goat to the Second battlion of the Welsh

are entirely at loss to know what to do
with the royal goat, which introduced

The officers have no taste for goat as a

THE DAY HAS DAMNED.

1t is not difficult to predict the effect
to settlement. Eastern Oregon has for
years been under the ban of this unholy
grant, and she will spring forward, now
that her shackles have been removed
and take her proper place in the van of
the race. A strip forty miles wide south
of the Columbia has been so hampered
that only the even sections were open to
settlement. These even sections bear
the entire burden of taxation (other
than personal property and in conse-
quence the tax rate of Eastern Oregon
has been generally high, and its assessed
valuation law. The even sections have
built the roads, the churches the school
houses, have supported the county, the
school and road districts alone. All this
will be changed, and the assessment roll
will be largely increased, with cores
ponding reduction in the tax rate. Per-
sons who have heretofore had but a
squatter's title to the lands they occu-
pied, will now own it in fee simple. 1t
is certain also that immigration will be
largely increased, and that large areas of
heretofore wild land will be brought under
cultivation. Besides this the securing
title will place those living on their
lands i'll condition to raise money to
make improvements, thing they could
not do without the title. The future OF
Eastern Oregon has very roseate tinge
to-day, and The Dalles has received a
stimulant that will place her far in ad-
vance of any city east of the Cascades.
For us the period of depres sion will
vanish in the spring never to return,
and The Dalles will have such growth,
and such season of prosperity as she
has not known for years.

Something should he done towards
making the preliminary survey for a
railroad from here to the Fossil coal
fields. We understand a proposition
has been made to make this survey for
the sum of $1,000. This would give a
profile map, and would demonstrate
whether or not the road could be built,
and also its probable cost. With these
matters settled favorably, there would
be but little difficulty experienced in
getting capital to build the road. For
this reason we should raise the money
and have the survey made. 1t is stated
on good authority that the Fossil coal
(the best in Oregon) can be laid down
here when this road is built for $3.50
per ton. This coal should find a market
here, since with the opening of the
locks, or the completion of the portage
railroad, it could reach the markets of
the coast without being under the thumb
of the Union Pacific. With cheap fuel

With an abundance of money, very
low stage of water and remarkably
favorable season, but little is being done
towards completing the canal and locks
at the Cascades. Why the work is
neglected and the money allowed to lie
unused those in charge may be able to
tell but no other person can. From fifty
to sixty men are employed in all, OF
whom four are engaged in laying stone
in the locks, and about twenty dancing
attendance ON them. The balance of
the men are engaged in querrying stone
along the river, and in miscellaneous
work. Our Board of Trade should send
committee there to see just what is
being done, and the legislature will do
well to send a committee to examine
into the matter and submit a memorial
to congress. The work will never be
finished by the war department, and an
examination of it now will give the leg
islature some facts on which to base a
memorial. Four hundred thousand dol
lars to be expended, and four men at
work, is commentary more forcible
