had a tendency to promote the best
of feeling. Mr.. Jones found an early
opportunity to take up the question of
the locks and their importance as a
commercial factor In our development
He impressed upon him the magnitude
of our annual wool and grain interests,
our immense stock interests, the large
number of carloads of fruit which leaves
every season for the north and middle
west, and the fishing interests, which
employ hundreds of men every year;
that the wool shipments alone amounted
last year to between six and seven mil
lion pounds, and that this year they
would be increased by million more.
The tourist was impressed with the
truth of Mr.. JONES' statements, and be-
ing invited to the house, he was shown
enough documentary evidence of the re-
sources OF our country to everlastingly
remove the veil of misinformation
placed before his eyes by certain Port
land jobbers. That Portland has antag-
onized the construction of the locks
with all the power che could command,
has long been known, but it is not often
that the particular way in which she
does it comes to light, as in this in
stance. They do not talk in this man

cause many deaths, but 1t did not even
create discomfort IN The Dalles. There
are two reasons for this. The heat of
summer, like the cold in winter, is not
so penetrating as in the trans-Missis-
sippi country. Then there is nearly al
WAYS west breeze, which being freight
ed with the life-giving oxygen OF the
ocean air, invigorates, instead of debil-
itates. Our climate 1s all that could be
desired.
Hon. Robt. Mays, who has been out
threshing, says he found the banner
threshing crew. They are Capt. Van
Woodruf7s outfit, sixteen in number,
all enthusiastic Mckinley supporters.
They say: "Give US old-time Repub-
lican rule and then we can always find
something to do, and with ample en-
ployment comes good wages and plenty
of money!" Mr.. Mays says this is the
second threshing outfit he has seen who
shout Mckinley at every opportunity.
Mr.. ). w. Lauderbach of Stevenson,
who was in the city yesterday, stated
that there were about 80 miners in the
Rock creek country digging gold. The
pay does not run high, but as rule
miners can easily pan out from $3.50 to
81 per day. The way in is over very
high mountain, inaccessible in winter,
and arrangements are already being
made by miners to get enough provision
stored Oy this summer to run them
through the winter months. Once in the
mining district the altitude islittle great
er than at Stevenson, and there need be
no cessation of labor on account of the
season. There is abundance of water
everywhere.

DON'T WANT TIE LOCKS OPEN
Portland JObbers BeIfvtIe the Inland
Empire and Create Adrerse
Sentiment.

A party of Indiana tourists, business
men and their wives, came up ON the Reg
ulator last night. With them were mer-
chant of The Dalles and his wife, whom
we will call Mr.. and Mrs Jones, as they
do not desire publicity in the matter.
They became acquainted with them on
the way up from the locks, and the story
of their acquaintance is worth telling.
Mrs. Jones happened to be sitting near
them in the ladies cabin, when the con-
versation turned upon the locks. The
gentlemen were telling their wives all
about them with that peculiar satisfac-
ton every man feels when he thinks he
is imparting valuable and exclusive in
formation to his better half. The woman,
noticing the grand walls of masonry and
other evidences of the great work at the
locks. had inquired of their husbands
concerning their utility.
"Those locks are fraud,'' said the
gentleman addressed with all the conf
dence born of complete information.
"Tbey have been building over twenty
years. The reason they have not been
completed long years ago is because they
are of no use when they are built.
There Is nothing to ship when they are
completed. 1t was just a political
scheme in the first place to furnish jobs
to pay political debte. The country
which they command is nothing but a
barren waste-just stock range, not
very good for that. The only part of
Oregon worth anything is the William
cite valley country and it's outlet is
Portland.
Mrs. Jones could not help overheariDg
these remarks, and looking in the face
of the lady addressed noticed the look of
commiseration gradually assuming ex-
preston thereon. The fearful misrep-
resentation oubled Mrs. Jones and she
spoke to her husband about it. He
made up his mind to remedy the i'm
preston, if possible. Before he got
through he discovered that the tourist
was merely reproducing the sentiments
and misstatements OF some Portland
jobbers, and in this way they are infiu-
encing the sentiment of the East against
the locks and Eastern Oregon. The
spirit is one of blind selfshness Most
of the Portland business men imagine
that when the locks are opened they
will lose the trade of Eastern Oregon,
and in conjunction with the railroad in
terests viii do as they have done, retard
the work at the locks by every means in
their power.
Before these particular tourists had
finished with Mr.. Jones, however, they
were made aware of their false esti-
mate, and hereafter they will champion
the cause of the Inland Empire when
ever they hear it assailed. The gentle
man had concluded his talk with the
ladies and was taking kodak picture of
one of the beautiful scenic points of in
terest on the Columbia which even
Portland business men are powerless to
disparage. Mr.. Jones found him very
pleasant gentleman and they had sew
eral mutual friends in Indiana, which

A store in the city has Mckinley caps,

dates in bold letters, and the Bryan and
Sewall caps have silver trimmings in the
same style. Asking one of the little
fellows, who more Mckinley cap, how
they were selling, he replied that about
thirty boys had the Mckinley cap,
while about four had the Bryan head
gear. This is probably about the ratio
their papas would vote.

q $4,000 cleanup.

Walter Brown was in Long Creek a
few days since, having just completed
cleaning up at his placer mine at the
Black Butte mines. His cleanup was a
neat sized gold brick amounting to $1,000,
and while not as large as he expected,
yet it is sufficient to enable him to de-
clare dividend of $500 to each of the
seven shareholders of the NINE. The
Dunlap placer mine, of which Mr..
Brown has had control for the past two
years. has ranked among Grant county's
best gold producers, and is good to hold
such record for several seasons yet.
