APPROPRIATION FOR COLUMBIA APPROVED BY Senator Chamberlain, as the Chairman,. Has Limit Fixed at $5,000,000, TO RUN THE GAUNTLET SUBCOMMITTEE Tnll Commtttrt Ks Ytt to Pa on Amm&mnt to irr and Ewbori Htll, Orron Senators oa Ouard. Whlnton Ruri-au of The Journal.) Washington. May 20. With th ten dency toward retrenchment In nationa! oxpendltures tt may be found difficult to oure the appropriations actually rtqulred for merltoriug projects for river and harbor work. Oregon Is grnatly Interested In this question and specially because of the improvements In Columbia river navigation which are In' contemplation and under way. Senator Chamberlain as chairman of the subcommittee having these appro priations In charge has met with very gratifying success thus far in his ef forts to keep all of the Oregon items in the bill, and he has even secured some increases over the original recom mendations. The verdict of the sub committee, however, will still have to run the gauntlet of criticism and pos sible objections itj the whole' commit tee, after which the bill will steer a somewhat perilous course on the floor of the senate. Columbia Mouth Improvements. Because of the many uncertainties attending legislation at this session, Senator Chamberlain has shown some reluctartce about announcing what recommendations have been agreed on, but It may bt suUl that the subcom mittee has .agreed to indorse the amendment to the rivers and harbors bill. Introduced January 12 by Sen ator Chamberlnln, putting the improve . ment of the mouth of the Columbia on a continuing basics and making the lim it of cost $5,100,000. This amendment reads as follows: "Continuing improvement and for maintenance, including repairs and op eration of dredge (act or March 4, 1913, vol,s37, page 820. section one), 1,000, 000 : Provided, That the secretary of war may enter into a contract or con tracts for such materials and work as may be necessary to complete said project, to be paid for as appropria tions may from time to time be made by law, not to exceed In the aggregate $4,100,000, exclusive of the amount herein appropriated." Ian Asks Smaller Amount. Apparently not knowing of the amendment offered by Senator Cham berlain, Senator Lane on April 13 last .also Introduced an amendment fixing the limit of cost for this work at J4, '000,000, but as the bill already car ried an appropriation for $1,000, )00 which would be superseded by the adoption of the amendment, the result of the adoption of the Lane amend ment would have been to make the limit of tost $4,000,000 Instead of $5, 100,000 as proposed in the Chamber lain amendment. On this account the Lane amendment was not considered by the subcomtnittee. 1 Senator Lane's amendment was to Insert in the rivers and harbors bill on pnge 4!, line 15, after the amount Stated, the following language: "Provided, That the secretary of war may enter into a contract or con tracts tor such materials and work as may be necessary to prosecute the said project, to be paid for as appropriation! may from time to time be made by luw, not to exceed In the aggregate $4,000,000, exclusive of the amount herein and hereinbefore appropriated." It is needless to say that both Ore gun Henatdrs will do everything they caiv to steer this provision safely through tho senate. Senator Cham berlain has already secured the adop tion of his amendment by the subcom mittee, as stated, and he has every hope of having the action Of the sub committee sustained when it is re viewed by the full committee.
