"As You Like It. :"

Fife Ellsler. Frank Weston, John A. Ellsler and a large company of Shake pearian actors will be at the opera house on Monday night, October 21, presenting the great Bards great pastoral comedy, "As You Like It." To see Miss Elsler in Shakespearian roles will be new to many. Everybody has seen and admired her in emotional parts. For years she made herself beloved and esteemed for the beautiful creation of Hazel Kirk" but long before this "our Ellie" played Juliet, Rosalind, Puck and Hernia, and was quoted as revelation of high com edy. She comes of a family of players who believe the theater to be a temple of art, and from her grlhood was train ed in blank verse. Her father, John A, Ellsler was for many years manager and leading actor of famous stock com panies. This gentleman is TOW member of his daughters support, and as stage director will materially assist in a per feet ensemble of the beautiful works to be presented. This engagement will be appreciated by the elite and lovers of the legitimate drama.

THE WORK AT THE LOCKS
NEARING COMPLETION.

The opening of the Columbia river is
a matter of the utmost Importance, not
only to Eastern Oregon, but to large
portion of Idaho, whose products will
eventually reach the seaboard by the
aid of it's noble current. Portland and
Astoria are also directly interested in
this work, because they will be directly
benefited by it. 1t will prove indeed a
large factor in the development OF the
entire Northwest, and as it assists in
opening and settling territory 600
miles square and containing 250 ZOO, 900
acres of agricultural grazing and timber
lands, it becomes of national import
ance. The place to be most benefited,
temporarily at least, is The Dalles, and
in consequence of this the newspapers
of this city have had more to say on the
subject than those of the balance of the
state. Ever since the first appropria-
ton was made the people of the Inland
Empire have looked forward to the day
when the last stone would be laid and
the distractions to navigation at the
Cascades would be of the past, for they
knew that this was long step towards
the solution of the freight problems,
and felt that when once the canal is
opened and boats can run from Astoria
to The Dalles, it will speedily lead to
the removal or surmounting of the OBJ
stacles to navigation between this point
and Cello, and SO open the river and
make it available for carrying the vast
grain crops of Eastern Oregon and Wash
ington to the seaboard.
That our brethren of the press and the
people of the Inland Empire might
know just what progress had been made,
what condition the work was in, and
the probabilities as to the time when
the canal and locks would be completed.
CHRONICLE reporter was detailed this
week to make thorough investigation
into the matter. Upon stating the OBJ
ject of this visit to the contractors, ]. 6.
and 1. N. Day their bookkeeper was told
to furnish any matter pertaining to his
department, and through him and from
the reports of Lieut.. Taylor, the govern
ment engineer, under whose immediAte
direction the work is done, the figures
given below were obtained. The first
appropriation was made, and others sue.
ceeded as follows:

tent of it, and it takes repeated visits
before one begins to realize the enor-
nous amount of earth that has been
moved, or the masses of stone and con-
crete that have been put together. To
convey an idea of the latter we give the
estimates of masonry that will be in the
walls when mpleted-1S5, 900 cubic
one yard wide and LOG miles long.
When Senator Dolph visited the locks
last fall, he expressed himself as highly
gratifed with the progress of the work
and remarked that "now he expected to
live to see the canal an accomplis he'd
fact" The high water last June, be-
sides causing unusual delay, caused also
considerable damage. The surging
waters rushed in an almost resistless
torrent over the made earth between the
canal and Powder House Point, sweep
ing everything NOV able before it. The
immense piles of stone, happily placed
go as to meet this torrent, alone saved
the works from entire destruction.
Those were busy days for every body at
OA0 AOCk6s 14IOubs 46y1OE WAS dOSCu1 Ou
leave at the time, but he had the right
man for the occasion in his place in the
person of Mr.. William Morris, ~ young
civil engineer, Portland boy, to whose
whose energy and foresight, backed by
money and muscle, the success of the
fight against the waters was largely due.
The water approached the top of the
bulkhead and every man that could find
place to work on was employed. It
was gallant fight, brain and muscle,
meeting the fierce onslaught of the mad
waters and repelling 1T. Nearly thous-
and barrels of cement were used in rails
ing and strengthening the bulkhead, be-
sides cut stone, sacks of sand and every
] thing available that would fill space or
hold back the tide. And when on the
9Th of June the flood reached it's highest
and stood still with the bulkhead yet a
foot or two above it, it was proud day
for the gallant band who fought the un-
chained elements, and conquered. It
was great day for Eastern Oregon too,
though it did not know it, for if that
fight had been lost, there would not be
enough of the work left to form nucleus
for an appropriation. The work would
either have been delayed for years, OF
abandoned and the latter would most
probably have occurred.
AS it is after thorough and close
study of the situation, we believe that
the contractors will be easily able to dc
just what they say they will, and that is
have the canal ready to permit the pass
age of boats by next New Years day
and if the season is favorable some time
sooner than that.

ceeded as follows

All of these appropriations, except
portion of the last one, which were still
available Tor the contract work, was ex-
pended by the government engineers,
Major Jones having charge of the work
at first, followed by Captain Powell and
then by Major Post, who still has super
vision, for the government, of the work.
For many reasons the expenditure of the
money by the government engineers did
not produce results commemorate with
the amount of money expended. For
one reason, and perhaps the principal
one, the money was furnished in small
sums, and a large portion OF it was ex-
pended in protecting the work already
done and repairing damages after high
water. The people, growing tired OF
what seemed at least the waste of both
money and time, became clamorous for
q change, and that the work be let by
contract. Through the energetic action

MILITIA ORDERED OUT.
Trouble in Pocahontas Coal Fields
in West Virginia.

