G. G. Roberts, because of the scare

Dalles Times-MountGineer, sent a
flat-boat loaded with wheat to the
Cascades Monday. She arrived at
the upper landing at the locks in ten
hours, was unloaded on drays and
the cargo taken across the portage
and placed in boats on the lower
river. This is practical solution of
an open river, and might have been
successfully tried years ago. Mr..
Roberts is the first one to open the
river to free navigation below this
point, and we hope others will follow
his example.

A good many Astorians have been
for the last six weeks getting circu-
lars from San Francisco telling them
if they'll send a photograph they'd
get for nothing a fine S35 crayon
portrait, the only condition being
that they exhibit it and see that it
was suitably framed. The thing is a
fake. Send photograph and you'll
get reply that the picture is nearly
finished and that they can frame it
cheaper than any one else, and if
you'll send SIS you'll get the picture
in a nice frame, etc. It's a good
game to let alone.
