The self-explanatory letters, which are published below, were received this -inorning from Senator Mitchell. They -mre especially acceptable just at this time and convey the information that of the $179,000 appropriation in the sundry civil bill, $20,000 will be available for building the inner walls that are neces eary before the locks operate. The pro -vision referred to has passed the senate since Senator Mitchell's letter was -written and will go to a conference com mittee from the two houses. The news is reassuring and with our hopes revived , somen hat, we will await further de velopments : Washington, D. C., April 23. 1896 JSditor Chronicle, The ballet. Or. My Dbab Sib: In response to a com munication from Hons. J. H. D. Gray W. L. Bradshaw and A. S. Mac Alliater, I have just written them a letter, one . cooy of which I sent to Astoria and the ether to The Dalles, bearing upon the situation at the canal and locks, as I un derstand it. I aiao send you a copy. Yours sincerely, John H. Mitchetl, Washington, D. C. April 23, 1896, Hons. J. II. V. Gray; W. L. Bradshaw and A. S. Mac AUister, Astoria, Ur: Gentlemen : I hasten to acknowl edge receipt of yours April 15, inclosing one to yea oi aate aprn i irom iapiuiu W. L.'Fiek, corps of engineers, U.S. army. I will explain matters as briefly and as fully as I can. Abont the middle of March the atten tion of the Oreeon delegation was called to. the fact that semething mast be done by congress immediately to facilitate the early opening or the canal ana Jocks at the Cascades. I immediately consulted with the chief of engineers for the pur pose of ascertaining precisely what was ' necessary to be done by congresB, if any- . thing, to insure their early opening. was advised that there were between forty and fifty thousand dollars balance appropriated enexpended and was as eared, as was the whole delegation, that if a sum not exceeding $20,000 of this amount eonld be made available imme diately in constructing on the land and river sides of the canal between the Tipper lock gate masonry and the upper guard gate masonry such portions of the walls proposed by. the modified project presented by the board of engineers in its report of October 18, 1894, which re port was printed in the annual report of the chief of engineers for the year 1895, part V, pp. 3576 and following, as mat be necessary to construct in advance of the opening of the canal to commerce, that then all work necessary to the . opening of the locks could he completed inside of a month and the canal and locks opened. At this same time one of the contractors, Mr. I. N. Day, was in Washington, and in the presence of the chief of engineers, after hearing the en gineer s statement, coincided in that view of the case. I then acked the chiel of engineers to prepare a joint resolution covering the case and my colleagues and . J. would get it through the two houses l possible, and as soon as possible. The resolution was prepared by the chief of engineers and sent to me, which 1 intro duced, and Senator McBride and I took hold of the matter at once and promptly passed it through the senate. The reso lotion then went to the house where some delav occurred in getting it np occasioned by the speaker of the house postponing it for other matters. It finally passed the house some two week." after it passed the senate and was signed by the president on the 6th of April - See copy inclosed. Scarcely had the resolution become a Jaw when we were advised that the forty or fifty thousand dollars unexpended balance at the date the resolution was presented to the senate had been used up, leaving nothing for the resolution to tack to. As the sundry civil bill however, which has passed the honse. contains an appropriation of $179,597 for continuing the improvement 'at the Cae cades, I immediately went before the appropriation committee of the senate and bad incorporated in substance and effect as an amendment to that bill the resolution heretofore passed setting $20,000 of this $179,597, for the purpose ot completing these walls, the comple tion of which we were assured both by the engineer department and the con tractors, through Mr. I. N. Day, would enable the locks to be opened to com merce without delay. 1 send you today . a copy of the sundry civil bill. The ap- : propriation and amendment I refer to are on pages 84 and 85: that printed in italics is my amendment put on in the senate committee. This bill has now been reported to the senate and will come up for considera tion and will pass the senate and go into conference within the next ten days. Just how soon it may become a law of course it is impossible to tell, but I Should say some time between the 10th and 15th of May at latest; probably not later than the 6th of May. We have no . doubt whatever of being able to hold this provision in the bill. As soon as . the bill become a Jaw, therefore, the en - gineers and contractors will have all the money at their command, which they each assured us was necessary in order ' to open the locks to commerce. In addition to this, the river and harbor bill, which has passed the house, is now under consideration in the senate committee of commerce, of which my colleague. Senator McBride, is a mem ber, and this same matter as to the ap- ' propriations necessary to the speedy ' opening of this work is receiving his careful consideration and attention, and some further appropriation and provi sions looking to that, and will, I have ' no donbt.be incorporated in the river and harbor bill when it comes from the . committee. I can assure you there has been no dereliction upon the part of the delegation in either house in doing their ' 'duty and in doing it promptly, in regard to this whole matter. We -can only . move in these matters, of course, in ac cordance with the recommendation of the engineers, and whenever the engi neers have required money we have ' promptly given it in the manner de- sired. You can rest assured, and can bo as sure the people interested, we will leave no stone uniurnea to eeuure iun opening of the canal, and locks at the Cascades. Very respectfully, John H. Mitchell. Crazed Oyer Her Boy's Death. It is reported that Mrs. Daffron, mother of the boy killed at Umatilla, has become crazed over the event. The storv Is told that she was sick in bed and prostrated with grief at the time of the funeral, but insisted on arising fnllnwincp her bov to the grave. and The doctor's advice was powerless to prevent her intention, and it was considered wiser to allow her to follow her inclina tion than to Drevent her doing so She arose and dressed, but the sight of the hearse was too much for her mind the weakened condition she was in, and her reason deserted her. The husband, nlan. ia now confined to his bed.. This was the second child lost by the Daf fron's, the former death nearly resulting in Mrs. Daffron's loss of reason. Mt. Hood Hose Co. Meeting.
