TWO MILLION FOR
GILUMBIA WORK
Herthern End of State Fared Well
at Hands of Uncle Sanv-Much
Improvement Work In Sight.
PORTLAND, Or., Feb. 17. That
tho Columbia river improvements
fared well in tin? rivers And harbors
bill now before coiigross was the nd
vice received in Portland this week
from tho capital. A total of $2,153,
fiOO is proposed to bo spent on Co
lombia river work nnd items provided
for in the bill ore ns follows: Wcn
atchco to Rridgeport, $23,000;
Bridgeport to Kcttlo Falls, $50,000;
Celilo to 'Snake Hivcr, $90.0.00; at
!Tks Dalles, $600,000; Cascades can
al, $5000; Vancouver. $7500; below
Portland, including Willamette river,
$175,000; month of Columbia, $1,
200,000; panging, $1000.
If this money is appropriated, as
now seems likely, the improvements
io the Columbia during the coming
year will be lasting in their benefits
and will bo of great advantage to tho
-whole Pacific northwest The work
is .too important to be claimed as a
betterment by any ono state for an
open river from the inland empire
to, tho sea will benefit almost every
person living in the northwestern
states, more or less directly.
By clearing out tho upper river,
steamboat navigation will be aided,
with a good effect on rates to and
from the interior, while tho improve-
rnent of the channel to the sea from
tho Columbia will facilitate ocean
shipments both to and from the
Borthwcst states.
"to Exploit Oregon.
The Great Northern railway will
exploit Central Oregon and JAs sent
1wo men through that territory to
Sst data for bulletins and other rail
xoad publications that will describe
the country thoroughly and tell pros
pective settlers what they may 6x

licity and its resources, crop possi
bilities and general future will be
iold. The Hill lines are taking an
interest in Oregon that will mean
znach for the state. At exhibit rooms
in St Paul, tho Great Northern

exhibits are to be maintained by the
railroad company in Philadelphia and

O. A. C. to Celebrate.
Celebrating its quarter centennial
as a state institution, the Oregon
Agricultural college will hold the
most elaborate function ever given at
the institution at the close of the
college year. President W. J. Kerr
and tho regents have taken steps to
prepare a suitable observance of the
acwevementH ot the past quartor
eentury, and the faculty, student
tody and alumni will join in tho dem
"bnstration. During the past 2;
years tho institution has increased
itB holdings of land from 35 to 235
acres; tho buildings from 1 to 20;
faculty from 9 members to 04, and
lae student body from 97 to approx
xmately 1400. The great good to this
state resulting from the work of the
stUHtlon can hardly bo overesti
In the annual report of Master
"Ksh Warden McAllister, Intely sub
mitted, it is shown that tho 1009
Top of salmon harvested in the wn
iers of the Columbia river, Oregon
side, amounted to 17,004,097 pounds,
-which is n decrease of 858,549
pounds. The chief reason for tho de
crease is thought to be tho shorten
ing of tho open season by tho lciris
latnre. Blnebaek salmon alone show
