guns. The Harvest Queen but-came
through far enough to again greet the
waters of the Middle Colum bia, where
her keel first struck the water, and then
turned and steamed back again..
Captain Fisk, who has charge of the
works, Civil Engineer Morris and
Messrs. j. 6. and I. N. Day seemed to
take pride in answering a throng of
questions tha6 were continuously pro-
pounded, and by their courtesy added
largely to the enjoyment of the occa-
sion.
At 4:3O the steamers pulled out for
The Dalles, and half an nour later the
train followed. loaded with citizens of
the Inland Empire, who long ago had
despaired of seeing the sight they had
just witnessed. At Z AS the boats swept
round the point of rocks, and in a few
moments were lying side by side at the
d. P. & A. n. wharf. Everybody and
every body else was there to see. Kick
itat and Sherman counties had sent
large delegations, and Wasco was repre-
eented by at least half her citizens.
The parade formed at 8:15 and headed
by the troop of mounted men, followed
the line of parade laid down for it.
Along the line of parade every house was
illuminated, and down Second street the
windows of our, business houses were
beautifully decorated and aglow with
electric lights. For half dozen blocks
the streets were afame with the gleam
of colored lights that burned until the
last man In the procession had passed.
Arriving at the Vogt Grand, the inn
mense building was filled to it's utmost
capacity before one-half the vast assem-
blage had entered. On the stage were
seated number of prominent citizens
of Klickitat, Sherman and Wasco coun-
ties, and without delay Mayor Menefee
introduced Hon. John Michel of this
city, who, after drawing vivid pictuie
of the future of the Inland Empire, ex-
tended in eloquent sentences a hearty
welcome to our visitors.

DETAILS OF THE cELEBRATIoN
The Boats Came Through. and Crowds
We're There to See.

Thursday, Nov 5th, 1896, will ever be
red-letter- day in the history of The
Dalles. The weather was simply per-
feet, the sky cloudless, the air bracing,
with suggestion of frostiness that
coupled with the glad event sent the
blood tinkling through artery and vein.
By 9 O'Clock the boat was crowded al
most to the limit OF her carrying ca
pacity. and on the wharf and the beach
was on enthusiastic crowd of 5000 or
more cheering citizens, many of whom
later made the trip to the Locks by
train. At 9 :30.the last passenger was on
board, and with waving hats and hand
kerchiefs, ringing cheers and footing
whistles, the good steamer Regulator
pulled out from the wharf and turned
her prov down stream, to, for the first
time, meet and greet her consort of the
lower river. Mt. Hood, covered with
new fallen snow, seemed, as passenger
remarked, "to have put on clean shirt
and fixed up for the occasion" The
stirring music furnished by our mag
niicent band echoed and re-echoed from
the wooded hills that guard and guide

Memaloose, with streaming banners,
the engines drove the keen prov through
the blue waters. A thing life and

when Mr.. Whitcomb and others were
taken on board, at Hood River, where
Mayor L. N. Blowers, accompanied by
the city council. Hon. E. L. Smith and
others joined the crowd; at White

A Confession From Havana.

Through the medium of a sneering dis
patch sent out by the Spanish authorities
at Havana We are Informed that the in
surgent leaders are nearly all men without
property; that the insurgent force does not
exceed thirty-five thousand: that three
thousand of the insurgents are under twen-
ty years OF age: and that many of the Gu
bars are without firearms. Spanish pride
must be considerably lowered in tone or it
would not admit that the Spanish army of
Eeariy two hundred thousand warriors is
practically helpless although supported by a
strong naval force and assailed only by
ABOUT tnlrty-hve thousand moneyless and
han-armed Cubans, three thousand of
whom are boys.

Representative Grosvenor's statement to

day in this city Is. unfortunately, too
nearly true to be subject for controversy.
When the oleomargarine law first went
into effect 1T was supposed to provide all
sufficient protection against the active dis
honesty of those dealers who are perfectly
willing to cheat their customers so long as
the knavery is safely possible. But 1t has
since been discovered that the mere en-
actment Of properly stringent law was
not sufficient; in fact, there might just as

the public to proceed without hindrance.
Prosecutions of some of the many who in
this city have been engaged in selling oleo-
margarine as butter. at butter prices, are
now being proceeded with. The District
attorney is satisfied that convictions will
result in a great majority, if not all. of the
cases. But it is a noteworthy fact that
these prosecutions would not have been
had the matter been left entirely with the
officials who are supposedly engaged in the

Massachusetts, Town Libraries.

From the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.
The growth of town libraries, an en-
tirely modern institution, and best devel-
oped in Massachusetts, is very remark
able. The state named has now no less
than 500 libraries. of which 256 are owned
and managed out and out by the respec-
tive municipalities; in thirty-six they are
represented in the management, and there
are twenty others to which town money is
appropriated. These repositories of knowl-
edge contain now an aggregate of 3,2OO,-
600 volumes, and their annual circulation
shows the surprising figure Of over $780,
COO, or about three volumes per head per
year.
This Is a great showing, and Is one Of
the most encouraging signs Of the times.
