WASHINGTON. Dec l7.-Speaker Reed

pendent tariff bills which we're passed.
the reports were made by various men,
bcrs of the committee

Mr.. Wilson Of West Virginia has not
boon az the capitol for two day. and to
sil in4uifics the answer 10 that he is
preparing the report on the tarifI bill.
As Representative Breckinridge OF Ar
kansas has also been absent Some OF the

sisted in preparing the bill.
The report must be ready 10 present

mission to the full committee on that
day
The caucus on the tariff bill will re-
heve quite a number Of democrats FROM
in unpleasant dilemma IL the bill is
indorsed by democratic caucus. mem
bers Of the party can claim that they
but follow the instructions OF the party,
while II there is no caucus they will be
compelled to vote against the bill IL
they cannot get il amended.
As an Indication OK the policy to be
pursued by tho republicans il is said
that on the sugar schedule they will
Offer the section OF the Mckinley law m
a substitute. This being voted down. as
it surely will be. the republicans will
not vote with the Louisiana men on such
other propositions as they offer. This
course followed on other provisions OF
the bill which are Objectionable would
leave but little possibility OF amending
ths bill while in the house.
The attempt to secure an organized re-
sistance 10 the tariff bill made by some
Of the disgruntled members OF the house

look forward TO the senate as their only
hope to obtain any amendments 10 the
bill Tho names OF Messrs. Cochran,

railroad Fare to WORLDS Fair.

An arrangement has been arrived at
among the representatives of the various
transcontinental lines in regard to re-
duced rates to the Columbian exposi-
ton. On and after May 1st, round-trip
tickets to Chicago and back will be sold
for $98.50, reduction of $11.50 from
present rates. Round-trip tickets to
Omaha, Kansas City and st. Paul will
be $50, and to st. Louis $92. The tickets
will be good for nine months, and will
carry the usual lay-over privileges west
of the Missouri river. It is the opinion
of some of the ticket agents that fur
ther reduction will be made, and that
there is a liability of regular smash
before the fair is over.

washed Away the Grade.

We are reliably informed that the
recent heavy rains swelled the can
yon leading to the Des Chutes "free"
bridge into raging torrent, destroying
completely the grade on the Sherman
county side of the river, involving in its
repair many hundreds of dollars. The
bridge, which was well constructed, at
an enormous expense to Wasco county,
which then included Sherman, is intact.
1t is not thought Sherman county will
make the repair.
The bridge has been a great conven-
fence to people coming to The Dalles for
a distance of 100 miles, and especially
throughout the John Day country.
Now that it cannot be used, travellers
will lose great many miles, as they
will be compelled to go by Sherar's
bridge or Miller's.

MORE SURVEYS.
The Valuable Fruit Country Near Cas-

Owing to the rapid settlement of the
country the government is bestirring
themselves in the matter of surveying
vacant government land. j. Richard
son, with party of men, horses, IN
struments and camp equipage, left on
the Regulator this morning for Nelson's
landing. few miles above Cascade
Locks on the Washington side, to sur
vey the vacant townships in that eoun-
try. There is much valuable fruit land
in that vicinity which has never been
located, but which will some. day be
worth 81 900 an acre for every acre of
thrifty bearing fruit trees. The great
rush of settlers In the last year or two
is the reason for the survey. The coun-
try is filling up fast, how fast none will
realize until the next census is made
and comparison drawn.

DaIles Of the Co1umbIa.

Interested persons are now anxiously
waiting to learn what project was
recommended by the board of engineers,
who met in New York some months
ago, for the surmounting of the OBJ
structions to navigation at the dalles of
the Columbia. Their report was sent in
ito the chief of engineers some time ago,
and it should in the natural order of
things be made-public soon. The pro-
ject recommended is not known, but it
is understood that whether it was a
boat railway or a canal, the site selected
was on the Oregon side of the river
