His letter to Senatpr Mitchell follow: "I can assure you that thla of fice 1 moat fully Impressed with the urgent desirability of Inaugurating the new work at the mouth of the Columbia at the earliest date prac ticable. The securing of the trans port Grant wa promptly effected, and arrangement for Ha convers ion Into a dredge are bring pushed a rapidly aa possible, and It can be confidently predicted that auch dredge will b available for opera tion some time during the coming summer, "Th last river and harbor act proved for Improving the Colum bia river, In accordance with the latest approved project, and auch modification thereof aa may be rp proved by the secretary of war. At the ume time there waa a plan and estimate before Mingresa for work which could have been pro ceeded with rapidly but for the fact, a reported to the secretary of war, that such plan did not meet with th approval of the senators from Oregon, and the further fact that It was the evident Intention of congress to call for some other plan which had been presented. Including one from the Reaction Jetty company, which should have due consideration. "Such consideration of plan nec essitated the constitution of a board of engineer to consider the varl oua plan. Such a board was - formed of five neutral officer ex perienced In the class of work un der consideration. A conldera tlon of the plans of the Keactlon Jetty company necessitated hear ing and an examination by the board of the work at Arkansas Pus, Tex., 'upon which the com pnny base It assurance of suc cess at the emouth of the Colum bia. I regret the apparent delay, but the Importa i.'e of the work and the condition named have result-, ed In delay which could not pos sibly have been avoided. The board haa been giving the matter earnest consideration, and It Is expected that a report will be received by February 1.

The many oil discoveries during the past few year would seem to Indicate an almost Inexhaustible supply, arid a a result much of it Is being used for fuel purposes. ' Experiments have shown that It Is Just as servtcable a coal but orwldirably cheaper. There are many people, however, who will al ways prefer coal, Just a there are many people who prefer taking Hos tetter'a Stomach Bitters In preference to any other remedy because they have tried It and know its value a stom ach strengthened an appetiser and gen eral health restorer. ' They also know from experience that It positively cure sour stomach, dlsxlnese, headache, In digestion, dyspepsia, constipation, bll- llousnesa or malaria, fever and ague. Try. bttl anoT be convinced of Its value. Avoid all Imitations, YOU'LL HAVE TO. HURRY. The beginning of the month Herman Wise first made the offer to sell 200 suits of men's clothe at the ridiculous price of $7.60. Some people at first paid no attention to the offer, but the bargain hunter aooq appreciated the treat In store and began to Invest until now there' hardly a day but Mr. Wise sell from 5 to 10 of those suits. There' nothing the matter with these suits, except that Mr. Wise has only one or two of a kind left and aa he prides himself on cleaning stock before another season opens, he felt It advis able to mark uch low price on the odd suits that would surely move them. Half of the month Is gone, so If you. gentle jeader, are wise you will go to Wise and at once for one of those suit that formerly cold at from $12.(0 to $17.50 and et one now at $7.50. Don't wait until they are all gone and then kick. See Wise now. DANGER N0I VET PAS1 SCHOOLS OF CITY WILL It E- MAIN CLOSED. Decision Reached by Hoard of INrertorM at Meeting Held Yeaterday Morning.
