Each epoch calls for new agents,
writes General Sherman in recent letter,
"and should the year 1900 call for new
men, the Grants, Shermans and Sheri-
dams will fail as signally as did the st.
Clairs and Hulls in 1872, and the Woods
and Worths of 1S4G As long as our
country is in the ascendant scale, men
will rise equal to any occasion, but when
the time comes for decline, then no per
suna effort will avail OF succeed. Ohio
has succeeded Virginia. Now look out
next for Iowa and California You seem
to be gathering data Of the past better
the present and the future.

Memorial to Congress.

The following has been sent 10 US tor
the purpose Of obtaining names. The
memorial does net specify the exact pur-
pose Of the appropriation, but 1t Is SUP
posed that the locks at the Cascades are

it hand and glove:
To the Honorable the Senate and Hossse Of
Representatives. IN Congress assembled:
We, your memorialists, citizens of Ore
gon, Washington Territory and Idaho,
respectfully but earnestly pray your hon
orable body TO take into consideration the
peculiar difficulties under which We have
so long suffered, hedged in and forced,
as we are, 10 communicate with the world
through ono gateway, that Of the Colum-
bia, in its wide passage through the Cas-
cade mountains
We respectfully urge that justice to
q population occupying an empire
of more than 900, 600 square miles, one
boundary Of which is within 100 miles Of
deep water, where ship or steamer Of
1900 tons may receive its cargo, demands
the earnest prosecution OF the work so
long under way f0r our relief.
We take pride in presenting to your
honorable body assurances that in the
production of wheat and other grains, and
in the gathered comforts Of agricultural
homes, both in qu-atity per acre and
quality, we can vic with the most favored
soils upon the globe, and only ask a
through highway and privilege Of trans
portaticn apon the Columbia river, where
without repeated transhipment our pro-
ducts may reach market and leave profit
to labor.
Your petitioners be- leave TO represent
to your honorable body that the appro
pristions granted from time to time are
largely engrOssed in maintaining efficient
superinfendsnce and machinery, which
would not be augmented by the employ
ment Of much larger working forcr, and
that economy as veil as immense increase
of 61r necessities In all respects, calls for
the completion Of this work by the gov
ernment.
To this end we, citizens Of Oregon
Warrington and Idaho, earnestly pray
that the appropriations for the pursuance
of this work be increased 10 S7J0, 900, the
sum advised by the government engineer
in charge And we viii ever pray

A HIGH ROLLER CoNINC--The Nr-
giil,ia Enterprise says that John S~eeney
will in few days 20 to Salt Lake to open
a big faro game. He is a member Of
strong syndicate, and he intends to give
the high rollers Of modern Zion bigger
limit than they ever had. Salt Lake has
4 reputation OF having the best-bloodsd
gamblers on the CO ntinent, and the Neva
da boys who 60 over there will have
chance to win OF lose heavily. The al
vent of a sage brush high roller in Salt
Lake will be an interesting event. Dur
iny the last twelve months the tsro ex-
perts froa Nevada have not been very
high On the roll They have unbounded
nerve and unlimited willingness, but not
much of the rhino The sack collapsing
stock deals of the ComstOck seem 70 lave
drawn most Of the nutri,nsnt out Of the
sage brush gambler. A man with we'll
regulated disposition who sticks to bust
ness can always pull an assured compe
tency out of q game, provided he let's
