IRKIG CATION CONGRESS.
10 HAs an AusPieisUs OPe1Ing at PhsniI TO-day.--LsrgeF Attendance rhas
 Ever Before.


 PHENII, Dec. I5.-(Special. (-The irrigation congress met in the opera house this morning The attendance is much larger than at any session ever before held, delegates beng present from a majority of the states in the Union. The seating capacity of the opera house was barely sufhcieat to accomnodate the delegates sud visitors. The build ing is beautifully and tAstefully dec orsted with pslas, evergreens and flowers, snd the local committee has been the recipient of many compli- ments for the completeness of the preparations msde for this session of the congress. W. R, Stone, of Kansas, is the temporary presiding officer.
 Governor Franklin on behalf of the territory, and Mayor Monihan on behalf of the City of PhsniI delivered addresses of welcome. The band from the Indian school is in attendance and furnishes music for the meeting.
 There seems to be a strong Senti- msut among delegates, in favor of effecting A permanent organization with paid officers. The session gives promise of being more prolific of practical results for the cause of irrigation than gay previous ses- siOns, as the delegates are enthusi astic and earnest.

BUCKET As ArAxPAYEE.

The JOURNAL-MINER man seriously objects to Bucky O'Neill because he alleges Bucky Is not a taxpayer. As Co this the Courier does not know, but O'Neill pays as much taxes now as he did when the JoUR- NAL-MINER supported him for sheriff and for probate judge, and pays as much taxes as be did when the JoCESAL-MISER eulogized him as the incumbent of those offices.
 The above from the Courier is but a sample oF the reckless assertions made by hat paper, n opposition 10 any thing which appears in this paper. 1T the editor ol our con- temporary had taken the trouble to investigate the subject it would have discovered that O'Neill's name was on the tax roll, and that he did pay taxes when he ran for probate judge and for sheriff. and for year or so afterwards.

Correct. There is no reason why
any party should not play to win, but
it is wise not to make the play too
big. The fusion movement may
secure few voters more to the Dem
ocratic and Populist legislative can

defeating the Republican nominees.

ALONG THE SAME LINE.
Supreme Judge,
R. S. BEAN.

For some reason or other the Ore
gonian, paper published IN Port
land under the authority and by the
sanction of a political clique, takes
cvery opportunity it can find to mis-
represent the people of Eastern
Oregon. Through false statements
and concealment of facts the Orego
nian perverts the truth regald ding the
Cascade locks, and in every manner
possible does what it can to hinder
the opening of the river. And it is
succeeding far too well.
The latest point in question is this
clipping from brief interview with
Governor Lord in yesterdays issue:
Governor Lord also took time to
pay a visit to the Cascade locks, and
as far as completed, he was well sat-
isfied with them. Their completion
would, he said, be great boon to
the state, as, aside from the advan-
tages as a waterway, the state would
be saved the expense of maintaining
the portage road, which at present IS
a heavy burden on the taxpayers.
We doubt very much if Governor
Lord said these words attributed to
him. He has too strict a regard for
the truth to make statement false
to core as this one is. The portage
road at the Cascade Locks is not a
heavy burden on the taxpayers. It
is a self supporting Institution, which
is run in an economical manner and
derives revenue exceeding its ex-
penses. The commissioners of the

The Discovery saved HIs Life.

Mr.. G. Caillouttee, Druggist, Bearers
vile, III. says: 'To DIR. Kings New
Discovery owe my life. Was taken
with La Grippe and tried all the physi-
clans for miles about, but of no avail
and was given up and told could not
live. Having DIR. Kings New Discovery

