A drummer who sold bill of goods at
! Cascade Locks gave rise to the rumor
that work was to commence imm ediately
. ON the.locks and canal. Cass, our val-
ued correspondent tells the reasons why
nothing is being done. The governments
has tied up the work with another
seemingly everlasting string Of red tape,
by refusing or neglecting to turn over
the plant to Day Bros.
The Arlington Record says: ''Now
that the legislature is in session let us
make long pull, strong pull and a
pull altogether for an appropriation for
a portage railway between The Dalles
and Celilo." To pull together means
that all the counties east of The Dalles,
should get out petitions and circulate
them at once among the people and
have every man sign them if they want
the portage appropriation passed, or
they may wake up and find that the re-
monstrance has got in its little work adj
vantageously.

An interesting case affecting steam-
boat men has been decided by Judge
Hanford of Seattle, in the suit of Me-
Kinnon VS.. the Oregon Improvement
company, in which the plaintiff claimed
I $50, 600 damages for bodily injuries
Judge Hanford in his charge told the
!. jury that where a public wharfinger has
steamers touching at his dock, the use
= pf that dock, as between himself and the
passengers of one of tho steamers, il
gratituous. That the wharfnger in euct
case does not incur the same liability
as to light and platforms that railway
or other common carrier does TO it's pas
sengers. but that it is sufficient that hs

in good condition. and that he is MOI
liable for an injury to one walking OF

circumstances that would render mum

Senator Willis is the object of consid-
cradle vituperative comment because of
bill which he has introduced in the
assembly providing that mo female
shall hereafter be employed, hired or
paid for servicess as clerk of or for the
legislature, of this or any other branch
or house, or of any committee appointed
by said assembly, or by any officers of
either branch It is well that all peo-
pie do not think alike about such mat
ters as this. The CHRONICLE is dis
posed to say, with all due defer
ence to the fair sex. that Senator Willis
bill should become law. Legislative
assemblies are especially political, and
the places within the gift of mernb nbers 10
be bestowed properly. belong to the vot !
ing class of society, and it is not within|
the province of woman in Oregon to seek
such positions. Had no scandals arisen
heretofore to afford cause for the motives
actuating Senator Willis in offering his
bill, there might be some excuse for the
criticisms of his course, but reasons
have existed, and conditions may ap-
pear to justify the present movement,
hence we shall hope to see it succeed.

is no more truth in the Undine story
than there was about the three feet of
snow which prevented bringing her

fore the vision turns out to be anything
more than bull and bear freak to pull

1t is undoubtedly true that "Gov.
Pennoyer is against the Raley bill this
year, Tor the dalles portage railway, to
be built by the state. He intimates as
much in his message. AS the govern
ment cannot be relied upon to build
this portage inside of forty years, it is
the duty OF the Inland Empire farmers
to personally, collectively, by alliances
through Oranges, and in every other
way, address an appeal to the governor,
courteously asking him to stand by them
now IN this, their time of need. If he
throws the measure overheard now, on
the pretext that Mr.. Hermann, or our
senators, did the same two years ago,
or at any former time. they might en-
ploy the same plea next winter, as Con-
gresham Blanchard would certainly do,
and the portage would never be built.
The governor should be gently remind
ed by the farmers that, as they have
stood by him, he should feel in duty
bound to now stand by them. It is for
the good of all.

4 CASCADE LOCKS, Jan. 13.-Oh> >resum-

'say that upon the subject of county
.division the people here are almost
unanimously against it. A remon-
|strance was and is being circulated here,

THE GOVERNMENT CONTRACTORS
VIII say, one of the Day Bros. has been
here for the last week taking in the sit
tuation, but he has informed me that
the contract has not been fully con-
summated, although the bonds have
klong since been filed, contract awarded,
but the final documents from Washing
ton have not been sent to them. He
went to Portland yesterday to meet his
brother. We will probably know more
in few days. You see he'goyernment
has not yet given them
POSSESSION OF THE PLANT.
OF course until this is done they are
unable to do anything. 1 believe these
men mean business; and are business
men. Mr.. Day told me after they got
started to work it was to their interest
to finish as soon as they could, and that
they should do 30. I think there will
not be anything dilatory about it. You
can say that the contractors are not yet
in possession of the plant. Until they are
we need not look for any work to start.
There is nothing in the report about the
large barges as yet, for they have not
decided at which end of the work they
are going to get the stone, hence would
not build barges until they knew where
they should be wanted. &
AN OPTICAL ILLUSION.

But as learn [by the Oregonianl that
the snow was three feet deep here, il
was thought advisable at present not tc

cause the facts are that there has been nc
snolO here for tUo weeksi 1t has entirely

there is no snow, nor within mile o

OF us lived and moved throughout this day
was focused In the room. What we saw ~
we looked at one another, was not one au-
other, but one another's world. We were
an arrangement of mirrors. The scenes we
saw were all reproduced; the people we met

A SWEET VOICE.

There Ia no power Of love so hard to get
and keep rs kind voice. A kind hand is
deaf and dumb. IL may be rough in flesh
and blood, yet do the work OF soft heart
aud do 1t with soft touch. But there Is no
one thing that love so much needs as n sweet
voice To tell what IL means and feels, and il
Is hard TO get II and keeplt In the right tone.
one must start in youth and he on the
watch night and day, ut work, at play, to
get and keep voice that shall speak at all
times the thought ofa kind heart. But this
IS the time when Il sharp voice is most apt to
be got. You often hear boys and girls say
words at play with a quick, sharp tone, us
If II were the snap of whip When one Of
them gets veXed you will hear a voice that
sounds as II 1t were made up of snarl o
whine and a bark.
such voice often speaks worse than the
heart feels. II shows more III will in the
tone than in the words. IL is often In mirth
that one gets a Voice or Il tome Inat IL sharp,
and sticks to him through life and stlrs up
vi will and grief, and falls like n drop Of
gall on the sweet joys at home. Such as
these get n sharp home voice for use, aud
keep their best voice for those they meet
elsewhere. i would say to all boys aud
girls: Use your guest voice at home"
Watch II by day as pearl of great price, for
II viii be worth TO YOU in the DAYS to come
more than the best pearl hid in the sea. A
kind voice is a lark's song 10 u hearth and
home. IL Is 10 the heart what light is TO the
eye. -tJewish Messenger.

Lunatics DO Not Shed Tears.

Ole OF the most curious facts con-
nected with madness is the utter absence
of tears amid the insane. Whatever the
form OF the madness, tears are conspicu-
Gus by their absence, as much in the de-
preston of melancholy or excitement Of
mania as in the utter apathy OF dementia.
II patient in lunatic asylum be dis
covered in tears it will be found that it
is one beginning to recover or an emo
tionsl outbreak in an epileptic who is
scarcely truly insane; while actual in-
sane persons appear TO have lost the
power of weeping, it is only retur ling
reason which can once more unlooss the
fountains of their tears.
Even when lunatic is telling one in
fervid language how she had been de-
r-iged Of her children, or the outrages
that have been perpetrated on herself,
her eye is never even moist. The ready
gush of tears which accompanies the
plant of the same woman contrasts
strangely with the dry-eyed appeal OF
the laxative lunatic. II would indeed
seem that tears give relief TO feelings
which, when pent ur, lead TO madness.
1t is one of the privileges of reason TO be
able to weep. Amid all the misery OF
the insane they find no relief IN tears.
