THE PORTAGE ROAD.

The contract system will undoubt-
edly furnish speedy relief to the pro-
ducers of the Inland Empire in the
vicinity of Wasco and Klickitat coun-
ties by removing the obstructions to
navigation in the Columbia at the
Cascades. But the object of an open
river is not attained until all impede
ments are removed in the great artery
of commerce from its highest naviga-
BILE waters to the ocean, and to accom-
plish this there should be united eff
fort for aid-from the state govern
ment-to overcome the rapids from
this city to Cello. A corps of govern
ment engineers have recommended a
boat-railway as the proper improve
ment; but, judging from the time oc-
cupied in carrying on the work thus
far at the Cascades, it will take fully
fifteen or twenty years before this
would be completed. In view of this,
we believe the next Oregon legislature
should appropriate sufficient amount
to build and equip a portage road
around these Instructions. 1t may
cost 100000; but when it is taken
into consideration that this would
benefit every county in Eastern Ore
gon-except Wasco-the sum could
not be expended to better purpose.
It must also be borne in mind that
the region west of the Cascades re-
ceives appropriations from the state
treasury at every session of the legis-
lature for the support of public insti-
tutions, while very little. if anything,
is ever received east of the mountains
This portage road will not nearly bal
ance matters between the eastern and
western portions Of the state, aad as
the burdens of taxation are distrib-
uted pro rata, the benefits arising
from appropriations should be proper
tional.
In few months the biennial ses-
sion will convene IN Salem, and it Is
time that the papers published in the
counties to be benefited by the portage
road should be earnestly advocating
the matter. Public sentiment is easily
aroused on this subject, and the press
is the propelling force. Legislators
will subserve the interests of their
and the people should be
made acquainted with the most feas-
ible means of improving the Columbia
river above this city.

At Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 12.-The 400th
anniversary of the discovery of America
was fittingly celebrated In Philadelphia.
Solemn pontifical mass was celebrated at
the Catholic churches at 10 O'clock, by
Archbishop Ryan, assisted by Chancellor
Loughlin and the clergy. In most of the
parishes similar ceremony took place at
the same hour. This afternoon at 2
o'clock, 1900 girls of the schools and con
vents held celebration at the Academy
of Music under the auspices of the var
ious sisterhoods, the archbishop presiding.
A mass meeting of citizens at the same
place this evening will be presided over
By Bishop Ryan, who will introduce the

Hamburg, Oct. 15-At a meeting of
small shopkeepers it was resolved to day
in the name of 10000 destitute citizens
connected with the Hamburg trades that
state aid to the amount of 100000
marks was necessary to save the city
from Widespread ruin consequent upon
the stoppage of trade during the cpl
demic. The number of fresh cases to day
was 16, the number of deaths and the
number of burials 119. The hospitals
contain 662 patients.

she is Slowly Sinking.

WASHINGTON, Oct. II.-Mrs. Harrison's
constitution seems to be yielding to the effects
of the disease from which she is suffering, and
she is gradually growing weaker. Her
nourishment, consisting of raw eggs and beef
tea, which is SO important an element in keep
ing up her strength, is now taken in smaller
quantities. She rests quietly, as a rule, and
sleeps most of the time, but awakes exhausted
instead of being refreshed. The cough
which was distressing her at intervals, has
ceased, but this is regarded as an unfavorable
symptom. The disease is progressing more
rapidly, and the left lung is now involved
Tonight Mrs Harrison is fairly comfortable
Notwithstanding her unfavorable condition.

We have received several numbers
of a campaign publication called Amaer-
acan Industries, which is devoting its
columns to advocating British and
Democratic free trade. This may be
an American asdustry-largely in
dulged IN by Democrats; but il is
more helpful to English wage-earners
than to those working in the United
States. We have no doubt that such
periodicals are very popular in Great
Britain; but American citizens, who
believe in the supremacy of the Amer
ican laborer, should send them across
the ocean to our cousins in the old
country, to let them know that they
have earnest friends in this nation.
The figures of Commissioner Peck are
more instructive TO peruse, and will
make our people more in harmony
with free institutions ana better satis-
fed with the Mckinley bill.

The -MOuntainoer
EAoEs rs. FAoETIAE.

