CASCADE LOCKS. n

CASCADE LOCKS, March %.
Editor Chronicle:
The wheelbarrow brigade, bound for
the worlds fair, passed through town at
IL 80 today. The outfit consisted of a
wheelbarrow, one woman and three
men. But let me state right here, az
regards the SO called female. we have our
doubts, because all wear pants. A slight
delay in their travel was caused by the
fact of their getting ditched about a
mile east of this place. The explanation
of the disaster was owing to loaf of
bread purchased from Mrs. 'B." of the
corner grocery.
After tugging along the distance
named the party found the burden to
be ''more they could bear. The rest of
their effects failing to equalize with the
bread, all was overtoppled into the
ditch. But in time all difficulties were
overmastered, and all proceeded ener-
getically in the direction of your city,
where in the course of few hours it is
safe to say you will ''meet them and
you'll greet Them in the old familiar
way. YoNsoN.

Union Pacific stealines.

A short time since, the merchants of
Arlington learned that they could save
about 20 per cent. of freight charges on
merchandise from Portland by shipping
through the Dalles, Portland and Astoria
Navigation company. Thereupon, j. w.
Smith ordered a carload of salt shipped
this way. The goods came in due time,
the Record says, with net saving
of $500, after paying the railroad
company the amount to which it
was entitled; but after the same was
delivered by the draymaz there Mr.. S.
was informed that the railroad had as
sumed to transact this whole business for
him, and that their agent here would be
held accountable for the full amount of
that company's charges, at full rates from
Portland to Arlington. Under this COM
bination of circumstances, Mr.. Smith
paid the over charge, but has not aban-
doned the idea that merchants and
shippers on this side of The Dalles can
save quite sum by patronizing cheap
river transportation that far. The leg
itimate charge in this little instance
would be: From Portland to The Dalles,
two-thirds the distance Is cents, from
Dalles to Arlington, one-third the dis
tance, 10 cents; but by adding $25, 90
steal the transaction results as above.
We are informed that some of the Con-
don merchants have been treated in a
similar manner. The matter will be
properly and speedily investigated.

stockings Kept BLACK.

Black stockings are apt to assume a
greenish look after repeated washings.
We are told that simple way of pre-
serving the color is to wash them in soap
free of soda, and in the last rinsing water
to add a tablespoonful of good vinegar.
Wiring them out and clap them into
shape. A hot iron tends to destroy the
color, particularly If they are wet

blankets, cooking utensils and gun,
and with horse started over the range
in the coldest part of the winter. Food
was scarce, and soon the horse was
turned loose to die. Three days later
the provisions gave out and the party
became desperate. 1t was bitterly cold
and the snow fell fast. The men took
turns breaking the trail, those follow
ing carrying the camp utensils. Starv-I
ing, the men chewed their moccasins, and
cut up their blankets to serve as shoes.
When the matches gave out fire was car
ried in coffee pot by Swan, who was old
and feeble Sometimes the men found
frozen rosebuds and leaves and ate
them ravenously. Swan gave out when
near the top of the Continental divide,
and then the devilish work began. Sew
eral stories are told, but the one most
generally believed is that each agreed
to climb the mountain and look for
signs of the agency, leaving Swan in
camp in a clump of trees. When they
left, Parker returned and struck the old
man a blow on the head with hatchet
and killed the others as they came in.
Bell, it seems, was bent on murder,
and had about made up his mind that
some one had to die to save the
others. He returned to camp and Par
ker assaulted him. A fight took place
and Bell succumbed. All that winter
Parker, ghoulish-like, remained with
the dead and subsisted on the choice
cuts from their bodies.
The tale is fearful one. He was ar
rested at the agency, but escaped and
was not again captured until 1888, in
Cheyenne. In 1856 he was sentenced
on five counts to eight years each, each
sentence to commence when the other
expired. He is an ex-Union soldier.

