Work at the Locks.

A representative of the TINES
MoUNTAINEER visited the Cascades
Monday morning and spent few hours
looking over the government works at
that place and conversing with the
genial people of that city. From what
he could see and learn from parties
who are conversant with the situation,
it is not safe to predict that boat will
pass through the locks inside of a
month, and possibly not for six weeks.
The machinery for operating the gates
is not yet in place, nor have the water
connections been made, and this work
alone will require probably month.
The canal is very nearly completed,
the walls, with the exception of those
between the first and second gates are
finished, and most of the concrete
bottom is laid. The only important
work to be done is the dredging out of
the upper and lower bulkhead. This
work apparen tly is progressing slowly.
The dredger broke down Saturday
and some of its machinery gave way
again Monday. The dredger will likely
be idle for several days. on account of
the captain and engineer of the Sadie
B. having had some misunderstanding
with the contractors, and quit work,
and until their places can be filled, the
dredger cannot be operated, as the boat
is used to haul the barges that carry the
dirt away from the dredger. After
looking over the works at the Cascades
it is not possible to express very
hopeful opinion as to when the locks
will be open for operation.

FORFEITED RAILROAD LANDS.
The Bill Becomes Law being Approved

The Bill Becomes Law being Approved
by the President, Feb. 10.
The bill to protect settlers on for
feited railroad lands is now law.
Mr.. Robert Nc Intosh received tele-
gram from Congressman Ellis Satur-
day, saying the president had signed
the bill, which is as follows:
THAT section three of an act en-
titled AN Act to forfeit certain lands
heretofore granted for the purpose of
aiding in the construction of railroads,
and for other purposes, approved Sep
tember %, 1890, and the several acts
amendatory thereof, be, and the same
is amended so as to extend the time
within which persons entitled to pur-
chase lands forfeited by said act shall
be permitted to purchase the same, in
the terms provided in said section at
any time prior to January 1. 1897: Pro-
vided, That actual residence upon the
lands by persons claiming the right to
purchase the same shall not be re-
quired where such lands have been
fenced, cultivated, or otherwise i'm
proved by such claimants, and such
persons shall be permitted to purchase
two or more tracts of such lands by
legal subdivisions, whether contiguous
or not, but not exceeding three hun
dred and twenty acres in the aggre-
gate. Approved, January %, 1896.

A CROOK COUNTY DUEL.
Two FARMERS Have an Encounter in
Which One is Killed ana the Other

Which One is Killed ana the Other
Badly Wounded.
PRINEVILLE, Or, Feb. 13. 1896.
Editor TINES -MoUNTA1NEER:
Ike Mills, of Beaver creek, in this
county, has just come in and delivered
himself to the sheriff. He says that
yesterday he and J. r. Wagner, of
Beaver creek, had shooting scrape
in which he Mills was badly wounded
and Wagner was killed. 1t appear
from Mills story that the parties have
been on bad terms for some time; that
the day before the tragedy Wagner
sent word to Mills to rehove some
fence that separated their farms. Yes
terday Mills was passing where Wag-
oner was blowing, and called to Wag-
| oner to come up to the road that he
wanted to see him. Wagner ans
wered: 'If you want to see me, come
in here" Mills rode down to where
Wagner was, and found him stand
ing with shotgun in his hands. They
attempted to talk about the fence, but
both got angry. Finally Wagner
struck Mills in the face, and jumped
back and fired one barrel of his gun.
The charge took OBJECT in Mills right
hand, tearing it nearly off. Mills pull
ed his gun and they both shot nearly
together, Mills firing two shots, one of
which at least took effect, as Wagner
| fell back dead, and never moved while
| Mills was in sight. Wagoner's second
shot struck Mills left hand, injuring
it almost as badly as the first did his
right.
After the shooting Mills went home,
and was Immediately brought to town.
He will lose his right hand and posi-
bly, his left.
The sheriff, coroner and deputy
prosecuting attorney have gone to the
scene of the trouble, and on their re-
turn there may be another side of the
story.
Both men have families and are old
residents of the county. Wagner
was about go years of age, while Mills
is comparatively young man.

Prospects of a College.

