OLD wAsCo COUNTY.
A PEW BRIEF FACTS CONCERNING
ITS RESOURCES.
TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES.


One of the most vital questions to
every community is its transportation
facilities. Wasco county has settled
that. Up to three years ago the only
transportation company was the Oregon
Railway & Navigation Company, oper-
ating line down the south bank of the
Columbia. Forty four miles below The
Dalles this great river is obstructed by
impassable rapids, there being-a fall of
26 feet in quarter of mile. As the
o. R. & N. had no opposition, both
freight and passenger rates were high.
Owing to this, corporation was formed
know as The Dalles, Portland and Asto-
fine steamer on the middle Columbia,
plying in connection with the Dalles
City, fine boat on the lower river. OF
course there was transfer to be made,
but the state generously stepped in and
constructed a portage railroad about
three-quarters OF a mile long, so that
freight could be transferred cheaply and
quickly. As a result, freight rates were
reduced one-half and passenger rates
almost as much.
The government several years ago be-
gan the construction of canal and locks
to overcome the distractions. Two
years ago the completion of the work
was let by contract, and in less than a
year this grand work will be completed
so that steamers from the lower river
can reach rs. These works have cost
$S 800 900. and are pronounced by engi-
neers the finest piece of work of the
kind in the United States. The COM
pletion of this work will make The
Dalles ''terminal point" giving us the
benefit of through rates from the East,
and will thus put our city in position
to compete with Portland for the whole
sale trade of a large territory. At the
same time it will give US very low rates
on our wheat and other products to the
seaboard. AS it is, The Dalles is now
the best market of any place in Eastern
Oregon. Wheat brings ten cents more
-bushel, simply because the freight
rates are that much lower, and they are
that much lower owing to the opposi-
tion line of boats. They will be lower
still when tie canal and locks are fin,
ished and cargoes can be shipped with
ont the expense of re-handling at the
portage.
WATER POWER.
Wasco county has unlimited wate
power, not to speak of the rapids of tn,
Columbia, which has a fall of 20 fee
IN nine miles ending, three miles cas-
of US, but which would require consid
cradle capital to control. Deschutes
= fine river 200 miles long, which drain
the eastern slope of the Cascades, has
rapid fall, and Hood river, stream ris
ing in the glaciers of Mount Hood, fall
5000 feet in thirty miles, and for tn
last twelve miles of it's course fall
seventy-five feet to the mile. and is o
volume sufficient to furnish $500 hors
power for each twenty feet fall. Thes
streams will eventually be used to brinl
the timber from the mountains, and q
the same time will furnish the power t
manufacture it into lumber. And VIII l
speaking of the timber it may not b
out OF place to add that the immens
forests of hemlock on the heads of thes
streams will furnish unlimited quanti
ties Of bark for tanning purposes.

PRINCE BISMARCK
Still Receiving Populations Advice TO
Premier Stoi!of Of Bulgaria.

Berlin, April Prince Bismarck has
had rest from public receptions, but will
resume tomorrow, when the teachers of
the Prussian high schools will go to Fried
richsruhe to present statue Of Emperor
William /. AS his health has not given
away under the strain of the celebration,
Bismarck will extend the programme of
receptions. He has agreed to address a
party of Posen Germans, April 81.
Thursday, Bismarck gave an interview
to Premier Soiloff of Bulgaria. He is re
ported as advising Stoiloff not to offend
Russia and hold to prudent course, cal
culated solely to improve Bulgaria's do
nestle conditions. He warned him ener-
getically against the ENHANCEMENT of
foreigns alliances or intrigues. whose OBJ
ject would be the recognition of Ferdinand,
the Cobourger, as sovereign prince.
Prince Arendberg, who represents the
Bavarian constituency in the Reichstag,
has been turned out of the presidency of
the Berlin Colonial Society because he
voted against congratulating Bismarck
Arendberg is Catholic and went with
the rest of the Clerical party, when they
helped demOlish Herr Won Levetzow' s
resolution.
He was told CURLY, early in the week,
that although he had served by few
months of this term. his resignation was
desired at once, since all the leading
members declined to attend the meetings
held under his craftsmanship. His sue
cessor has not been chosen.

THE MAINE CENTRAL.
An Interview With Vice Presi-
dent Payson Tucker,
10 Whom the Road Owes Far More
Than Any Other Nan.
Veazie Accident Only One In Twenty Years
Through Dispatcher's Office.

