VISIT THE DALLEs.
Messrs. j. G. Day and j. F. Kennedy
Arrive on the Regulator.

]. 6. Day, ST., and J. F. Kennedy,
treasurer for the contractors, arrived by
steamer Regulator last night and were
met by CHRONICLE reporter. Both
men are very affable gentlemen and,
contrary to the general rule of the age,
were not found to be mysteriously Sc
cretive, but on the contrary, were in
clined to answer every pertinent ques-
ton candidly and civillY. Our CORES
pondent yesterday pretty well covered
the field and little remains to be said at
this writing. An instance, however, of
the Day contractors methods may not
prove uninteresting. These gentlemen
are California bred and are disposed to
go into anything on gigantic plane, and
the Cascade Locks is their third govern
ment contract for large public works.
1t will be of interest, then, to say that
the derricks in former use on the con-
tract are but toys, compared to the ones
used by the Day contractors, which are
all portable. The shaftsof the largest is
so feet long, with cables large enough to
anchor the largest movable obstacle.
1t is capable, in connection with the
powerful engines, of lifting weight of
forty tons.
The cement used all comes from Ger
many and has stood every test, as to
fineness, tensile strength and crushing
strength.
Mr.. Day, in answer to a question as to
the supply of rock at the new quarry,
said there was enough there to build
several canals as large as the one in
course of construction.
The road to the quarry uses two miles
of track of the q. P. line, which was
granted them by that company.
The course of Herman creek will be
changed at the quarry, to secure many
Of the huge boulders for use in the canal,
some of them being as large as an ordi-
nkry dwelling house.
For the coming winter it is proposed
to use dynamos and furnish powerful
lights and run night and day shifts.
Finally Mr.. Day promised surprise
for us, in giving out the fact at an early
day that boats could safely go through
the locks in advance of completion.
This is Mr.. Days first visit to The
Dalles. He likened it to California, in
many particulars which with him, is
probably the acme of praise, saying that
the climate differed most, this being
like New England, while California is
more tropical. Messrs. Day and Ken
nedy left for the Cascades this morning
on the Regulator.

personal Frealsg as to Comns.

The late earl of Essex was buried in
coffin of oak designed twelve years
ago by the deceased nobleman himself,
who was a prominent member of the
Funeral Reform association, says the
Philadelphia Bulletin. It had what is
called "open trellis work. around it and
was filed with choice herbs and ever
greens. There have been many people
in recent years, some of them prominent
in other ways, who had their coffins
made to order long before the approach
of death. Maybe the originator of the
fashion was Lord Nelson, who used to
keep standing upright in the cabin of
the Victory a coffin that an admirer had
presented to him one birthday ami
versary, and in this coffin his lortlship's
remains were at last put to rest.

Rock Crusher Ordered.

The city council met last night in a
special meeting, at which number of
the revised ordinances. were read and
adopted. The committee on streets and
public property, with power to act on
the rock crusher scheme, reported that
they had entered into a contract jointly
with the county to purchase 81 400
rock crusher, with capacity of crush
ing 100 tons day. The order wss ina
mediately placed through A. NJ. Filloon
& Co., and it may be expected in week

Ben Wilkes went to Umatilla today to
fire for while.
Engineer Layell of Albina was in the
city the early part of the week.
Hugh Farmer came down from UNA
tilla Tuesday and returned yesterday.
Ed Morgan came in with the sos off
of the work train Saturday evening for
few repairs, and returned early Mon
day morning.
The steam shovel and work trains
have moved to Mosier. Several train
loads of dirt have been taken. to the
Des Chutes, and are still a-going.
Engine 541 is beginning to look quite
neat since the old-time fire boy, Cong
don, has taken possession of the bright
works. Mr.. Congdon takes pardona-
BILE pride IN wanting everything around
him to look bright and shining.
Fireman Reese, from the Heppner
branch, has taken lay-of for few
days, to enable him to accompany his
wife to Portland, where that lady will
undergo medical treatment. J. S.
Brown is firing in Mr.. Reese's stead.
Johnnie Osborne has been doing some
vigorous securing on the SAG. Johnnie
is a wide-awake fire boy, and is pretty
we'll posted on cab work, and we pre-
sumo from the amount of coal he show
els over the road his appetite is fair to
average.
Ben Wilkes has Browns place on 388.
Wilkes and Ready are lucky in catching
the helper engine for the last several
trips. Wilkes has been changed around
81 much in the last few weeks that he
is bewildered and sometimes he mad
vertently pays for ''settin' 'em up"
under the apprehension that he is some
body else.
Landreth, the good old soul, the
''Hoosier boy,' is doing the hostling act
temporarily. Curious facts will often
follow one to any pursuit. We lately
learned that Curly used TO be profess
sional "bronco buster,' though he
failed in a noteworthy instance where he
was bucked off the hurricane deck, irri-
tating his feelings a good deal and his
trousers a good deal more, whereupon
he was advised to take passenger en-
gine, as less risky.
Engine 547 is perhaps the handsomest
on the road, of which Charley Evans
and Jack Carson are the ruling divini-
ties. The interior of the cab shows the
result of much thought and painstaking
work. 1t is provided with an air whis-
tie, instead of the time-honored gong. as
a signal from the bell-cord. A guage
lamp has been reconstructed out of an
old air guage, neat looking glass hav-
ing been inserted on one side, artfully
arranged to reflect the figures upon
every guage in the cab, while the brass
works upon it shine with dazzling
luster. The walls are adorned with four
different views of the Reed geyser. two
fine looking glasses, etc. The running
board is handsomely carpeted.

