TaEY WENT INTO HIDING.
Judge Lowell Has Scared all the Slot
Machines out of Pendietou,

Machines out of Pendleton.
At the convening of circuit court in
Pendleton last Monday, Judge Lowell,
in his charge to the grand jury, called
attention to the law prohibiting slot,
machines, and insisted that it be en-
forced. Speaking of the result of the
charge, the East Oregonisn says:
Judge Lowell's order to the grand
jury to investigate the slot.machine
matter and see that steps were taken
to secure rigid enforcement Of the
Proebstel anti-machine law has been
taken in earnest by everyone here.
Although twenty.four hours ago the
machines could be seen in every cigar
store, saloon and many other places,
there is not now one in sight in PEN
dleton. AS though by magic these
machines disappeared, and the grand
jury on its rounds Of the city found no
violations Of the law being carried
on.
There Is much local interest in the
court incident from the fact that the
author of the bill, Senator G.. W.
Proebstel, of Weston, is from this
county, and because to all appearance
all over Oregon the law has thus far
been entirely disregarded.
Upon the passage of the law and its
signing by Governor Geer, the state
officers hero gave official notice that
the law would be rigidly enforced, and
the machines were taken out very
quickly. Gradually. they came back
and have been used of late by all who
desired. Judge Lowell's order, which
concerns q matter of such apparent
nevertheless created quite q |
among those who are affec.
Ted, and the judge naturally receives
some attention from them just now.
BE, however, is firm, and insists that |
70 long as the law remains on the |
statute books, he will see that it is
enforced.

It Must be at the, Month of the Columbia
f. River.

-tis em@
It Must be at the, Mouth of the Columbia
Why Portland should ever haye
been made the principal outlet for the
trade of Oregon has often puzzled
many, for it is located 30 far inland
thstsit has ever been placed at an un-
favorable disadvantage when brought
in competition with the cities thai
were situated Immediately on the sea
coast. But in the early settlement of
the state, the Willamette valley was
the first home of the pionesrs, and
Portland being located near the mouth
of the Willamette river and also being
accessible to ocean vessels, naturally
became the distributing poiEt for the
rest of the state and the base of secur-
ing supplies.
But in the evolution that is going
on, the close competition between
both buyers and sellers, the mouth Of
the Columbia is destined to supplant
Portland as the great distributing
point for Westera Oregon and large
portion of Eastern Oregon aud Wash
ington. The great expense of bring
ing ocean vessels from the mouth Of
the river to Portland, and the fact that
no large sea going vessel can take on
full cargo at Portland must in time
work against that city. The building
of q railroad TO the mouth Of the river
and the fact that freights can be car.
ried cheaper by river boats than by
ocean vessels from interior points to
the mouth of the Columbia, makes 1t
certain that Portland must soon lose
its prestige as the warehouse for
Oregon. These facts existing, one
begins to wonder where the trade oi
the state will center. The casual OBJ
server would probably say Astoria,
but he must realize that Astoria toe
has its disadvantages. Had it not, II
The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1899-06-10

would long since have been the prin.
cipal city Of the state. The dissdvan.
tage with which Astoria must contend
is that its anchorage for large vessels
Is not protected from the winds, hence
the harhor is not inviting. But
further down the river, at the
new town of Warrenton, one
finds every facility for the making
of a large city. Its harbor Is so situ-
ated that vessels at anchor are pro-
tected from the ocean winds, its water
front is located so that the largest
ships may anchor with perfect safety,
and its bounds extend over level
track of land that admits of the erec-
tion of large docks and warehouses at
the least possible expense. The ad-
vantages of this point were recognized
by A. B. Hammond, promoter of the
railroad leading to the mouth Of the
river, hence he secured terminal
grounds there for his road.
In course Of time all the products Of
the Inland Empire must find their way
down to the Columbia river either by
boat or rail, for the transportation
rates must be lighter on the downhill
haul along the river than they are
across the Cascade mountains to
Puget sound. This alone will make
some point near the mouth of the Co.
lumbia the principal city of the North
west, and from present appearances
Warrenton is destined to be that place.
At present it is what might be termed a
city on paper, but before the expiration
Of another decade 1t will be city in

In realty there will ere long realize
good returns on their investment, for |

to make of it a great and

The strawberry harvest drags slowly
along. The continued cool weather is
discouraging to growers, especially
when the prices are way up and the
demand for our berries in Montana can
not be supplied at s6 and 81 q crate.
It has also been discouraging to the
pickers. The army of pickers now in
the valley are not making grub. The
price paid for picking and packing is
IL cents box, and so far the pickers
have not averaged 10 cents day.
When the picking is good q smart and
experienced picker can pick and pack
100 boxes day. At the start, while
berries are scarce, 2 cents q box is
generally paid. The berries haye been
growing right along during the cool
weather, and the crop still promises to
be the best ever gathered in Hood
River. A few days of warm sunshine
would soon cause the output OF berries
to break all records.
Since writing the above, summer
has come. We have had two days of

accident near Garfield, says the Walla

er of that vicinity, said to be Charles
Espy, was going to town about 9
O'Clock with q load of lumber. The
road runs along by the railrosd track
for some distance, and then crosses it.
Just as the 9:l0 train from Spokane
was nearing this crossing, Espy whip
ped up his team, skittish one, in an
effort to get across before the train
came up. The engine driver saw
Espy's peril and put on the breaks at
once, but the engine struck the team
between the two horses killing them
instantly. Espy was thrown to the
ground apparently uuhurt, but as he
started to arise, the step OF coach
struck his head, knocking it off.
The body was taken up by the train
