THE CANAL AND LOCKS.

The Post, published at Washington,
In its issue of the 18th inst. has the fol-
lowing concerning the Cascade canal
and locks:
s'The people of Oregon are in high
spirits over the approaching completion
of the Cascades on the Columbia river,
which will open that stream to naviga-
tion," said Mr.. 1. n. Day to a Post re-
porter at the Ebbitt. Mr.. Day is quite
young man of the hustling, enterpris-
ing Western type, and is one of the
firm that secured the contract for COM
pleting the enterprise referred to by him.
SIT is a work of vast magnitude" he
said, ''and means more to the inhabi-
tants of Eastern Oregon than can be
well understood in this part of the coun-
try. The construction of the locks and
canal involves a total expenditure of $3,
SOC, 900, the canal to be 5000 feet long,
with locks and lift of twenty-four feet.
Four massive gates are provided for,
measuring 55 feet in height by "a feet in
width, being the largest lock gates in the
world. One thousand men are employed
principally in the fall and winter, as the
work is annually submerged by the June
floods remaining in that condition for
about five months of the year. When
the canal is finished it will give nayi-
gable waterway from The Dalles to the
Pacific ocean, distance of 200 miles.
HThere are millions of acres of idle
lands in the eastern part of the state,
fertile and productive and capable of
supporting dense population. That
section is alluded to in our country as
the Inland Empire and it has hitherto
remained in an undeveloped state chiefly
from lack os transportation facilities.
The opening up of the Colum bia river by
the construction of this canal will bring
about a change of conditions that cannot
fail to benefit this naturally favored ter
ritory. The climate is mild and equable,
the summers not excessively hot, and
the winters much milder than on the
Atlantic coast. The scheme for develop
ing this country originated with Senator
Mitchell away back in '75. At that time
he was attorney for Ben Holiday, the
then great transportation king of the
Northwest, who had committed himself
to the support of Mitchell for United
States senator. Subsequently Holladay
was seized with senatorial aspirations
himself, forgetful of his promise to
Mitchell. The latter. nevertheless,
walked off with the honors and shortly
after his election had brief and spirited
interview with his former friend.
''Holladay sneeringly said: You
think you are pretty big man now.
Mitchell, but what are you going to dc
for the people of Oregon when you get
to Washington2'
s'Still smarting under the sense of in
jury, Mitchell answered: 'One of the
first things I shall strive to accom- plish
will be the building of canal around
the Cascades and give the people of in.
land Oregon the benefit of competing
trans portation rates against your rail.

"The senator never forgot thas decla.
ration, and think by January 1885
his constituents will see contamination
of his long-cherished plan.'

jamn Prince, a Canadian merchant, was
charged $3.50 for shampoo In Cne Of the
shops, and got off very cheaply at that for
a witness formerly in the swlndlers' employ
told OF an instance In which a patron was
charged SIS for having the tartar removed
from his teeth and $3.50 more for having
some teeth extracted which should not have
be en- removed at all; and in some instances
as much as $50 was charged for scraping
the teeth. The high prices were explained
by the statements that the material used to
cost 5000 half ounce, and that the arstoc-
racy took SO much of the time OF the opera
they did.
James r. Egan, who was recently re-
leased from prison after serving about ten

energy which convulsed the sultan Of Tur-
key into doing something toward suppress
ing anarchy in Asia Minor a result of the
marquis Of Salisbury's Mansion house speech,
seems 10 have spent its force, and Abdul
Hamid is said to have ielapsed into his
usual ethargc state. Reports of fresh mas
sacres have reached here from many points
Of the disturbed empire, and in brief the
eastern question does not appear to be as
near solution as 1t was during the early part
of the week. There has been little change
in the nature Of the problem before the
powers however. Their mutual suspicious
are acting as drags upon them and delay de-
cided action upon their part, though the be-
lief sim prevails that nothing short Of dras-
tic measures will bring the sultan TO terms
for any length Of time. This STEP however,
will not be adopted until all hope Of loyal
enforcement Of the reforms which Abdul
Hamid solemnly promised to adopt have
vanished

"How far down in the mine have you

"Our main tunnel or shaft is in about so
feet and shows a ledge over seven feet
wide, while drillings here and there along

Result of a Four Days Run In the Des-

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Aug. 31.-As
the work progresses on the Altuma mine,
in the Morongo mining district the richer
the ore becomes. There are at present
three tunnels, No. ] running in 147
feet and striking ledge thirty-eight feet
wide. Tunnel No. 2 runs in III feet
and crosscuts ledge eight feet wide. In
this tunnel is shaft opening to the sur
face, the shaft being eighty feet deep.
Halfway up the shaft some very rich rock
has been discovered, going in the neighbor-
hood of $500 per ton in gold. This last
discovery was made only a few days ago
and has renewed the excitement in the
camp. A large force of men is at work
building a good road in to the mine. AT
the point where the new ledge was dis
covered in the shaft leading from tunnel
No. to the surface tunnel will be run
into the body of the mountain following
up the ledge.
]. C. Christy, who has been making an
extensive trip all over the mining country
IN the eastern portion of San Bernardino
County, is quite enthusiastic, and predicts
great results within the next year or so.
The Virginia Dale mining district, situated
near the Hathaway Mountains, is to be the
place, as at present the work is being car
ried on quite extensively, and the district
is oyerrun with mining men. The entire
country shows up many bright prospects
and mining men from all over the country
are becoming interested.
James McHaney was in San Bernardino
yesterday and was much sought after, all
because he arrived in the city with valise
full of gold bullion from his mine, the
Desert Queen. He deposited the bullion
at the Farmers Exchange Bank, it weigh
ing $50 ounces, netting McHaney little
over $4,000. The pile of bullion was viewed
by number of curious people and men

Three years ago Rev. Mr.. Read disap-
peared from his home here. The next day
his clothes were found on a river bank.
Every one supposed he was accidentally
dro wned or committed suicide. The river
was dragged for his bodyl Two weeks later
a telegram was received here from Moline,
H., announcing his arrival there very
sick. He returned here early this year
with his family, and at once made plans to
rob the bank.
Read watched for an opportunity to find
the paying teller alone and then frightened
him with toy pistol. He attracted the
attention of the teller of bank on the op-
posite side of the street, who arrested Read
at the muzzle of q shotgun.
