ing Corning 8eason.
Washington, March 23.— The work
«1 improvement at the month of the
Colom bia river this summer w ill be
confined exclusively to jetty extension,
in accordance with the provisions of
the late river and harbor b ill. The
ch ief of engineers w ill soon award the
contract for furnishing stone for the
je tty and as soon as possible thereafter
<ielivery w ill commence and the jetty
w ill be pushed seaward.
I t has been finally determined to
abandon dredging on the Columbia
river bar. Major Langfltt is not im
pressed with what was accomplished by
the dredge Chinook last season, and in
d in e s to the opinion that the money
required for operating this dredge
m ight better be expended on permanent
work on the jetty. This view is now
concurred in by the department officials
W hat w ill be done with the Chinook
has not been determined. She may lie
up at a dock or be sent to some other
locality where dredging produces better
results.
The government w ill have to pay
more for stone this year than it die,
under the former contract, but the ex
act figure is not yet known, as all data
is not now at hand.
The engineers are not ready to com
mence construction of the Dalles-Celilo
canal. Major Langfltt has been direct
ed to submit to the W ar department
plan for utilising the $300,000 carried
b y the river and harbor b ill. I t is be
lieved this amount w ill be ample to
construct the first or lower lock.

Russians May Continue Their Retreat
When Harbin is Reached.
A. L. CRAIG,
in the Printing Line
St. Petersburg, March 24.— The pos
sibility that, if the* Russian army
should be unable to hold the lower line
of the Sungari river and Chunchiatsu,
it may be compelled to retreat not only
to Harbin, but also further westward
along the railroad, abandoning to the
Japanese Northern ^fanchuria and the
Russian maritime Amur provinces as
well, is the latest startling news from
the front.
y
.
The strategic weakness of General
Linievitcl^’s position as he falls back
northward is made clear by the Gunshu
dispatches to the Associated Press, in
which it is pointed out that, unl<
Chunchiatsu and the Sungari lines,
scant 100 miles below Harbin, can be
held, it w ill be difficult to maintain
position farther back before Harbin,
where, with the front of the army par
alleling the railroad, the practicability
of a turning movement to completely
sever communications and isolate the
army 6.000 miles from home is too ser
ious for Russian consideration. In view
of this possibility the dispatch alluded
to suggests the advisability of ynmedi
ately providing Vladivostok with war
munitions and supplies for a two years’
siege.
Washington, D. C., March 23.— The
president and Secretary of W ar Taft are
conferring tonight on proposed changes
in the personnel of the Isthmian canal
commission. It is thought that an an
nouncement of the removal of the pres
e n t members and the appointment of
their successors may be made tomorrow.
Chairman Walker and the members
« I the commission have practically de
cided that they w ill not tender their
resignations until requested to do so by
th e president. They feel keenly the fact
that during the recent criticism of their
management of affairs they have not
been requested by the president to pre
sent their side o f the case.
Their
friends declare that snap judgment is
being taken and they are quoting
against the president bis famous motto
“ A square deal for every man; no more W IL L A D O P T LE S S O N S T A U G H T
and no leas.”

Washington, March 24. — I t devel
oped today, upon inquiry at the War
department, that the government is not
likel) to begin construction of The
Da Use-Celilo canal, because the state of
Oregon has not yet conveyed to the
Federal government absolute title to the
right of way for this waterway.
The original act of congress authoris
ing the canal stipulated that no work
should be done until the state had pre
sented right of way to the government
free of cost. When this condition was
imposed by congrees, step« were taken
by the state looking to the purchase or
condemnation of the neoeeaarjr lands
and army engineers are advised that
most, if not all, of the land necessary
has been purchased or condemned. In
fact, last September Major - Langfltt
transmitted to the chief o f engineers
abstracts of title to this land.
Tb
abstracts were examined by the attor
ney general and approved as being suffl
ciently binding. The papers were then
returned to Major Langfltt with the
understanding that the state would
make payments for the various parcels
of land included in the right -ol way
8ince that time nothing has been heard
from Major Langfltt or from the state
and, so far as the W ar department
aware, this right of way has not been
purchased. •
U ntil the title is turned over to the
government, not one cent of the $300,-
000 appropriated last session can be ex
pended. Notwithstanding this situa
tion, Major Langfltt w ill proceed with
the prepare ion o f the project for the
of this money and work
w ill begin in accordance with this plan
just as soon as title to the right of way
rests in the government.
