PORTAGE ROAD
Project Receives Tupport From an Un
expected Quarter Oregon Con
gressmen Displeased.
Washington, March 27. The Oregon
delegation was very much surprised to
learn that Cushman and Jones of Wash
ington, and Wilson of Idaho had been
before the,river and harbor committ :
and urged an appropriation for a portage
railroad at The Dalles. This improve
mentatThe Dalles, while it would be
very beneficial to Washington and
Oregon, has always been considered
largely an Oregon matter, because the
Oregon men have always interested
themselves i.i it, while little attention
has been paid to it by the representa
tives of other states. Nothing was said
by tbo three representatives to either
Tongue or Moody, although Tongue is a
member of the river and harbor com
mittee, and was not present at the day's
session. The fact that there will be ro
river and harbor bill at ibis sesssion
makes cueh representations rather use
less, and it only serves to agitate a prop
osition, which Congress will not approve.
A portage road it is claimed, will per
mit ttie government ownership of rail
roads, something that is entirely out of
tbo question.
Representative Moody says that the
-.ge road will not lessen freight rates
to any degree, because the cost of trans
ferring will be so great and because a
portage road will prevent the building
of either the canal or a boat railway,
which is the only satisfactory improve
ment. Rei rcscntiitue Tongue regrets tlwt
tiietlueo men felt called upon to brine
up this matter without the assistance of
toe Oregon uiembets. Ho thinks some
'i nvisiou will be made fir The Dalles
,itu),'oe'neiit, l.tH is not inclined to
favor the pottage railroad from principle.
He thinks thu action today will i.c
complith nothing.
Ilepiosentative Cushman thinks the
portngo road will materially cut freight
rates and allow all Eastern and Southern
Washington fanners to got their wheat
to the open sea at moderate cost. He
thinks if tho poitago road is not uted,
its very construction will accomplish
thisem', which is oil he desires. Mr.
Jones concurs in this opinion.

Wilmington, Del., March 28. The
Wilmington Methodist Episcopal Con
ference, which represents Delaware and
n portion of Maryland, today adopted a
resolution condemning the army canteen
and the use and sale of liquors in our
possessions. The temperance commit
tee also presented another resolution
wbicli condemned President McKiuley
as a member of the Methodist Episcopal
church for public and private tippling.
It precipitated a hot discussion, and was
finally defeated by a voto of 07 to 43. A
resolution requesting the general con
ierence to censure President McKiuley
for setting aside Hie auti-canteen law
and to censure hint for drinking liquor
was adopted after tho personal reference
to the President's drinking had been
striken out.