Charleston, W. Va. special: Gov. Nc
COrkle has ordered the Second Regiment
under arms In readiness to proceed to the
Pooahontas coal fields. The miners with
Winchesters forced fifty of the foreign
laborers to quit work and leave the field.
A baHd of armed strikers met the Norfolk
and Western trains at Eckam and refused
p allow anyone to leave the coaches. The
United States marshal was notified and
Aas ordered all the deputies in the state to
MACS 1t Huntington and protect the trains.
The situation in the ElkhOrn coal region
10 very serious and all companies of the
Second Regiment have been ordered to as
semble and he ready to proceed to Elkhorn
at a moments notice.
Wheeling, w. Va, special: Advices
Just received are that miners throughout
the Elkhorn region are rioting, having
burned houses and committed other depre-
datiOns. The present trouble is supposed
to be due to the long strike, during which
the miners have been driven to desperation
through hunger.

PROF. HARRINGTON REMOVED.
Chief of the National Weather Eu-

rcau Oustcu by The President.
Washington special: Something of Il
sensation was created by the
ment that Prof. Mark w. Harrington,
chief of the weather bureau, had been
|summarily removed by the president. II
has been known for a long time that Prot.
Harrington and Secretary Morton were
not on good terms. There has been trouble
ever since Mr.. Morton was made secretary
of agriculture. but the latter declined to
Say anything about the reasons which led
TO Mr.. llarrington's removal. He would
neither affirm or deny the report that his
weather Lurcau chief had been removed.
Secretary Morton has, however, re-
peatcdly accused Prof. Harrington of I'M
busineSslike methods in the conduct OF the
non-technical duties of his Office and he
has intimated that Prof. Harrington has
been very extravagant in the management
of the bureau.
The professor was seen and asked what
he had to say as to the cause of his re-
nOval.
1.-The main reason, | think" he replied,
was the fact that 1 declined to
permit the scientific corps of the bureau
to be sacrificed for the benefit Of spoils-
men,. When a bureau of the sort over
which l preside comes under the spoils
system, it is no longer a desirable billet
for hrst class men"
As to the charge of extravaganza Prof.
Harrington says the average annual cost
Of running the bureau has been reduced
$4,000 a year during his incunbenoy.
Regarding his removal he said: ION the
10Th of June the president asked for my
resignation because of personal interests.
! declined to give it, on the score Of public
interests and ny removal followed prompt
ly, taking efeOt July l.. The personal in
tsrssts involved were discussed by me in
my letter to the president, and I feel that
I have not received just or considerate
Treatment with regard to them"

All kinds vi grain is making one OF the

age OF any kind has occurred to grain, ana
the general prospect is above the average.
Wheat harvest will begin between me
10th and 18th of July. Inc hay crop Will
be very large and the potato crop Will be
heaviest there i'll twelve years. The aver
age yield Of wheat for Dawson County can
be estimated from present outlook at
seventeen bushels per acre and a little
rain this week will increase that average
to twenty bushels.

Chinese Loan Negotiations.

st. Petersburg special: The following
is the actual state of the negotiations con-
corning the Chinese loan: Russia, Oh her
side has agreed to grant certain mOdifca-
tons of a nature to soothe the suspect
bilities and amour prOpre' Of the Chinese
in the form of a convention. China, on
the other hand, has not given any refusal.
but has simply resorted to delays and ter
giversation, to which the government at
Pekin has at last been firmly requested to
put at an end. The reply, one way or the
other, which Russia demands, is expected
imme lately. 1t is anticipated here that
China will more likely accept than refuse.
London special: A Chinese loan is
about to be issued here. 1t is not a large
amount and is independent OF the pro-
posed loan through Russia.

Ii Was Too Extensive.

Washington special: The secretary of
wal has issued an order abolishing all re-
cruiting stations throughout the country.
Hereafter any man who desires to enter
the United States army must 90 to a reg
ular post to enlist. The object Of this new
departure is to economic III the cost of the
recruiting service. 1t is found that il costs
an enormous amount of money each year
to procure recruits and that the expense is
altogether out of proportion to the number
men secured. The average number of re-
cruits accepted at each recruiting station
has been annually about 100, and these
men have to be fed at public restaurants
at heavy expense, which, in addition to the
cost of rent, clerk hire and other incident
ais, makes the process a very costly one.
Inasmuch as the army is now filled to the
limit, the necessity for great effort in the
matter of procuring recruits is not appar-

Washington special: The internal rev.
enue bureau has already received a num-
Der of applications for the refund Of the
amounts paid as income taxes prior to the
decision of the United States court declar-
Ing the law to be unconstitutional. The
blank forms of application for the refund
were sent out about ten days ago, and al
most immediately began to return from
near by points. The question whether
the commissioner can repay the amounts
without formal authorization of Congress
has never been formally raised, but the
law authorizing the commissioner to re-
fun internal revenue taxes wrongfully
collected will be held TO apply TO taxes
collected on incomes. The amount col
(ected does not exceed $50, 900.
