LoweIl's Great Lawyer.

Gen Buffers voice is not so powerful
as it used to be. In fact, it is difficult
to hear him dozen feet away, though
he occasionally fires up and some of his
old time force presents itself. He still
relies considerably on the sympathy of
the jury, especially when he is defending
a comely woman. His method of argu-
ing his case is the same in substance as
it always has been. Plenty of wit and
humor run through his speech, and these,
with all the pathos his case will permit,
combine to make his always eloquent
pleas more effective. His favorite atti-
tude while addressing the jury is to brace
his broad shoulders against the clerks
desk. His hands are deeply thrust into
into his pockets; he seldom gestures

The Dalles will have grand celeb,

The Dalles will have grand celebra-
tion tonight in honor of the passage of
the portage railway bill, rejoicing she
hopes to see extended to Pendleton, La
Grande, Union, Baker City and the
balance of the Eastern Oregon string of
pearls, within the next week upon the
passage of Senator Raley's bill. We feel
that new era bas begun, an era of
prosperity and advancement, an era
wherein personal quarrels and chickering's
will be forgotten, an era where the only
question asked about any proposition
will be, is it for the interests and advance
ment of The Dalles and the county, and
this being answered affirmatively every
citizen will join hands in working for
that advancement. An era of measures
not of men; of public interests, not of
politics, an era of progress, of prosperity
of steady, permanent and rapid growth
fostered, encouraged and aided by every
citizen of The Dalles regardless OF
personal or political factions

A Big Book.

An enormous volume. thrice as large
as the bulkiest family Bible that ever
graced a marble topped table in coun-
try parlor, has reached the Capitol In
gold letters on its broad back are the
words, "History of Members, Second
Session, Fifty-frst Congress" In this
book will be recorded not the private
history of members, but all their public
acts. Every timea member votes, every
time he introduces bill or petition, and
every time he is recorded as not voting
or paired will be recorded in the huge
book, and future biographers will find
already prepared for their use a vast
amount of data. If the size of the vol
ume is any indication of its Importance
it ought to be preserved in a treasury
vault.-Washington Post.

STATE OFFICIALS.
ANOTHER FREAK OF NATURE.

Captain Lewis of the land office yes
terday sent telegram to the commits
sioner of the land Office at Washington,
concerning the instructions received yes
terday, which seem to leave out por'
tion of the act. A provision was made
in the bill by which the lands, under
certain circumstances could be purchased,
but the instructions state distinctly that
they can only be acquired under the
homestead act. 1t is true that taking
the instructions in connection with the
map, they in measure imply that the
purchase can be made, but this implica-
tion cannot be entertained in the face of
the direct assertion that they can only
be located under the homestead act. 1t
has been five months since first the de-
partment began to struggle with the
mighty proposition of understanding the
act and getting up a set of instructions
to the local officers, and in all this time
the combined intellect of the department
has not been able to express itself clearly.
1t is public misfortune that the secre-
tary is not well versed i'll the dead
languages, as anyone of them would be
in happy accord with his mental works,
provided it had only been dead long
enough The good old English language,
the best in the world to praise saint or
drub sinner in, is not copious enough
to properly convey the learned secre-
tary's ideas, or else there is woeful lack
of the latter. The whole series of alleged
instructions. which instruct nothing,
unless in the doubtful art of profanity,
is an aggregation of the inaninities
raised to the third power. The most
asinine clerk that ever got position
through a political pull could give the
head of the department odds, and then
double discount the intelligence patent
in the uninstructing instructions. The
commissioner in the first attempt left
his meaning ambiguous, and has en-
deavored to straighten the matter out by
confining himself to one branch of his
subject, but even in this he makes a
total failure. His ponderous sentences
are as shallow as the hundred and
twenty thousand streams of Bashra, and
as devoid of intelligence as New York
ward striker. The secretary should
profit by the advice of Fadladeen to
Feramorz and take course of treatment
at the Banyan hospital for sick insects,
the treatment to extend over the period
of his natural life. We hope he will
visit the coast with the president, for
truly, we would like to see him.

.peroep..ble chill in tn. Air.

The record for cold weather for the
winter was broken Wednesday morn
ing, when the atmosphere was intensely
frigid., The air was so full of frost that
the appearance of a fog was given. The
lowest point reached by the mercury in
this city, and reported, was 40 degs. be-
low zero. It required the thickest kind
Of clothing and vigorous exercise upon
the part of pedestrians in the early
morning hours to keep comfortable
At Shirley it was 40 degs. below zero.
A degs- at Eddington, 33 degs. at Sebec,
and the same relative report comes
from many other places in this vicinity.
The weather was the chief topic of con-
versation. During the day it grew con-
siderably warmer, but there was very
perceptible chill in the air, and late in
the afternoon it was again quite cold.
The night was very frigid.-Bangor

UNIQUE Pipe xayin<.

