River and Harbor BUI Give Almost
All Northwest Asked.
Washington, Feb. 15.Never before
In the history of rivers and harbors Icc-
islutlon has any congress dealt bo liber
ally with tho Pacific Northwest as tho
present congress will do in the pending
river and harbor bill. Not only is tho
aggregate appropriation larger than
over before, but tho appropriations
more nearly nppoximato the estimates
of tho engineers. This Is in n very
Inrgo measure duo to tho remarkably
elllclent work of Kcprcsentativo Jones,
of Washington, who is on tho river and
harbor committeo as repesontativo of
IiH own and nolahbor uir Btntea. Mr.
Joint was in a position to do things,
anil ins accompHshmcntH epeik for
thomsolvcs. Indeed tho houso has
been so very liberal that tho senate has
nothing left to do, unless it be to ralso
a few appropriations that fall bolow
tile house figures, and it is doubtful if
many such Increases can bo secured,
for In cvety instance whero tho house
cut tho estimates on Oregon and Wash
ington projects it was for some specific
and very good reason.
In his work in committeo Mi. Jones
had tho active support of Senator Ful
ton, and tho Oregon senator did every
thing that a man not a member of tho
committee could do to aid in gottini!
liberal recognition for Oregon and Co
lumbia rlvor projects. There was ab
solute harmony throughout, and tho
two men worked together to a common
end.
Tho effectiveness of Mr. Jones' work
is found in tho figures thomsolvcs. The
total amount recommended by tho on
gineeis for Oregon nnd Washington
projects was $5,110,244; tho total ap
propriation carried by tho house bill Ih
4,070,1M4, a difference of 440,000.
Tho reductions were on tho Celilo ca
nal, f 160,000 boing taken from tho
amount recommended and givon to tho
upper river, for which a now project
was rccommontlttl Into In December; on
tho Willamette and Columbia rivers
below Portland, where fl60,000 was
deducted because Portland business
mon had nssuied tho committeo that a
now taxation district was to bu formed
to raise money to aid in tills improve
moot; and tho Cascade locks on tho
Columbia river, where 1105,000 was
recominondod for grading and filling in
behind the completed locks, Tho com
mittee foil that this work was not urg
ent, as tho canal lock is itself com
pleted.
With these exceptions, the houso bill
provides tho amounts recommended by
tho engineers, and in tho caso of Co
qtilllo river tho committeo appropriates
$00,000 when only 40,000 was asked
by tho War dopaitmcnt. Tho $00,000
will complete this project, us shown by
tho figures of the local engineers, so tho
committeo decided to clear up tho
wholo matter at one tlmo.
The following table gives 'tho various
projects and tho amounts appropriated
by tho houso bill:
Mouth of Columbia river, $2,4n0,.
244; Dalles-Colilo canal, $000,000;
rivors, Portland to sea, $300,000; Co
lumbia between Celilo and mouth of
Snako river, $120,000; TIppor Colum
bia, between Wonatcheo and Bridge
port, $42,000; Upper Columbia and
Snako, $10,000; Coqtiillo river, $00,.

tributaries (dredging) $75,000; Luko

MAKE SHIPPERS PAY

COLLISION DURING BLIZZARD
Committees Working on New Tariffs
Which Abolish Commodity Rates
and Make Advances.
Chicago, Fob. 14u Ballroads of tho
entire country are preparing to inako
general increases in frolght rates which
will bring them several hundred mil
lions added rovenuo annually.
In Chicago conferences aro being hold
between tho highest traflle men of both
Eastern and Western roads with n view
to eliminating hundreds' of mtos which
aro known as "commodity rates" and
to compel shippers to submit every
thing to classification rates, which are
substantially higher. Tho preliminary
work is boing dono by committees rep
resenting both sections of tho count rv
and tho real magultudo of tho Increases
umi oi mo gcr.orai movo lor more rove
nuo will not be known until these com
mittees make thoir report, which may
not come before Juno.
Tito plan for a genoml incrcaso in
rates Is duo to the alarm which is felt
in Wall street and among tho stock
holders and directors of all railroads
over tho growing difficulty in securing
money with which to make needed im
provements, build extensions and pro-
viuo equipment ami mantles lor carry
ing tho traffic of tho country.
It was stated today that more than
$1,800,000,000 had been nnnronrlatcd
by tho railroads for theso purposes, but;
that It is imposslblo to lloat tho securi
ties in any of tho markets of tho world.
Accordingly tho milway presidents rind
tho mon who control tho transportation
facilities of tho country havo como to
tho conclusion that tho only way to
ntiso the necessary money is to Increase
tho prlco of what they havo to soil,
which is transportation.
In soiiio way It is expectodjthut many
hundred articles which aro now trans
ported on "commodity rates" will bo
restored to tho classification, which will
operate to Increase tho rates from threo
to llfty, and in boiiio cases oven 100 per
cent. In connection with the elimina
tion of many commodity rates, it is
stated that all of tho lines havo agreed
that uniform classification would Im) a
good thing, us tho shippers, deslro it.
Wlion this is finally obtained, it may
be found that tho classification rates on
many articles havo been Increased.
At present fully 75 per cent of tho
tonnage of tho country Is curried on
"commmodlty rates," which aro very
much under tho corresponding clarifi
cation rates. All of tho heavy tonnauo.
such us flour, grain, Iron, steel, coal,
are moved on tho lower rates.

Block Island, R. I., Feb. 13. A ma
rlno disaster with appalling loss of llfo
nnd entailing Buffering nlmost boyond
tho limit oil human endurance camo to
light today, when a life boot of the Joy
lino steamer Lurch mon t, bound from
Provldonce to Now York, drifted into
Block Island harbor.
In tho boat were several bodies of
men who had died from tho effects of
long hours of exposure to a death-dealing
temperature. In the boat also woro
11 men whoso suffering was so Intense
that they seemed oblivious to tho fact
that death was in their midst and tlioy
had escaped only by virtuo of thoir
ability to withstand tho rigor of zero
A-eathcr in an open boat at sea.
Tho loat brought a talo of disaster
that hits rarely been equaled In Now
England waters, and It is believed that,
when tho final outcomo is known, ib
will be found that not less than 150
lives were lost. Following closely in
tho wake of tho Rolitary lifeboat camo
bodies, lifeboats and rafts, cast on tho
beach by tho angry waves.
Owing to tho condition of tho sur
vivors It was impossible to get from
them an estimate of tho loss of life.
From 150 to 175 persons went to their
death, nnd at a lato hour tonight it was)
believed that tho latter figures aro
nearer correct
Tho cause of tho accident has not
been satisfactorily explained. It oc
curred just off Watch 1 1 1 11 about 11
o'clock last night, when tho threo
masted schooner Harry Knowlton,
bound from South Amboy for Boston
with a cargo of coal, crashed into tho
steamor's port amidships. Captain
McVoy, of tho Larchmont, declares that
the Knowlton suddenly swerved from
her course, luffed up Into tho wind and
crashed Into his vessel. Contain Halov
of tho Knowlton asserts that tho steam

Washington, Feb. 14. - A compro
mise oftho coal land bill was finally
ugrcod upon today by tho Iioubo com

ed for a favoniblo renort. It falls far
