It Is going to require all the intluenco that the com bined delegations for Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho can bring to bear to sccuro provision in tho river and harbor bill for carrying on work on tho Dalles Cclilo canal. Chairman Hurt on, who baa heretofore been regarded as friend ly to this project, is now decidedly an tagonistic, and, if his present views prevail, no appropriation will bo made tor tho canal. In n letter which bo sent to Representative Williamson to day ho said: "I "am strongly disposed to think wo shall havo to omit any appropriation for tho DallcsCclllo canal. The total cost of tho plan would bo $3,800,000, and it is useless to begin with a partial appropriation. "Again, there are numerous other projects in Oregon, notably tho mouth of the Columbia, which will require large appropriations. Would it not bo will to try for the tinio tho portage railway that can bo completed at com paratively small expenso and would indicate whether traffic from below the falls would develop in sufficient amount to roako it desirable to canalize tho river for 12 miles at and near The Dallc97" To this letter Representative Wil liamson tonight made reply, stating that tho people of Oregon, Washington and Idaho arc not asking for a full ap propriation at this timo to complete tho canal, but only enough to start work, not over $500,000. Congressmen Jones and French are co-operating with Mr. Williamson In tho effort to convince Chairman Hurt on that tho government should at this timo make provision for tho Dalles Cclilo cana. If tho effort ultimately fails in the bouse and tho river and harbor bill should pass that body a re newed effort will be made by tho north western senators to have an amendment attached to the bill in tho senate, pro viding for commencing work on this canal.

Paris, Jan. 12. Japan bus informed Chile that further sale of vessels to Russia will bo followed by sutnumry punitive measures. This Information comes directly from tho foreign office, but has not yet been published in Parts. According to an official of tho office, Japan Is greatly irritated over tho mat ter, and has even gone no far as to hint broadly that tho Chilean coast would innko n tine target for Japanese war ships. At the same time a similar protest was made Jo the Argentine Republic, tn spite of the fact that such n threat might bo considered an offense against ho Monroe doctrine. Tho source of this information leaves no doubt as to its correctness. Dr. Motono, tho Japiuteno minister here, says ho lias no knowledge of any such communication on tlio part of his government. At tho sumu timo ho took occasion to criticise tho two re publics. A member of tho Japanese legation said that. It tlio United States should take no measures to prevent any further action of this sort, tt would not bo fair to Invoke the Monroe doctrine against Japan. Speaking unofficially, mcfiiliers of government circles say this Incident shows that Japan has grown so self complacent over her victories that she can run the risk of losing the good will of even tho United States. . . . .. f OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST - . -- .

Noble, in charge of examinations in Washing ton, explained the progress of work in that state. In brief, ho showed that government irrigation is not practicable on the Okanogan river, and Intimated that tho whole Okanogan project would be abandoned.
