"This obBtnclo to our undertaking uuiUHlilp Is Improving,
has been overcome by tho proposal to ' Small Tommy after being severely

creation of a railroad commission
calculated to do considerable harm.
For one thing, congress JiiBt bo

Is especially gratifying that tho Jetty
work nt tho mouth of tho river hns
been put on tho continuing contract
basis, thus assuring steady work on
it till It Is completed.
Tho Oraegon legislature did ouo
good Job, providing congress at tho
next session will Join with tho state
nnd mako tho rest of tho appropria
tion necessary In appropriating
4:100,000 for freo lockB nt Oregon
City. If Mr. Hawley can Induce con
gress to bear tho rest of tho cost, he
will havo done a very lino piece of
work, not only for tho Willamette
valley above Oregon City but uIho
for Portlnnd although this city is
not in his district; but nothing much
can ho expected of tho reprcsontutlvo
from this district. IIo probably will
summon up energy enough to vote,
If somebody will tell lilm when.
The Icglslnturo failed to do an Im

tho combination of tho Portage rail

most anything that will aid cheap
