the builder, unaided by mechanical in
vention. 1t is not easy to build posts
for frontier protection as Fort Dalies was
built, and at the same time take advan-
tage of the cheapening advantages OF
denseIy populated centers. Some OF US,
who were children not long ago, remem-
Der the dam on Mill creek that supplied
the power to the saw-mill which got out
the lumber used in the construction OF
the houses. The remains of this dam
were removed after poor Riley was
drowned there while trying to rescue his
dog, which was in some way caught
among the old timbers.
Capt. Jordan had fine taste in build
ing, and Uncle Sam is supposed to have
a long purse, and so it was that we
boasted of as picturesque a collection of
officers quarters as could be found the
world over. The customary tradition of
''two rooms and kitchen" received its
usual generous Interpretation in srmy
quarters. room is hut room, though
it may be subdivided by any number OF
sliding doors, and any portion OF the
upper stories, the upper angle of which
is cut off by the roof to ever SO small a
degree, does not count. 1t will be long
before our city has another 5000
building in its residence quarters. We
had our little pride in the ecommandant's
house. It went out in blaze of glory.
But one of Capt. Jordan's buildings is
still standing, called, we believe. the
captains quarters. A tull reminiscence
of the old garrison will be some day an
interesting theme for our local historian.
The buildings are about through with
their usefulness; the builder is at rest
the parade ground is cut up into town
lots, and grow roses and chrysanthe
NUNS. We do not forget that he raised
his hand against his government; bu

and reminder his faithfulness wherein

Early Days of Fort Darles Recalled.

In yesterdays dispatches was an
nounced the death of Captain Thomas
Jordan, at one time in the regular army,
and later in the Confederate service.
Captain Jordan was stationed in The
Dalles at the time the military post YVES
here, and his death has caused frier d
of THE CHRONICLE to write the following
reminiscent article, which will be of in
tereet to those who wish to learn of IL e
early history of The Dalles:
The death of Captain Jordan should
be of more than passing interest to US in
this vicinity, he being quarter-master at
the post of Fort Dalles during the erec-
tion of the building which succeeded the
first log huts that were temporarily put
up. II he who makes two blades of
grass grow where one grew before, is
worthy of commendation, Capt. Jordan
might be forgiven many subsequent
sins. It was he who sowed over the
bluff around the government spring the
seeds of white clover, the sods of which
have helped to start many lawn in our
city, and some of which still flourish
where they have not been extirpated by
the spade of improvement.
Along with thie, the-horses of the cav
airy regiment turned the award of tt e
native grass growing on their exercise
ground into desert, which increases
yearly. But this was not the fault of
Capt Jordan, nor was he to blame for
the charge of extravagant expenditure
which was often brought against him.
It is not easy to build well and inexpen-
sively when carpenters are paid SO a
day in gold, and when planning lnills are
not, but every stroke in the construction
has to be made by the strong hand of

REPUBLICANS AND THE SENATE

There are indications that the rep1b-
licans Will organize the senate, and that
they will do it without anv populist aid.
Senator Chandler, it will be remen'-
bered, wanted deal with the populis.
on this question, which would give the
combination five or eix majority. Along
to the present time, however, says the
Globe-Democrat, only one or two other
republican senators have said anything
In favor of this scheme, and several o.
them have talked against it. AppaF-
emily it never had a chance of secur;r-
much republican support. The pop1-
lists, of course, could be relied on to
favor it. 1t would give them prominent
places on a few committees, and would,
in certain sense, put them in an alll-
ance with the party which is going -
run the country for the next few years.
Naturally a combination of this sort
would have great attractions for the
populists.
After the Utah members take their
seats, however, the republicans will
have forty-five senators, or just half the
whole mum Der, and it is understood that
Jones of Nevada will voluntarily lend
them a hand in the organization, and
thus give them majority. Jones will
do this as an ex-republican, and not as
a populist. He is a republican on all
questions except silver coinage, and this,
as he knows, is not going to be an issue
in the present congress. Dominance IN
the senate is not very ardently desired
by any republicans at the present time,
for with the president against them,
they would still be without full control
over legislation. They would have re-
sponsibility without having power
This condition would be unsatisfactory
OF any time; but now, on the eve OF {
presidential election, it will require skill
to preventit from being especially bur
densome and embarrassing.
Speaker Reed ia expected to steel
congress-the senate as well as th'
house-through the dangerous places un
til after the election. He is an aspiran
for the candidacy, and for his own vel
fare, as we'll as for that of his party, h'
will be anxious to keep the party out o
trouble in the coming session. One o
his tasks will be to prevent re-openini
of the tariff question, which would hap
pen if the threats to propose bills put
ting wool on the dutiabIe list and in
creasing the duties on tin plate an
other articles are carried out. Bills O
that sort are not likely to be allowed t
come up in the house in the comm
session. They could not possibly do an
good, for the president would veto them
and they would do harm by bringing u
the entire tariff question for discussion
which would disturb trade, give tn
democrats chance to rally, and hur
the republicans in 1896. The time fo
the republic ms TO present partisa,
policy is when they get complete contrc
OF the government in 1897.

Hidalgo, Tex, April 8.-sinoeI
my last nothing Of interest has
transpired here.
The weather has been veryI
changeable and cool for this,
time of the year. Last Friday,
morning very heavy clouds
banked up in the west and
north, with every promise of a
good rain, but the norther blew
all our hopes away down south.
The reported rise in the San
Juan river proved a canard,
and our Rio Grande is now at
a low stage.
District Attorney Kleiber ar.
rived here a few mornings ago
at 2 o'clock, and in one hours
time was on his way with a
fresh team for Rio Grand CITY,
where he goes via Pena to
Corpus Christi.
At the opening of the last
district court the Closner hotel
County jaiD had forty-seven
guests, but now times are very
dull up this way and the mum
Der is reduced to twenty.
Crops all over the county
are reported fine and doing
well, not yet needing rain.
With one good rain this month,
a good crop will be insured.
John Lipscomb, who is farm
ing six miles below town, has
planted one hundred acres in
corn, ten in tobacco, ten in
sweet potatoes, thirtyiiye in
cotton, six in sugarcane, four
in Irish potatoes, one in garlic,
and two in onions, making 168
acres in cultivation. He tells
me that everything he has
planted is very forward and he
anticipates a fair crop, more
rain or no more rain. He also
says he will raise vine fruits
T enough to supply all the poor
people in the county for three
or four months.
Mr.. Lipscomb will soon visit
Brownsville to receive a pump
to irrigate his farm with when
necessary. Then he will be sure
of good returns for all he can
lplant.
L. r. Wren has a small farm
l near town, with about fifty
acres planted chiefly in cotton
and corn, but he has also beans,
pumpkins, melons and variety
of vegetables.
