River and Harbor Appropriation Dill
Will De Cut.
Washington, Jan, 10. Tho river and
hnrbor committee baa adopted tbo pol
icy of appropriating only (or waterway
which aro being partially Improved at
state or municipal expanse.
lteprcscntntlvu Williamson today laid
lxjforo Chairman Ilurton a long state
ment showing that tbo city of Portland
baa exeiiiled up to December n total of
$l,()UH,000 in channel improvement
(rum Portland to tho sen, mid that the
state of Oregon has appropriated $106,
000 (or building n portngo rood from
The Dalles to Culilo and $100,000 ml
dltional (or tho purchase of right of
way for a government canal between
these polntM.
In view of theso largo expenditure
Mr. Williamson urged tho committee
to dual literally with all Columbia
river project!.
Tho co n ferenco of Iteptiblican leaders
nt the White House todny, taken In
conjunction with tho announcement of
Mr. Ilurton, Is taken to mean that Micro
will Isj little or no appropriation for
rivers mid harlKim nt tills session.
Ilcforo bis con ferenco with thu Ho
publican leaders tho president talked
over tho situation with Mr. Ilurton ami
expressed in very forceful terniN his
conviction that it would lx) wise, in
view of the depleted condition of tbo
tniisury, to jtostpono tbo river and
bnrltor bill, mid to expend nny availa
ble surplus In carrying out a lilwrul
naval program. Mr. Ilurton has not
yet abandoned the Idea of passing n
river mid hurlxjr bill this session, nnd
bis committee will go nhcod with its
work, hoping to complete a bill by the
end of next week. The bill, however,
will Im- small, mid will provide only for
the more Important projects, cutting
out all small waterways which have no
real commerce, nml which are not sup
jortcd In nny wny by htnto appropria
tions. If such n bill In brought in, it will
provide for the mouth of the Columbia
river tho river from Portland to the
son and (or tho JUlIes-CoWo canal,
nnd mny itoxxlhly make some provision
(or tbo acquisition of tho canal nnd
locks nt Oregon City, provided the state
In willing to Iwar part of tho exjvenso.
Aside from these Items, however, them
seems nt this tmlo to Imj little prosK-ct
Mutt congress will do anything this ses
sion (or the waterways of tho North
Pacific.

Oregon Irrigation Projects to Receive
New Impetus.
Washington, Jan. 10. If plans form
ulated nt n conference today between
Fonntor Fulton nnd F. II. Newell, chief
of tho reclamation service, and his
assistants, J. II. Lippencott and Henry
N. Savage, shall be consummated ac
cording to cxcctat!on, tho government
will Ite able during the coming summer
to begin construction of two enormous
irrigation projects in Oregon, ono in
tho Klamath Ihtsln, costing $5,000,000
or more, the other on Malheur river,
costing $2,000,000. Senator Fulton,
met tho engineers, to talk over tho situ
atlon and ascertain Just what is stand
ing in thu way of construction of theso
great works.
It was agreed Mint three material ob
stacles miistl bo removed before tho
Klnmath project cun bo formally adopt
ed, notwithstanding it has already
U-en adjudged entirely feasible nnd de
clared to possess many attractive feat
ures. This project projco8 not only
to drain 13 wer Klamath mid Tulo
lakes, but to lower thu level of Upper
Klamath lake and to diminish the How
of Link nnd iost rivers by diverting
their watem Into Irrigating canals. All
these waters aro navigable and there
fore cannot !o used for irrigation save
by special act of congress. To removo
this obstacle, Senator Fulton will co
operate with Senator Hard, ot Cali
fornia, nnd endeavor to get tho latter'
bill passed through Itotli houses this
session. He anticipate that no objec
tion will bo raised.
