Mays c.( Wasco, spoke at some length In
fnvor'i I' the bill and showed Its Importance
to Hsteru Oregon.
Cliamliets opposed the hill on ground of
economy and claimed also that INstern Ore
gon had hitherto been tretted with liberality
iiv tho State and could make no claims ou
that account.
Dufur of Waco, showed tho necessity of
tho load and tlio need of some action to give
vslue In tho wurrents and make tiiem avail
able at something near their fnoe.
Hlttearsoit opposed the bill because lie
thought the appropriation would not build
tho loud and believed the swamp lauds
would not more than pay I bo expoue of
biking care of them.
Steen of i'niHtllla. spoke for the bill, Kast
eru Oregon wanted a road up the Columbia
when the river was fro.ou. They wanted
merely to have tho bonds strengthened so
tbev tonld be made available.
Fiurt'iii'O of I'matllla, considered the road
m lniisntaut to ICastern Oregon that he
thought it ought to pass without question.
Stump couldn't see how the road was to bo
kept tin after It waa finished.
Gearlii hoped the bill would pass by a
large vote and urged tbe claims of Eastern
Oregon, also that il waa only asked to have
the Interest guarenteed for 15 years, to lie re
paid the State out of the Swamp land fund,
Fastem Oregon was sometimes entirely Iso
lated In winter and this was the most Itnpor.
