An open river to the sea is of pc
culiar significance to the people of
the Inland Empire, and The Dalles
and vicinity will soon enjoy this
privilege. At the head of naviga-
tion, with large region Of the in
terror country to it, an open river
to the sea means that The Dalles
will be an competitive point
the same as Portland or Astoria,
says The Dalles Times Mountain

This long-delayed dream is soon
to be realized, and then this city
will possess facilities for handling
the produce of Eastern Oregon.
above any other point east of the
Cascade mountains. A fleet of
boats from Astoria and Portland
will plow the waters of the Colum-
bia, and load and unload their
wealth Of exports and imports at
our wharves, Wheat and wool
will seek shipment from this point
to the market Of the world, and
The Dalles will no longer be an
interior town, but one of touch and
sympathy with the seaports Of the
world. This open river to the sea,
which has been considered delus-
i've dream, is nearing relization,
and before 1896 il printed on the
calendar the great canal and locks
at the Cascades will be open to the
navigation Of the people and the
Columbia will flow unvexed to the
| ocean, The Dalles and vicinity
will in less than a year be emanci-
pated from the control of railroads,
and farmers and sheepmen can
float their produce unimpeded in
barges TO tide water. An open riv-
er means commercial liberation
for an empire, and The Dalles, be-
ing at the head Of navigation, will
reap every advantage to be derived
| therefrom.

They Killed the Dogs

In a town in California the peo.

ours that howled continuously all
night, keeping people awake and
otherwise disturbing the peace and
dignity Of the community. On
Friday evening q lot Of poisoned
meat was scattered about which
sent about fifty dogs to perdition
on that night and now the town il

The identity Of the poisoner is not
known, but many owners of dogs
are mad enough to shoot him il

The water is so high at the Cas-
cades that little work can be done
until the river recedes to the norm
al stage. One section Of the second
gate is placed in position, and as
soon as the water goes down the
other gates will be erected, the re-
naming walls built and the upper
bulkhead taken out. There can
not be much doubt thatin less than
year boats win pass through the
canal to and from Eastern Oregon.
The contractors are very much in
earnest about the work, and will
push it with the greatest activity
as soon as the river will permit.

of that herb found by early expior-

Jonathan Carver, a native of Con-
necticut, in 1766-6S, who spent two
years among the Indians on the
upper waters Of the upper Mississ-
ippi, now the state of Wisconsin.
Carver's accounts, however, in re-
ferring to many matters, are con-

McNeiIl's Splendid Management.

Says the Evening Telegram; To
Receiver McNeill's splendid man
agement may justly be attributed
the condition which warrant the
prediction that the 0. r. d N sys-
tenn will soon be freed from the
burden of maintaining a receiver
ship. In a remarkable short time,
and with surprising absence of
friction, he has extracted the sys-
tenn from the damaging complica-
tions into which it was involved by
its connection with the Union Pa
cific, and has thoroughly demon
strated his ability to make it o
paying property, if it is not already
earning more than its operating
expenses. Major McNeill's skill
full work as receiver assures his re-
tention as manager of the 0. R. a
N. when it is released from the
courts control.
