F. McDonald ia tbe possessor of
quite a collection of Indian! relics,
whioh be found upon Chehalem moun
tain, in Yamhill, a few days ago, pre
sumably at an old Indian grave. There
are two mortars, a small stone last and
obsidian trinkets, and several flint and
obsidian arrow and spear heads. Mr.
McDonald isn't satisfied with hia find,
and will make another visit to the spot
in search of more relios.
While man waa hunting oowa in
the woods near Nehalem last week, he
found three large circular saws bidden
in the brush near the bank of tbe
river. The general impression ia that
the saws were stolen from a sawmill
at Grand Rapids, on the upper Neha
lem, and brought down the river and
hidden. No saws of that site have
ever been in use on the lower river,
and this seems to be the only plausible
explanation, as It is known that a great
deal of machinery baa been oarriea
away from tbe mill at Grand Rapids.
The caps oity ot the Grand Bonde
Lumber Company's sawmill at Perry,
in Union county, ia considered to be
100,000 feet of lumber per day, but
occasionally this output is exoeeded.
The high water reou?d so far waa that
made on the 83d ultimo, when the to
tal output in 11 hours was 114,000
feet On this day 406 sawloga were
transformed into lumber, and the out
put on that date would be equivalent
to about ten carloads. , -x

NATIONAL FINANCES
Appropriations Authorized
by Congress.
THE TBEASUfiY IS CRITICISED
Joint Statement Marie by Chairman
Cannon and ex-Chairman
Sarree of Texae.
Washington, June 13. Chairman
Cannon, of the appropriations oommit
tee, and ex-Chairman Bayres, today
made public a joint statement concern
ing the expenditures authorized by thia
congress. Total appropriations, in-,
eluding permanent annual appropria
tions, are 1515,769,830. Mr. Cannon's
statement begins:
"The appropriations charged to this
congress include (119,084,160 under
permanent laws, of which amonnt
150,000,000 is for sinking fund and
180,500,000 for interest on the publlo
debt, or 18,855,614.40 more than was
Included at the last session of congress . .
in the statements of appropriations,
and is on aooount of the increase of
1163,815,400 in tbe bonded indebted- -ness
of the oountry by the present ad- ,
ministartion to February, 1895, inter
set and sinking fund ohargea on aooount
of the latter bond issues of $100,000,- ;
000 in February, 1896, amounting to
$4,400,000, not being included in the
estimates of permanent appropriations.
Tbe increase in the prinoipal of the interest-bearing
debt under the present
administration amounts to $263,815,
400, whiob entaila an annual Interest
charge of $11,493,616, and to meet the
sinking fund obligations, the further
snm of $3,633,164.
"The regular annual bills, including
the deficiency bill, as passed by tbe
bouse, made reduction in tbe total
estimates submitted by tbe exeoutive ot.
$36,988,191; they were increased by
the senate $33,920,433, and as they
became laws, they appropriated $10,
686,634 less than at passed by the sen
ate; $13,383,818 more than as they
passed the bouse, and $18,874,873 lest ,
than the estimated requirement! of the
administration.
"The regular appropriations, includ
ing deficiencies, made at the last ses
sion of oongreaa, amounted to $383,
636,896, and it inoluded no river and '
harbor bill. Excluding the river and
harbor act passed at this session, the '
regular annual bills, as passed by tbe '
house, appropriated only $373,570,083,
or more than $10,000,000 less than was
appropriated by the last oongresa. "
Mr. Cannon criticises the treasury
department because it haa expended
$7,877,440 for the present year in col
looting tbe revenues from customs esti- t
mated at $165,000,000.
The billa establishing salaries in- s
itead of tbe fee system tor officers of :
tha United States oonrts, he tayt, will ,
save $1,000,000 annually, and minimize '
frivolous and malioioua prosecution.
Especial attention ia oalled to the fact '
that oongresa made no increase of sal
aries of employes in tbe government de-
partmenta. The following table of ap
propriations is given:
Fifty-first oongresa, $988,117,183.84;
fifty-second congress, $1.027, 124. 547. 93;
fifty-third oongresa, $989,239,305.69; ,
fifty-fourth congress (first session),
$515,759,820.49.
; Mr. Sayres, in his statement, says ot
the total appropriation! of the session:
"This sum exceeds the appropria- '
tions during the last session of tbe '
fifty-third congress by $18,751,899.
and those of tbe first regular session of '
that oongress by $28,623,657.
"It it less than the appropriations
by the teoond session of the fifty-second
oongress by only $3,744,538, although
at the latter session $39,853,494 more '
was appropriated tor pensions than at
thia session. It it more than thoee by '
the first session of the fifty-first oon
gress by $31,303,671, and $25,464,040
less than the appropriations of the sec
ond session of tbe fifty-first oongress.
: , "The appropriations made by the
second session of the fifty-first congress
exceeded those made at the first session '
of the same oongress by $46,676,613, ;
or nearly 10 . per cent It the same '
proportion should be made at the next
session, then the appropriations will
not be less than $565,000,000."
Contracts authorized by this session
he estimates aa follows:
Rivers snd harbors,. $59,616,404; .
public buildings, lighthouse and reve-.
nne-outter service, $1,406,000; defenses
and armament, $4,195,076; new war
ships, $13,900,000; District of Colum
ns. $125,000; total, $78,341,400. . , .
He says the total expenditures in one
fiscal year have never been so great,
except during tbe war, and xoeed the
estimated valuation of property in any
one of the South Atlantic states. .
