Railroad DimcuIties.

The Union Pacific has experienced
great difficulty in the western division
this spring Floods in Idaho and wash
outs between The Dalles and Portland
have been the means of vexatious de-
lays during the past few days, and the
Second train from the east for over a
week passed down the road this morn
ing. 1t is to be hoped that the storms
of spring are over. and that hereafter
there will be no Instructions to travel
by reason of the elements. The railroad
company displayed considerable enter
prise in building the road through the
gorge of the Cascade mountains, down
the Columbia river. and it takes pluck
and untiriRg energy to keep if open dur
ing spring and fall. The blockade in
Idaho was not expected. as heretofore
that part of the road has given the COM
pany no trouble; but the heavy rains
this spring washed out many bridges
there which had to be repaired. The
necessary repairs caused by these disas-

expenses, and capital must be combined
with energy to run q railroad in the

Orchard Products.

The trees in Tne Dalles have been
sprayed during the past few days, and it is
hoped tine San Jose scale will be DESTROYED
For some time past many OF the fruit trees
in the gardens of this city have been af
hicted with this pest, and 1t has been a
sorry plight to see them wither aud die
This might have been prevented if attention
had been paid to them in time; but the
scale had developed so fully that in many
instances cutting them down was the most
adylsable plan. We hope the spraying
done this year will have very beneficial
effect, and that IN short time the scale
will not be known in this vicinity. Fruit
at The Dalles natures earlier than in any
other portion of Oregon, and its delicious
favor has been renowned all over the coast
With proper attention devoted to orchards,
in connection with other products the fruit
exports will be source of great wealth to
our citizens. There is every indication of
bountiful crop next season, az peaches.

Coal Discovery.

Albany Heruld: F. III Drews, a barber
residing at The Dalles, claims to have
discovered siA-foot vein of fine bltuml-
Gus coal on ranch in Clackamas county.
The vein crops out upon the surface of
high bluff on the Clackamas river, and it
was owing to the fact that the water had
worn away the subsoll at the foot of the
bluff that the groupings were discovered.
Some specimens picked up by Mr.. Drews
on the river bank were taken 10 Portland
and tested. The coal is very clean, burns
well aud gives good heat. Just now the
property upon which the vein is located
is in litigation, but as soon rs it is practi-
cable MIR Drews intends TO sink shaft
on the vein, la0 feet above the level OF the
river, and to take out aud ship large
quantity of the mincralto Portland.

years. 1t covered all the fats from the
Washington & Columbia River Ri'lroad
bridge across the Walla Walla river to
Wallrla. Aug st Farrien's house was
washed down the river quite distance,
overturned and nearly demo i,hed The
bridge tour miles above Wallula was made
Impassable, but only for few hours. A
large quantity of hay on jake Lewis place
was badly damaged. The irrigating ditch
in the vicinity OF Henry Adams place was

Imperialism In Rome.

The address last night delivered by
Mr.. Lydell Baker, of Portland, on
"Julius Caesar and the Dawn of Imper-
ialism in Rome" attracted large aud
Ience at the court house. Every seat
was occupied, and very many were
forced to stand. Mr. B S Huntington
introduced the speaker, and he had not
| spoken dozen words before he had the
complete attention of his audience. The
manner in which Mr.. Baker handled the
subject showed that he had devoted the
most careful attention to Roman history
He has commanding presence, and
his delivery approaches perfection. He
traced the growth of the corrupting in
fuences in Rome until the law courts
became subject to bribery and acts of
the grossest injustice. From the west
came gold into the Golfers of Rome, and
from the east the desire for iuxuries and
for passionate indulgences. These furn-
ished the contagiop that poisoned the
political system OF the sturdy Romans,
and converted race of heroes into de-
bauches and gluttons. The Roman sol
diers were principally composed of agri-
culturists, and war was so lucrative that
they returned from their conquests and
purchased their way into leading posi-
tions in the great capital of the world.
By such means an aristocracy and SEN
ate were created who were venal and
corrupt. The speaker then gave a
graphic description of the civil wars that
ragged, one faction when in power be-
coming the slayers of the other He
gave clear outline of the history of the
country to the time when julius Caesar
victorious from Gaul, crossed
the Rubicon and defeated Pompey at
Pharsalia Caesar then became master
in Rome, and in him converged all the
lines leading from republican Rome and
diverging to imperial Rome. The ad
dress was well worded, and the language
choice in every particular. He depicted
in glowing terms the efforts of Tiberius
Gracious to reform his country, gave
fine picture of Marius, also OF Jugurtha
and his visit to the city, which on leay-
ing, he said could be bought if pur-
chaser could be found. His tribute to
julius Caesar closed the lecture, and
nearly every one would have been inter
ested if it had continued another hour
Mr.. Baker is young man, and has a
bright future before him If at any
time he may visit The Dalles while on a
Iecturing tour we can assure him good
house.
