sition to make to those interested in the
immediate opening OF the Cascade locks
that ought to meet the approval of every
Oregonian from Point Adams to Snake
river. 1 see by the papers that Lieut..
Harry Taylor has been promoted and
ordered to take charge OF some score OF
government works in Washington that
the government never intends to finish.
Now don't you think it would be good
idea for US to petition the secretary of
war to send Captain Fisk and 'ColoneT'
Day to keep Harry company. 1t will he
awful lonely for Harry away up on the
raging Stillaguamish OF by the deserted
mud fats of the Swinomish. On the
promotion" of these gentlemen as
aforesaid, 1 suggest that the works be
turned over to the supervisor of road
district No. for completion.

that the expert accountant employed by
the secretary OF state has found short
age Of $4,000 in the trust funds ac-
count OF T. J. Keickhoefer, until recent
" the disbursing officer Of the state
department This amount, together
with the $4,000 shortage said to be
found by the auditing officers OF the
treasury in Mr.. Keickhoefer's general
account, brings the total up TO 1888, 600.
What action the government will take
IN the matter has not been made known.
Mr.. KeickhOefer had been disbursing
ofncer OF the state department through
several administra tons and was univer-
sally regarded as a thoroughly compe-
tent and faithful official Several
months ago. however, Mr.. Olney, upon
evidence which he considered sufficient
10 warrant the step, removed him ana
appointed his successor. From the first
