Pacific Farmer. The scenery along
the Columbia was arrayed in its best
''bib and tucker for the special occa-
sion. The boat made one stop of fifteen
minutes at Menaluse island. This bar
rem rock and sand pile lying in the mid
die OF the Columbia has been made
famous by the fact that it is an old bury
ing grounds of the Indians, and also by
the tomb of the late Victor Trevitt, an
old time printer and eccentric character
of an early day of Oregon. The tomb
and monument of this man will perpet-
uate his name for long years after the
great men of our present day are forgot
ten, situated as it is on that lonely rock,
surrounded by the mighty waters of the
Columbia and guarded by the decaying
bones of hundreds of the natives who
were inhabitants of the land in his early
day. From this island of bones to The
Dalles was but a short run, and here the
delegates were met by the band and es-.
corted to the Umatilla house where they
were made to feel at home and were en-
ltertained by Col. Sinnott's famous story
iof George Francis Trains trip across the
Columb mbia river by walking on the backs
of salmon in an early day.
Arlington Record. Much valuable
work was accomplished during the
session, notably among which was the
Thorough consideration of the temporary
portage question, resulting in the pass
Age of unanimous resolution, pledgipg
the earnest support of the journals of
this state in favor of temporary portage
from Cello to The Dalles, to be con-
structed by appropriation from the state
by its next legislature. The members
visited this point in a body and were
readily convinced that the time is now
and had long been ripe when, in justice
to the people of the Inland Empire and
the state in general, the matter should
no longer be delayed.
Hillsboro Independent. At O'Clock
p. m. the boat touched at The Dalles
dock, where the visitors were met by a
great company of citizens and escorted
by brass band to the Umatilla house,
which is TO be our home while we stay.
The house is large one, well managed
and in every way comfortable. Notwith-
standing the sudden arrival of over a
hundred guests they were each assigned
rooms within a space of twenty minutes.
The dining-room is large one, capable
of seating two hundred guests at time.
To us who have for lifetime, say thirty
years, lived in the Willamette valley,
this visit is wonderful revelation. The
Inland Empire has been written about,
but to realize what it is, one must visit
it, or read figures. 1t is a wonderful
region undeveloped. But of its capabil-
tiles another chapter must be written.
The Oregon editors were banqueted at
l)Spokane, and are expected in Portland
from the Sound tonight.
! A few days ago a neighbor democrat
intending to squelch Boss Sinnott with 8
poser said: How is it Boss that the
wool growers of Ohio are crying out fol
an increase in the tariff on wool, while
Sherman, Foster and Mckinley are de-
claiming away in the east not to tampel
1 with the tariff as it unsettles trade
The Boss promptly replied, the tariff OIL
wool is all right it is the tsriff on rags
that must be raised. The Yankees are
so smart they have learned to make
clothes out of rags in one season.
