' BOAT RAILWAY BILL,
An Appropriation Asked the General Gov

United States Senator Mitchell has
introduced the following boat-railway
bill:
" That there be, and hereby is ap
propriated, out of any money in the
treasury, not otherwise appropriated,
the sum of $500,000, in addition to
the amount heretofore appropriated,
for the construction and equipment of
a boat-raizway from the foot of The
Dalles rapids to the head of Celilo
Falls, in Oregon; the same to be con
structed under the direction of the sec
retary of wa.r. in accordance with tne
t
plans and specifications of the engi
neer department of the Unhed States',
provided, that contracts may be en
tered into by the secretary of war for
such materials and work as may be
necessary to complete the present pro-
ject of improvement of the Columbia
river at that point by the construction
of a boat-railway, as aforesaid, to be
paid for as appropriations may from
time to time be made by law, not ex
ceeding in the aggregate $1,764,467, ex'
elusive of the amount herein and here
tofore appropriated."

claimad by a Washington correspond
ent it will be a part of the river and
harbor bill, as must all other
measures looking to the improvement
of waterways. Hermann in the house.
and Mitchell in the senate, Tiave intro
duced bills, for proposed amendments
to the river and harbor bill, covering
all the improvements for Oregon. It
probably gives some prominence to
the improvements to have them pre
sented in this way, and calls the atten
tion of congress more directly to the
big p-ojects on the Pacific coast. Mit
chell's bill, however, will first go to
the committee on transportation routes
to the seaboard, where he is sure to
work out a favorable report. This
will give the project some standing in
the senate.

C. W. gollis gives the Athena press
man some valuable information in re
gard to exterminating squirrels. A
gentleman who was bothered more or
less with these pests, hit upon the
novel and inexpensive plan of clearing
his place of thorn by the use of concen
trated lye. He disolyedthe lye until
It was like paste. He then spread a
thin coating pn a chip, small flat stone,
or anything at hand, which could be
conveniently plaoed in the squir
rels hole. When the squirrels
come out they step in the lie. In
a short time their feet begin to burn,
when upsets Mr. squirrel, and into
the mouth goes the injured foot, and
there is one squirrel less on the ranch.
Mr. Hollis', informant vouches for the
destructive ppwer of lye as a squirrel
destroyer, and as (here is considerable
difference in the price of lye and strvoh
nine and other poisons, - it will cost
scarcely anything to experiment. Lye
costs but 10c a can, while the price of
strychnine is about $1.50 per. ounce.
Try lye and see how 1 works.
