Decoration Day.

Being compelled to go to Hood River,
we are unable to give as full a
report of the exercises yesterday as we
would have liked, but from those who
were there we learn the ceremonies were
unusually interesting, and the attendance
large, in spite of the fact that many were
forced to stay at home to look after their
property. The procession formed on
Washington street at o'clock Co. G, of
the Third, acting as escort. Behind it
came the G. A. r. on foot, followed by
the w. R. G. in carriages, and then the
citizens. w. S. Myers acted as com
mander, A. G. johnson officer of the
day, Rev. j. Whistler, chaplain, and j.
NJ. Patterson adjutant. Reaching
the 6. A. r. cemetery the usual exer-
cises were held, one of the pleasing
features being the new departure where
by seats were provided for all. On the
return the w. r. G. invited the old vet
Grams to luncheon in G A. r. hall, serv-
ing hot coffee and sandwiches, which
attention was thoroughly appreciated.
The graveyard received more than the
usual quota of flowers.

private citizens. The Union Pacific has
a contract to deliver the United States
mails at this point, as well as local points
along the river below It must use due
diligence to fulfill that contract, or it
must pay damages for its failure. In the
name of %, 900 people whose rights have
been trampled on. we demand that the
postal authorities infict on it the max
imum penalty. We demand that the
q. S. mails be delivered here daily, and
that failing so to do the courts remove
the receivers and appoint new ones who
will take charge of the road and remove
the present managers. The spectacle of
the United States managing railroad
which it paid for once, and which it owes
for again, in the interest of company,
and turning over the earnings of the
road to it, and at the same time refusing,
at the dictation of that company, to
carry its own mails and enforce its own
contracts, is spectacle to make anarchy
smile. The Union Pacific will not be in
running order for month or six weeks.
Are we to receive our mails during that
time, only when the managers of the
railroad see fit to send them to us?
Will the postal authorities compel the
road to fill its contracts, or are we to be
delivered, bound hand and foot, to be
plucked, plundered and trodden upon.
There are other grievances besides our
being deprived of mail facilities. Thous-
ands of dollars are being lost by failure
and refusal of the company to cooperate
with the D. p. & A. n. and allow the
portage road on the Washington side to
be used. Passengers and freight are
compelled to make the transfer in
wagons, along side of the company s rail-
road yet the managers refuse to operate
it, or allow it to be operated. That
matter will be looked into later, and if
the franchise is not cancelled there is no
law in Washington. We do not believe
in the boycott, but if the game is to be
PLAYED on us by the Union Pacific, we
give warning that our hand shall be
played to win.

Il SOULLESS AND SENSELESS
CORPORATION.

We arraigD the Union Pacific Railroad
Co., it's officers and receivers, before the
bar of public opinion. Running road
that has been paid for in gifts of land
twice over; that owes the people now
more than the original cost of the road,
it has reached out under its policy of
aeasing yet other routes, that it may
,oppress the people still further, and
fastened its cursed tentacles on every
branch road connecting with it. 1t has
absorbed the old o. r. & N, which was
under its own management one of the
best conducted, and best paying roads in
the country, and it has wrecked it physi-
cally and financially, and it has accom-
plished this in it's effort to own the
people instead of trying to serve them.
Ever since the D. P. & A. N. Co. put
boats on the Columbia. in an effort to
free us from the iniquitous grasp of
the Union Pacific, that corporation has
endeavored in every way to harass and
annoy this community and this section
by petty and contemplate actions that
would disgrace a lot of quarrelsome
children. To crafty its spleen, and in
accordance with its time -dishonored
custom, it has left $4,000 people in
Wasco, Crook and Klickitat counties
without mail facilities since last Friday.
1t is not the fault of this community
that the railroad is wrecked, nor would
it find fault, if there were no other means
of communication. Neither is this COM
munity responsible for the fact that the
Union Pacifc-has no boat on the middle
Columbia; nor that its managers by
taking the Baker off, made a mistake
that no school. boy acquainted with the
circumstances would have made. This
community is responsible for one thing
only in this connection, and that is the
means of communication with the out
side world through the D. P. & A. N.
Co., and this is the fault the Union
Pacific is trying now to cinch us for.
Every day except Sunday the boats OF
this company make the round trip from
this point to Portland. The d. P. & A.
N. Co. stands ready to carry every pound
of fast freight, express and mails, for the
Union Pacific, at bbe same rates it
charges its local patrons, and considera-
bly, less than the usual charges of the
Union Pacific. The D. p. & A. N. Co.
has its boats on the river to do the bust
ness of the people, not to control them,
and is ready to do that business. whether
it comes through the Union Pacific, or

4 FIAT RIDE.

Governor Pennoyer's itinerary is as
follows: From Heppner to Willows by
train, from Willows to Arlington, IL
miles, on foot, thence to squally Hook
by f1atcar, thence BY handcar, small
boat and shank's mare to Rufus and from
Rufus to The Dalles by the way of
Wasco in hack. Taken all in all the
governor had a delightful trip, for no
matter whether on foot or handcar,
small boat or hack, he consoled himself
by pleasant introspection, knowing that
he was riding in Pullman sleeper-on
the fat plan.
