ingalls, on Gold.

SIT is the most cowardly and treach-
erous of all metals. It makes no treaty
it does not break. It has no friend it
does not sooner or later betray. Armies
and navies are not maintained by gold.
In times of panic and calamity, ship
wreck and disaster, it becomes the agent
and minister of ruin. No nation ever
fought great war by the aid of gold.
On the contrary, in the crisis of the
greatest peril, it becomes an enemy more
potent than the foe in the field; but
when the battle is won and peace has re-
turned gold reappears and claims the
fruits of the victory. In our own civil
war it is doubtful if the gold of New
York and London did not work us great
er injury than the powder and lead and
iron of the rebels. 1t was the most in
vincible enemy of the public credit.
Gold paid no soldier or sailor. It re-
fused the national obligations. It was
worth most when our fortunes were the
lowest. Every defeat gave it increased
value. It was in open alliance with our
enemies the world over, and all its en-
ergies were evoked for our destruction.
But as usual, when danger has been
averted and the victory secured, gold
svaggers to the front and asserts the
supremacy

At the Looks.

Work at the Cascade Locks is progress
sing rapidly. Above the upper bulkhead
the guard walls are almost completed,
and the canal has been excavated to its
full depth, down to the water line 80
that it can be completed very quickly
when the high water is over. Eight days
work on one of the gates completed one
section on one gate, and work has been
commenced on the other which it is ex-
pected will be completed in the same
length of time. This will make two of
the three gates complete. Below the
lower bulkhead the guard walls are
about completed, and mass of heavy
stones is being placed on the upper side
of the upper wall to protect it from the
current of high water. When Governor
Lord and party was there recently they
were the guests of the Day Bros, who
assured the governor that if no unforeseen
accidents happened, the canal would be
opened not later than March 1st and
possibly much sooner. The work is in
good shape, and as soon as the summer
food is over it will be crowded to COM
pletion just as fast as men and money
can do it. The Day Bros. have lots OF
money tied up until the work is finished
and are just as anxious to get the
work completed as the people ol
the Inland Empire are. We feel assured
that in less than ten months the long
delayed opening of the Columbia from
this point to the sea will have been com
pleted. This will give great impetus
to business here and will also be bene
fetal to points east of us, as we will ther
have terminal ra.es. At the same time
Eastern Oregon will never reach the full
measure of its prosperity until the oh
structions at this point have been re
moved and the Columbia is made free
highway to the sea.

JIM GARDNER FAILS TO PRODUc THE
CHILD.

JIM GARDNER FAILS TO PRODUc THE
CHILD.
Yesterday morning the District
Court room was again crowded to see
what disposition wonld be made in the
Gardner divorce case. Mr.. Judge, at
torney for Mr.. Gardner, read another
affidavit to the effect that Mr.. Gard
ner had written and autographed to
various parts Of California, and tried
to find out where his father had taken
the child, but had received no infor-
nation on the subject Did not know
where the child was, and could not
produce it.
Mr.. Woodburn then put him on the
stand and subjected him to long
cross examination, to which he re-
ceived the usual evasive replies. 1t
was developed that the child was
taken away with the fathers consent,
but he had no idea where it went. His
brother had driven Major Gardner
and the child to Reno in buggy,
and he had taken the evening train to
California
Mr.. WOODBURY. then asked that he
be committed to Jail for contempt.
The Judge remarked:
r am satisfied beyond any ques
ton that the defendant has ordele ed
the child to be removed from the juris-
diction Of the court. with the intent OF
defeating any order the court might
make in disposing of the case. The
court is also satisfied that his testi-
mony relative TO the matter is tissue
Of falsehoods from beginning to end.
| am not as YET fully satitied that
finding decree in the case l can
commit the defendant TO Jail. as |
have been too busy to fully consult
the authorities
The attorneys in the court We're
asked if they knew of any decisions
covering the pecuIiarities of the ease.
None of them ever did. but Mr. COT
fin rose and stated that he thought
he had information in the case that no
ior Gardner had stated to him that he
intended to take the child away to
avoid having some one killed.
A broad smile passed over the au-
dience when this statement was made
and the court announced that his de
cision would be Withheld until he could
Investigate the legal status of the con-
tempt
The court then adjourned.
