ASTOEIA. OREGON:
FRIDAY JANUARY 17, 1690
City and CeuMty-OfBcial Paper.
NEEDED AT OXCE.
Hajob Hakdbcky's report, pub
lished elsewhere, indicates clearly that
as a matter ot economy congress can
not afford to allow tho usual dilatory
procedure, but should make immedi
ate appropration that the work of im
provement may be resumed by the 1st
ot liarch. Major Handbury points
tkk out, and our congressional dele
Cation can reinforce his statements
ad cite the personal knowledge of
the numerous senators and represen
tatrrtc who visited the work last sum-
In this connection the following
from the Oregonian is4o the peint:
The urgent need of an immediate
appropriation for continuing work on
the Columbia river jetty, as set forth
ia the recent special report of Major
Handbury, engineer in charge, does
not seem to be understood in Wash
ington so well as it should be. On
amotion of Mr. Hermann, the house has
asked the war department for infor
mation in relation to the matter. Be
rood this, there is no sign of activity
or interest on the part of the Oregon
delegation. It should not be difficult
to comprehend the extreme urgency
of the case. Once understood, our rep
resentatives should, one would think.
leave uo ineaus unexhausted to afford
relief. In short, not only the prompt
and economical completion ot the per
manent work, but the preservation
and safety of the elaborate ami ex
pensive temporary work uceasar
thereto, depends upon the continuance
of construction during the present
summer. This will not be possible if
the appropriation is not made till the
passage of the river and harbor bill,
Bear the close of congress in August
or September. That will be too late
to make contracts for this season, and
the damage anticipated will probably
be done before next.
This is the nature of the difficulty:
In order to transport the rock for the
jetty, a temporary railroad has been
built on piles three miles out on the
bar. Part or the rock tilling about
these piles has been put in, but not
enough to protect them from the ac
tion of the waves. More than that,
the piles will themselves decay and
the iron of the track rust, as time
goes on. It the work can be contin
ued without interruption, the present
piling can be filled with rock, aud the
remaining mile and a half ot jetty
built during this se;ison and the next,
which is about as long as the tempo
rary tramway can be expected to last
It the work'lies idle during the sum
mer, the waves will probably knock
the unprotected tramway to pieces
next winter, and there will be the cost
and delay of reconstructing it Be
sideSj every mouth's delay involves
loss in the use of an extensive and
costly plant ot pile drivers, locomo
tives, tugs, barges and engineering
paraphanalia of all sorts, which are
.needed for other government work as
soon as this can be finished.
The funds available for this work
are about exhausted, and the only
wonder is that the money has lasted
so long. The estimate for 1888 was a
million dollars, and half a million was
appropriated. The estimate for 1889
was $1,200,000. The river and har
bor bill failed, and the department
got nothing. The half million ot 1888
had to be spread over two years and
made to cover the cost ot a good deal
of preparatory plant, as well as ot the
work itself. AVith these meager means
the whole appropriation to date is
leas than SSOO.OOO the work of build
ing the jetty is more than half done.
The estimate for this year's work is
$700,000, which if it isn't cut down by
congress, and if the work isn't ex
posed to deterioration by delay,
will nearly complete it This
is pretty well for a work, the original
estimate for which was $5,500,000.
The work has been economically done
so far, because it has been carried on
continuously, without tho interrup
tions and delays usual in government
construction, in spite of the failure of
last year's appropriation. But that
failure has made it impossible to con
tinue the work till next fall, tho usual
timo of passing the river and harbor
bilL The only escape from delays
and interruptions which will cost the
government a great deal ot money,
besides delaying tho opening of the
moath ot the river, is a special appro
priation this winter. Somebody in
Washington ought to see to this.
State Senator Seabonr's 1'isli Hill.
Seaborg's fishery bill was taken up
in the Washington state senate last
"Wednesday, and tho Pacific county
oanneryman made his maiden speech
on this bill. He said that the Oregon
legislature had passed a similar law
last winter, but governor Peuuoyer
had vetoed it lie believed it wjls a
good law, and that Oregon would pass
oe like it next winter, and he also be
lieved that governor Penuoyer would
not be there to veto it. There had
been considerable trouble between
Oregon and Washington fishermen,
and he thought this bill would meet
all the requirements. The bill Avas
passed unanimously.
Still Solid in the Middle Columbia.
While the cold Aveathor on tho low er
Columbia is steadily relenting the
freeae-up on the middle river as stead
ily continues, and not the least indis
wosition for a break-up is manifest
jReports indicate the ice in the river
tteoaing harder and thicker with each
ght, and an-opeu river for some time
ianot expected by river men. Ore

Congressman Wilson of Washing

service in his state this Aveek, and the
postoffice department is gradually in
creasing the service. In answer to his
appeals mail routes have been ordered
from Seattle to Willapa, Wash., and
return six times a week. Another
route, which is considered a very im
portant one to a large section of coun
try, is from Oysterville to this city six
times a Aveek, and another from Oyster
villc to Nasel, three times a week.
Says a Colfax, Wash., dispatch:
There has been a continuous fall of
snow, Avith short intervals, throughout
the Palouse country for the past three
weeks. It reached its climax to-day
in an additional storm, wind accom
panying ihe snow and piling it up in
many places in great drifts. As near
as can be estimated, about two feet of
siioav has now fallen, and if the storm
continues this country will experience
the severest winter for many years.
Drifts tAventy feet in depth are re
ported. The mercury is a little be
low freezing, and consequently there
is no suffering or difficulty in feeding
stock, but cattle depending on the
range will probably sufler it a chinook