Victims of Bogus Lottery Tickets In This
Country and Canada.
According to the statements OF Chi
cago detectives who have been engaged
for over four months in hunting the
manufacturers of counterfeit lottery
tickets, stupendous scheme for de-
frauding lottery ticket purchasers has
been discovered. In every city, town
and village in Canada, Michigan, Indi-
ana, Illinois and the Northwest the
members OF a gang have operated their
clever swindle for about a year and
have come out of the game heavy win
ners. In all of these places persons
live who think themselves born under q
constellation of lucky stars and several
comets, and at every change of the
moon they have made investments in
lottery tickets 1t was to accommodate
these persons that the men who are
claimed to constitute an unlawful gang
have been working. But the tickets
they sold were for drawings that never
took place.
The end of the business came when q
plant Tor the manufacture of lottery
tickets was discovered at 28l and 283
Clark street, and Jacob b. Stanger, the
proprietor, was arrested and charged
with forgery. The arrest is the outcome
of the work of four months by the de-
tectives, who took up the case after w.
T. Henderson, OF Baltimore, attorney
for the Louisina Lottery company, had
done some work in the hope of detect
ing the ,defrauders. 1t is believed by
officers of the Louisiana company the
Rrst.issue OF counterfeit tickets was made
year ago, and since then and up to
the issue OF August last the northern
tier of States, the West, and Canada
have been flooded with these tickets.
The market having been kept well sup
piled, their sale at 81 each has netted
the counterfeiters a neat s1En.
The men interested In this scheme
have not confined their talents to the
Louisiana company, but have issued
tickets, it is claimed. on a number of
companies that do not exist. The de-
tectfwes confiscated at the Stanger shop
a fine photographic press, about $4,000
MantanZa tickets, December issue; 40,-
900 Vera Cruz tickets of December and
January issue, several large sheets of
Louisiana tickets without the numbers
and twenty engraving stones and sew
eCnl numbering machines. The plant is
valued at S. 900. The Vera Cruz tickets
were sold largely In the northwestern
part ,Of Chicago, the MantanZa tickets
over bars in the country towns OF Michi-
gan, Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa, while
the Louisiana tickets went into Canada,
Michigan, Illinois, and the Northwest.

If free and honest newspaper press
Is one of the pillars of national liberty
and national safety then 1t must be
acknowledged, in view of the Panama
canal developments, that the French
republic is far from being in firm or
secure ondition.-Boston Journal.
The facts concerning the Panama
Canal swindle prove to be more and
more disgrqceful as they develop. 1t is
now asserted as the truth that the
church was used to facilitate sales of
stock, and that the clergy received COM
missions for advising their followers to
invest. 1t is alleged that speculation
was most active even in the Vatican.
NJ. De Lesseps, who has been held up
as an innocent old man who did not
know what was going on, does not
maintain that character well in the light
OF recent developments.-New York
Advertiser.
WHEN we consider how much rascal
ity has already been uneaI thed under
the most unfavorable conditions, we
may be certain that the Panama scan
dal is destined, when thoroughly probed,
to make shfpwreck of multitude of
official reputations.-New York Sun.

READING COAL COMBINE.
Continuation OF the Investigation by th'
House Committee.

Confirmation oil the investigation Dy the
House Committee.
Tho House committee appointed to
investigate the Reading Railroad an
thracite coal combination resumed
Thursday morning in the Commerce
Committee room the inquiry it conduct
ed In to this subject during the recess in
New York, Philadelphia and elsewhere.
William H. Joyce. general freight agent
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, was ex-
aminsd. He offered in-ovidence letter
dated April IL last, addressed by him to
f. r Holden, chairman aof the anthra-
cite rate committee, New York, calling
attention to the fNct that during the
last year the Lehigh Velley Railroad
Company, through dts coal company,
had made with Individual operators con-
tracts for the purchase of their coal
upon a percentage OF the prices realized
at tide-water.
The Reading Company, the latter
added, had made similar agreements
with a number of miners and shippers,
and it was therefore necessary for the
Pennsylvania Railway to do likewise IL
IL were TO secure the pr0dnct Of collier
les that had heretofore shipped over
its lines. These contracts gave ship
pers for their coal 60 per cent. OF the
prices obtained at tide-water. The let
ter stated that the Pennsylvania Com
pany would therefore reduce its price
for carrying coal to tide-water Wit
ness said that the price over their road
was determined by the law Of supply
and dOmand
