Meeting the Editors at the Locks by
Committees of Citizens.
AN ENJOYABLE TRIP UP THE RIVER
Proceedings OF the Association Dur
ing Its Session Held in This
Ciry-Oficers Elected.

d Tuesday was one of those delight
days which are usual in Eastern Oregt
Z. at this season of the year. The air WI
= free from smoke, and the rays OF the ST
;. were reflected in clear atmosphere. F.
/ miles, In every direction, the outline
the horizon could be distinctly marke'
: and more beautiful landscape could NJ
e be seen even under Italian skies.
Soon after O'Clock crowds OF ladle
and gentlemen, constituting the difterer
committees of citizens, could be see
I and at o'clock the whistle blew and tn
boat left the wharf for the Cascades. Th
trip down the river was very pleasan
one, ,and while some admired the grandeu
of the scenery, the ladies of the city KEEP
themselves busy in preparing the luncheon
for the editors. This was spread upol
several tables, and each was well supplied
with dishes of our most luscious fruits
AT IL o'clock the boat made the landin!
at the Locks, and the ladies and gentle
men proceeded to the depot and met the
members of the association as they
stepped from the east-bound train. They
then proceeded in body to the govern
ment works, and examined them thor
oughly. Many of our citizens explained
to the visitors the work gone, the plans
and the benefits accruing from the con-
tract system. The editors expressed them
selves as heartily in sympathy with an
open river, and the importance of COM
| possible date. Returning to the boat the
editors were seated at the tables, and par
| took of the repast with relish. The
morning ride up the Columbia, with the
invigorating breezes peculiar to the gorge
of the Cascades, gave these knights of the
pencil relish of the good things set be-
fore them, and they demonstrated their
appreciation of the efforts of our ladies
in this important branch of an entertain
ment to an Anglo-SaXon by partaking
bountifully of the repast. Too much
praise cannot be given to the ladies who
worked arduously for several days prev1-
ously to prepare the lunch, and made
themselves indispensable in waiting on
the tables. The officers of the boat dis
played every mark of courtesy and gave
freely of dishes, knives and forks and
other necessaries to the spread.
The trip up the river was truly enjoy
able, and, through the kindness of Capt
McNulty, stop was made at Memaluse
island, and the guests given-an opportu-
nifty of viewing the fleshless remains of
several generations of aboriginees. These
bones were considered sacred, and there
was not the least disturbance of any of
these relics.

o'clock in the evening the visitors we're
met by The Dalles City band and escorted
to the Umatllla House, where they will
remain until tomorrow evening as the