road have fixed rates of charges
which the D. p. & A. N. Co., as
practically the only shipper across
the portage, pays. These rates are
so adjusted that sufficient revenue
is derived for paying the expenses of
the road. Duslng the year just
past the d. p. & A. N. Co. paid to
the portage road approximately $4,000
in payment of freight charges. This
sum easily exceeds the necessary ex-
penses. If the contrary should
prove to be the case it is because
there is rake-off going to some one
which is far in excess of the ordl-
nary divvy. A glance at the books
of the boat company will substanti-
ate the statements we have made.
Governor Lord should be careful
when he talks to Oregonlan report
ers. They are uncertain individuals
and work according to instructions,
which are to- the effect that the in
terests of the corporations must be
served first, then the politicians; but
never consideration for the people.
Such a statement as the Que referred
to is apt to do much damage unless
corrected.
The state of Oregon did, it is trde,
assist the people of this section in
securing better freight rates, and for
such relief we are grateful; but to
say that the maintaining of the port
age road is a heavy burden on the
taxpayers is stating what is not true,
and doing it with malicious intent.
We dislike the Oregonian. Not
because of its expressions and course
regarding the political situation, for
it has every right to do and say
what it pleases. But its actions, or
rather Its inaction concerning the
Cascade locks we do condemn. The
Oregonian is blind to the best inter
ests of the city in which it is pub
lished. Portland is losing trade on
all sides, and an open river, whereby
it may increase its business, is the
only salvation. And yet the Orego-
nian stands in with the gang which
is working against the completion cf
the locks. If it does not, why these
falsiications, and, worse than that.
why this silence on the main issue?

OUT OF OFFICE.
Rhodes, Belt and Harris Dropped by the
South Africa Company.

London, June Pit is officially an
nounced that the designations OF Cecil
Rhodes. Alfred Belt and Or. Rutherford
Harris, as directors OF the British South
Africa company, have been accepted.
The first named rendered his resigna-
tion some months ago as a result of the
disclosures made regarding the raid into
the Transvaal, which implicated Rhodes,
Belt and others. But action in the mat
ter was suspended, at the request OF
Rhodes. who was then about to engage
the Matabeles, according to his tele-
graphic message. Rhodes, however 1t
is further announced, will reside in
Khodesia. and assist the British South
AfrfCa company TO administer the ter
ritory under its control. DR. Harris was
the secretary for the British South
Africa company at Cape Town.
The acceptation of the designations Of
Messrs. Rhodes, Belt and Harris is un-
doubtedly the outcome of the recent de-
mand of the government of the South
Africa company for the prosecution of
Rhodes and the others implicated with
him in the Transvaal raid.

The last half mile was uneventful.
Cornell crossed the line at the pace she
had set, and not a man in her boat showed
distress when she crossed the line
winner by five lengths over Harvard, in
the record d-breaking time OF 19m. 29s.
Pennsylvania crawled in at good pace,
about four lengths behind Harvard, and
Columbia padded in at least 20 lengths
in the rear Three or four men in the
Harvard boat showed signs of distress,
but in the other boats there was no
trouble. 1t was conceded on all hands
that Cornell had rowed a remarkable
race, and one that from a scientific stand
point was notable in the annals of boat
ing.

enemies in their honesty of heart Joined

strong, headed by drum corps, marched

The city smelled of burning powder. 1t
was said some days ago that the winning
crew would celebrate their victory in
New York Perhaps they Will, but
Poughkeepsie had the matter in her own
hands last night. Her chief of police
announced that he would allow any
thing but destruction of property. and
that may have a great deal to do with
1t.
Coach Courtney OF the Cornell crew
made the following statement: Now
that the race is over, will say that
did not anticipate that the varsity crew
would do such good work. During the
practice work on Cuyaga lake, before
leaving for Poughkeepsie, the best time
In which the varsity crew could get over
the three mile course was 16m. 40s. The
Harvard and Pennsylvania crews have
not much of which to be ashamed. Their
work was very good, and they were game
TO the last. AS TO Columbias work 1
have nothing TO say. Never have seen
such magnificent management as has
characterized this race"
The record breaking time of the race
was in measure due TO the ebb tide, that
was quite effective. but 1t is believed that
the timekeepers. unable to see any flag

watches in the press car on the observa-

taken, broken the record.