WITH FULL FURY.
The Storm In the English Channel
Renewed With Unabated
VigOr.
All Traffic Between the Ports of Ca.
lais and Dover Has Been
Abandoned.
The Loss of Life During the Past Few
Days Is Estimated at Two
Hundred.

LONDON, Nov. 21.-The gale in the |
English channel has resumed with fury.
The boats running between Calais and
Dover are storm bound at these two
ports and vessels which are arriving at
Dover every hour report having expert
enced the most fearful weather in the
channel and in the North sea. The dis
asters and fatalities are reported on all
sides and wrecks of vessels are to be
seen off every part of the coast.
The ifeboats have been working
gallantly night and day and
have succeeded in saving large num-
ber of lives. The storm has also caused
q great havoc inland and is continuing
its work of destruction. The Saffron
and Walden branch of the Great East
ern railroad is blocked with snow, and
snow has also stopped all traffic on the
Great Northern railroad between Ash
well and Harston. Near Ashwell,
railroad train is imbedded in 20-foot
drift of snow, and gvng of 100 men
with the snow plow have been at work
all day trying to get the way clear.
The total number of lives lost at sea
during the past three days is estimated
at 200.
| Eight fishing boats belonging to Hast
ings, each carrying crew of from five
to eight men. are still unreported, and
| but little hope is entertained that they
have survived the storm.
Off Cletherhope, County of Lincoln,
eight vessels are ashore. The body of
| Edward Moore, a well known Stafford
shire farmer, was found frozen in the
snowdrifts at Scarborough.
! A quantity of wreckage belonging to
various vessels has been washed ashore
| at Yarmouth
The gale ragged with terrific force all
night, and many more boats are reported
missing.
| Channel traffic is now stopped at all
points and many passengers who have
been waiting since Saturday to cross the
channel haveabeen put to great incon-
venience.
!, Another large portion of the pier at
Calais, France, was washed away, and
the piers at Dieppe are also so severely
injured that vessels cannot enter the
harbor.
The body of Sir Robert Morier, late
British ambassador at st. Petersburg,
who died ON Nov 16 at Monteux, on the
lake of Geneva, has been awaiting al
Calais since Saturday for the weather to
moderate sufficiently to enable it to be
transported across the channel. The
funeral which was fixed for Monday In
England will therefore have to be post
poned.

Favors q Franco Russian Demonstrate ON.
PARIS, Nov. M. Floquet, formerly

long article which is published in The
Eclair, which censures the government
for declining the proposals Of the Rus
sian cabinet for combined demonstra-
ton of the fleets of Russia and France
off the coast of Morocco, as an effect on
the presence of the British squadron at
Gibraltar, and urges the resumption OF
negotiations with st. Petersburg in order

At AM EnglI.h ninner Party.


Everybody took lady and process
stoned down to the dining room, but
there the dispute began. The Duke Of
Shoreditch wanted to take precedence
and sit at the head of the table, holding
that he outranked minister who repre-
sented merely nation and not mon
arch, but stood for my rights and re-
fused to yield. In the gossip column !
ranked all dukes not royal, and said so,
and claimed precedence to this one. 1t

we might and did, he finally land inju-
diciously) trying to play birth and an
tiquity, and "seeing" his conquerer and
raising" him with Adam, whose direct
posterity was, as shown by my name,
while he was of collateral branch, as
shown by his and by his recent Norman
origin; SO we all processioned back to
the drawing room again and had per-
pendicular lunch-plate Of sardines and
a strawberry, and you group yourself
and stand up and eat it.
Here the religion of precedence is not
so strenuous. The two persons of highest
rank chuck up shilling; the one that
wins has first go at his strawberry and
the loser gets the shilling. The next two
chuck up, then the next two. and so ON.
After refreshment, tables were brought,
and we all played cribbage, sixpence a
game. The English never play any
game for amusement. If they can't
make something or lose something
they don't care which-they won't play.
