Prominent American Visitors.

Mr.. Lo, the poor Indian, and number of
his relations. came down ON the Dattes City
Friday night for an interview with Register
Geohegan in regard to their lands. The
outfit was headed by Chief Smear, an old
renegade, who still nurses the haliucinatioa
that he is a bigger tyee than the president,
and he proudly refuses to enter into conVei-
sation with the paleface except through a
body servaut who travels with him. With
the aid Of Dr.. Smith. who made first-class
interpreter, the redmen made known their
wants, but they had so faint conception of
just what they wanted, that nothing definite
was done. As near as can be learned, white
settlers are becoming quite plentiful in the
vicinity of their lands and they are afraid
that they will lose everything. ''Smear"
or ''Skair," the old chief, is almost blind
with eye, and will soon be looking for
claim III the happy hunting grounds. There
There being no boat up Sunday, they tarried
all day on the river bank, filled with deep
disgust and not much Of anything else,
as they had .'halo muck a muck" and "halo
chicamun," and their only food was a few
suckers, which they cooked over a fire on
the bank. From romantic point of view,
the last of the Klickitats are not in the
same class with the "Last of the Mohicans''
about which Cooper wrote so beautifully.

The sentor also had inserted an approp-
ration for $250,O00 for the commence
ment of tue boat railway at The Dalles
rapids, with power given to the secretary
of war to contract for completion OF the
work. provision similar to that for the
canal and locks at Cascades. The sena-
tor says the appropriation for the mouth
of the Columbia will virtually complete
the work, and place 1t in such a condi
tion that 1t will not suffer until another
appropriation can be made He hopes
the $150,000 appropriated for the Lower
Willamette and Columbia rivers, in addi-
ton to the amount being expended by
the city of Portland, will continue the
work without loss until another appro-
priation can be secured. The provision
for the boat railway secures the immedi
ate commencement of the work. its
prosecution without interruption, and Its
speedy completion. Under the provision
made, the boat railway will probably be
completed at the same time the Cascade
locks are completed.
Senator Dolph says there is misap-
prehension in Oregon about the contract
system. Under the provision adopted by
congress, contracts are let for the COM
pletion of the work, to be paid for as the
appropriations are made. The appro-
priations for the work thereafter are made
annually in the sundry civil appropria-
tion bill, and not every two years in the
river and Earbor bill. The work must
proceed under the contracts without
reference to the question whether the ap-
preparations are made or not. Contracts
under similar provisions for other works
have been let at saving of from 25 to
33 per cent. He says, if he can hold the
senate amendment in the conference COM
mittee, the problem of opening the Co
lumbIa river is solved and secured for an
early day. Tue senator says he did not
succeed as he would have liked in in
creasing the appropriation for the Stu
slaw Harbor. on account of the engineers
report, and that be had TO beg harder and
longer for the small increase for that
work than all the others. The Yaquina
appropriation would have been further |
increased, but the committee were not |
wiling to appropriate the whole amount
to complete the improvement, and |
divided the amount, leaving $4,000 for |
the next river and harbor bill. Senator |
Dolph secured the provisions In the bill |
for an examination of the upper Will |
annette for new project and improved |
navigation, and of Yaquina bay, with
view to securing twenty five feet of water
on the bar. The senator feels greatly |
elated over his success in the committee.

Goldendale Sentinel: G. A. Schroeder, an
old German living about three miles nortis
east o. this city. went to neighbor's house
with whom he had had diifcnlty and raised
an ak threatening to strike, but did not do
SO. The man against whom he made the
threat, Fred Rodlof. came to Goldendals
and had him arrested. The old man gave
bail and during the trial that followed
seemed to be beside himself talking and
acting in a strange manner. At the close of
the trial he went to his home and went to
bed. The court sent for him the next day
but he pleaded sickness and the officers re-
turned tor instructions, and were told to
bring him into court. In company with
DR.. Stewart the deputy, e. G. Alvord, re-
turned to the house and loading the
old gentleman into hack brought him
to the court house. he had several fits
along the way, but he is subject to them and
was not thought to be dangerously i'll. He,
however, intimated to them that he had
taken poison and upon Investigation being
made it was ascertainea that he had dis
posed of about three grains of morphine.
Dra Ssawell and Stewart were called and

Ast orian, Tuesday: The pleasant weather
Of the past few days has given the railroad
contractors an opportunity to get every
thing in good working order and active
work has commenced. There are six
camps besides the tunnel outfit, comprising
1000 men at work on the road and the
clearing gang has nearly ten men ready for
the graders. During the past week num-
Der of teams have been busy carrying sup.
plies to the front and clearing roads. The
ties will be ready for delivery by June first
and the seven ships of railroad iron now on
the way are due in Astoria July 18th. The
contractors say they propose to have the
road completed in time TO moye this years
grain crop and are rushing the work as fast
as money and men can do 1t. Work will
also be commenced on the Young's bay
bridge, and as the Astoria Portland road
now owns the Astoria & South Coast, they
have commenced operations, and cars are
now running from Astoria to Seaside. The
road is developing rich country and land
is advancing rapidly. The road is sure to
go this time, and its early completion will
make material advance in real estate
values.

Baker City Inquirer: A protest with
twenty signatures has been received from
citizens OF Malheur county living In the
vicinity of the place where the murder of
William Eumbert was committed. These
citizens denounce the action of the county
officials in asking for militia company
to guard the prisoners as ill-advised, un
necessary and inexcusable. They declare
that there was no mob organized to hang
the murderers; that no citizen refused to
assist the sheriff; that the statements of
the person who carried the story of the
mob are unworthy of notice, and that no
call was made upon the citizens to assist
the sheriff in protecting the murderers
from the vengeance OF the mob, even had
there been amob. The list of signers OF
this protest is headed by Charles Becker,
of Westfali, Malheur county, very
prominent and wealthy stockmen of that
section.

Importance of portage railway at The
Dalles. There will he between 3O,O0O,O0O
and 35,OOO,0OO bushels of grain to ship
this year from the area drained by the
river named and upon whose bosom that
grain should 60 to sea. That l,OOO,OO0
tons of grain now costs $6,000O00 to ship
TO market With portage at The Dalles
this rate would be reduced about one-half
and thereby leave $3,OO0,000 in the
pockets of the people, that now go into
the Golfers of the corporations to aid them
in buying our congressman off from urg-
ing appropriations TO open the river by
constructing portage railway, as the
state of Oregon has done at the Cascades
of the Columbia, and thereby saved tens
OF thousands of dollars to the people on
the lower river, whose products are not a
tithe compared to the products of the
upper Columbia and Snake river basins.

The View italian ministry.

ROME, May 12.-The new cabinet is
still incomplete, bu. thus far the follow
ing named persons have accepted port
folios: Signor Giolotti, premier and
minister OF the interior; Lecave, public
instruction; Perazz,, treasury; Sonninio,
finance. The office of minister of war
was offered to Pelloux, but he viii! prob
ably refuse to accept the portfolio. It is
thought that minister of foreign affairs
will be offered to Breni, and perhaps he
will accept that important position. In
TIE new government Perazzi is a member
of the right, and all of the newly appoint
ed ministers belong TO the left.

Miss Hamill's Recital.
From Wednesdays Daily.

The entertainment given by Miss Hamill
and her pupils last evening in the basement
of the Methodist church attracted a fair
audience, and each number was loudly ap-
plauded. Miss Hamill is a master of the
rules OF elocution. and, while her voice lacks
in volume and depth, her conception of
character is almost faultless and her ges.
lures very expressive and graceful. The
pupils did exceedingly well, and some were
worthy of especial mention. Following is
the programme:
