Afterwards the proprietors put sails
on the boat, and besides being the first
boat on the river, it was for many years
the fastest, as well. This company was
the nucleus of the old Oregon Steam
Navigation Company, afterwards merged
into the o. R. & N. Before the days of
the Mountaineer nothing navigated the
river except the batteaus of the Hudson
Bay Company and the Indian canoes.
The Mountaineer opened the way and
pioneered steam navigation on the
Upper Columbia.
A massive shaft of California granite
in Sunset cemetery today marks the
last earthly resting place of this pioneer
of navigation on the Upper Columbia.

A DIVERSION OF 1857.
Built an sO-TOn Boat and Hauled 1t
From Dufur to the River.

If anyone imagines that the days of
with the advent of the railroad and tele-
graph, they win be undeceived when
they read the following truthful inel-
dent of task performed which seems
herculean, and if similar one were
projected today it would be pronounced
visionary and impossible of execution.
In 1857 R. R. Thompson and Jonathan
Jackson built saw-mill on the present
Wiley place on 15-Mile, five miles above
Dufur. One day, at time when there
was temporary lull in business, Mr..
o. Humison, then residing in The Dalles,
appeared at the saw-mill with an as
founding proposition. 1t was to build a
boat to navigate the Upper Columbia
and enter the field of commerce as a
common carrier. The plan was to
build the boat at the saw-mill, and haul
it overland to point above Cello falls
and launch it in the Columbia. The
saw-mill men were very skeptical over
the virtue of the plan, as may readily be
imagined, but were finally persuaded to
enter into the scheme by the very mag
netism and confidence of the protector.
So they began work on it. The boat
was 20 feet in length, liz feet beam, 5
feet deep and having carrying capacity
of 80 tons.
1t was at length finished, and the most
difficult part of the work was before
them, how to get this unwieldly river
monster, weighing many tons, to the
water. Three days were spent in sur
veying route for it. It was then de-
cided to gain the ridge between Des-
chutes and 15.Mile and follow it down.
This leads into precipitous canyon,
and just how that part of the trip was
accomplished, is unfortunately not
known at the present day. But the
boat was hauled along by eight yoke of
oxen, on slides, or long sleds, and it
took three weeks to haul 1T to the river,
a distance of thirty miles. Talk about
Napoleon crossing the Alps. His
heaviest artillery was but toy to this
Gigantic river craft two-thirds as large
Jas the Regulator. The men of '57 on
this coast were built of the staunchest
kind of stuff, and nothing could dsunt
or appal them. They didn't think about
Prince Albert coats, immaculate shirt
fronts nor toothpick shoes, but they just
set themselves to some task for the de.
velopment of the country. and they went
ahead. If they lacked any refinement
of science or mechanics, any labor saw
ing device, implement, tool or appli-
ance, they simply conjured up a substi-
tute or got along it.
And they launched their boat. And
they christened it the Mountaineer.
With the aid of pike poles and lines
from the bank, they ascended the river
to Wallula and returned, carrying freight
and passengers both ways. When the
round trip was accomplished, and they
counted up the money in the till. it was
found that there was enough funds to
pay for all the expenses undergone, Of

Change of Base.

WASH NGToN, Feb. 12.--The friends Of
the tariff bill in the senate found it ex-
pedient to change their plans somewhat,
and, instead of taking up the tariff i'm
mediately, will postpone its considera-
ton until after all the appropriation
bill which have been reported from the
committee shall be disposed of. A prom
inent republican member of the finance
committee today expressed the opinion
that the silver substitute would be de-
feated by at least 10 majority. He said
that not to exceed four Of the silver re-
pubica 1s would vote for the substitute.
With this disposed Of, ne thinks the
tariff bill will pass with the full repub
lican vote, aided by the votes of at least
three of the populist senators.

says still, as l have before charged you,
it must appear from the evidence that
the danger to the defendant was 80
pressing and urgent that in order to
save his own life, or prevent his receiv-
ing great bodily harm, the killing of
Biyby was absolutely necessary Now,
if the court is rightln stating that man
is not obliged to retreat under such cir
cumstances as above while in his own
house, can he be right when he says in
the same instruction, that before he is
excused he must believe that it is
absolutely necessary to kill the assailant
to prevent bodily harm or save his life?
The defendant could have retreated
possibly and escaped, yet being in his
home, his habitation he is not required
to do so; and yet, if the courts theory is
right, it is absolutely necessary for him
to retreat from his own house."
