"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.