PORTLAND, April 7.-Vice President ant
General Manager Tucker of the Main,
Central Railroad, in the course of con
versation with representative of tn,
Portland Express upon general railroad
matters, talked freely in regard to tn,
recent accident on the Maine Central. H,
said:
This may be put down as one of thos,
unfortunate occurrences which are liabl,
to happen as long as men are human. Ii
was not due to any disobedience or mis-
understanding of orders. 1t was The
result of a wrong order from the trai1
dispatcher at the time. 1t is unaccount
able on any other theory than that it wa.
such mistake as the most competent
careful and reliable man strangely enough
may sometimes make.
1.-The man at fault in this case has all
the qualities that go to make up COM
retent and safe man, yet out of half a
dozen orders issued almost simultan-
eously, as result of one train being be-
hind time, was a wrong order and the
accident followed. How did 1t happen:
The only reply is that he thought be had
given, as he intended to give, the right
one. The mystery is how so competent
and faithful man could make such a
mistake
Twenty years ago, when l first came
to the road, it had no train dispatcher.
AS a consequence, it was not infrequent
that train was sidetracked for hours for
want of knowledge Of the condition of the
track. 1t was impossible to do business
satisfactorily that way 1 had been
familiar with roads where the train dis
patcher was Indispensable and shortly in
troduced the system on this road.
1t will be 20 years next October since
it was inaugurated, and the accident the
other day Is the only one in the more than
10 years it has been in use. In all that
time not cents worth of injury has been
done. That is great record--in 90 years
but single error either by way of an
order given or omitted. Itspeaks well for
the system and well for the competency
and faithfulness of the men.
"The fact is that in timo of peace we are
always prepared for war When every
thing is going smoothly there is danger OF
carelesseness, hence precautionary orders
are frequently issued. This, coupled with
the fact that our men are everywhere
exceptionally competent, trustworthy and
painstaking, has given the Maine Central
a record in this particular second to none
in the country.
''In another department, the fiduciary
of the road, there is none in the country
that stands any better in showing a
smaller percentage of loss from the faith
lessncss of employees. flattcr myself that
have had something to do with bringing
the road to its present high condition, but
have been sustained in my efforts and
have been enabled to do much by the sup
port of the directory and the cheerful,
faithful, earnest cooperation of the EN-
ployes generally. No road in the country
has a better or more reliable set of men
than the Maine Central"

ORIENTAL WAR NEWS.
Stories Of Japanese Inhumanity to
Prisoners Pronounced False.
insults to Flag Of rruce-Chinesc ideas Have
Changed Since 1882.

London, April THE Central News
correspondent in Toxic, says that the
stories about the killing of the wounded
at the battle of Tien Chwang emanated
exclusively from Chinese sources. The
Japanese MAINTAIN that the wounded were
treated by them with their customary
humanity.
A dispatch was sent from Hiroshima to
Lieut. Gen. Nodzu, commander of the
Japanese troops in Manchuria, briefly
stating the accusations ana requesting an
explanation. He telcgraphed that the
stories were baseless calumnies. Letters
written by three reporters from the heal
quarters of their divisions in Manchuria
support this denial in every respect
Lieut. Gen. Nodzu reported from Hal
Cheng, April 4, that General vi had sent
him a message to tho effect that the
Chinese commanders knew nothing of the
conclusion of the armisticc Moreover,
the governor of Lao Yang had answered
the notice OF the armiStice with an inso-
lent letter denying that he was informed
of the arrangement When Ii Hung
Chang was told of the replies sent by vi
and the governor he expressed deep regret
1t Is supposed that Geographic COM
munication with Chinese forces is inter
rupted. Mounted couriers could not have
got from Pekin to Gen. Yrs headquarters
in fewer than five days, and although sent,
they probably had not arrived when the
Japanese messengers went into the
Chinese camp. The Tartar soldiers are
utterly Ignorant of the civilized customs
of war, and have no understanding of a
truce.
The Central News correspondent in
Toxic says that Lord Lii has been ap-
pointed envoy with full powers to Japan
and has accepted the mission
The Tien Tsin correspondent tells of
the discovery of secret memorial dated
1882, in which many high Chinese Off
Gals recorded their unanimous opinion
that China should undertake the conquest
of Japan, since the progress of Western
civilization among the japanese was
threatening the welfare of the Chinese
people.

WHERE Is BROWN 7
No Trace Of the Missing Business Man
OF H0ulton.

Houlton, April 7.-(SpeciaD. Nothing
as yet has been heard of Waldo G. Brown,
who recently left here so quietly and has
not informed anybody of his whereabouts.
1t was at Caribou that Mrs. Brown last
heard from her husband. There is nc
truth in the statement that Mr.. Brown
wrote to his family saying that he in
tended to skip the country, at least this
has been learned from good authority.
Mr. Brown had for some time been con
been conducting the Houlton foundry and
machine shops, where about so men were
employed. 1t has been supposed by some
that the business was large and Mr..
Brown was adding wealth to his Golfers,
but those having an insight into affairs
knew differently. He was always active,
but did not seem to be a good manager.
What object he had in leaving town SO
mysteriously nobody seems to know.

THE INTEREST GROWS
At Gardiner in the Base Ball Outlook for The
Coming Season.

Gardiner, April 7.-(SpeciaD. 1t is
very evident that lovers Of the national
game in this city arc anxious to take ad
vantage of the favorable opportunity In
prospect to cooperate with Augusta and
secure the privilege of some first class
base bail games in the Kennebec valley
during the coming summer. And there
is every reason to believe that as Gardi-
ner is to have number Of games played
within her borders our people are ready to
contribute their share to the support of a
New England League team when the ar
rangements are fully understood.
1t is the general opinion among the
base ball enthusiasts that u certain num-
Der of games here would be well patron
lied. There is no doubt but what excel
lent grounds can be secured and fitted ~
In proper shape at comparatively small
expense. Among the locati' ms favorably
mentioned by local base ballists is the
Pine Tree race course. Many favor Bcrry's
field on Lincoln avenue, and although
the latter are not large in size, they would
be the nearest available for the purpose,
and could be fixed up without a very
large outlay of money.
The Randolph grounds, however, are
claimed by large majority to be more
suitable in every particular. These
grounds were used by local clubs during
the years 1883 and 1889, and are In good
condition. The high board fence which
surrounded it, at that time, has been torn
down and taken away, and nothing is
now left to show where it once stood save
few occasional stakes to be seen scat
tered aloag the line
Interest in the proposed league games
is rapidly developing in Gardiner and
there is strong desire to give encourage
ment to the project.
