We received to day the following
dispatch from Washington City:

We received to day the following
dispatch from Washington City:
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 13, 1890
To John Michel:
The committee has considered the Cascade Locks
Look for larger appropriations than ever before
Am in perfect harmony with senator's concerning
boat railway. BINsER Hermann,
From dispatch published some
weeks ago our people we're induced to
believe that Mr.. Hermann was not in
harmony with the other members of
the Oregon delegation in regard to the
appropriation for boat railway be-
tween this city and Cello, and that if
the amount asked for this improve
ment we're incorporated in the River
and Harbor bill it would kill the
MEASURE as far as Oregon is concerned.
In the same dispatch Senator Mitchell
was quoted as saying that the appro-
priatlon for the boat railway should
not be incorporated In the general bill
for public improvements, but should
constitute a separate one by itself. In
the dispatch received to-day Mr.. Her
mann positively states that he is in
perfect harmony with the delegation
regarding this matter, ard we may ex-
pect an appropriation for this part of
the river this session.
Our delegation have already intro
duced special measures for light
house near Astoria and for continua-
tion of tho work on the jetty, and
our citizens were fearful that the
locks at the Cascades might be neg
lected. The words of Mr. Hermann
are very encouraging, and we have
rsaton to hope that expectations will
not be disappointed. We have always
considered the completion of the locks
at the Cascades as very important,
both from its commercial significance,
and also from tho impetus it would
give to other improvements in the
great river. If the produce of the
counties bordering on the Columbia
could once reach seaboard except by
means OF the railway monopoly the
growth md development of the region
would be phenomenal The state
would then realize the necessity of open
ing the river fully to the free naviga-
ton of the people, and the increase of
population would make the demand
most urgent.
Our people have come to the deter
mination to make an open river
and the forfeiture Of the Wallula land
grant vital issues in the political con-
tests Of the future, and will hold their
servants strictly to account in these
matters. They do not intend to die
tate to the congressional delegation,
but simply to find out who are friendly
to them and treat them accordingly.

The name of Hon. j. D. Lee is
mentioned in these columns to-day as
a candidate for governor. Mr.. Lee is
an excellent citizen and well qualified
for the position, If made by the con-
vention, his nomination will be very
satisfactory to the Republican party,
and the ticket would be strong one.

1t may be good party tactics to op-
pose the admission Of state of oppo-
site political predictions, and this
seems to be the plan marked out by
the Democrats in congress regarding
the admission of Idaho and Wyoming;
but it is not honest legislation. The
Dakotas and Washington were kept
out of the union for years in the
same manner. The interests of the
public should be above PARTY di,ta-
tion, and if a territory has sufficient
wealth and population to be state, it
should be permitted to arss ne the re-
sponsibilities without any inquiry
being made regarding the political pre-
dilections of majority of the citizens.

Harney county is great sufferer on
account of the severity of the past winter
Marion Templeton, who resides in Harney
valley, not far from Harvey city, wrote a
private letter recently to his brother j. II
Templeton, of this place,in which he said
"There are more dead cattle in Harvey
county than Crook county ever contained
of live cattle. John Devine is reported as
having lost half of all he owns, or $4,000
head Every ranch or feeding ground is
ornamented with dead cattle. | counted
75 head in one place all lying dead on less
than three acres of ground" Agreeable
to the facts above related, We of Crook
county have comparatively slight cause
for complaint at our losses.

WINDOWS DEFENSE.

The San Francisco Chronicle says:
When Secretary Window came before
the house committee on coinage,
weights and measures to advocate bis
bill for the purchase and deposit Of
silver bullion as q basis for the issu-
ance of certificates he found himself,
perhaps to his own surprise, put on
the defensive. He took mp the obiec-
tions raised against his bill and at
tempted to answer them, but it must
be conceded that he was not brilliantly
ceessful.
In speaking to the objection that
the bill made commodity of silver
and degraded it from its high position
as a money metal, he said he thought
this was sentimental objection.
What did he mean? Is he entirely
ignorant of the distinction between
silver as merchandise and silver as
money, or did he think the committee
did not understand the difference? The
objection is as far removed from being
sentimental one as could we'll be
imagined. 1t is pure, clean-cut bus
mess proposition. The silver men in
sist upon the dual standard; upon gold
money and silver money with a fixed
ratio, and when Mr.. Window seeks to
substitute silver bullion certificates OF
Auctuating value for silver money he
says the objection to his plan is sem
timental one.
Proceeding, he said that he did not
think it would Le prudent to raise the
coinage limit, particularly as the Bland
bill had not tended to bring silver any
nearer to par than it was before the
passage of that act. But Why's Not
because the Bland act is inefficient, but
because successive secretaries of the
treasury have obeyed it grudgingly
and under protest; because for four
years a president of the United States
did not cease to recommend to congress
the suspension of silver coinage; be-
cause the government has been carried
ON in the interest of gold men, the
creditor class, and because there has
been studied effort on the part of
that influential class to discredit silver.
The secretary asserted that his purpose
was not to degrade silver, but to bring
it up as nearly as he could to an
equality with gold, but if he be sincere
his ignorance of the silver question is
simply colossal.
1t is understood that the committee
was not influenced in any degree by
the secretary's arguments. The silver
men in both houses will probably
unite upon the bill being prepared by
the senate finance committee, which
provides for the monthly purchase of
$4,5O0,0OQ worth of silver bullion,
and the issuance of certificates against
this amount, redeemable at any time
in gold or silver at the option Of the
holder, and possessing full legal tender
quality. This is step in the right
direction, that of free coinage. The
people do not want coin, either of gold
or silver, if they can have certificates
with a metallic basis which possess
all the functions of coin. 1t is hardly
necessary to call attention to the diff
ference between this proposition and
that put forward by MIR. Window,
which provided for certificates having,
necessarily, fuctuating value, and
not being legal tender.

One of the occupants of the Good
cottage, near Lake Gervais, on
July Is, an elderly lady was very
fond Of taking care Of fowls, and
had raised nearly hundred chick
ems aud ducks. There were all
killed by the storm. The lady had
also made 3 nice lot Of son soap, of
which she was very proud. The
sosp had been left on board by the
side Of tho house, and. Of coune,
was carried away by tho wind.
The occupants Of the house, II
will 5e remembered, took refuge in
the cellar when the storm was seen
coming. All were more or les In
jured and their clothing torn from
their bodies. 1t was pearly half an
hour before all were release,i, more

Her soft soap has probably die

mains OF her ducks and chickens
were found here and there within .

house. The idea that tornado
