Paris, S ep t 13.—-The evacua

previously reported in news dis

today.
Washington, Sept
12—The
modified river and harbor bill, as
agreed on today by the Senate
commerce committee, carries a
cash appropriation of $1,000,000
for the mouth of the Columbia
River and a continuing contract
authorization of $1,500,000 ad
ditional. This is a ¡reduction of
$2.600,000 in the continuing con
tract provision. All the other
Northwestern items remain as
they were in the bill when it was
first reported to the Senate June
18.
The passage of the bill as this
telegram indicates will carry the
appropriation for the Siuslaw
river.
There is still serious question
about the passage of the modifi
ed bill, however, since practically
all the cuts made were in con
