We received Photographic copies today

and canals to seaboard, and these are er-
titled, "For an open river from the Inland

but we want the locks opened first, and
the obs,ructions to navigation removed
before we think of whalebacks or other
means of carrying freight.

Elijah Davidson, who came to Oregon in

The filling in of eleven miles of bridges
and trestles, all about 200, at cost of
over $500,000, is one of the improvements
which the Northern Pacific will make to
its roadbed dnring the spring and sum-
mer. The bridge filling is to extend
along the entire line, but fully two.thirds
of it will be done between Hope, Idaho,
and Tacoma, and Tacoma aud Portland,

against Aborn to recover $1100 due for

bilked by him. The press is in the same
boat with the suckers it brought to the
blk. We hope the OregOnian will re-
cover the full amount with "smart
money" Such fraud as the old quack
should be shown up to the people, and If
he does not pay his debts should spend
term in the penitentiary.

dressed, though it Is not likely that it can
be saved.
Again the celebrated John Doe figured
in the police court this morning, for be-
ing drunk and disorderly. We do not
wish to cast any reflections upon any
man, but this same individual has fig
ured in every police court in the country
for a number of years, and his confrere,
Richard Roe, is equally popular in this
regard. In fact, these two individuals
have caused more litigation than any two
persons known to the Anglo-Saxon race.
Away back before the American revolu-
tion, they figured in English courts, and
have been convicted of different crimes,
