OREGOMAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash-
Infiton, Jan. 22.-Oregon and Washington
nver fared better In any river and har
bor bill than In that which wan completed
today and which, will "be reported to the
HW9' tomorrow or Thursday, In most
instancM the-Houte committee appropri
ated the full amount recommended toy the
Chief of ICndner. The mouth of the Co
lumbia River gets every qent that waa
recommftndeo and with this money the
Jetty will bft completed. While only $7o2,-
Is appropriated In cash, the engineers
re auttiorld to make oo n t roots to the
ajrrregate- amount or 92.452.244, and the
balance of that money will lie carried m
the sundry civil bill of next session, long
bpfor. the contract hftve 'been fulfilled.
The Demrttnent rccommendwl an ap
propriation Of tor continuing the
channel Improvement between Portland
and -the mouth of the Columbia. This
i m wax rediwea to S300.O0O. because the
committee looks to the Oity of Portland
And adjacent country to bear a large
.share, of the'eoat of this Improvement. a9-
urance having- been given the committee
by rprsentatlve dtijMns that . taxation
district had been iormed to raise money
lor this purpose.
Liberal ylch Celllo Canal. '
The committee was more' liberal with
The Dalles-Celllo canal than was at first
supposed. The $100,000 cash that Is appro-
prlated is ample to meet needs, and when
thi runs out the committee- has autihor
lsrd the expenditure of an additional
S,m(0. Which IS Only 1150,009 less than was
asked for by the War Department. The
full amount would have been appropri
ated -but for t he fart, that the engineers
very recently recommendel a large appro-
prifttlon for Improving the Columbia
River above Celillo.
The committee appropriates $130,000 for
that part of the Columbia River between
CftUlo and the mouth of Snake River and
J42.000 for the stretch of river farther up
between Wenatehee and Bridgeport.
These two Items more than offset what
waa -curt off the canal project. However,
the canal appropriation is satisfactory to
the Oregon and Washington delegations.
(for K aolutely commits the Government
to lo the work, and the next river and
harbor tiU will probe-bly make 'this a con-
tlnulug contract and provide for us com
pletion a fast as practicable.
It .Is understood In connection with- the
T'pper Cnlumbia project that the State of
"Washington will appropriate considerable
money to aid it In Improving the channel
entirely within that state. -

wade and none could to made under the
rule of the committee.
Improvement of the Columbia -between
Vancouver and the mouth of the Willam-
tte does not need further money and
none was asked or glvon.
In addition to the appropriations, the
committee authorizes surveys with a view
to formulating' new projects for deeper
channels at the entrance to Coos Bay
and Tillamook Bay. and for further Im
provement of the Coqullle River.

Result of United Effort.
The liberal appropriations made In the

and Washington are the result of the
Joint efforts of Senator Kulton and Rep

BERLIN', Jan. 22. The members or
the San Francisco committee that came
to the continent to secure payment of
Insurance on losses sustained tn the San
Francisco earthquake, having in the
main accomplished their purpose, are
about to -leave for England. The most
difficult accomplishment of the commit
tee was compromising with the Aus
trian Insurance Company, the Phoenix
of Vienna and the Trans-Atlantic Klre
Insurance Company of Hamburg. It is
understood the Phoenix Company
agreed to settle its San Francisco poli
cies at not far from their face value
and that the Trans-Atlanvtio Company
has also agreed to a basis.
Atter the Hamburg Court on Janu
ary 11 decided a test case against the
North German Fire Insurance Company,
the committee offered to compromise
at higrher terms than this company was
willing, and as a result further litiga
tion will be necessary.

stiff fight against a settlement. Other
German companies have agreed to set

commanding officer, sent out a detail and
placed SO of the naraudera in the guard

soldier was worsted by a negro. . Last
night the soldier with a crowd of his
comrades went after him. Being unable

Major Glenn today said that he would
thoroughly ' investigate the trouble and
that the leaders would be punished.
James Sterns, one of the latter, has con-

