APPROPRIATION.
Portland, Oregon. October 23.
What is regards! as the most Im
portant conference ever held between
the Congressional delegation of this
state and the commercial interests of
Portland took place this week when
the needs of the state were discuss
ed for two hours and suggestions
made as to neeilel improvements that
require government aid.
Senators Bourne and Chamberlain
met with IS promlnont business men
and when the conference ended, the
Senators had pledged their aid to
secure as big appropriations as pos
sible for this state. Among the big
projects for which aid was enlisted
were the improvement of the Colum
bia River from Portland to the sea;
the free canal and locks at Oregon
City; the Cellio Canal and the im
provement of Coos Bay.
These improvements are expected
to cost about as follows; Columbia
River improvement, $13,000,000; $3,
700,000 for the completion of the
Celllo Canal; 2,70O,000 for the Im
provement of Coia Hay, and $4!fl,000
for the free canal and locks at Oregon

latter project, the state has already
authorized appropriation of $3000,000,
leaving only $156,000 to be furnished
by the government.
