THE cAscApE LOCKS
Preparations for the Opening, Which VIII
BE in March.

Captain J. H. Day. Of the steamer
Frankfort, Portland, spent yesterday Wis
Iting his friend, Contractor Corey, OF the
railroad. In conversation with an Asto-
rian reporter, Capt. Day said that Col.
Day, who Is building the locks at the
Cascades of the Columbia, would have
that great work completed March LIST, 1896
despite great obstacles, and that he W II
finish the work whether there is any
money in the United States treasury with
which to pay him or not. He is willing
TO take his chances on Uncle Sam.
1.-THE completion of this stupendous
work will be a great event In the hi tory
OF Oregon. The boats with the wheat of
the interior will land at your wharves
here in Astoria, and the problem OF
transportation for the middle of the state
will be solved. All the products from the
ranches bordering on the Columbia can
be put into a tide water port at the min
imum cost and the farmer will be assured
of some profit for his labor.
1.-The people all around The Dales, and
the counties adjoining Wasco, are max
ing preparations for a grand ce ehration
on the opening day. 1 understand that
Astoria and Clatsop county VIII a'so join
in the great event, and they Ger a My
cannot celebrate anything that will dc
them any more good, unless 1t may be
the opening Of your new railroad which
will take place in the same year. Astoria
will have double cause for rejoicing In
1896.

He says that business Is just now very
quiet IN Portland, and that the merchants
Of that cityshave lost a great deal OF busi-
ness on account az the low rates TO Cal
ifornia, which drew many peop'e away
from Portland. he estimates that about
100000 was spent In California by Ore
gon people which would have been spent
at home had there been ~ rate war. He
also says that The small merchants are
beginning 10 realize that they can buy as
cheap in The long ran from coast jobbers
as they a buy IN the Fast. An Eastern
salesman may quote one or W items
at greatly reduced prices but the buyer
must purchase many other goods TO make
up a shipment and viii invariably pay as
high prices on the average as though the
entire hill had been ordered at home. This
fact has beer proved by merchants on
the Sound only recently.
