THE-sIzuAT1oN AT THE LOCKS,

Taylor. of the engineering corps, and the
representatives from The Dalles and
Vancouver Commercial Clubs and the
Astoria chamber of commerce, is full of
Interest to the people of Eastern Oregon
and to the cities and communities along
the Columbia, whose interests will be
affected by the speedy opening of the
river. While the condition, as ascer-
tanned, is not all that the friends of an
open river could desire, yet there is
much of encouragement in the situation.
Leaving out the consideration of the
permanent stability of the work and its
protection from flood, at the very worst
an outlay of an approximate $4,000 will
place the locks in condition for continu-
GUS operation. A Imonth of work, or
possibly six weeks, will find the canal
and its approaches ready for the passage
OF boat.

The sides of the excavation, between
the upper and lower gates, have neither
been riprapped nor lined with masonry,
and the letting of water into this portion
of the canal is an experiment. If no
erosion CT its sides is caused by the rise
and fall of the water, the locks can be
continuously operated. If, on the other
hand, a washing of the banks results,
and the working of the valves through
which the lock is filled and emptied, is
interfered with, then concrete walls will
have to be constructed as temporary
expedient.
The appropriation is now exhausted,
and there are no funds even for trifling
outlay of $4,000. This, however, is
small matter as between The Dalles and
Astoria, the two cities who are showing
the most concern and interest for the
locks completion this amount can be
easily raised by popular subscription
and, permission from the war depart
ment having been obtained, the work
can be quickly completed. Thus, it
seems that the prospects for the passage
OF boats through the locks, either with
the middle portion as it now is, or with
the concrete, Is good, and the faith
and hope of the people is stimulated
again.
This, however, is not all. The ray
ages of the flood OF 1894 have taught
that some precaution must be taken TO
protect the strip of land which lies be-
tween the locks and the river from fur
ther washing away. The government
engineers are of the opinion that the
part of this protecting strip bordering
ON the river must be riprapped or guard
ed with masonry, and estimate that the
cost (including also the walls of masonry
between the two gates) will be $4l3. 900.
An intelligent survey of the situation
shows that this further work is neces-
sary. New conditions have arisen, for
which tho former plans do not prove
applicable.
There is but one thing for the people
OF Eastern Oregon to do-set to work
impressing upon our representatives in
congress the urgent necessity of this
further work, that they may use everv
endeavor to secure thesneeded appropri-
alton. The matter should be thorough
~ discussed through the press and In
representative gatherings of all kinds,
SO that the subject will be clearly and
thoroughly understood. Let the COM

UNANIMITY STILL PREVAILS
The Consolidated Churches Elect
Deacona in h TaberDacIe.

The adjourned annual meeting Of the
First Congregational Church was held
last night in the lecture room of the
Tabernacle 1t was evident that both con-
gregarions wished the unanimity that
characterized all meetings relating to the
consolidation of the two churches to con-
tinue. Everything was unanimous. All
the officers were elected unanimously in
a very short space of time The only
thing that was discussed at all was the
name to be given the ediice formerly
known as the South Bergen Reformed
Church.
1t was suggested that as the CONSOLE
dated churches are known as the First
Congregational Church and the old build
ing is known as the Tabernacle it would
be well to call the new church the Temple
or designate 1t in some such a. 1t was
finally decided hat 1t was best to have
no name but the First Congregational
Church for the new building and that
the old church should still be known as
the Tabernacle First Congregational
Church.
Two deacons were to be elected from the
Tabernacle forces to serve four years,
and four deacons from the Hill congre-
cation to serve, respectively four, three.
Hunt were reelected for four years. The
deacons elected from the Hill congrega-
ton were-Charles Crosby, four years;
Samuel R. Collins, three years; Frank
Griswold. two years, and Mryon Kelsey,
one years. William ]. Hunt was re-
elected superintendent Of the down town
Sunday School. and William D. Post of
the Hill school. Two music committees
were elected, one for down town and one
for the Hill. The down town committee
is:-Mrs. Scudder, Miss Frost and Mrs.
H-igginbotham. The Hill committee is
g. M. Craig. Charles Crosby and Benja-
min R. Hoagland. Mr.. George H. Ware
was reelected clerk of the church. The
election of the Sympathy and Help Com
mittee was left till a future meeting.

The reception given in honor of Super
tntendent Snyder, last evening, at School
Nc. Is. was a well deserved tribute to one
OF the most enlightened and efficient
public officials in the county. Jersey City
has been fortunate in its School Superin-
tendents. Mr.. Po.and's career since he
was promoted from the municipal service
to the head Of the State system, has
shown lust the progress that was to be
expected from his admirable work here.
Jersey City has enjoyed reflected credit
from the honors which he has won.
Perhaps one of the highest compliments
that can be paid to Mr.. Snyder is to say
that Mr.. Poland has not been missed from
our schools. Under Mr.. Snyder they have
continued to advance In point of standard
and to grow in point Of efficiency. Dur
teachers are equal to any In the State.
our new school buildings rank with any
in the country. our average results are
unsurpassed. New features are constant
ly being introduced. and all seem to tend
to the betterment of the system.
Mr.. Snyder has one advantage in being
thoroughly professional He has made
teaching his life work. He began at the
foot of the ladder and has worked up
nearly to the top. He knows all about it
himself. He is a thinker and a reader
and at the same time a practical execu-
tive force. He is stilI a young man, con-
sidering his position, and has doubtless
great work yet to do for the cause of edu-
cation We hope he may long remain at
the head of our schools, and if he leaves
US may only do so to broaden his field
of usefulness.
