HABTBOS. ji$V PROPOSED OREGON AND WASHING TON IMPROVEJrENTS. The project for the improvement of the lower Willamette and Columbia rivers has for its object the making of a ship channel of twenty feet at low water. It consists of the permanent contraction of waterway, for improve ment of the four bars from Portland to St. Helens, in dredging and stir ring up the bottom at these bars dur ing the construction of permanent works, and also at shoal places below St. Helens, and in snagging opera tions. This work, of course, should be continuous in operation to secure beneficial results. The amount al ready allowed for tho improvement has been 605,363, and has resulted in maintaining a ship channel of a least depth of seventeen to eighteen feet at low "water fioji Astcria to Portland. For the next year an appropriation of $351,000 is asked for the comple tion of the permanent structures pro jected, temporary improvements and preservation, extension of tho plan of permanent contraction to the bars below St Helens, and for the removal of a rock obstruction. At the mouth of the Columbia river an extensive work is required. The project is to construct a low-tide jetty, about four and a half mUos long, from near Fort Stevens, on the south cape, to a point about three miles south of Capo Disappointment Tweuty-six feet are required on the bar iu tho estimation of the engin eers, in a wide and direct channel, and thirty feet are desirable on ac count of theieavy seas of the local ity, for tho deep vessels needed by the river trade. An appropriation of $300,000 is asked for the next year for building about one and three quarter miles of the structure, which it is believed will check a present shifting tendency of the channel southward, increase the channel depth and give prompt relief to the large and increasing shipping. The amount allowed for the commence ment of the work is S100.O00, and it will require forits completion 3,710, 000. The amount required for the com pletion of tho improvement of the upper Willamette river is $33,000, of which $20,000 is asked for the next year. This will be applied to the construction of a snag-boat and 2,000 feet of low dams, and operations of the boat for a year, and rock removal. The object is to afford and maintain an easy light draught navigation from Portland to Eugene City. The amount allowed for the work has been' $155,500. Thirty-six thousand dollars is needed for the completion of tho work on the npper Columbia and Snake rivers, all of which could be well expended during the next year. This would enable the work to be ex tended on the Snake river above Lewiston, and on the Columbia river above the mouth of tho Snake. The improvement has already cost $235, 869.43. The amount allowed for work on Columbia river at the cascades has been S954,919,25, and it still requires to complete the project $1,595,397.31. An appropriation of S503,000 is asked for the next year, for a guard gate and part lock construction, building structures accessory to the canal ex cavation at the npper entrance to the canal, aud for additional river im provement Tho plan is, as is known, to give lockage around the main rapid, and open river navigation through the minor rapids below, for stages, at tho foot of the canal, of twenty feet above low water. The project for the improvement or the entrance to Coos bay is to bnild a half-tide jetty or training dyke from near Fossil point, inside of the entrance, for making a deeper and more direct channel across the sea bar. Ono hundred and thirty thous and dollars have been provided for tho work, and it still demands for its completion $170,000. Of this thero is asked for next year $150,000, to bo applied in tho extension of tho jetty. It is expected with this amount to make the depth permanent which will have been gained, aud to further im prove tho channel direction. The project for tho improvement of the entrance to Xaquma bay, is to build a jetty on the south side of the entrance for closing tho south chan nel and making a permanent central channel of a depth of not less than twelve feet at mean low water. There has been applied to the work $160,000. and $115,000 is required for its com pletion. The amount asked for next year, $110,000, will, if allowed, be used for continuing tho jetty for making the depth permanent which has been obtained, and to blast knob3 of rocks which may be uncovered if tho channel is scoured out to a greater depth or width than now ob tained. The mouth of the Coquille river is to be improved by a jetty to make a direct channel of navigable width, and not less than ten feet depth at mean low water. In the work $20,000 has been used, leaving yet to bo pro vided $134,200. For the next year $60,000 