Until the headquarters building at
Tenth and Taylor streets is completed
the offices of the grand clerk will be
at $40 Morrison street, where the
lower floor of the new Calef block
has been rented. Mr.. Wright arrived
Saturday. and has been busy trying
to get track of the numerous official
records which are distributed on eX-
press trains all the way from Lead
vile, Colorado, to Portland. Some of
the files and books arrived yesterday
and other shipments are coming by
every train, but it will be several days
before the records are all received and
the work can be started here.
Mr.. Wright brought with him the
following assistant clerks: Alma
Bringman, Hanah Carroll Agnes

Blanche Reed, Lucy Rollins and Kate

clerk is the most important of that OF
any of the head officers and requires
more clerical labor. There are in the
district $4,000 members, who are
brought into direct touch each month
with the grand clerks office. and a
monthly expense account of $4,000
will hardly cover the needs of the Of

Under the local option law nearly
three-fourths of the counties in the
tate have declared for prohibition.
This includes nearly all of the ruri
districts. Most of the cities have de-
clared for high license, and charge
from $3.50 to $1,000 for the privilege
of selling spirits. One-half of the
time of the courts is taken up in
Furnishing violators of the liquor law.
In the cities like Fort Worth and
Dallas, 1t Is impossible to get a drink
of liquor on Sunday. Gambling has
been suppressed almost entirely
throughout the state.
There is, however, large jug
trade" as 1t is called, carried on be-
tween the license cities and the pro-
hibition counties. The courts have de-
cided that a man may buy all the
liquor he likes at a place where licen-
ses are granted for consumption in
places where prohibition is enforced.
Several liquor houses I'm Dallas.
Fort Worth, Houston and other cities
do jug trade" almost exclusively,
and have large numbers of clerks en-
gagged in putting up TASKS and bottles
to ship by express to customers in the
country towns. One dealer has 40
men who do nothing but put up ex-
press packages of liquor and if you
look into the express car on any train
you will see wagonloads of them.

OLD AND NEW CELLO.
What il Is, Was and VIII BE in the
Development of Large Region of
Fruitful Country.

As soon as the wheat crop in the
northwest is harvested the little town
of Cello will be busy point, says
The Dalles Chronicle. Steamboats,
from the upper Columbia and from
Snake river will be unloading wheat
daily, and this will require quite a
number of men to handle.
1t may be that the railroad in or
der to control the trade, will come
down to the cut rate; but there are
points on the Columbia in Washing
ton, and the Snake in Idaho, that are
not reached by any railroad compa-
ny, and these must depend upon
water transportation.
The portage road is simply a pre-
lude to an open river to tidewater for
country comprising 100000 square
miles When the government canal
and locks are completed, without
breaking cargoes, steamers will
transport the wealth of this region
to the ocean.
Then the true and permanent de-
velopment of the northwest will begin
and the possibilities of the Inland EN-
pire will be thoroughly tested. But
Cello will remain as the eastern ter
minus of the canal as it is of the
state portage road, and around it win
cluster memories of the past and
dreams of the future.
The old town was about a mile
above the present hamlet, and here in
the early history of eastern oregon
clustered a thrifty, active population,
possessing all the evidence of busy
mart of trade. The wharf boat was
900 feet long, and in it was stored
goods for the interior country, as far
east as Blackfoot, in Montana.
Boats navigated the Columbia as
far as Priest Rapids, and then far
above there were steamers after the
portage around these rapids was
made; and Snake river was made a
highway of commerce to Lewiston,
Idaho. This caused considerable bus
mess to center at Cello.
Here were built the Annie Faxon,
Spokane, Nez Perce Chief, Harvest
Queen and other boats that made
regular trips with passengers and
freight to interior points.
The construction of the railroad In
1881 and 1882 changed the means of
transportation, and Cello became
merely a tradition. 1t was moved
down the Columbia at the very be-
ginning Of the rapids, and was known
for many years only for its fish wheels
and cold storage plant.
History is repeating itself, and Ce-
lilo is again coming to the front as
the point from which the freight
problem will be solved, and the point
from which will start water transport
tation lines to points in Washington
and Idaho.
