the first fish to make its appearance in any
numbers, although there are few trash fish to
be caught the year round, especially if the
winter be an open one. This year the markets
have been we'll supplied with fresh fish, which
are caught in the many small creeks along the

THE PAUL MoHR ROAD ADoPTED.

The Portland Chamber of Commerce
an elaborate report and made long
speeches and listened to others and then
resolved" by vote of twenty to seven
to adopt the Paul Mohr proposition for
the dalles of the Columbia. This plan
contemplates road on the Washington
side commencing at or near Columb
and having it's western terminus oppo-
site Crates Point. The Norton line was
left severely out in the cold. Engineer
Bogue estimated that it would cost not
less than $641 900, which is wide di-
vergence from the estimate of Lieutenant
Norton. Another proposed line which
would parallel the present U. P. line
shared a similar fate. 1t is estimated to
cost 100000. This is the line proposed
in the Raley bill which it was said
would cost million. Still another line
was talked Of, the cheapest of the lot,
commencing at appoint opposite Cello,
on the Washington side, and ending be-
low Three Mile rapids The cost of this
line is estimated at $347 ,0O0 The line
auopCed Dy the cham Der OF Commerce is
estimated to cost s640, 900. The citizens
of Portland and others are asked to take
S3OO,0O0 of the first mortgage six per
cent. forty-year bonds of this Paul Mohr
company. These bonds are to cover all
the property of the company and the
company binds itself to have the road
completed within eight months from the
time when it shall be notified that the
full subscription has been made up.
The conditions on both sides are sub
stantially the same as those already pro-
posed by this company and need not be
repeated here. The road will undoubt-
edly be built sometime by somebody but
we shall be agreeabIy surprised if it is
ever built by any effort of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce If it could be
built with wind that body would un-
doubtedly let the contract forthwith.
But it takes money to build railroads, |
and if their generosity toward The |
Dalles, Portland and Astoria Navigation
company is any criterion by which to !
iudge their future conduct it will be
long time before that 1900, 900 will ma
terialize into the pocket of Paul Mohr

Mr.. Edison announces. the invention
OF an Improvement in electric railways
that will do away with the cable car and
the trolley. He says the. car will catch
its power directly from the rails and will
pick up the current through two and
one-haif inches of mud, be entirely free
from danger, cost only a third OF a cable
car road and perform every function
cheaper and better. Besides this, Mr..
Edison announces another important in
vention. He is building large electric

January lst German beet sugar will be

The subject of irrigation is receiving
share of public attention never given to
il at any previous period of the nationr's
history. The states west of the Rocky
mountains have several ably conducted
journals exclusively devoted to matters
'conaected with irrigation. and the con-
vehtion lately held at..Salt Lake City,
with others in contemplation. will do
much towards formulating some practi-
cal scheme for rendering fruitful vast
tracts of land in what is known as the
arid region. For the reclamation of
other lands the late report of the COM
missioner of the general land office fol-
lows the trend of PUBLIC opinion when it
suggests their transfer to the direct con-
troll of the several states in which they
are situated, subject to such restrictions
and limitations as would insnre their re-
clamation, and tlIe transfer of their title
from the the states, in the first instance,
to actual settlers, in quantities not to
exceed l60 acres to each settler.

Owing to reciprocity arrangements
with Cuba on the first of January next
the duty on flour will be so reduced on
shipments to that island that instead of
costing, as it does at present, $11.70 a
barrel delivered in Havana, it will cost
but $3.50. This reduction is expected to
produce demand for American flour
equal to the amount consumed, which is
more than 10, ,OOO,O sacks annually, and
already thousands of barrels have been
purchased in anticipation oi the open
ing of thi new market.

COULD HANDLE SIX HUNDRED TONS DAY.
Since it was opened on September %,
the portage has been handling about
ninety tons of freight day-sixty from
Portland and thirty from The Dalles.
With the new Baldwin locomotive in
service the road can handle 600 tons
daily, so the superintendent says. It
arrived last Thursday and is guaranteed
to pull six loaded cars up the incline.
The little eightrton engine, loaned to the
state by the government, did not an an
swer the purpose. As much as it. could
do was to push an empty boxcar up the
incline and then the train had to be
started with pinch bars.
Superintendent Farley has an idea
that the portage will pay for itself in
three years Heestimates the monthly
receipts at 81 sol and expenses at $1,000,

DEATH IN A TUNNEL

TOLEDO, O., Nov 28.-The Boston and
Chicago Express train, on the Lake Shore
railway, ran through the tunnel under
the Miami and Erie Canal on time this
evening. AT this side of the tunnel, not
getting the signal from the gnaItarget to
go ahead, 1t Stacked up. The south bound
express on the Flint and Marquette road,
supposing that the Lake Shore train was
out of the way, ran through the tunnel
and crashed into the rear of the train
ahead. An ordinary day coach for the
convenience of way passengers was the
last car OF the Lake Shore train. The en-
CINE plwoed its way through tue car,
until the pilot was more than midway of
the coach The passengers were MANNED
and scalded by escaping steam The list
of casual tits known now is as follows:
Susan Mccoy, Rowson, H., dead
Mrs NJ J. Mcdonald. New York, burn
I'd on the face aud hands; not fatally.
Her infant was instantly killed, and her
son, aged s. badly scalded, is dying.

G. J. Anderson, Riverside, H., bruised

me Curious in Numbers.

A lover of the curious in numbers has
figured out some interesting facts concern
ing the city of Berlin. The city has 2lC
miles Of streets, so that a person might
walk ten days in the German capital with.
out going up or down the same street twice.
If the l, 100000 inhabitants were TO turn
ont at grand review, and march in
double file, they would form a line $50
miles in length, column long enough 70
reach nearly entirely across France. II
the citizens. should all determine to start
on journey on the same day and at the
same time all the cars in Germany would
accommodate but two-thirds of their num-
Der. If formed in single file, each with
his hand on the others shoulder, the col
u IN would be nearly 1900 miles long. II
separated until only within speaking dis
lance of each ether, the column would be
human telegraph line long enough to reach
from Berlin to Calcutta, India-St. Louis
Republic.
