Councilman Dunbar is preparing for the
Olympia Legislature, and will doubtless do
good service to his constituents. They want
IA court; he will bend his energies to this
end. Something should be done to relieve
klickitat from enormous court expenses.
We should exceedingly regret the loss of
klickitat from this district, but hope some
means may be found to aid them and yet
keep the district united. Yakima should
be added to this district with court at Gold
endale.
Leaving Goldendale, behind Schuster's
fast trotters, we reached The Dalles in four
hours, this at the rate of eight miles an
hour, mountain and all. The Dalles since
the fire is rapidly being rebuilt. Main street
was nearly all destroyed. Sinnot is putting
up a fine hotel on the old site, and from its
appearance twill be one of the finest in the
State. Smith is rebuilding the old Empire,
and it is also fine building. Ben korten
escaped the fire, and is the same genial soul
as ever. The town is wonderfully improved,
lively and one of the rising if not the live
liest town on the river
The business of the upper country is Won
derfully increased. One is impressed by the
immense amounts of grain and freight pass
ing down the river from the Walla Walla
country: that there is a great country be-
You'd the mountains; that Eastern Washing
ton will soon be Washington unless the rail
road is built across the mountains or the
Sound country in direct communication with
them. As it is, the progress and wealth of
that country is greatly retarded by the great
expense attending the shipment and many
transfers of grain down the Columbia, as in
deed | am told the expense of transportation
nearly equals the value of grain at the place
of shipment.
The locks at the Cascades do not progress
very rapidly. The sureties are now trying
to save themselves from loss upon an aban-
doned contract. 1t will be glorious day
towards the development OF the future great
State of Washington when the mighty Co.
lumbia shall be free and open to navigation
and the locks at the Cascades and the Dalles
built. If any one thing should cause us
with anxiety to hope for Statehood at an
early date the attainment of this through
our State Senators and Representatives at
Washington should do so As mighty a
river as the Columbia should not virtually
as it is-be owned by, and the people of as
great Territory as Eastern Washington be
dependent upon, one or any great corpora
ton. As it is we are, and shall, rs Ter
rtory, remain powerless as constitutional
beggars upon Congress to aid in these great
measures, which concern our present and
future welfare. More anon.

THE "ARK" FOR SALE.-Sherif's notices
posted on Main street inform the public that
the old ark captured by the authorities last
week, is to be sold on execution on the 18th
of this month. Last Thursday the owner of
the concern, j. Keets, was brought before
S. ID. Maxon, Justice of the Peace, and tried
on four counts of selling liquor in Vancouver
without proper license, convicted on all four
counts, and was fined $50 and S7.l5 costs
on each count. He was also fined $50 for
keeping bawdy house. The fines and costs
not being paid, Keets was remanded to jail,
and an execution was issued against Keets,
and the lark" with all its furniture, was
taken and tied up by the sheriff, and will be
sold to satisfy the execution. The women
connected with the outfit went to Portland
last Thursday night, and it is rumored car
ried off one of our youthful citizens with
them. The prompt action of the Vancouver
authorities has broken up this vile den COM
pletely. 1t has been pest among the fish
cries and the whole length of the lower Co.
lumbia for some time, and no one would
have mourned had it been run down months
ago by some passing steamer.

HIT AGAIN.-The Portland Standards
correspondent at Gervais, under date of the
I'd, sends the following item: Very little
sickness here at present, but still this is a
fine field for doctors, as it takes but short
time for some doctors to ''raise" in their
profession. But two days ago DIR. Hatch
came to this place a stranger; being man
of great ability it only took two days stay
with us to ''raise" him so much in the esti-
nation of the people that we observed a suit
Of clothes well stuffed with straw, every
feature of the face being portrayed, mounted
with stove pipe hat. The figure was sus-
pended about sixteen feet from the ground
on scatiold near the depot, with the fol-
lowing sign hanging from the feet; "Dr.
Hatch, alias DIR. Atkinson" The doctor
feels very much fattercd, and seems to think
this is the only place in Oregon where they
know enough to appreciate man Of his
ability.

COUNTY RoADs.-At a recent term of the
District Court at Kalama, Judge Hoyt held
that the record of the County Commission
ers in granting county road should show
all the jurisdictional facts, as the posting of
notices, number and qualifications of petit
TONERS; that the Commissioners Court be-
ing one of limited jurisdiction Prescriptions
of regularity would not control; that with
out such proof before the District Court
upon charge of obstructing highway by
maintaining gates thereon, proof of statu-
tory road could not be made out. The rec
ords of most of the counties for many years
are therefore defective. In view of this the
the commissioners of Clarke county have. in
order that parties interested may not be
taken by surprise, ordered notice, which APP
pears in another column of this paper. The
Legislature at the next session should legal
ize all these roads.

Sunday the steamer Trdre'er took an excur-

turn the boat was whirled broadside by the
current into narrow passage in the Clacka-

rocks for nearly two hours, when it was
finally loosed and foated into deep and pla-
cid water. For long time it was thought
the steamer would so to pieces, or at Leaf
get seriously injured, but she escaped with
only few rough bruises.

The NEW STOCK sPEcuLAIlONs.

The new combination method of oper-
ating in stocks which Messrs. Lawrence
& Co., Bankers, N. Y, have inaugural
ed, is attracting unusual attention in
financial circles, by reason of its re-
markable success. A customer in Pro-
vidence, invested nine times and made
over $1,000 in three months, by using
from $50 to $500 capital. BY this sy-
stem, orders from thousands of GUS
toners, in various sums, are pooled in
to one immense capital, and operated
as a mighty whole, thus giving to each
shareholder all the advantages of vast
capital and shrewdest skill. Profits are
divided every 80 days. Any amount
from $40 to $4,000 can be used in
Messrs Lawrence & Co.'s combin-
ations with equal proportionate success.
Sl5 will make $40 profit in the mouth.
5000 will return $1,000, or 8 per cent.
on the stock, and so on as the market
varies. The new circular gives "two
unerring rules for success' and shows
how any one can operate profitably.
