The Wamic School.

The first month of the spring term of
the public school at Wamic closed Fri
day, and appropriate oratorical ex-
ercises were rendered in the presence
of some twenty-five visitors. During
the month the school has been most
satisfactory, there having been an en-
rollment of 81 pupils and daily at
tendance of about 81. Under the ex-
cellent supervision of Prof. Fl. G Lake
as principal, and Miss BERTHE Whitaker
as assistant, the school at Wamic is
advancing to that high standard of
perfection that places it second to none
in the county. Literary exercises are
conducted every Friday afternoon. the
school having been divided into two
divisions, one of which renders a pro-
gramme each alternate FRIDAY, to
which the teachers extend cordial
invitation to all patrons and friends of
education.

HOW THEY WERE RUNCoED.
Why That $50, 900 Was Not Forthcoming
to Open the Locks.


Below are few extracts from a let
ter which Senator Mitchell is sending
to his constituents, explaining why
the $4,000 carried in the resolution
which passed both houses, was not
available for the completion OF the
walls between the first and second
locks at the Cascades:
"About the middle of March the at
tention of the Oregon delegation was
called to the fact that something must
be done by congress Immediately TO
facilitate the early opening OF the
canal and locks at the cascades. i'm
mediately consulted with the chief Of
engineers for the purpose Of ascertain
ing precisely what was necessary to be
done by congress, if anything to insure
their early opening. 1 was advised
that there were between forty and fifty
thousand dollars balance appropriated
unexpended and was assured, as was
the whole delegation, and if a sum not
exceeding twenty Thousand dollars of
this amount could be made available
Immediately in constructing on the
land and river sides of the canal be-
tween the upper lock gate masonry,
such portions OF the walls proposed by
the modified project presented by the
board of engineers, as may be neces-
sary to construct in advance of the
opening of the canal to commerce,
that then all work necessary to the
opening of the locks could be CON-
pleted inside of month and the canal
and locks opened. At this same time
one of the contractors. Mr.. l. n. Day,
was in Washington, and in the pres
ence of the chief of engineers, after
hearing the engineers statement, coin
cided in that view of the case. I then
asked the chief of engineers to prepare
a joint resolution covering the case
and my colleagues and l would get it
through the two houses if possible
and as soon as possible. The resolution
was prepared by the chief of engineers
and Senator Mcbride and [ took hold
of the matter at once and promptly
passed it through the senate. The
resolution then" went to the house
where some delay occurred in getting
it up, occasioned by the speaker Of the !
house postponing it for other matters.
1t finally passed the house some two
weeks after it passed the senate and |
was signed by the presid mt on the 9th
of April.
Scarcely had the resolution become
a law when we were advised that the
forty or fifty thousand dol ars unex-
pended balance at the date the resolu-
tion was presented to the senate had
been used up, leaving nothing for the
resolution to attach to. As the sun
dry civil bill, however, which has
passed the house, contains an appro-
priation of S179,59 for continuing the
improvement at the cascades, l i'm
mediately went before the appropria-
tion committee of the senate and had
incorporated in substance and effect as
an anne ndment to that bill the resolu-
tion heretofore passed setting apart
10000 of this S179, 597, for the purpose
of completing these walls, the COM
pletion of which we were assured both
by the engineer department and the
contractors. through Mr.. /. N. Day,
would enable the locks to be opened
to commerce without delaYn

WILL COMPLETE THE LOCKS.
A Prominent Citizen of The Dalles Offers
to Perform the Work

A Prominent Citizen of The Dalles Offers
to Perform the Work.
The people of the Inland Empire
have despaired of seeing the locks at
the Cascades opened for traffic this
year if the government is depended
upon to perform the work, and will be
pleased to learn that there is a prom
inent resident of this city who says he
is willing to enter into a contract
with the government to rip-rap those
walls that are condemned as being un-
safe. and will open the locks for the
passage of boats within one month, if
the government will give him the use
of the canal for one season. He will
agree to put the canal and locks in per-
feet working order, pass boats through
free of charge during the entire sea-
son. and assume the responsibility of
operating them free of charge, if al
lowed the use of the canal fer fish
trap during the salmon season. What
better offer can the government ask
than this? If the work is done by the
government it will cost no less than
10000, and now it can save that
amount by turning the job over to
private citizen. And what better
proposition can the citizens of the
country ask, since they have aban-
doned all hope of the government
doing anything toward opening the
locks this year? 1t would be well for
the Dalles Commercial Club to inquire
into this offer, and have it submitted |
to the war department.

Held Without Bends.

The preliminary trial of VIM. Baer
and Richard Hinkle, charged with
numbering G. A. Scott and burning
his body to hide their crime, was held
before Recorder Cattanach in this city
last Tuesday. A large number of wit
uesses had been subpanaed from the
country adjacent to where the crime
had been committed, and the evidence,
though purely circumstantial, was de-
cidedly unfavorable to the defendant
Baer, and he was held to appear before
the next grand jury, and committed to
the custody of the sheriff without
bonds. Hinkle was discharged from
custody.-Canyon City News.

The palIes Public Schools

If there is any one thing in which
The Dalles takes greater pride than
another, it is the efficiency of its pub.
lie schools, which are recognized to be
inferior to those of no other city in
the state except it be Portland. And
that this efficiency shall prevail, it is
evident from the increase in daily
attendance, that additional school
room must be supplied in the near
future. A comparison of the average
daily attendance for the four weeks
ending April II, during the past four
years, which is as follows, is self-evi-
dent proof of this condition:
1896, average daily attendance. .571
1895. average daily attendance. $50
1894, average daily attendance. -. .4lS
1893, average daily attendance. .3o5
The decrease from the highest aver
age daily attendance for the present
year was At, as compared with de-
crease of IS for the same period last
year. The present buildings furnish
rooms for only fifteen teachers, and
the I'll in attendance give an average
of 38 to each teacher, which is all they
can we'll control, hence if the attend
ance increases the coming year as it
has in thepast, additional school build
ings are an absolute necessity.

The people here are curious to know
just what this additional appropriation
means, whether it is a second adjunct
OF the fake perpetrated last March,
pretending to set aside $4,000 worth
OF nothing to construct the walls be-

is really what it SEEMS to be, an appro-

statement that tits intended to secure

little suspicious, and if it means what
it says, we trust the appropriation will
not be made, for if it is. babes that are
yet unborn will not dive to see the
