THE MOUNTAIN GEN.

Tuesday the Mountain Gem un-
loaded freig hit from Portland for our
merchants te'ow the bridge. Ow-
ing to the short notice given our
merchants Of through shipment
from Portland not all who were in
tending to have consignments skip
ped by water were able to do so
dut even as it was King & Son, the
Kennewick Hardware Co Edward
Sheppard, druggist, H. A. Howe
and probably others received their
goods in good shape at saving Of
20 per cent on the railroad rates on
the same goods. As soon as a reg
ular schedule of sailings is announc-
ed by the Open River Association
for the Gem and the other boats
on the t.ger, Our merchants are u1-
animous in saying that they will
have the bulk of their goods ship
D d by the water route as soon as
the draw which will be completed
soon is opsned. The landings
will be made above the bridge
where the Commercial Club will
have their temporary landing put
in, the lumber for which has already
been purchased and is on the
ground. Cheap transportation for
goods to and from Kennewick now
seems to be assured.

The State Board Of Portage Com
missioners met Wednesday at Sa-
lem and had before it a report Of
L. S. Cook, superintendent and
general manager of tho Portage
Railway at Cello, for the month Of
March. The earnings Of the road
for the month amounted to $26o.S7
and the expense of operation and
maintenance was $851 80. The
report, among other things, says:
The river is now At os So, or
about E feet above low water, max
ing considerable of a raise. Boats
could go straight through to Lew
iston without any trouble. Cap.
tain Baughman stated he could
take a boat from Portland (if the
canal was completely, say with
500 tons, through to Lewiston and
could bring down 1000 tons. The
earnings on the upfreight would
pay the expenses of the trip, and
if they got but f. a ton on the
down freight the boat would clear a
nice amount.
Nothing further has been done
in regard to the gasoline launch
meeting the Portage train daily a,
Big Eddy, although I understand
The Dalles business men have pur.
chased the steamer Simmons and
are figuring on sending her to the
Big Eddy once a day about noon.
1t has been suggested that We
should have a gasoline engine &c
carry a small amount of freight
and passengers on account of the
cheapness Of operation. It GER
tainly would have many advan.
tageous points, and an engine tha,
would carry six or eight people
and a like number of tons of freigh,
could be made to make the rourd
trip with about 20 cents worth oi
gasoline. We will be able to ge,
all the hauling of fish along the
line, but what that will amount tc
is hard 10 tell. as the catch varies
each year. We could also pick ur
considerable more passenger busi-
ness than at present. We are op-
Grating the road but once or twice
a week.
I regret exceedingly that I an
unable to make a better showing
of the earnings this month, and
could have done some $50 better
had l had the freight that came in
on Sunday the first, the way bills
being dated March 80 aud 81, q

A Tragedy In Dent County.

salem-Telephone messages re
ceiyed here from the eastern part Of
Dent county report a tragedy in which
one man, James H. Berry, lost his life,
and another, Samuel Ogle, was severe
ly wounded. Berry, who had for many
years owned the farm and resided
where he was killed, about a year ago
sold part Of his farm to Ogle. Details
are confined to Mrs. Berry's statement.
She says that about 6 a. m. Berry went
into the garden to gather some pota-
toes for breakfast, and when he had
been gone only a few moments she
heard three shots from the direction
of the garden, but saw no one. When
she reached the garden she found Ber-
ry ~lifeless and no assailant in sight.
Ogle was later found to be ba lily
wounded.

HE SECURES A CONVICTION.
= TEEG

That night, as usual, he told his
troubles to his wife, but he got little
sympathy from her.
IF ye're an ~injane-yus ma-an," she
said, "ye'll land thin fellies with tn
goods on thin. IT is tn only wa-ay,
an ye're long enough on tn foorce FIR
to know it. Don't talk to me Nv tn

t is fr you to give it to him."
Policeman Flynn shook his head
with the doleful air of a mar who
thought the whole world was against
him; but he always shows best in ad-
versity. In his W language, he "wint
out afther thin la-ads," and he got
them. He marched them into the sta
ton house n night about two weeks
later, and two detected specimens
OF humanity never appeared there,
One of them was carrying a mantel
clock heavy enough seriously to tax
his strength, and the other was loaded
down with brass andirons. One of the
officers in the station made a motion
to take the booty away from chem,
but Policeman Flynn instantly inter-
fered.

DOUBTLESS that refers to another

slow, wintry smile. in the meantime
we will go back to our books and our
prayers and serve God and the king in

father, this is no longer a place for us.
Vanitas, vanitatum; omnia vanitas!
We will retire."
So, as solemnly as we had come, we
marched back through the first and
second and third doors, until we stood
again in the silence of the cardinals
chamber; he and I and the velvet
footed man in black. For a whiln
Richelieu seemed to forget me. He
stood ~brooding on the hearth, with his
eyes on the embers. Once I heard him
laugh; and twice he uttered in a tone
of bitter mockery, the words, Fools!
Fools! Fools!"
At last he looked up, saw me aud
started.
"Ah!" he said. T had forgotten
you. Well, you are fortunate, M. de-
Berault. Yesterday I had a hundred
clients. To-day I have only one and
l cannot afford to hang him. But for
your liberty-that Is another matter
I would have said something, but
he turned abruptly to the table anc
sitting down wrote a few lines on q
piece Of paper. Then he rang his bell,
while l stood waiting and COMPOUNDED.

lily, raising his hand to forbid inter.
ruption. 1.-THE matter is ended, M. de
Berault. Be thankful"
And in a moment I was outside the
door, my head in a whirl, my heart
divided between gratitude and resent
ment. Along several passages I fol
lowed my guide; everywhere finding
the same silence, the same monastic
stiffness. At length, when l had be.
gun to consider whether the bastile OF
the chatelet would be my fate, he
stopped at a door, gave me the let
ter, and, lifting the latch, signed me to
enter.
I went in in amazement and stopped
in confusion. Before me, alone, just
risen from a chair, with her face one
moment pale, the next red with
bushes, stood Mademoiselle de Coche'
foret. l cried out her name.
I'M. de Berault!" she said, visibly
trembling. "You did not expect tc

"Yet you might have thought that
we should not utterly desert you," she
replied, with a reproachful humility
which went to my heart. I'VE should
have been base indeed, if we had not
made some attempt to save you. l
