THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT Criticised by Chairman Cannoa or tb Appropriations Committee No loeioaee or Salaries. Washington, June 13. Chairman Cannon, of tbe appropriation commit tee, and ex-Chairman bayrea, today made public a joint statement concern ing the expenditures authorized by tbil jongres. Total appropriations, in ;luding permanent annual appropria tions, are $515,769,820. Mr. Cannon' itatement begin: "Tbe appropriation charged to thia songres include f 119,054,1(10 nnder permanent law, of which amount 150,000,000 1 for sinking fund and ,30,600,000 for Interest on tbe publio debt, or (3,855,614.40 more than wa included at the last session of congress in the itatement of appropriation, ind I on account of tbe increase of 1162,315,400 in tbe bonded indebted ness of the country by the present ad ministartion to February, 1895, inter tettnd sinking fund charge on account Df the latter bond issue of (100,000, 000 in February, 1898, amounting to 14,400,000, not being included in tbe sstimate of permanent appropriations. The increase in tbe prinoipal of the in-. tereat-bearing debt under the present administration amount to (202,315, (00, which entail an annual interest charge of (11,492,616, and to meet tbe linking fund obligation, the further mm of (3,623.164. "Tbe regular annual bill, including tbe deficiency bill, a passed by the bouse, made a reduction in the total estimate submitted by the executive of (20,983,191; they were increased by tbe senate (22,920,422, and as they became laws, tbey appropriated (10, 636,624 less than a paased by the sen ate; (12,283,818 more than as they passed tbe bouse, and (13,374,873 less than the estimated requirement of the administration. "Tbe regular appropriation, includ ing deficiencies, made at tbe last ses sion of congress, amounted to $383. 636,890, and it included no river and harbor bill. Excluding tbe river and harbor act passed at tbl session, the regular annual bill, a passed by the bouse, appropriated only (373,570,082, or more than (10,000,000 less than wa appropriated by the laat congress." Mr. Cannon criticise the treasury department because it ba expended (7,377,440 for the present year in col lecting the revenue from oustom esti mated at (166,000,000. Tbe bill establishing salaries in stead of the fee system for oflloer of the United State oourta, be say, will save (1,000,000 annually, and minimize frivolou and malioion prosecution. Especial attention is called to tbe fact that congress made no increase of sal aries of employe in (he government de partments. The following table of ap propriation i given: Fifty-first oougTesa, (988,417,183.84; fifty-second oongress,(l, 027, 134, 647.93; fifty-third congress, (989,239,205.69; fifty-fourth oongress (first session), (515,769,820.49. Mr. Sayre, in bis itatement, says of tbe total appropriation of the session: "This suia exceed tbe appropria tion dnrlng the last aesslon of the fifty-third congress by (18,751,299, aud those of tbe first regular session of that oongress by (23,523,557. "It i less than tbe appropriation by the second session of the fifty-second oongress by only (3,744,638, although at the latter session (39,352,494 more wa appropriated for pension than at thi session. It is more than those by the first session of the fifty-first con gress by (21,803,671, and (35,404,040 less than the appropriations of the seo ond session of the fifty-first congress. "The appropriations made by the seoond session of the fifty-first oongress exceeded those made at the first session of the same congress by (46,676,612, or nearly 10 per cent. If tbe same proportion should be made at the next session, then the appropriation will not be less than (506,000,000."

Notwithstanding tbe attractive ap pearance of the many Dibweel and trap that are distributed along the river, the royal ohinook refuses to be enticed into their meshes, consequently salmon is as scarce a winter butter in this market, and the cannerie are lying idle, says The Dalle Chroniole.

While a man wa hunting cow in the wood near Nolialem last week, be fonud three large oiroular saws bidden in the brush near the bank of tbe river. The general impression i that the saws were stoleu from s sawmill at Grand Rapids, on the upper Neha lem, and brought down the river and hidden. No saw of that size bave ever been in use on the lower river, and this seems to be the only plausible explanation, as it is known that a great deal of maohiuery has been carried away from the mill at Grand Rapids. The capacity of the Grand Ronde Lumber Company's sawmill at Perry, in Union county, is considered to be 100,000 feet of lumber per day, but occasionally thia output is exceeded. The high water reoord so far was that made on the 23d ultimo, when the to tal output in 11 hours waa 114,000 feet On this day 406 sawlogs were transformed into lumber, and the out put on that date would be equivalent to about ten carloads. The three plaoer mines in Fox valley in Grant oounty, are all running in full blast with full head of water They expect to have plenty of water uutil after the Fourth of July, and from the amount of ground they will each work, their clean-up will be an excellent one.
