V will be. unable to pay for them at the

to Mr. Rice promising to introduce a

is a measure in which a great many peo
ple are interested something further
ought to be done, by petition or other
wise and ven then the measure may
not succeed; still when the government
can afford td extend the indebtedness of

,v ','1 have placed the blank petitions in
the hands of the secretary' of ur cham
ber of commerce with request that they
be laid before that body immediately.
Steps have already been taken to .have
others generally circulated among the
people. There is but one sentiment
here. All are earnestly in favor of an
open river." ." In the course of a long
letter, Mr. Slater says : -''It bias been
nineteen years since the first appropria
tion was made tor the Cascade locks and
five years at the outside ought , to have
sufficed iqr its completion, and the jBrst
lock is even now far from being ready
for use. The necessity for an open river
and untrammeled communication from
all this interior country, most properly
named the Inlaad. Empire,, which was
beginning to be felt somewhat keenly ,1
even prior to 1873 has now become over
shadowing and is - materially restricting
i ur growth and prosperity, and is a
menace that should spur our people to
Xhc utmost exertion to remove."

Announcement.
The directors of the Dalles, Portland
and Astoria Navigation company have
determined to add eight additional state
rooms to each of tbeir boats and they
will take advantage of the present tie
up to make these and other needed im
provements. The contract has already
been let and .the. !vbrk ; will be pushed
with all speed, but it. ia thought that
it will take three to four weeks to finish
the job.' -'By that time it is hoped the
river will be open and the boats can run
during the coming spring and summer
without stopage lor alteration or re
pairs. . -

Hr Urges the Government to Build the
r ' rrtage Road..
COMMUNICATION , TO. - CONGRESS.
Tate River, and Harbor Committee 1
How the Necessities of the Case
- Special Features and Data are Given.
... Governor Pennoyer is endeavoring to
persuade the river and harbor commit
tee to .make an appropriation for . the
portage rail way at The Dalles He. has
embodied bis ideas on the subject in a
.letter to them, which carefully discusses
the situation.- It is given herewith :
(VGentlemea ; ..' I sincerely trust , that
you can incorporate in the bill of appro
priations for. rivers and harbors,' which
you at -this session- of congress will pre
sent to the consideration of the house,
the sum of $431,500 for a portage railroad
from the foot of the dalles to above Ce
lilo falls on the Columbia river. - This
appropriation has the unqualified recom
mendation of a board of engineers ap
pointed to report upon toe advisability
of building a boat railway to overcome
the obstructions to navigation in the Co
lumbia river, between the two places
mentioned, of date December IS, 1888,
and the approval of the chief of engi
neers of the date January 4, 1886. Ex.
Doc. No. 73, 50th Congress, second.- ses
sion.) The chief of engineers in his
letter to the secretary of war of above
date, concerning the deliberations of the
board, said : "The board, after discuss
ing the various projects presented, con
cludes that a single-track portage rail
way, which is estimated tocost $431,500,
and could be constructed in one year,
would undoubtedly be the cheapest" and
quickest solution of the existing difficul
ties. I agree with the board in these
views, and that such a road would be a
valuable aid in the construction of an
other and more satisfactory solution of
the problem which the growth of com
merce may demand. As it will be seen
by reference to the river and harbor act
of August 11, 1888, this board was in
structed to report as to the feasibility
and advisability of overcoming such ob
structions by means of a boat railway,
and as tbeir recommendation for a port
age railroad undoubtedly was not satia-
raexory to me aeiegation from Oregon in
congress, which had, unfortunately
for
the state, committed itself to the boat
railway scheme, it is to be presumed, at
tue instance ot such delegation, the
board made another renoi-t tinnn tliA
boat railway scheme of date, November,
ioo, wnicn conciuaes as toiiows :
It is to be seen that the solutions
were presented by the board on a non
age railroad in Washington, described in
detail by the report of December IS.
1888, and the continuous boat railwav
herein described. The first is a lipan
and speedy solution, adequate in the
opinion of the board, to meet existing
requirements. The second is suited to a
considerable commerce and it is recom
mended as a most feasible and conven
ient method of passing a large commerce
over these formidable obstructions with
out transshipment of cargo. The esti
mated cost of the portage railroad is
$431,500, and that of the continuous boat
railway, including lifts, is ?2,8C0,356 25
(Ex. Doc. No. 64, 5lst congress, first ses
sion). It may be added here that the
estimated annual cost of operating the
baat railway, equipped to pass sixteen
boats in twelve bourses estimated- at I
$80,000, to pass sixteen boats ach way
at $150,000, and to run at full capacity, i
passing forty boats each wav in twonty
fouB hours, at $275,000. . '
"For the reason,- therefore, that the
portage railroad can be constructed and
operated at such a trifling cost when
compared with the construction and
operation of a boat railway-, that it could
oe constructed m one year, that it really
has the approval of the government en
gineers in preference to a boat railway,'
and that the people of Eastern Oregon;
who would be offered . relief by such
portage railroad from the undue exac
tion now demanded of them in the ship
ment of their farm products to the sea-
Doara, i ao appeal to you to incorporate
the sum of $431,500 for the building of
such portage railroad in the bill, which
will be presented by you to the house.
The question of the practicability of a
portage has entirely been-removed from
the field of conjecture. Tto state of
Oregon at the last session of its legisla
ture made an appropriation - of $60,000
for the - buildinsr of a nortaee rail
road, at the cascades of the Columbia
when the Government for the last niitmn
years has been at work endeavoring to
bulla a canal. Worried with impatience
and almost disheartened, the state made
an appropriation to do that which was
plainly the duty of the Federal govern
ment, and the road was built ana is now
being operated by the state at an annual
cost of only $5000; the crews of the boats
being compelled to load and unload the
cars, thus limiting the force emploved by
me stare w conauctor engineer and
brakeman. ' Not only has the portage i
railroad project the recommendation of
the United btates enginers, but it hits
the' indorsement and' approval' 'of the
whole "people, of Oregon. At the six
teenth session.' of the Oregon legislature

February 17, 1891 : , ; ' ' V ' ; : .
" ln view of the foregoinsr recommen
dation of the United States engineers.
the expressed will of the people of Ore
gon and the great advantages that would
accrue to the state as the result, of such
a needed expenditure, allow me to ex
press the hope that your committee will
recommend to the house the appropria
tion above indicated. "
''The resolution referred to is house
concurrent' resolution, No. 24, and is as
follows: - .
' 'Kesolved, by the legislature of the
st&te of Oregon, That our senators and
our ' representative- in congress be re
quested to present to the congress of the
United States the appeal of. thtg people
of the state of Oregon for a sufficient ap-
propriation at this term ot said congress
for the construction of a portage railway
at the dalles of the Colombia, to be main
tained until the completion of the per
manent improvement above mentioned.
- " 'Resolved, farther; That our -delega-'
tion in congress be requested to use their
utmost eiTorts to secure at the present
session of -congress an appropriation for
such pottage railway, aud.a further ap
propriation for such permanent improv
ident by means of a boat railway.' "

a Grippe requires precisely the same
