We received the follow letter from Sen
aturC. W. Fulton, which explains itself:
United States Senate,
Washington, D C.. Dec 24th. 1903
Mr. Fred C. B «ker, Tillamook. Ore.
Mv D ear M r . B aker : I notice in your
issue of Dec. 17th, of the Headlight’’
you express great concern least an ap
propi iation shall not lie made by the
present Congress tor the improvement ol
t he entrance to Tillamook Bay and urge
the delegation to do all in its power to
secure such an appropriation. I fully
appreciate and sympathize with you in
y »uranxietv to secure the appropriation
I believe 1 fully realize its iniporiance,
not onlv to the people ot Tillamook, hut
to the stale of Oregon, liec.iuse the re
gion that will be accorn nodated t>\
Tillamook Bav, it improved as it should
be, is one of the i icncst and most pro
ductive in Oregon. No proposed im
provemeat is more deserving of recogni
t>*m at the hands of Congress than i*
Hie desired improvement of lillamook
Bav. I trust 1 need n it say to you that
every member of the Oregon delegation
will exert himself in the utmost degree
to secure a suitable appropriation tor
that work, hut I feel at the same time
that 1 r.hould frankly say to you that
the | n>s|>ect for such an appropriation
during the present session is not en
couraging. It was in doubt for some
weeks whether <>:* not anv river an I
harbor bill would he passed at this
session and it was only within the last
week that it was determined by the
leaders of the House to pass a bill, but
they are verv insistent that it shall carry
only a small amount and provide only
for carrying forward work that has [
already been commenced, and that no ;
new’ work shall he provided lor. If that !
purpose shall be adhered to and a suffi
cient number of votes cannot he secured |
to overcome it,then the new work in Ore ,
gon will liave to wait as well as in other |
states. I sincerely hope that the policy ,
( f excluding provisions for any new '
work will not prevail, and I can assure i
you that tile Oregon delegation will do
all it can to defeat any such program j
But we tnav be powerless to bring about ,
its dele it, and if we shall be, then ol I
course no appropriation for I he Tilla I
mook Harbor can lie hoped f->r at this j
session. With liest regards, I am,
Sincerely yours.
