THROUGH THE LOCKS
First Steamer From "East of
the Mountains" ~.
THE STEAM PROPELLER SADIE B.
An Open River and Through Boats to
The Daties Is No Longer an
Uncertain Possibility.

Portland, Or, Sept. 1s.-The little
steam propeller Sadie b.. the first
steamer to pass through the Cascade
looks from the Middle Columbia to the.
lower river, arrived at Portland yester-
day morning. Her trip through the
locks was made several days ago, but
this is her first trip to Portland. The
construction of the mammoth locks has
dragged along through so many years,
and at times seemed SO far from COM
pletion, that it was difficult to convince
many that they ever would be com.
pleted. The trip of the Sadie b.,
though, is sufficient evidence for the
most skeptical that we have at last wa.
ter communication with that vast re-
gion east of the mountains, and, while
it will be quite while before regular
steamers can make use of the looks. the
trip of this small steamer has demon
strated that the open river is no longer
dream of the distant future. The
Sadie B. is propeller, about So feet
long, Ia feet beam and feet hold,
with double engines 12x14 inches.
The hull was built at Portland and
towed to the lower cascades, and from
there taken overland to the middle riv.
er. Here it was launched and equipped
with engines from the burned steamer
Cyclone. On completion, the craft was
used by the contractors in their work
above the falls at the head of the canal.
When this was finished, she was need.
cd below the falls, and ON September 8,
having in tow the dredger used in the
canal, two dump scows and the barge
Interstate, loaded with ITO cords of
wood, she entered the upper lock and
was dropped down to the last gate in
the lower lock. Here she remained
until the following Monday, when the
lower gate was opened and she passed
through and out to the open river at
the foot Of the rapids. The barge In
tesrtate, after discharging her wood,
was taken back up through the locks to
the middle river. The contractors had
considerable work for the steamer at
the lower end of the canal, and she re-
mained there until yesterday, when
she made her first trip to Portland for
the purpose of getting her papers
changed. Her certificate will give her
permission to ply on the waters of the
Columbia between The Dalles and
Cape Hancock, and will be the first one
of the kind ever issued, The work OF
finishing the second lock is progressing
rapidly, and in short time there will
be through boats" for The Dalles.

Nearly All the Workmen to BE Laid on
for Lack of Funds.
Portland, Or, Sept. 81. 21.--Rumorshave
been afiost for the past day or two to
the effect that work ON tho Astoria.
Goble railroad was to be stopped for
the winter. There have been so many
reports in regard to this road that any
new one attracts but little attention;
but 1t appears on investigation that
this latest one, while not wholly COR
rect, is we'll founded
From the best information attaina-
BILE, it seems quite certain that about
three-fourths of the men at work ON
the line are to be laid off today. The
three dredges, which have been work.
ing night and day building the EN-
bankment, or grade, across the tide
lands above Tongue point, will be kept
at work; but will work in the day
time only. 1t was reported yesterday
that eighteen Of the camps on the road
have been abandoned, and that there
are only eleven left. This means the
cessation of work ON the greater part
of the line on high ground. The reason
given for keeping the dredges at work
on the tideland is that it is desirable to
get the grade built there before next
spring, as high food might interrupt
it. The work on the high ground can
be done at any time, and next summer
to better advantage than during the
winter, and there need be no trouble
about the road being completed by next
harvest. 1t is said that the reason for
stopping work is the impossibility of
securing money TO carry it on, on ac.
count of the financial situation.

poorly drilled, badly dressed and bad
shooters They avoid fighting, but
fight desperately when forced to. In
open battle they will meet with sure
defeat by the well-drilled Spaniards,
but their war is one of strategy and
tricks. Wells are poisoned, also fruit
and food. Dynamite is sowed broad
cast. Every scheme is resorted to ex-
cept real fighting.
In view of this state of affairs, we
might, without fear, accomplish the
capture Of the Philippine islands, not
by force, as did the French in Madaoas-
car, but with tacit and underhand aid

states with. the Cuban rebels. To

of the Americans, we might easily Sc.

London, Sept. 21.-The Chronicle
this morning has an editorial in which
it welcomes the suggestion of the st.

States and Italy, would solve the
Armenian problem. The Chronicle
looks upon this as a proposal having
nothing in comomn with cynical in
difference, and greatly hopes that it
will find an echo in the United States.

that an American admiral was last
year ordered to lombard Yildiz palace

were subsequently, withdrawn when
the Venezuela dispute came to head

Gazette SO wisely commends."