Our contemporary, the East Ore
qouia,a. has most ludicrous, or rather
Democratic, opinion of humor. Ii an
argument is presented which it cannot
answer, it takes refuge in the state
ment that It's opponent is humorist.
This may do to fill up a newspaper
paragraph, but the American people
do not believe that all the benefits ac-
cruing from the doctrine of protection.
exists only in the fancy of political
humorists. Judged from this stand-
point, the figures furnished by Com
missioner Peck, of New York, should
be classed by the side of Mark Twain's
"Innocence Abroad" or "Roughing It.
But this is too ridiculous to be enter
tanned for a moment by any sane mar;
and the Democratic party must con
tradict the facts presented in regard to
the adm inistration~ of national affairs
by the Republican party, or be placed
in the unenviable position of gong be-
fore the American people and asking
their suffrages on empty subterfuges
Governor Mckinley, Mr.. Peck and
others have placed safeguards around
the American industrial policy which
the claptrap of tariff reform cannot
subvert.
For the past thirty years the history
of the United States has been replete
with patriotism and wise statesman
ship, and this has been the golden age
of the republic. Threatened with dis.
solution by the most gigantic rebellion
of modern times, it successfully passed
through the ordeal of civil war, and
emerged out of the struggle with Its
credit unimpaired and without single
star torn from its flag. Burdened with
a debt of over three billions, its treas
ury bankrupt and its industries i'm
paired, in less than quarter of CEN
tury it has so far redeemed its national
obligations that its financial standing
is unexcelled anywhere in the world,
and its manufactures have been re
vived SO that its goods command ready
sales in all markets. To the careful
student there is only one apparent
cause for this prosperity, and that is
the wisdom exhibited by Republican
administrations. The policy of that
party has always been opposed by
Democracy, and during these thirty
years, on every occasion where Repub-
licans have attempted to advance the
interests of the people-whether by an
honest fulfillment of national obliga-
tions, the resumption of specie pay
ment, or protecting American indus
tries against the pauper labor of Eu-
rope-they have been attacked In
guerilla manner by Democratic enc
mics.
If our contemporary desires to de-
nominate these facts humor, it may do
SO; but every statement made can be
proved by the pages of unprejudiced
history. When wit and humor consist
of truth, then science is facetious, and
the hard, literal facts of very-day life
laughable farce.

The Mis.hevons shor.un.

Coast Mail: A woman was brought down
from Coos river ON Tuesday and carried on
litter to the Central hotel Inquiry de-
veIoped that it was Mrs. Chas Halbert, who
lives with her husband at Mcknight S
place. 1t seems that her liege lord had
been ont hunting that day, and on his re-
turn sat down on step or low box with the
rifle laying across his lap. Their little
child, about three years old was playing
about the yard and bv some means DIS
charged the gun, which sent the ball
through Mrs. Halbert's leg Just below the
knee and in front of this bone. The dam
age is not very serious. The wound was
dressed by DR.. Evans.

sl,rseshoe in a Tree.

Albany Herald: A son of j. N Combs
was saving stick of wood yesterday,
when the saw struck solid iron sub
stance. Investigation resulted in the DIS
coYery of wellpreserved horse shoe i'm
bedded in the heart of the oak stick. The
growth showed that the horse shoe had at
some time been hung in the forks OF the
small oak tree and that the wood had
year after year grown about it until it
presented the strange spectacle of horse
shoe imbedded in the heart of growing
oak tree. Mr.. Combs split the stick open
and searched diligently but in vain for
traces of the horse that had worn the
hoe.

BOSTON, Oct. 1.-THE Globe this morn

statement published yesterday concerning
Lizzie Borden's physical condition was not
true. Its basis OF belief was upon the state

also says there were other inaccuracies in the
alleged new evidence, which was sold to its

SPOKANE, WASH, Oct. II.-By jumping
into the whirlpool at the foot of the falls this
afternoon, an unknown man, supposed to be
c. D. Ebert, committed suicide. The place
is one of the most dangerous in the entire

channel into the basin, where it forms min
iature maelstrom. The suicide was witnessed
by Albert r. Anderson, who was crossing
the bridge at the time.

Judicial officers should have no re-

of the opinion that these gentlemen

There is wild enthusiasm all along

recollected that certain prophet in

cries. The most powerful forces in
nature operate without eferyescense,
and the effect follows SO closely upon

The Democrats of Oregon appear to
have the bitterest feelings against Mr..
Weaver because, at certain times, he
spoke of the party in not very compli-
mentary terms. This should make
little difference, when it is recollected
that Horace Greeley, who was in 1872
It's candidate for president, for long
years previously abused Democrats In
the columns of his paper, the New York
Tribune, in the plainest terms he could
use. When he changed his political
affiliations all his sins of omission and
commission were forgiven and forgot
ten, and he was considered sancti6ed
in the opinion of those who followed
the "time-honored principles. Time
works many changes, and it will be no
matter of surprise, if the Populists de-
velop strength in the election ID Nov
ember, to see General Weaver nomi-
mated for president by the Democratic
party in 1896. 1t would simply re-
peat the history of the party in 1872.

