WHAT THE RECORDS SHOW.
The house of representatives
having resolved itself into a com
mittee of the whole, and having
under consideration appropria
tion bills, we quote from the
congressional record, page 2,458;
Feb. 25, 1898, showing the tire
less efforts Mr. Tongue put lorth
in forwarding the interests of
Yaquina bay. So energetic and
deeply interested was he in this
project that when his time for
speaking had expired, he repeat
edly requested and was granted
more time in which to support
it. Mr. Tongue Mr. Chair
man, I offer the following amend
ment: The clerk read as follows: "In
sert in line 16, page 77, after the
word 'dollars' the following:
'For improvement of Yaquina
Bay and Harbor; continuing im
provement, $150,000."'
Mr. Tongue Mr. Chairman
it will be seen that at the time
when the chief of engineers was
examined before the committee
on appropriations, the Secretary
of War had taken no action un
der this provision of the law of
1896. Since that time he has
acted under its provision, has di
rected specifications to be pre
pared, and has directed that ad
vertisements be made for bids
for this contract. -
Since the river and harbor ad. of
1896 was passed the work upon
these jetties has been practically
suspended. The government has
a full plant. Undoubtedly
this contract will be let within
the next 90 days.
The Chairman "The time of
the gentleman has expired."
Mr. Tongue "I should like
to have a few more minutes
time."
There was no objection.
Mr. Hepburn "What port is
effected by this amendment?"
Mr. Tongue "It is Yaquina
Bay. Permit me to explain in
answer to the question just asked
by the gentleman- from Iowa.
Yaquina Bay is not a large town;
it is not a work sought for by
great commercial gentlemen; it
is not being sought for by men
of wealth; but let me say, Mr.
Chairman, there will be no ex
penditure of this amount of
money anywhere in the United
States which will benefit so
many people who are working on
farms as the expenditure con
templated by this amendment.
Yaquina Bay is situated - on the
western coast of Oregon. There
is a railroad extending out 140
miles from Yaquina Bay, across
tnree lines 01 railroad and one
river that traverses the whole
ofi
the Willamette Valley.
Deepen this harbor, and all the
products of western and largely I
of eastern Oregon and the whole
Willamette Valley will have a
better opportunity to get to mar
ket. They will get to a market
for 7 or 8 cents per hundred
pounds cheaper than they do
now. llie completion 01 trus
improvement, and I speak ad
visedly, because I have studied
carefully the question, means an
increase of 5 cents a bushel for
every bushel of wheat raised in
western Oregon and largely in
eastern Oregon. It means the
same increase upon every bushel
ot potatoes, every ton of hay,
eyery hundred pounds of hops,
every box 01 truit, ana every
class of production raised in that
section of the country. ' ' -
The Chairman "The gentle
man's time has expired."
Mr. Hepburn "I ask that the
gentleman from Oregon may
for I
ques-
There was no objection.
Mr. Hepburn "How far is
Yaquina Bay from the mouth of
the Columbia River?"
Mr. Tongue "I cannot state
the distance, but judge some
where near 150 or 200 miles."
Mr. Hepburn "How far dis
tant from the Columbia River
does the road penetrate?"
I Mr. Tongue-'"'About 120 mile.
I This road, as it now runs
extends into a region, that con-
tains some of the finest timber in
the United States. If the im
Qrxtn orovement is completed, that
road will be extended into east
ern Oregon aud eastward into
Montana As at present sit
t 1 1 1
uated, the road is valueless, and
every farmer in Oregon is suffer
i ing by it. I want to say that
i there is no question before con
! gress in which the people of
Oregon are so interested and
upon which there is so much
anxiety manifested as there is to
get rid of the doubt that has
been held over the continuation
of this improvement. The Sec
retary of War has decided to go
on with the work, and I wouid
like to see this congress support
it."
Mr. Dickery '-I would like
the attention of the committee
for a few minutes. In my judg
ment the committee ought to re
ject the proposed amendment. In
my opinion this project is un
worthy the expenditure of public
money. There was expended on
this bay up to and including the
appropriation 01 August 17,
I894, the sum of $676,093.34.
The expenditure of that money
deepened the channel of entrance
to the bay from 7 and 8 feet, as
it was when the work began, to
12 and k when the work was
completed. (Mr. Dockery then
continues with lengthy details
showing how the frieght and
passenger traffic over the Ya
quina harbor decreased during
the work of improvement).
Mr. Tongue "Mr. Chairman,
one word in reply to the remarks
of the gentleman from Missis-
soun (Mr. Dockery). I do not
contend that under -the present
circumstances there is much
valuable commerce going through
Yaquina Bay. But I wish to
state bneflv some ot the reasons
for the existing condition of af
fairs. borne years ago, as 1 said in
my opening- remarks, a railroad
was constructed to Yaquina Bay
It was expected that boats would
be placed upon that bay and
operated between there and San
Francisco. xs soon as that rail
road was 111 operation and as
soon as the boats began to run
wheat went up in a single day
cents a bushel at Corvallis, the
heart of the Willamette Valley.
At the place of my residence,
within 20 miles 01 rortland, 150
miles from Yaquina Bay, there
was a rise in price of 4 cents a
bushel. We believed at the
time that the farming coininuni
ity of Oregon had received a boom
which would be 01 immense
value..
If Yaquina" Bay is improved,
then instead of taking wheat 100
miles northward, and 100, 150
to 180 miles southward, the
transportation can be accom
plished by one haul of the rail
road, which means, as I have
said, a difference of 5 to 7 cents
a bushel on wheat. It is true
we are not a powerful state; it is
true we have not many votes on
the floor of this house, it is true
we have not the same amount of
commerce as our friends along
j ttie Missonn river. But 1 re
j mind the gentleman tnat it is
j only a tew years ago since what
I is now a great state was unin
j habited except by the roaming
I bands of Indians. It was men
I and women from the banks of
the Missouri and from - other
states who faced the hardships of
a trip across the plains when
there were no railroads or steam
boats, when they had to cross the
desert and defend their camps
from the hostile Indians during
the night.
The chairman "The time of
the gentleman has expired."
Mr. Tongue -"I should like to
have five minutes more."
There wr.s no objection.
Mr. Tongue "In the morn
ing they had sometimes to bury
their dead in rude cofHns. They
crossed the mountains until they
reached this territory that
was in the hands of the Hudson
Bay Company, and, saved an em
pire to the people of the United
States. They are the people
who are asking this help.
"Why, Mr. Chairman, what
ever money we make we bring to
you. Our purchases are. almost
wholly from the East. The
plows with which we cultivate
have five minutes more,
want to ask him another
