Port Orford and that she evidently has
N not been damaged to sny considerable
extent. He la firmly of the opinion
that the steamer can be floated without
difficulty when the weather moderates,
and that it will be found she is not
damaged enough to put her out of com

On the return trip of the Despatch she

NO MONEY FOR THE BAR.
Chairman Burton Would Cut Out Ap
propriation For Columbia.''
Chairman Burton, of the house rivers
end harbors committee, has notified.
Senator Fulton that he would oppose'
the Insertion in the sundry civil bill
that is to be parsed this session of
any appropriation for continuing Im
provement at the mouth of the Colum
bia river, or for continuing the con
struction of the Dalles-Cellilo canal,
which has been begun with the present
appropriations.
Burtoii, contrary to the belief of the
department, holds that neither of these
projects is recognized by congress as
.continuing contracts; therefore, he will
oppose appropriations for them until
the regular river and harbor bill is
framed next session.
Senator Fulton says an effort will be
made to attach appropriations for the
Dalles improvement, and for the mouth
of the river,' when the sundry civil bill
reaches the senate, in the hope that the
Items can be retained In conference, for
he regards It as vitally Important that
more money should be made available,
no that work can continue throughout
the coming fiscal year on these two im
portant projects.

WEATHER IS TOO 8EVERE.
Transport Dix Remains Bottled Up In
Lower Harbor.
The transport Dix is still bottled up
in the lower harbor, and the prospects
for her immediate departure are not
any brighter than was the case several
days ago. The transport is drawing
more than 21 feet, and the bar must
be smooth In order to enable a vessel of
this draft to cross without pounding.
The bar pilots are quite as anxious
as the Portland Chamber of Commerce
that the transport, should be hastened
on toer way, but they are not willing
to accept any desperate chances. A
pilot has been aboard the Dix for sev
eral days and Just as soon as the
weaker moderates the vessel will be
taken to sea.. Yesterday morning an
attempt was made to cross out, but the
bar was altogether too rough.
The Dix has now been in port for
eight days, and tbe department is be
coming anxious about her. The delay
was occasioned by her long trip ot 30
hours down the river from Portland,
which caused her to miss a good bar.
The weather was very bad last night,
and it seems the transport will be tied
up for an Indefinite period.
Chicago, Feb. it. "1 returned to
Chicago all that I have derived from
Chicago, and In doing so am glad to
be able to recognize the obligation that
rests upon all good citizens voluntarily
to contribute, according to their means,
toward the moral education of the peo
ple which is most needed and is not
provided for through our taxation and
public schools."
In this language the will of Thomas
D. Lowther, as filed for probate, dis
tributes an estate of $300,000 among
Chicago institutions and Individuals.
Mr, Lowther, whose fortune woe made
in the real estate business, died
bachelor and had few immediate rela
tives.