Columbus Day in the United States
will be celebrated by the school chill
dren, and the exercises will have a
tendency to inculcate in the minds of
the young the lessons of patriotism.
Every boy and girl in the nation
will feel proud of the privilege of
being born and of residing IN the great
republic of the west, and love of coun-
try will burn brightly on millions of
affairs in this broad land. When these
children grow to man and womanho cd
we hope the fires of patriotism will
never be dimmed, ,and that their citizen
ship will benefit society by the exercise
of habits of industry, sobriety and in
tegrity. The world is advancing so rap
idly that In the near future civilized
countries will settle their differences
by other methods than the sword, and
the coming generation of Americans,
from present indications, will need
more toilers in the lines of honest In
dustry on the part of men, and more
cooks and housewives on the part of
women.

Th, cruel shooting OF Miss Birdie
Morton at Mount Tabor by Burdette
Wolf, last Wednesday evening, fur
nishes more testimony of human de-
pravity. For some time the young
people had been engaged to be mar
ried, and for some reason Miss Nor
ton refused to keep further company
with Wolf. On the evening mentioned
the fellow attempted to force his
company on tie young lady while
she. in company with younger sister.
was gong to prayar meeting, and
he positively refused to walk with
him. At this, the ever-ready revolver
was discharged, the ball passing
through Miss Morton's right lung. and
she was carried to her home mortally
wounded. There is no possible ex-
cuse for this act, except insanity or in
herent viciousness, and whichever it
may be, the young man is an enemy
to society. That disappointed love
will turn to devillsh hatred is not con-
sistent with human reason, and if
Wolf has not ended his worthless life,
he should be punished in such man
ner that would furnish terrible warn
ing against any foolish or wicked lover
i'll the future following his footsteps.

Dedication of a Church Erected to Com
memora:e Divines Services.
A handsome little church, erected as a
memorial to the life and services of the late
Rev. William Shadrach, d. D., was dedi-
Gated yesterday and christened as the Fifth
Avenue Baptist Church. The beautiful
weather and the interest in the occasion
attracted many persons. The ceremony was
of interesting character and continued
throughout the day and evening.
The new edifce is located on Fifth ave-
nue. opposite Gist street, and presents a
neat and artistic appearance from an archi-
tecturaI point The cost will amount to
SIS, 900.
At the morning service Rev. Clarence A
Adams, of Franklin, Pa, preached the SER
mon, and the financial statement relative to
the cost of the building''was made byThomas
Corde, Treasurer of the Building Commit
tee. The choir, assisted by Mrs II. c. Fry,
of Rochester, and Mrs. o. J. Sturgis, of
Pittsburg, contributed appropriate music
In the afternoon Revs. j. X. Cramer,
H. c. Applegarth, W. A Stanton,
D. D., and other d1vines made
addresses on interesting topics,
and the pastor, Rev. A. j. King, led in
prayer. The collections during the two
services netted about $500 IN cash and
pledges. This will be applied to paying
the mortgage on the church property.
James Beatty was the architect of the
edifce, and the Building Committee con-
sisted of Rev. Thomas Chairman, Thomas
Hart, George Corde, William Werner and
W. W. Williams. The congregation numbers

DEDICATION AT HOMEWOOD.
Opening Services in Handsome Methodist
Episcopal Church.

Episcopal Church.

Episcopal Church was formally dedicated
yesterday, when three services were held
In the morning the dedicatory sermon was
preached by Rev. C. W. Smith, editor of the
Christian 1dooodte The subscriptions at this
service amounted to s., 900.
The afternoon services were conducted by
Rev. DR.. Miles, P E, and addresses made

and Rev. Mr.. Irons, d. d. The addresses
were principally on the way to build up
churches and enlist new members One
thousand dollars was raised at this session.
In the evening Rev. c. V. Wilson
preached the sermon and remarks were
made by DR.. Miller, the presiding elder.
The church is of stone aud brick and was
built at cost of 81 900. The design is
Romanesque and the church has a seating
capacity of 500. The pulpit platform is
deep, allowing sufficient space for a pipe
organ on one side and for the choir on the
other. The old frame church which has
been used for years will be turned into a
Sunday school room. The church was
organized in 1871, with IS members,
and it now has a membership of
$50, with Rev. O. A Emerson as its
proctor. The Young Peoples Association
of the church has contributed largely to its
support as well as to the building of the
new church. The stained glass windows
were furnished by this association and the
cupola by the Ladies' Aid Society.