A meeting of citizens of Hood River
was held at the Congregational church
Monday afternoon last and listened tc
an address by Rev. G. c. Polling on
"Higher Education. After the ad.
dress, Mr.. Polling stated the Evangeli-
cal denomination desired to establish
a college in some part of the state and
suggested that it might be well to see
what encouragement Hood River
would offer to secure such an institu-
tion. On motion, Messrs. Z. L..
Smith, James Hanna, w. II. Bishop
and S. J. LaFrance were appointed as
committee to canvass the town to Sc
cure the sentiment of the people on the
subject. On Wednesday they made
partial canvas of the town, and while
they found unanimity of sentiment
in favor of securing the college, yet
owing to the scarcity of money, the
Indebtedness of our school district and
other causes, the pledges of support
were not so liberal as to offer much en-
couragement. The committee report
ed results of their canvass to Mr.. Pol
ing and will be governed by his sug-
gestions as to future action.-Glacier.

THE SETTLER WINS.
Secretary Hoke Smith Decides Against
the Railroads.

In the case of the Northern Pacific
against Clarence C. North involving
land in Walla Walla land district, the
secretary holds that the commissioner
properly rejected an application of
Nathaniel P. Hall to purchase, and did
the proper thing in cancelling the
latter's homestead entry. Therlan is
within the limit of the grant to the
Northern Pacific, but was excepted
from the operation of the withdrawal
upon general route by reason of pre-
emption filing made June 7, 1870. In
March, II years ago, North filed pre-
emption declaratory statement for the
land, alleging settlement on the same
date. Three months later Hall made
his application, claiming that North
had not complied with the pre-emption
laws, and that he Hall had purchased
the land from the railroad in 1891.
After much detailed and routine pro-
cedure North now wins.

The Dalies is Going Ahead

From present indications there will
be more substantial buildings erected
in The Dalles this year than there has
been any year since the great fire. A.
NJ. Williams s. Co. have determined to
erect large two-story freproof ISX1OO
feet, reaching from French 81 Cos.
bank to the building occupied by NJ.
Honnywill. The front of their pres
ent building will be replaced with a
pressed brick front, to correspond with
the part to be erected. The lower story
of the new building, as we'll as the part
now occupied by the firm, will be used
as salesrooms, and the store when COM
pleted will resemble that occupied by
Lippman & Wolf in Portland. The
plans and specifications for the new
building are being perfected by Gram
dali & Burget, and it will be one of the
handsomest ever erected in the city,
supplied with all the appliances of a
modern and up-to-date store. Besides
this new building, we understand tn at
Max Vogt will soon begin rebuilding
his property that was destroyed in the
great fire of 81 on the corner of Sec
ond and Federal streets, aud thus
this will be a solid fireproof block on
the south side of Second street from
Washington to Federal. Other build
ings are also contemplated which will
add much to the appearance and
wealth of the CITY.

THE MERRY MAsKERs.
A Pleasant Party at the Baldwin Opera
House Friday Night.

The attendance at the mask ball
given under the auspices of the Wood
men and Workmen lodges Friday even
ing was good, all seating room in the
opera house being occupied by specta-
tors, while the dancing floor was fairly
we'll filed with maskers representing
many grotesque and fantastic charac-
ters, though the number of maskers
present was not so great as might have
been expected, considering the ele-
gance of the prizes offered by the man
agement of the ball. But what was
lacking in numbers was made uprin
merriment, those who appeared in cos
tunes having all the fun possible,
while their enjoyment was appreciated
by the spectators. There were num-
Der of elegant costumes, and many OF
the characters were we'll personated,
but to describe them all or venture
upon an expression of who was best
would be impossible. The prize for
the handsomest lady costume was
awarded to Miss Christine Phirman,
:'Grecian lady" the second to Mrs.
Laurensen, who had most novel char
acter and costume, it being the Ameri-
can laundry on wheels. The first gen.
tleman's prize was awarded to w. II.
VanBibber, M. Hansen, W. Norman,
Chas. Nielsen and F. Chrisman, repre-
santing five clowns, and the second to
Henry Harper, who represented an
cient workman.