The Superior Water, Light and Power
company have been engaged for several
months in the work of extending the
twenty-four inch intake pipe from West
Superior to Lake Superior for water.
The entire distance from the pump sta
ton to the crib, which rests in forty feet
of water in Lake Superior, is 855 feet,
and 1880 feet outside of Minnesota
Point. The entire 1850 feet of lake
pipe was jointed above the surface of
the water and hung suspended in spaced
sings. The object was to cut the slings
and allow the entire section of more
than half mile to drop into the water.
It was not intended to attempt the
feat for several days, but the approach
of northeaster hastened matters. The
job was done hurriedly, but with distin-
guished success. When everything was
in readiness the signal was given, and
several of the lashings were cut simulta-
neously. The great black tube, 10, ,0oC
tons weight, instantly broke away evenly
and dropped squarely into position at
the bottom of the lake.-Cor. St. Paul

HELP OUR NEIGHBORS.

The Dalles in the midst of her rejoic-
ings finds time to urge that the good
work of overcoming the Instructions to
navigation in the Columbia be yet ex-
tended that all Eastern Oregon may
share in the benefits accruing from the
building of the portage railroad at the
Cascades. Wasco county feels keenly
the position of her eastern neighbors,
and will willingly bear an increased
burden of taxation to give them relief.
Another transportation route, down the
Columbia is worth more to the state
than dozen worlds fair exhibits, be-
cause it will make farming profitable in
Eastern Oregon, and this done the immi-
grafton will take care of itself. We hope
Senator Raley's bill will pass, for while
the sum seems large it is trifie COM
pared to the good that will result.

OUR GREAT DAY.

Yesterday was great day for The
Dalles. Early in the morning the glad
tidings flashed over the wires that Sena-
tor Watkins portage railroad bill had
passed. Ere the people had fairly real
lied that this measure, SO long deferred,
had passed, it was announced by the u.
S. Land officers that final instructions
had been received concerning the for
feited lands, and that on and after
March 18th filings would be received.
1t was strange coincidence that these,
the two most important of all measures
to this section, should both be accom-
plished on the samexday, and yet more
strange when it is remembered that an
open river and the forfeiture of the
lands have been waited for nearly twenty
years. Following on the heels of this
came dispatch that the senate had con-
Cured in the house amendment to the
portage railroad bill, and that the ap-
preparation of 5000 for the Tygh road
had passed and both bills only needed
the delicate tracery of his excellency
Governor Pennoyer to become laws.
And to crown all, as darkness came on
to terminate the happiest day in the city IS
history, the needed rain came down in
copious showers, giving promise OF
abundant harvests. 1t was a fitting
termination to the greatest day The
Dalles has ever known, day crowded
with such pleasure as seldom comes to
mortals after childhood, and if bright
dreams did not visit every pillow last
night, it was because dreamland could
furnish no brighter pictures than each Of
us had drawn. Let the day be marked
with white stone, and kept as pecul-
iarly our own.

Ewhat the Doctor said.
Pittsburg Dispatch.

"Keep your feet always dry and be on
your guard against catching cold at this
time of the year." said doctor 'sLook at
the list of deaths and at the disease that
kill people and you will take care of your
health if you value your life. George
Washington himself died from catching
cold. He staid out in December rain,
did not change his clothes when he got
home, took a cold, and had an attack of
ague, which was followed by the laryn-
gifts that ended his life. He would
probably have lived to be 10 or II years
older than he was at the time of his death
if he had not caught cold in the winter
time. Nearly half of my patients are
afflicted with troubles that grow out of
carelessness in regard to damp feet, chill
ly winds, and wet clothes.''

We congratulate the residents of the
Tygh neighborhood upon the passage of
the bill giving them $5 900 towards build
ing wagon-road over that wearisome
Tygh mountain. The road is badly
needed and in the very nature of things
was almost impossible to be built by the
county. A careful expenditure of the
money will go long ways towards COM
pleting the road, and no doubt it will be
spent to the best possible advantage.

1t pays to ''kick'' sometimes; Washing
toms surveyor general "kicked'' and
wouldn't make contracts for surveying
because, as everybody knows, the rates
weren't enough for a surveyor to make
decent wages. The result is Washington
gets an increase of $IOO, 900 in the appro-
priation for surveys. Oregon's surveyor
general went on, let contracts at the old
rates; result, despite hard effort for in
crease on the part of Congressman Her.
mann, Oregon gets no increase.

suggested that any person who had not
energy enough to visit the Pacific coast
should be eligible to the office of presi-
dent of the nation. Today the dispatches
announce that President Harrison and

is none the less gratifying, but what the

When the Planets Will Be Brightest.
At what time in 1891 will the princi-
pal planets be in their brightest phase of
the year?
Venus is now at about that stage. She
is the morning star, however. That is
to say, she rises and sets before the sun.
At about o'clock in the morning she
will be in view in the southeast, and will
be visible from that time until day
dawns. Two months hence Saturn will
be at his brightest stage. He viii rise
at that time in the east just as the sun
sets. Jupiter will be at his best early in
September, appearing in the southeast
after sundown.-St- Louis Globe-Demo-