PAST MISTRESS IS ALIVE
(Continued from First Pai
I "ri 1 ted States Miss. Nora Stanton
Blatcti, grand-daugiiter ot Elizabeth
Cady Stanton. She was recently aV
polntfid a member of the staff of civil
ensineera having in cnarfre the work
on the new J160,OOU,000 Cataklll system
that has been added to the New York
water supply. Miss Blatch received her
tra inins at Cornel 1. where she was the
only woman in the class. At llrst it
is said the men students purposely
chose long trails, hard climbs and al
most Impassable barriers In the at
tempt to tiro her out, but she donned
Short Skirts and bloomers and man
aged to keep up with the best of them,
thus winning their respect and admira
tion. Before her election to this staff
Miss Blatch was offered a most flatter-
ing position In China, tne offer coming
through a hlrh -class Chinese official,
sent here to organise a corps of en
gineers for work in the flowery king
dom. She was recently elected a mem-
ber of the American Society ot Engi-
neers, and was the first woman to be
o nonored.
At the time of the great disaster in
San Francisco many people encountered
experiences thers which were almost as
unusual and unexpected aa the earth
quake itself. Willie Collier's theatrical
company was Just ready to sail from that
port to Australia and, as a result of
their being alive and evidently ' able
bodied, all the men in the company were
rounded up by the enterprising soldiers
and put to work. The tasks were labor
of the hardest kind, and Mr. Collier was
required to shuck his coat and work for
three hours lifting heavy timbers and
clearing away debris. John Barry more, a
brother of the actress Ethel Barrymore,
was put to trench-digging for the pre
scribed three hours. By his side was the
Secretary of State for California, whose
official dignity mean); nothing to the burly
representatives of Uncle Sam. All were
prodded into line with the bayonet when
there was any sign of lagging or disin
clination to work.
Bostonian's egro Accent.
Mrs. Marie Van Vorst, who has done
irmoh sincere and effective work in the
effort to ameliorate the evils of child
labor In the United States, has, like most
writers who gee things In a limited time.
made some amusing mistakes. One of
these is told by a .HuntsvUle. Ala., cotton
mill man.
"You see, we do not like to have wo-
men visitors, anyway." he confessed.
"Nobody who works wants other people
coming in to, look at them in their old
clothes and asking them personal ques
tions. But she begged so hard that we
finally decided to let her . go throuirh.
Then we got to dickering amons; ourselves
as to who would be Kulde. Finally we
decided that as a special compliment she
should have our new bookkeeper, who
was just from Nw England. He was a
real Boetonian. and we thought he would
impress her with his manners and fine
clothes, later when we bought the maga
zine to read her article we found it nearly
all corres. except the allusion to her
guide, the dignified youth only three
weeks down from Boston.
She said she was shown . through the
plant by a pleasant Southern boy who
spoke with the customary drawling negro
accent of the people of that section. Toil
ought to have seen that Boston book
keeper. He simply sawed the atmosphere
Into segments, and even now the mere
mention of his negro ShCcent' causes him
to kindle with rlKhteous anger and blaze
right out with indignation."

enjoyment of a Joke than Elbert Hub

distinguishable from the rest of the

man of Importance came driving swift
ly up to the fence and sprang- to the
ground.
"Here. John." he called pompously to
the nearest blue denim form." come
and hold my horse." The blue denim
boy came and obediently took the reins
and waiteu. . .
"Where Is Mr. Hubbard's officer
snapped the Important one.
"Over there at the workshop; ft rat
turn to the left." was the polite reply.
Off putted the man of Importance to
the ou.ee.
"Where Is Mr. Hubbardr he said
with a little more show of politeness,
on account of the supposed nearness of
the distinguished object of his search.
"Oh. you want to see Mr. Hubbard."
answered the man who had been ques
tioned, his eye twinkling as he looked
toward the fence where the bine denim
flgrure was lazily leaning- agralnat a
post, twirling the reins of the thor-
ouKh-bred. 'That's Mr. Hubbard hold
In your horse."
