Appropriation for Oreiron Blvcrs.
Congressman Xesmith Informs the
Oregnnian that the River and Harbor
Appropriation Bill, as passed by the
House on the 22d of February, con
tained the following items for Oregon:
For the improvement of the J,ower
Willamette and Cohimhin rivers?, from
"Portland, Oregon, to the sea, $ 20.000.
For the improvement ot tlie Upper
"Willamette, $-25,000. For the im
provement of the Upper Columbia
river, $33,000. This is a total aggre
gate of $ S0.000, a sum which, it judi
ciously and intelligently expended,
will do a vast amount of good. The
appropriation of ? 25. 000 for the im
provement of the Upper Willamette
ought, if properly expended, to clear
it of al! obstructions and make it
navigable for light draught steamers
the year round. This, at least, is the
opinion of experienced and competent
nver men, as stated to us more than
once. AVe are not informed whether
the bill passed the Senate as it came
from the House, bnt we hope that it
3id, without any change whatever,
and that the appropriation may be
sed intelligently and honestly.
Robert J. Sharp writes quite a
lengthy eouimmiieatiou to the Salem
Jiecord under the heading "What is
' the matter with Kansas. " The writer
claims to have been a resideut of
. Kansas over eight years, and should
know whereof he asserts. lie says,
in substance, that Kansas Is a failure
A3 an agricultural State; that crops
have been a failure five years out of
eight; tint 1 he State lias been kept
alive tlie iast five years through
emeigration. ITe further says:
Thcre are natural causes for these
drouths in Kansas that are beyond
human power to control. Tliat State
has a sand desert bordering it on the
soutb-west, extending oIT in a south
west direction for over 500 miles down
to the Kio Grande river iu Texas,
and I don't know how much farther,
and 400 m;!es in its greatest width.
This accounts for those hot winds they
have in that country. For proof of
this assertion I refer you to Gen.
George A. Custer and all the officers
of the 7th U. S- cavalry."
More Railroad Talk.
We are informed that quite a discus
sion has arisen in tlie Granges in this
county, on the question as to the depth
of water on the bar at tlie month of
Yaqnina Bay at Jpw tide i and upon
wic proper iiiKierstauuiugui uhj matter
hangs to some extent the amount of
aid that will be given by our people
to the Yanuina Railroad. We nre
assured by Judge Chenoweth that
there is ten feet of water on tlie bar at
low tide, and fifteen feet, ami some
times more, at high tide, in the old
channel. The. rock obstruction at the
crossing of the bar, he says, is not
more than ten feet across, and on
either side Is deep water.. The Shu-
brick has had no difficulty in going in
and out. But there is another channel
in which there is never less than fif
teen feet of water at low tide, but in
or near the center of this channel there
Is a single rock, covered by probably
eight or ten feet of water at low tide,
which parties have offered to remove
for tin- sum ot $1,000. Tills rock re
moved, and we have a wi.e and safe
cliiitinel, with fifteen feet of water at
low tide. Vessels in coining in or go
ing out of Yaquin Bay. will not have
to nin the gauntlet of a long line of
breakers, sunken rocks, always more
or less dangerous. We have not the
Government survey at liand to verify
these statements made by Judge Chen
owetli, but are inclined to give them
full credence. There seems to be one
thing certain, and tliat is, that no
busiuess man or set of men, would
bind tliemselves to furnish the Iron
and rolling stock, fully equipping and
placing a railroad of fifty miles in
length in running order, without first
being fully informed as to all tlie ad
vantages to accrue to him or them
through such expenditure, as well as
the obstacles to be overcome. The
road after being built would be a very
unprofitable piece of property, ; if
vessels ot sufficient capacity to carry
away the produce of the country cou.d
not enter the Bay. We have been
promised further facts in relation to
this matter, and we propose to lay
them before our readers from time to
time, so that they may judge for them
selves a to the importance or benefit
to be derived by Linn county through
the building of the Y. B. Railroad.

It may be further stated that the sales

show a relatively larster increase, beyond
the sales of other makers, than of any
