is that the baking of the autumn is

A Great occasion.

On account of the celebration Thurs
day no paper will be issued from this Of
fee. If there was ever day, that ap-
pealed to The Dalles for a universal out
pouring of her citizens and general and
grand celebration, that day is Thursday,
and the celebration is the opening of the
locks at the Cascades, the removal
of the letters from the Columbia, the
opening of the grand old river to naviga-
tion from Tum Water to tide water,
from The Dalles to Astoria, the making
possible of river navigation free an un-
obstructed from The Dalles to Eugene,
from eastern to southern Oregon, from
one side of the mountains to the other.
1t is an occasion for which we have
waited with what patience we could for
% long years, and which in Importance,
will not be equaled in a generation. 1t
is fitting that all business be laid aside,
and that one and all devote the day to
rejoicing.

Our earnest wish is that our business

The late William II. Steinway is 10 have
a monument erected to his memory. II
will be paid for entirely by contributions
from the German-Americans of Greater
New York, and Is the outcome of an edi-
torial suggestion which appeared in Das
Morgen Journal following the day of the
interment OF the great philantropist and
piano manufacturer.
on the evening Of the day Of the burial
of Steinway. however delegation of the
leading members of the iiederkranZ Club
assembled and discussed the proposition
Of placing his bust among those that
adorn the rooms OF the club. DIR. Joseph
II. Senner, Or. MittlerdOf. Professor r..
Keller, Dr. Philip Gruenthal, and others
were present at that meeting.
Every member OF the club who attended
the meeting was enthusiastic over the
idea OF adding the bust of another great
and good man TO the mute array. but the
appearance Of the Morgen Journal, pre-
senting the idea of monument In bronze,
to be erected in one of the public parks,
was Immediately recognized as the most
appropriate tribute to the dead man.
Dr.. Senner Immediately called another
meeting composed OF the same men, ana
the proposition was discussed fully. As
a result of the conference the work OF
forming the Steinway Monument Assocla-
ton will be begun at once.
Such clubs as the Arion. Deutsche
Kriegeburd. SchulZ-Nerin, German Press
Club. and others, have expressed through
their most prominent members, VIII
lingness to cooperate with the Lieder-
kranz and make the monument one OF the
finest ever erected in America.
The German Press Club had been pre-
pairing TO open a Steinway monument
fund some days before the Liederkranz
began it's work. bat they have now de-
cided 10 blend the work Of forming the
society and have 1t done entirely under
the auspices Of the Leiderkranz.
A meeting will be held at the rooms
OF the German Press Club with view to
making this amalcamation and at the
same time to formulate a plan 10 secure
the fund for the monument. Later n
committee of design will be chosen.
