'Among the items in the bill fur-
nished by thfe-housa committee on
oooimercee-aGf ice in the Oregon
'appropriations that for-"the lower
Columbia and Willamette inclua
ing the bar at the- mouth," has
been appropriated the magnificent
sum of $74,000. Why it wasn't
mad $73,539 or $74,006, or some
other equally exact amount,
"heayen and congress alone know.
Our delight upon learning that all
this vast amount of money has
actually been recommended is still
further augmented on learning
that this "is subject to possible in
crease on further hearing." It is
refreshing to know that so much
is "possible."
The comittee goes on to say:
"As' to the commencement of
permanent works at the mouth of
the Columbia, the committee, on
account of 'the adverso report of
the advisory board of engineers
"at New York made a year ago,
disapproving Col. Gillespie's plan,
and in view of the importance of
the proper commencement of a
great work and the necessity of
having a plan approved by the
chief engineers, have decided on a
through and careful examination
in detail by a board of" engineers
in person, to be appointed by the
secretary of war immediately on
tb'e passage of the bill, when, after
yisiting the mouth of the river
-they shall report such a plan as
they may approve in time for the
December session of congress, so
.that au appropriation can then be
made."
So this lamo and impotent con
clusion ia all that this session of
Coiigresssums up as far as wo are
. "5 (concerned.. Every one in Astoria
i knows .what an appropriation for
-ai"tbe.lower Columbia and Willam-
ette, including the bar at the
mouth," meaiib All the money
that will be spent at the bar or on
the bar this season can easily Et
in'the ears of any one of ourread--ers:
$74,000 is a nico little turn
for the improvement of the chan
nel and keeping it open from
Portland to Astoria, and is good
as far as it goes, but this thing of
keepingHho word of promise to
the ear, and breaking it to the
,.,i ; i .11.. .. i , ? .!
iiujju, ia nuruiy niiisiiect ill tills
' part of the state. Wo would
rather see the matter clearly spec
ified "$74,000 for the improve
cnent of the Willamette andj Col
umbia rivers from Portland to
Astoria." it would be all right
and is all right, for the money
'will-no doubt do good if not fooled
..- away ,n "surveying," but to throw
us a little-taffy by putting in the
Ridiculous catch "and the bar nt
the mouth" is just rubbing it in
s little too much. It is not a ques
tion of '-who is to blame." Wo
t (believe Mr- George did all ho could;
we beliove that the appointing of
a new board of engineers to visit
and inspect the mouth of the Col
umbia next summer is duo chiefly
tohis personal effort, but we de
cidedly object to lugging in that
"bar at its mouth," in a miserable
- -little '$74,000 appropriation. It
giTes the whole matter of bar im
provement a bad flavor; it is a
sort of concession that that is
about all such a trifling little bit
ef improvement should get.
Fourteen mouths ago General
Wright submitted plans for
the improvement of the mouth
of ihe'Columbia river, suggesting
" "' a' style and system of permanent
Improvement that would in tho
" opinionof many have succeeded
i m' procuring the desirod result.
' - This improvement would, he esti
mated, cost $430,000. Tho board
of engineers in a lengthy and
elaborate adverse report, conclud
ed that it was "unnecessary, to
, submit any plan at this time for
-the improvement of tho mouth of
the Columbia." It's one of these
- things for which thero is no pres
ent roirasg. All that can be dea
is to wait and see what this board
t'oat comes out to reportnext sum
mer will do.
Again- an anti-Chinese bill has
passed the House of Representa
tives by the overwhelming vote of
204 in the affirmative and 37 in the
negative. It is tho same in intent
as the New York ward politician
voted, except the clause relating
to- the time tho-suspension shall
bo in force. There is one conso
lation, that if it pass tho Senate
by a good round majority His Ac-
cidency No. 4 must sign it, for the '
same reason that the Arkansas
man -stole the mule in self-dej
fense. If he doesn't it will fie very
little consequence, for an Ameri
can Congress that is so thoroughly
anti-Chinese as tho present one
will pass over his veto again, even
though Massachusetts sentimental
ists should domand an oncon of
such presidential performance.
