her bow to go on tho sand was accidental and tho delay was short Tho Congress looked like a big steel building which, had been gutted by flro. The paint on hor sides .caroo off In' great", patches, .apjparntly .every tiding wood' jOn .the" veseL..was con sumed by .the, fla'mesv.

The stilp presented a wlerd appear ance with, smoke still emerging from tho bow and stern and with tho heavy smpko frpm tho.bjg smokestacks. The stearlng gear of the Congress, will bo ropalred anil a temporary deck will be built In probably a week or 10 days the vessel will be ready to proceed under her own steam with a convoy to a larger port, where she can bo rebuilt. Likely she will be taken to Puget sound. All ot the tugs but the Oneonta tug will probably remain to convoy the Congress. Coburg Store Robbers Abandon Auto Tho Ford automobile which was stolen trom Fred Langley ot Sllverton, by convicts who escaped from the state penitentiary at Salem about two months ago, has been rocovored at tho bottom ot Canyon Crook canyon about six miles south ot Canyonvlllo.

Kesfey'a'nd We I by Stevens Aid In Investigating Wreck O. B. Kcssoy and Wclc-y Stevens of city, constituted tho two disinterested members of tho board of Inquiry called to Investigate tho derailment of mixed train number 97 at terminal number 11 on the Oakrldgo branch on September 7th, 191C, It Is the policy of the Southern Pa cific company to give publicity to wrecks and accidents rather than to try to cover up such facts. Tho board of inquiry Is composed of officers from three departments of tho company and of two disinterested persons. Division Superintendent, F. L. Bucbhalter ap pointed Mr. Kessey and Mr, Stevens on this board, and they accompanied the others on an inspection tour last Wednesday night Tho findings have just been .made public. An excerpt follows. "This board finds that Engineer W. E. Everton and Conductor E. Snyder are responsible for tho derailment, ac count having exceeded the speed re striction ot 15 miles per hour, which applies between Lawler and Oakrldge under current time table No. 91. Had this restricted speed of 15 miles per hour been observed, than coad have been brought to stop before derailment occurred. The value of the three head of cattle killed Is placed at $75, and the damage to the car and the track caused by tfee derailment" suffered damage to the ex tent of 19.00.

The principal reason assigned to the situation by local officials is that Oregon Is an importing rather than an exporting state, and that the cars all go, out load- ed but very few full ones return. The theory of the transportation companies seems to be, "A load both ways," an since not much material' is imparted into the state, empties would have to be sent in, and the. railroad companies do not like to ship, empty cars, 1 J.
