Over $25OO Subscribed for the use
of the organization.
The Keunewick Board of Trade
met last nigh with IS members
present which was increased to so
early in the session. The commit
tee on constitution aud bylaws
made brief report.
The committee on Ways and
Means reported the result of their
canvass for funds. $3.50 had been
subscribed as result of a partial
canvass and the committee stated
they felt confident of reaching
$4,000. The preliminary report Of
those who were to see about the
location of boat landing and ap'
proaches thereto were made by
Mayor Sheppard and Thomas
Mccain. The items in their report
were fully discussed.
Mr.. G. H. Mo,tinger was pres
ent and at the invitation of the
chairman addressed the meeting.
He stated that he had lived on the
Columbia river for IL years and
watched anxiously every move
made in the line of river naviga-
ton. He described the steamer
Mountain Gem and gave the de-
tails ofthe accident that disabled
her. Up to that time she had been
bringing freight to Wallula and II
far up as Hover. when there wa.
any for that point, at Z freight rate
one third less than the railroad rate
from Portland. The Gem has car
ried enough provisions to the var.
ious construction camps to keer
them going for a short time. It is
designed to put her on the ways al
Cello and fully repair her, therefore
there will be no large boat running
on the river for the next 80 days.
With reference to clearing the
channel at the Homie rapids, he
had gone through them when the
examination was made by the gov.
ernment engineers and knew. that
Chief Engineer Boardman had rec.
commended their removal at govern
meut expense. He believed they
would be removed before the next
seasons low water. He had again

For Fairness in Selection of School

Let us as patrons throw aside all

reached by all. Do not vote to
place it too close to a railroad that

shifting the Responsibility.

Sir John Macdonald, when premier
OF Canada, one evening was present
at a public dinner at which he was
expected to deliver rather impor-
tant speech. In the conviviality Of the
occasion he forgot the more serious
duty of the evening, and when at
late hour he rose his speech was by no
means SO luminous as it might have
been. The reporter, knowing that it
would not do to print his notes as they
stood, called on Sir John next day and
told him that he was not quite sure of
having secured an accurate report.
He was invited to read over his notes,
but he had not got far when Sir John
interrupted him with THAT is not
what | saic" There was pause, and
Sir John continued, Let me repeat
my remarks" He then walked up and
down the room and delivered a most
impressive speech in the hearing Of the
amused reporter, who took down every
word as it fell from his lips. Having
thanked Sir John for his courtesy, he
was taking his leave when he was re-
called to receive this admonition:

Whatever caused Harry Lee, bache-

afternoon he never has been able to
explain except by laying it to fate. He
wasn't going anywhere, didn't want to
see anybody in particular, and he al

account of fearful old women and cry

scarcely caught sight of one fearful old
woman when somebody caught sight
of him.
And who on earth told you that 1
was going to Buffalo, exclaimed a
voice at his elbow as he turned to go
out
1t was Miss Remington, whom lie had
known fairly well for a year past and
who had sometimes struck him as be-

ing manners. Just now she was look
