No action toward a revival Of the reci-
procity scheme will be taken ~ this House

the reciprocity policy taken by the COM

not to recommend any legislation on the

think it inadvisable to take it UP until a
general tariff revision is begun.

him as the military representative at the

immediate action will be taken in this mat
ter. This detail has latterly been given
to officers of the engineer corps, but it is
said that Colonel Ludlow's successor will
most probably be taken from the line of
the army. Owing to the great social ex-
penses attending it the assignment is avoid
ed by all officers not having independent
fortunes.

HARD TO REALIZE.

1t seems hardly credible that the
day of the opening of the Cascade
locks is at last at hand. For twenty
three years hope deferred hath made
many a Dalles heart sick, and now
that the long nightmare of doubt and
uncertainty is ended, it seems I'M
possible to realize it. That it is a
work of the utmost importance to
Eastern Oregon, and particularly 10
The Dalles, we all know, yet none of
us are prepared to peep into the
future and even guess at the results.
When the celebration is over;
when the toot of whistles that here
tofore have awakened the echoes
along the lower river, have come
ringing back from the basaltic walls
that mark the grand old Columbia
when the speeches are over and the
parades and the celebration are all
things of the past, then we may be-
gin soberly to look about US, ard re-
alize that new era has begun.

DOLLY MADIsoN.s TACT.

How She Managed to Win Everybody's
Heart.
It was the tact and genuine kindli-
ness of Dolly Madison that made her
one of the most prominent of American
women. - Several episodes mentioned
in Mrs. Goodwin's Life of Dolly Madi-
son" are significant of this. At one of
her levees, her attention was drawn
TO u rustic visitor, a youth who was
evidently suffering all the torments of
embarrassment. He had at last ven
tured to help himself to a cup of cof-
fee, when Mrs. Madison walked up and
addressed him. In the surprise of the
moment, the lad dropped the saucer and
strove to crowd the cup into his pocket
His tactful hostess took no notice of the
accident, except to observe that in such
crowd no one could avoid being
jostled, and straightway turned the
conversation to the boys family, and
ended by sending her regards to his
excellent mother, and bidding the serv-
ant bring another cup of coffee. On
another occasion two old ladies from
the country arrived at the white house
while the family were still at break
fast. To the surprise of the rural vis-
itors, the woman they had come to see
appeared in stuff dress of dark gray,
protected by large housewifely white
apron, and with linen kerchief pinned
about her neck. Her simplicity of
manner and attire completely swept
away their awe, and before departing
one of them found courage to ask:
Perhaps you wouldn't mind if I kissed
you-just to tell the folks about!"

600 of people for the past two

the result may be, (and we believe
there can be but One) the country

Cling along in the throes of doubt
and the agonies of uncertainty. In

down to its regular business, and the
