Mr. Beach says that Mr. Summervell requested the board 'to keep his detailed report from th public.' and Mr. Wittenberg says that It was because of the manner In which Mr. Summervell discussed the drawings and designs, and to save our feelings, that the report was suppressed. "As to Mr. . Beach's statement, we have requested Mr. Summervell to re lease the board, from Its promise not to publish the report and expect 10 hear from him on the subject tomorrow; while as for Mr. Wittenberg's state ment, we ourselves have prepared . request to be presented to the bosrd asking that we be humiliated by hav Ing th full report puhllshel and :ur shortcomings as architects laid bare to th world. maport Is Wauled.

"As to the other prejudicial Statements made in the press concerning Mr, Boise, drawn, doubtless from prejudiced sources, these also ought not to be and will not be credited, by a fair public opinion pending the hear ing.

There is little doubt that the Boise prosecution will become, before it Is completed and taken through all of the courts, one of the greatest legal battles in the history of the Multnomuh county bar.

When asked what was being done by the northwest delegation to open up the Columbia, river he said: "The people of the state of Washing ton,, especially those of the inland em pire, are directly and vitally interested in the Improvement of the Columbia river. It affords me no little gratifica tion to refer to the preliminary surveys of the river on the portions between Kettle Falls and Bridgeport and be tween Wenatchee and Priest Rapids. Those, survey, which I may say wera. secured through the efforts of our united delegation, are the beginning of a great and monumental work. It Is scarcely too much to predict' that soma day lit th future we shall see our great highway, the Columbia, and Its tribu taries open to the commerce that natur ally must follow It from Its upper waters to tne sea.

Wewlll keep fighting all along the line until the mighty Colum bia is fully open to navigation.

When the obstructions at th LJttl Dalles and a few other minor onea ar removed, the river will be navigable for nearly iOO holes above Priest Rapid. "With all these email obstacles 'out of the way the river will b opened to navigation for a distance of approxl- mately 1.000 miles.
