The Government is Favorable to

WOULD AID GOVERNMENT
In the Construction' 'of a Canal to
Open die Columbia Now
Under Advisement.
Washington, Feb, 6. Engineer of
ficers in tbis city are not willing finally
to commit themselves on the proposal
of the State of Oregon to construct a
portage railroad from Celilo around The
Dalles rapids, on the Columbia Riyer,
until they are fully advised as to the
details of the plan proposed. The
vrovernmeni wouiu nave supervision
over such a proposition only in so far as
the right of way to be occupied by the
portage road would lie upon land that
has been acquired by the Government
under the old boat railway project, ar d
where the state would peek to acquire
wharfage rights in the river at each end
of the proposed road. These matters
would come under the supervision of
the Chief of Engineers.
It is stated at the department that, so
far as is known, there is no particular
reason whv a nortaoA rnarl ahmi!,l in onv

way encroach upon or interfere with the
Government work to be nndeitakf n
under the canal project, as there is much
more land now owned by the Govern-
ment between The Dalles and Celilo
than will ever be used for Aanal nnr.
poses. On the contrary, it is pointed
on th i i., .i
...
numoer oi individual engineering otucers
have in the past recommeuded the con
struction of a Government portage road
at this point, and, in view of this past
ttitnde, it is said there is little or no
ikelihood that the engineers would
throw any obstacles in the way of a
portage road to be built and maintained
by the state. In view of the opposition
ipp
n Congress to the Government owner
hip and control of railroads, it has
never been possible to secuie the sane-
on of that body for a Governn e .t
portage road, although many members
believed that suoti a road would meet
t lie demand and serve to force the de
Hired redaction in railroad rates to the
seaboard.
The engineering board that is now
considering the Harts project, it is
understood, is givingno thought what
ever to the portage road project, and, in
fact, is devoting its entire attention to
devising a cheap, yet satisfactory, canal
project that will afford a permanent
open river. It is admitted by engineer
officers that a portage road paralleling
the river would prove of .very great as
sistance to the engineers in the construc
tion of the canal, and; on this; account
the state's proposition will appeal more
strongly to the department if when is
presented in detail.
Representative Moody, who has taken
a deep interest in this work, has called
on state officials for details, particularly
as to right of way desired tor the pro
posed portage road. When this, is had,
he believes the approval of the depart
ment can really be had, even (though it
may be necessary to make some altera
tions in order to meet their demands.
