% From the Shelton- Mason County Journal "Statehood" January 7, 1887 There is much being said on both sides in regards to our admission into the sisterhood of states. It seem to us that there can be but one opinion on this question. When we look around our territory and see the rivers which drain thousands of acres of rich agricultural land impassable simply for the want of a few thousand dollars to pull out the snags and clean the channel, then we realize what benefits we would derive by having three energetic members of congress to get our share of the Federal appropriation. To show the difference between a state and a territory in the eyes of congress it is only necessary to glance at the following appropriations just before by that body: The house committee on rivers and harbors have completed the river and harbor appropriation bill and it will be presented to the house before the end of the week The grand total of appropriations made by the bill is $7,158,250, while the total of the estimate submitted was $30,201,749. Among the appropriations are the following: For California harbors - Humboldt harbor and bay, $50,000; Wilmington, $50,000. Rivers - Sacramento and Feather, $10,000; San Joaquin and Stockton, and Mormon slough, $10,000. Oregon Harbors: Coos bay entrance $25,000: Yaquina, $50,000. Rivers: Canal at the Cascades, $100,000; mouth of Columbia, (new) $125,000; lower Willamette (to complete) $35,000; Coquille (at its mouth) $12,500. Washington territory - Rivers: Skagit, Stillaguamish, Nooksack, Snohomish and Snoqualmie rivers, and $10,000. Montana: Yellowstone river between Glendive and mouth of the river, $12,500. There are other things too that our people are interested in, and none of them more than the people of Mason county, viz: The settlement of riparian rights, the sale of school lands, and other matters of importance. It is to be hoped that nothing will stand in the way of our admission during this session of congress.
