TO III REMODELED.

The great locks which are being
constructed ~ the government In the
Columbia river at Cascade, Oregon,
and u which CITY Engineer Young, Of
this city, had supervision during an
important period Of the work, have
withalood tho terrible strain placed
upon them during the recen, Hoods,
but the experience gained tho past
month has been such ~ 10 cause
change In tho original plan OF the
works which will cost almost as much
as the Hrst contrac. price. The Cascade
locks have been IA course Of oonsttuc.
ton about eighteen years, aud were TO
DO completed In March next. by the
floods about 100000 damage has been
done and the completion las been de.
laytd several years.
II was only by close margin that
this great public Improvement escaped
total destruction. Its unfnisned
stalo prevented It being swept out
VI this river by the mad waters which
tore new channels where before II was
thought impossible for tho stream ever
10 come. Along the main channel the
water rushed at a greater speed than a
horse could travel, and waves
from ten to twelve feet high
rose ut intervals along the rapids for
distance oftwo miles. Al the locks
the stream ran through the lower end
Of the protection wall fora distance OF
800 feet, and about 100 feet OF this wall
was demolished. The masonry Of the
canal was flooded 10 a depth Of 90 ieol,
and the locks were saved only by the
most heroic efforts Of = force Of $50 men
aud the engines which were kept
running day and might. B0uldeis
eight aud ten tons In weight, which
were lowered boy derrlcRs la an effort
to build Jettlos, were swep. out OF the
way by tue Hood.
Now that there have been con.
siderable changes made Ia tho river,
such as the 8woepiug away Of island,
and the making OF now chanuels, a
great alteration ln the plan Of the locks
must 00 made They were intended to
be- l3l feet above soa level, but the
post commander there says that under
the Fomodeling they VIII be- projected
on a uaaisoi 100 iecl. The contract pflor
i0r the works was 81. 100000, aud about
two.thlris oi this amount had been
already expended. The change decided
upon Will bring the total cost mp To

INVEST AT HOME.


There are some people here who
were interested Ia the National Go.
operative Building aud Investment
assOciatlon,a Denver institution, which
maze an assignment last October, the
claim being set up that the business
depression was the cause Of the sus.
pension. Under this statement the
investors thought they would get back
n little Of what they put 10, but II now
appears that they will be disappointed.
Instead OF business depression being
the cause Of failure II was rascally
management, anu In place Of sl2l,O0O
hstois aud "a dividend which was
promised, II now develops that there
are no assets at all. Those In thi.
vicinity, therefore, who were drawn
into the concern are badly loft.
some might feel that the losers who
reside here were rightly served foi In
vcsting with the outside institution a
partial excuse may be- found for them,
however, In the glib agents who held
out TO them gilded prospects. Probably
their experience will convince them
that the better way is to invest at
home. Certainly the misioriDns they
have met with should DO Lesson 10
others 10 avoid placing their cash with
foreign schemes which promise big and
Invariably pay little. The safer inves,,
men,s ore those made at home.

self all night as often as he did But he
didn't give a cuss for lions and never
could be brought to believe that lions were
capable of attacking white man. Il
wish the brutcs had the pluck, he often
said, for he had promised his girl in Cape

keen about killing lions Well, one day
when we had not bit of meat for two

we stopped at river and concluded that
Billy had campcd for the night farther on.

was there. There was blood all over tho
place, and the spoor of the big lion could
easily be seen on the soft ground, We fol-
lowed up the spoor and found half of poor
Billy's head near tree. The tall green
grass all around was crushed down, show
ing that the lion had been lying there. 1t
was the top Of Billy's head that was left,
and both the eyes were open and seemed
to be looking at something on tho ground
80 yards away We buried the poor REM
nants under big wild plum tree and
spent week in tracking that lion, but we
never came up with it.-'A Nobody In
