CASCADE PORTAGE.
Result of the Attorney-General's In
spection.

A dispatch from Salem to the Ore
gonian, says:
tsThe delay in operating the portage
railway at The Dalles, and the conten-
tion as to the rights on the part of the
government contractors engaged in dig
ging the canal, and of shippers, has de-
manded the consideration of the state
portage railway commission for some
time. A few weeks ago the matter was
referred to the attorney-ge with the
request that he make q personal in
spection of the situation at the locks
and report upon the rights of the con-
tending parties.
''The attorney general has made his
report, and finds that the landings and
nearly ali the switches of the road at
the upper end are on the states ground.
The only part of the road constructed by
the government contractors, as reported,
extends from point opposite an old
stable, down the river, to the govern
ment canal, where landings have been
heretofore made. The rest of the road
has been constructed at different times,
either by the state or government.
''The attorney general concludes his
report with this statement:
s''I will not suggest to your honor
able commission further than to say
that there are two ways in which
the state may operate its road.
The first will be to get the con-
sent of the government contractors to
run over the line of the road built by
themselves, making the landing at the
lower end of the government canal.
This can be put IN condition with small
outlay in repairing the lower end of the
road. The second will be to operate
over the upper road, making repairs at
the incline, which the superintendent
informs me will cost between $1,000 and
$4,000. If this upper road is used, in my
opinion it may be operated without
hindrance from the government con-
tractors, as the entire line was built by
the state and the United States govern
ment before the contract was entered
into between the United States and the
government contractors now at work -

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
.sDick'' Closter Attempts to End His
Life this Morning by Shooting.

/Richard Closter, familiarly known as
E'Uncle Dick'' by a host of friends,
shocked and amazed the whole commu-
nifty early this morning by trying to end
his life, with what success remains to be
seen. A bullet from So caliber re-
volVer ploughed it's way in and down
ward into the interior of his head, the
point of entrance being about an inch
behind the ear. a probe FIVE inchek
long was inserted its full length without
discovering the location of the bullet OH
the extent of the wound.
Mr.. Closter and Mr.. Schultz have beenl
rooming together in the MichelbachI
block, corner of Union and Second
streets. Last night Closter went to the
train with Judge Liebe and family, who
were looking for a friend to arrive from
the west. When the Liebes parted
company from their old friend he seemed
to be in his usual spirits. This was
about 10 80 O'CLOCK
clock this morning Mr.. Schultz
was awakened by the pistol shot, in the
room adjoining, and hurrying from his
bed found the old gentleman in dazed
condition from the effects of the shot,
the revolver having dropped from his
hand. Schultz hurried to the telephone
and summoned DR.. Hollister, who ar
rived in less than five minutes. He
found Closter on his knees, the blood
streaming from the left side ofshis face,
blindly cropping with his hands over the
floor for the pistol. He was conscious of
the doctors approach and begged him to
give him something to finish the deed.
AS quickly as possible and assisted by
DR.. Logan, the two physicians made an
examination of the injuries. The bones
in the face are fractured, and the bullet
has not yet been found, but is thought
to be lodged near the roof of the mouth
and in close proximity to the throat. It
is impossible to predict the result of the
injury. 1t is possible that Mr.. Closter
may recover, or he may not. He is now
under the influence of morphine.
Richard Closter's face has been one of
the most familiar on our streets for
years. HIS was a kindly and jovlal ma
ture and he had not an enemy in the
world so far as known. He is 81 years
old, an age where it might be supposed
he would await the approach of the
Reaper without desiring to himself cut
off the few years of life naturally re-
manning to him. No reason can be as
signed with certainty for his committing
the deed. After the shooting he told
one of his nearest friends that he was
not worth anything in the world. Mr..
Schultz attributes the deed to insomnia,
as he has not slept well for several
nights. Mr.. Closter came to California
in 1s49 and to Oregon in 1868. He for
merly was packer and teamster to
Grant county and the Idaho mines.
Mr.. Closter was native of Oldenburg,
Germany.
p. m.-The condition of Mr.. Closter
has not changed. He is now in semi-
stupor and suffers no pain.
