George Runyon's boy, 10 years old,
proved himself hero the other night,
when a burglar tried to enter the house.
The boy awoke by the noise of a window
being very cautiously raised, and in
stead of shouting to his papa or pulling
the clothes over his head, made break
for the closet, where the gun was. The
burglar became alarmed and fled in the
darkness, but if Master Runyan had got
a bead on the prowler he would GER
tainly have been shot.

URGING ON THE work.
The DalIes Commercial Club and the
Cascade Locks.

Cascade Locks.
/ The Commercial Club was called to
order at O'Clock last evening at the
club rooms by President J. S. Schenck,
who stated the object of the meeting to
be to hear the report of the delegates
sent to Cascade Locks an February 11th,
and take suitable action thereon. There
upon Mr.. A. S. Mac Allister, chairman
of the committee, presented a report,
CLEAR in expression, complete in detail,
Exhaustive in information, and alto
gether a careful and painstaking paper,
embodying as well a resolution, the
wisdom of which was made apparent by
being adopted by the club without op-
position.
The report, which is quite lengthy,
stated that "on Feb. 11th the committee
met J. H. D. Gray, of the Astoria Cham
ber of Commerce, and James Crawford, of
the Vancouver Board of Trade, and to-
gether called on Messrs. Day and Lieut..
Taylor. They came to the following
conclusions: That the contract work
will be completed by March 1st; that
the bulkheads at the upper and lower
ends of the canal will be removed SO as
to allow the passage of boats within six
weeks; that it is uncertain if the locks
can be successfully operated without ad-
ditional work be done in the middle
locks, in which there is no way to pre-
vent the loose rock and dirt from wash
ing down, and thereby interfering with
the operation of the lower gate by chok-
ing the valves. If this should happen,
the operation of the locks would be sus-
pended until such time as suitable walls
could be built to prevent euch condi-
ton.
"Lieut. Taylor, in explanation to the
committee, said that the examination of
the character of the rock was originally
made by boring, and that it was thought
the rock was of sufficient frmness, but
since the excavation it was found that
it slacks when exposed to the air, max
ing it necessary to protect the banks
with concrete work and masonry on
both sides. The concrete work could be
put in at an estimated expense of &c.
900, which would be sufficient to protect
the locks and gates until masonry could
be put in.
''Still another important feature is
the protection of the locks, which are
now endangered by any ordinary high
water. It was recommended by the en-
gineers to the special session of congress
of last year that further appropriation
of $4l3,o be made by congress to rip
rap the entire north bank of the sriver
between that and the locks, setting forth
that any ordinary high water is likely to
wear away the bank, composed of loose
rock and dirt, and sweep away the labor
of years. That OF this amount $179, ,597
could be proftably expended during the

SOME WAR FIGURES
That May Not Bo Known to Many OF the
Present Generation.

That May Not Be Known to Many of the
Present Generation.
When the southern states seeded
from the union over one-eighth of tho
population of the country consisted OF
slaves. OF these 175,000 entered the
United States service before the close
of the war and fought nobly for their
own freedom.
The first troops were volunteers and
there was no drafting or con scripting
until 1863. In the army and navy
forces there were nearly 100000 of
men engaged in the defense of the flag.
OF this number something like $1,000
were regulars or belonged to the stand
ing army of the United States.
OF the troops in the union army two
thirds were American born, and of the
one-third foreign born most of them
were naturalized citizens. They enlist
ed at first for three months and were
called NINETY day" men; then the en-
listments were made for wear, and
toward the end for ''three years or the
war"
The northern army was divided into
25 army corps, consecutively numbered,
and one cavalry corps.
1t is estimated that of every 1000
men in the union army 70 men on the
sick list and 234 absent for various rea-
sons was the general average, leaving
693 reporting for duty.
The number of men who deserted
reached 19o,o45; those dismissed from
the service, 2,423; those dishonorably
discharged, 2,603; cashiered, 274; exc
cuted by sentence, z; making a total
of 204, ,442 who disgraced the army blue
The number of men killed in battle
and died on the field was 61 ,362. There
were BATH died of wounds, 49,, ,2S7 died
of disease, BOG were accidentally killed,
6.74o were missing in action and never
accounted for, 174,577 were honorably
discharged, 224,306 were discharged for
disability, and 22.2s1 resigned.
Summing up all the losses from dis
ease, battle and casualty, it is estimated
that 100000 men lost their lives in the
war of the rebellion. They found death
on c,4oo fields worthy name in history,
averaging two BATTLES a day for each
day of the war. In $50 of these battles
the loss in each was over 500 men.
The north raised money on loans from
abroad. increasing the United States
debt from $s5,OOO,OO0 in 1861 to S., 2,617,-
100000 in 1865. The whole cost of the
war is estimated to have been So, 3,4Oo,-
100000, or about So, 100000 day.
There are buried in the national cem-
eteries 31S,s70 men who died in battle
and in prison, or from the effects of one
or both.
AT the close of the war there were
100000 men in the service; of this
number 650,o0o were available for active
duty.-St. Paul Globe.
