Washington, Feb; li In the list of
states to receive attention this yearly
the Government appropriating power,
Oregon will stand high. Every possible
assurance1 that can be given quietly is en
joyed by the Oregon delegation that the
yery urgent work on the Columbia river
will be .continued. ; It I possible that the
War Department in conferring with the
managers in Congress- will interpret this
most urgent need as existing at the mouth
of th river, but ther. is - yet hope in the
determined work of the two Oregorrten
ator for teady work on the Celilo canal
project." These two great project on the
Columbia have been championed early
and late, by all of "ffie northern Oregon,
southern Washington and northern Idaho
interests, with, the result that their de
tails are familiar to all of Congress. -
Senator Fulton is pressing the effort for
a combination dredge on the coast which
would serve all the harbors of that sec
tion. An effort was made to divert him
in favor of a'' Contract . dredging proposi
tion, but he will not yield the plan for
construction- of a dredge for this work
and expresses the hope that he will be
successful this session. Light improve
ment will doubtless be authorized on the
upper Coumbiaand Snake rivers. Con
struction of a light house at Cape Aragao
has been authorized by the senate, under
Senator Fulton's bill, and favorable action
is expected in the House. Ther , is alto
assurancethat th senior Senator will se
cure at this session the money required
for the Federal building at Baker City,
for which a site has been purchased, and
preliminary arrangements made for con
struction. Taken a a whole, the state has fared
well for a bitterly conomic session, and
when final adjournment for the spring is
taken, Oregon will unquestionably have
much to her credit.
