CASCADES LOCKS.
Work to BE Suspended - Instructions
Wanted From Washington.
Oregonian.

Oregonian.
Work on the locks at the Cascades is to
be temporarily suspended, pending in.
structions from the east in regard to the
course to be pursued in regard to proceed
ings under the contract clause in the river
and harbor bill. There has been no one at
work there for some time, except gang of
stone. cutters, and the old appropriation is
about exhausted. A clause in the new river
and harbor bill provides in regard TO the
Cascades locks, that contracts may be en-
tered into by the secretary OF war for
such materials and work as may be nt ces-
sary to complete the present project, to be
paid for as appropriations may from time
to time be made by law, not to exceed in
the, aggregate 81. ,25O, exclusive OF the
amount herein and heretofore appropri-
ated." There are several different views
of the scope and meaning of the clause,
and Major Handbury will await definite in
structions in regard to the matter, as to
whether the work Is to be let as a whole
and completed 10 certain time, or whether
work is to be done only in prop rtion to
the amount of appropriations made from
time to time, or whether contracts can be
made for the completion of parts or classes
of the work, and whether these contracts
are to be made now or not until funds are
provided, and the necessity for each par.
tlcular class of work arrives.
1t looks as if one would hardly like to
take the contract to do the whole work
and push it to completion as fast as possi-
BILE and then wait the convenience of con-
gress and politicians to get his money. 1t
is, however, hinted that parties at The

under arrest. This contraband trade has
been allowed by all governments for years
and years to proceed unmolested. Everybody
knew that the importation of whisky by way
OF the French islands of St. Pierre and Mi
quelon was regularly conducted. The "free-
traders" as the smugglers are designated,
were backed by men of capital and possibly
OF rePute at the provincial headquarters. 1t
was their task to sail to the French group, off
the coast of Newfoundland, and there take on
board the dregs from the Boston dlstllleries.
This deadly stuff they carried down the gulf,
distributing it among the poor fishing villages
on either shore. Such portions as were not
salable below Quebec were reserved for Que
bee ltseli, but special opportunity for its
carriage into town had to be secured. While
awaiting chance to lard it the liquor was
usually concealed at a quiet resort on the Isle
Aus Coadres. La Minerve says. "1he
whole population nearly is in sympathy with
the smugglers, and in most cases are prepared
to defend them with arms in their hands.
Stories are told to glorify the bold outlaws.
In the villages their exploits are recounted,
and 1t is regarded as an honor to a parish to
possess any of these inscriptions free-traders."
