LITTLE LOCAL LEGIS
LATION BY CONGRESS
Short Session Will Be Devoted
to Measures of Present'
Adminis!ration.
Washington. Comparatively lif.le
local leg skuicn for the Pacific North
west, will be considered at the ap
proaching short session of Congress.
In the" brief three months from De
cember 5 to March 4, Congress 'will
be obliged to pass all of the great
supply bills that provide for running
the government, . and when to thU
necessary program are added a few;
important general measures .that. wil:
be pressed by the administration, lit
tie lime will be available lor puielj
local legislation for any part of the
country. Therefore, most, of the pend
ing bills -introduced by the Senators
and Representatives from Oregon.
Washington and Idaho will Jail o.
enactment.
As a matter of fact, there will bt
little "more faan two months of ac
tive work in Congress this Winter.
Not much c-n be accomplished before
the holiday recess, outside of Vhe
preparat nn by committees of the big
bills that go on the legislative Blate.
The. recess itself will take out, two
weeks.-so that most ofthe active leg
lslatlng must be done between Janu
ary 3 and March 4.
If Congress canjies out the policy
understood to have been adopted at
the last session of passing an annual
river and harbor bill, the appropria
tions for the waterways of ihe North
west will overtower all other leglsla
tion of the winter so far as local in
terest is concerned.
The Columbia River, with lis prin
cipal tributaries, will be Included, but
how many other rivers and harbors
of the Northwest will be equally for
and 75 cent lvalues,
THAT'S ENOUGH

tunate cannot Be ascertained in. ad
vance of the meeting of the river and
harbor committee. Ceria h it is, how
ever, that no prjoects will receive ap
propriations unless appropriations are,
recommended by the army engineers.
There is not likely to be a big om
nibus public building bill at the short
session,, and the probabilities are that
there will be none at all, though Con
gress probably wil make appropria
tions for purchasing public building
sites which were authorized at the
last session. In this event the cities
of the Northwest, where sites were au
thorized at the last "session, will gel
the necessary money to conclude the
deals made by the Treasury Depart
ment. -

Astoria Plans O-iucinial to. Celebrate

Astoria To bring lrom their bejew

Idaho, Governor Bowerman of Oregon,
