Minister OF Justice. The bog /, day pupil In the
Lycec. On Saturday morning he was taken TO the

that some person accused suspected Of crime had
taken the child hostage in order to compel the

PANAMA CANAL CONCESSION EXTENDED.

MONCHICOCET'S HOPES

ACTION OF THE COLOMBIAN GovERNMENT-M
MONCMCOURTS HOPES.
Paris. Feb o0.-The Government Of the Republic
OF Colombia has granted temporary extension of the
Panama Canal concession. The extension is until
March 3. NJ Monchcourt the liqudator OF rhe
Canal Company, expects that the negotiations In
progress with the Colombian Government will result in
definite proloneing OF the concession.
Does tn" dispatch mean to say March . in 1893.
In 1s94l Probably the latter. for II wond h. hardly
worth while to report by cable the extension of such
a big contract concession for only five DAYS. More
over the Colombian Congress had passed Il law giving
the President Of the republic tho power 10 proloug
for one year. II he thought IT advisable the privilege
of the Panama Company. II must be remembered
that the cara concession granted for twelve
in 1873 to Lieutenant Lucien- Napoleon -Bonaparte-
Wyse. who transferred 1t TO the company Of which
Lesseps president. The canal not having been
opened within the specified time. the concession would
have lapsed In 1890 II Lieutenant Wyse. at the
quest Of NJ Monchicourt the liQuidator. had
sented TO make more effort In favor OF the en-
tcrpnse, the operation OF which he had not been
mitted by the crowd aronnd De Lessep 10 supcrintcnd
in any way. He went To BOgOta, where thanks to
the high esteem In which he was held there he oh
tanned prOlongaOn OF the concession until February
%, 1903. The conditions were that by that day the
reconstructed Company Of Panama should have been
organized, with ample cnpital. and should have begun
again in earnest the work OF excavation. some
Slight pccuuiary advantages were also granted TO the
Colombian Government In exchange for the extension
OF the concession.
None Of these conditions being fulfilled by the
Panama Canal people Colombia is entitled to revoke
the privilege on February 2S 1e93. and said In
article o Of the proongation treaty obtained by VI.
Wysc. enter into possession without any judicial
decision any indemnifcaton Of The work Itself OF
the canal and its annex" contingent property.
This Is in also with article % OF the original
contract OF concession, signed in 1878. The 90

An Ideal Stage Ride.

Sunday the first installment of Wis
itors to Cloud Cap Inn Is in number,
arrived here and made the trip in
Olinger g. Bones stages. These gen
tlemen are prOprietors of the Mt.
Hood stage line, and we have no hesi-
tanCy in saying they have the best
stocked line and the finest coaches on
the coast. Besides this the road
abOnnds in fine views as the ascent is
made, and the time slins away un-
noticed as the grand panorama unfolds.
Besides their regular stage line, they
have the very best stock, single and
double carriages, and light hacks for
fishing parties. Hood River is the
finest mountain resort in America and
the trip to Mt. Hood is its crowning
attraction.

We have been urged 10y several of
our farmers to agitate the irrigation
question again. We would gladly do
so if there was any possibility Of it
doing good, but it is too late. The
season has arrived when water is need
ed and the question will now agitatc
itself. a community that runs on the
Arkansas plan, and makes no effort to
help itself until it is in need, is beyond
the power of press or pulpit to force
out ofits old grooves. The GLACIER,
$50 we are told) made most of its read
ers tired on the irrigation question,
and we don't propose to repeat that
experience. Last year a company was
formed, and $4,000 stock subscribed,
and although the time for paying the
first assessment was extended first 30
days, then so, and then all winter, S72
was the grand total of all money paid
in. AT the same rate, it will take 1873
years to get the stock paid in, and at
the end Of that time the paper will
begin new campaign, and again urge
upon such of the mossbacks as have
forgotten to die, the necessity of irriga-
ton. But not before.

Mayor Rinehart of The DnlsS says
there are from 1000 to l5,CR dogs in
that city that are unlicensed. We
knew our neighboring town had rhc-
nomenal crop of CANNES, but we were
totally unpmpared for the grand total
as stated by the mayor. According 10
this there are three dogs and u pup for
each man, woman and child. At one
pound of meat per day those dogs would
cat say 1900 POUNDS of beef requiring
thirty head of beeves daily. We arc
fo ced TO the belief that The DallcS is Il
letter town for butchers than for can
didates for city Office on the democratic
ticket. We further timidly suggest 10
the honorable mayor thet he obey the
injunction Ia "thpw lhysic to the
dogs" and, as it were, cartail both
species and number. Fifteen thousand
dogs is too many for one town, any
how. Strung out heads and tails. made
into one longitudinal dog, 80 to speak,
$4,000 dogs each four feet long, iuclud-
ing tail, would equal a string of dog,
metaphorieally speaking, GD,000 feet
long-loug enough to reach from The
Dalles to Dulur, and that is too dog
goned long dog for any one. Oh,
pshaw! Dr., give us reductiou,a u special
rate on dogs. Fifteen-thousand dogs
weighing say so pounds each, would
make grand total of $4,000 pounds
of dog, 225 tons, not counting the bark,
and its putting on too much dog that
way, even for The Dalles. We believe
the mayor was mistaken, that meta
phorically speaking he has leen count
ing his chickens before they were
Matched, and his estimate is made on
possibilities. He Is dealing i'm futures,
and his statement is dog-ma-tical
Anyway we figure it there is too much
dog, and we-weli we won't believe il.
Besides, suppose that all these dogs
pants should give out at once, say in
the dog days (and syery dog has his
day, and they had TO wander up the
back alley with nothing on but n collar,
what would the administration do
then? That's what we'd like to know.
But we drop the subject; ii is too dis
