There. has not been a river and harbor bill en acted by congress' since he has been in congress, for almost a quarter of a century, but has had provisions In It tor the improve ment of the river along lines jus tified by the tonnage passing over It, and more money by fay has been appropriated for the Im provement of said river during the time Jlr.

What have any of them' ever done to help Improve the riv er or anything else of a public nature? , "Federal appropriations should be made only when there is a showing that the expenditure of. the millions of dollars" required for the canalisation of the Wil lamette river will be justified by the probable tonnage that will pass over the river. To secure such a large expenditure of public funds without such assurance would be a wanton waste of the people's money and not Justified in ood conscience and publle duty. Those army engineers and the commit tees of congress who authorise such appropriations want facts up on which to predicate action and not wild and untrue statements of persons who are uninformed, who have never made a success of any thing they have ever undertaken, and who proclaim aloud their own great merits and wondrous opin ions, based solely upon an exag gerated ego.