is asked to continue the jetty and commencing a short structure on the north side of the entrance. Tho project for the improvement of the Cowlitz river consists in snagging operations and moderate scraping "of bars annually, to give on easy and safe light draft navigation at all stag es to Cowlitz landing. The amount allowed for the work has been $4,000, and has facilitated transportation by making it more safe. An appropria tion of $6,000 is asked to complete the present project, to extend its ap plication twenty miles up stream to the head of desired navigation, and to maintain the channel for a year. Chc halis river is under similar improve ment, the amount used having been $3,000. For the next year S5.000 is asked to continue tue work and to extend operations to the mouth of tho Chehahs and up stream to Cla- quato and on a few, miles of tribut aries. Tho Skagit, Steilaguamisb, Noot- sack, Snohomish and Snoqualmie riv ers have been similarly improved with allowances amounting to $20,000. For next year $22,000 "is asked to complete construction and appliances of the suagboat and to operate her for a year on each ot tho rivera, re serving S2.000 to rebuild the boat at the end of ten years. There is urg ent call for the removal of obstruc tions in these rivers. GENERAL GRANT'S FUNERAL. Xew York, July 27. General Han cock, who has been designated by the secretary of war to lake charge of the funeral of uencral Grant, is busi ly engaged in arranging general pre liminaries. The later -features of tho ovent havo not yet been decided on. It is impossible, indeed, to tako any step toward arranging the details of the ceremony until suplemental in structions shall be issued by the sec- rotary of war, to cover tho changed condition of affairs since General Hancock was named the commander-in-charge. These orders were based on expectations that tho remains af ter lying in state here, were to bo transported to Washington, or some other place for burial. Under this arrangement tho great funeral pag eant would haTe passed in review of the people from tho Grand Central railroad station to tho city hall. The question now arises, shall thero be two grand pageants one on the ar rival of the body, and one in its trans fer to tho grave in Central Park: or shall thero be but one, and if so when shall that take place: General Hancock realizes that two great military parades cannot be mado successful, if they come too near together in point of time. "On tho length of time which is to elapse between tho arrival of the body and its burial," says General Hancock, much will depend in making arrangements for the military parade. It will be a question for consideration whether the body shall be received here by special corp3, and transferred from Forty-second street to the City hall, and the grand pageant deferred until the removal of the remains to the plase selected for burial." - j m Lokdox, July 27. The Observer says that the Russians now occupy Zulfikar pass. They are said to have been there a fortnight. It is said tho marquis of Salisbury knew of the oc cupation several days ago. There is much anxiety iu ministerial minds over the situation. It is believed to b2 certain that England will not' fight about Zulfikar. The Eussians rely upon this belief, but are said to be disturbed at evidence of Lord Sal isbury's popular strength. Whatever the issne may be, the news of the oc cupation of Zulfikar pass by Russian troops will surely create a sensation in London and throughout the Unit ed Kingdom. Hjxterlom Dhapprarancc. Last week a well-known merchant was missed, and has not since been heard from. Tho mystery shrouds his friends in anxiety and gloom. But if your dyspepsia, your rheumatism or jour liver complaint happens to disappear mysteriously, you are happy. To make them disappear use Brown's Iron Hitlers, the prince of tonics, which you" can buy at any drug store for one dollar. Loxnox, July 26. Tho Enropean press, ono country excepted, pays homago to Grant's memory. While the Austriau Hungarian pres3, says a Vienna dispatch, strives to do jus tice to his great qualities, and Bis marck's organ in Berlin declares that history will acknowledge that Grant's generalship saved the union, French papers arc filled with vindictive abuse and reprints of Hugo's disgraceful in vectives. They can seo nothing in Grant but tho president who with held his sympathy from Franco in her wanton attack on Germany. Belief and cure is what St. Jacobs Oil brings to tho rheumatic and neu ralgic sufferer. Naval officors are not allowed to have their wives with them at foreign stations. Tho policy of the United States toward foreign countries is strictly peaceful. Louistille Cou rier Journal. The Ileantj of Yonth.
