Nanaimo.may be called out This would
paralyze the coal trade of San Francisco.
The situation was viewed with the
greatest apprehension and coal retail ers
are hurrying scows to Nanaimo to insure
a good reserve supply in case OF trouble.
A special dispatch from Fernie says
the strike situation is not changed and
there is likely to be a long struggle.
The miners are determined that the
union shall be recognized and the
manager of the coal company is absolute
Iv opposed to meeting them. A deputa-
ticn consisting of three miners from
Morrissev, Michel and Coal Creek tried
to present their grievances before
Manager Tonkin, but he refused to
listen. He will meet them individus lily

says the miners are making better

Portage ROAD at DRLLEs
State Will Appropriate $4,000
for the Project.
VERY LITTLE OPPOSITION
Conceded to BE On. of the Most Inn
POrtant Bills Before the
Legislature.

Salem, Or, Feb. 11.-Only four votes
were recorded against the portage rail-
road bill when it passed the Senate this
morning. No Senator bad aught to say
against it, but representatives of every
section of the state gave it their support.
1t passed the Senate under suspension
of the rules, moved by Senator Fulton,
of Clatsop County. The bill passed the
Senate upon its merits as measure of
vast import to the industrial and con-
mercial interests of all the Columbia
River region.
AS soon as the Senate convened this
morning Senator Fulton asked unani-
nous consent to call up II. B. 215,
which is known as the portage railroad
bill. There was no objection and the
bill was read the secoEd and third
times.
"In my opinion, Mr.. President" said
Senator Fulton, 'this is the ost i'm
portant measure that has been before
this Legislature. 1t does not carry 80
large an appropriation as one other bill
that we have passed, but undertake to
say that, as measured by the beneficial
results that will be realized by the
commercial interests of the state, this
will prove more meritorious appropria
ton than any other we have made o,
of the vast grain fields of Eastern
Oregon to the markets of the world
The construction of portage road a.
contemplated by this bill will effect a
reduction in freight rates, which are
now almost prohbitive. For this rea-
son it is of the greatest importance in
aiding the development of that rapidly
growing section of the state If !
thoughs this bill would meet any op
position, | would speak further upon
the beneficial results that swil follow
the passage of this bill; but | believe
that the Senators so fully appreciate ITS
importance that it will be passed by al
almost unanimous vote.'
81 would feel that Ilhad failed IN my
duty to my constituents if did not give
my voice and my vote to the support of
this measure" said Senatorl Pierce.
'The construction of this rosd Will be
of benefit not only of Eastern Oregon,
but to all the Columbia River country"
Senator Kuykendall said that he ex-
pected to support the bill. although he
realized that the size of the appropria-
tions of this Legislature will be very
great. 81 know that this Legislature
will receive many kicks.on account of
its appropriations, but believe that it
is due to the people and Ebusiness in
terests of Eastern Oregon that this bill
shall pass, and that thief portage road
shall be built. We are supporting this
bill upon the understanding. that the
people of Eastern Oregon wills.consent
to repeal of the scalp bounty law.
The construction of the. portage road
will cost no more than the scalp bounty
law, and the results. will be vastly
greater"
No one spoke against the. bill, and
only four votes against ..it-Senators 8

Fishing Season at its Zenith.

over half-amillion herring had reached

many more by shutdown. Herring SEEM

swarms of mayhies, and the river creeks
and runs are now said to be alive with
them. They are forging their way into
narrow runs and placing themaelves in

which arrived up from Norfolk this
morning reports that most of the trap

of herring in the Potomac and its tribu-

at 81. 80 a SO per thousand. 1t is doubt
Jul whether these prices will be main

of fish have also suffered disaster. Roe

I.innnr.Selling on Sunday.

Two saloonkeepers were before the
Mayor this morning charged with SELL
ing liquor on Sunday. One had been
arrested by Officer Roberts and the
other by Officer Allen. A man named
Asburv VermiliOn came here yesterday
from Washington and, according to his
evidence. proceeded to saloon in the
southwestern portion of the city where
he purchased whisky. He remained in the
neighborhood until after dark when he
entered another place, which he said was
located square from the saloon he en-
tered at first, and procured more liquor.
Later he went to an alley in the rear of
the first place and while there he alleged
q colored man grabbed his watch and
ran. This morning Officer Ferguson ac-
companied him to the neighbOrhood he
said he visited yesterday when Vermilion
fully identified the first saloon he had
entered. but was not so positive as to
the other, except that he knew it was
square away from the first. The pro-
nr;etors Of both were taken into custody
and made to leave collateral for their
appearance. The keeper of the saloon
located by Vermilion was fined $50, but
as the witness was uncertain as to the
other place, the charge against the pre-
prietor was dismissed.
The Mayor disposed Of several other
cases this morning. They consisted of
misdemeanors of no interest or import

Sunday School Celebrations.

The children of the Sunday school:
of several of the churches held their
Easter celebrations yesterday and were
made happy by the awarding of prizes
and premiums, and glad carols, telling
of the glory of the resurrection, were
chanted by sweet childish voices.
The Sunday school of Grace Church
held their celebration in the morning
and large attendance was present. An
interesting programme was carried out,
consisting of the singing of carols and
hymns and an address by the rector OF
the church, Rev. G. Z. Ball.
At st. Paul's in the evening there
was beautiful display of flowers, large
floral cross and cross and crown being
the features. The cross and crown, the
former in white and the latter of scarlet
flowers. was memorial to the late Miss
Cecilia Green, and was sent by the
Chapter of Praise and the teachers of the
Sunday school. The singing OF the
children was inspiring and an address
was made by Rev. z. p. Phillips. The
Lenten offerings amounted to Sl72 and
that for the year, 1882, making
1924. A number of prizes were awarded.
Christ Church Sunday school held
their celebration at 4:9O o'clock in the
evening. The chancel was prettily
adorned with flowers and the services
consisted of the singing of carols, an adj
dress by Mr.. Hill, of the Theological
Seminary, and the distribution of flowers
to the children. The Lenten offering
amounted to $50 and the offerings for
the year 1886.
The Epworth League of the NJ. P.
Church held special Easter services last
night which were very interesting and
we're largely attended.
In Emmanuel Lutheran Church the
children received, as is the custom, their
first communion.
