modern methods of excavation and
building have made it clear that years
need not be spent upon a work of this

not consider the Columbia river wholly
an Oregon stream. Upper Columbia
river interests begin to press upon the
Washington and Idado congressmen
and make them feel the need of doing
something to secure the water outlet to
the Pacific ocean without interruption.
A theory which has been supplement
ed on to Borne extent- in Washington is
the fact that certain engineers who ap
proved the boat railway scheme wanted
an experiment of this kind tried for tbe
purpose of influencing other works in
tbe United States, both of a public and
of private nature. It ia also said that
engineers are somewhat accommodating,
and are not very anxious to go contrary
to tbe wishes of the congressmen who
push particular schemes. ' Engineers
who nave gone contrary to wnat sen- i
ators and representatives wanted, have !
been subject to severe criticism, and this
they do not fancy any more than other
people.
It must be acknowledged also that
while the boat railway scheme has re
ceived tbe indorsement of many emi
nent engineers, it has also been some
thing of a laughing stock,and away down
deep the leading engineers of the army
never believed thatjcongiejs would au
thorize it, or that a boat railway would
be built. It is one of the subjects thy
have always smiled about and would
raise their eyobrows with amusement
hen asked for a serious opinion .
The greatest drawback to the boat
ailway is the fact that it wouid cost
5U,uuu a year to maintain it outside ot
ther repairs such as expenses etc. .while
he canal conld be maintained for a
fraction of that amount, and repairs
would not, comparatively speaking,
amount to anything.
