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. jgon iW i to A 7 JXTJETSXr TODAY T The ij New rSP A and ihP W Original...
