they insist that freights will find ship
ping at Portland Vancouver or AS
toria, instead of going to Puget Sound.
The Sound people admit that the bulk
of freight will go by the river-level
roads or by steamer down the Column
bia rather than over the Cascade
mountains, but they also claim that
shipping facilities are so much better
on the Sound that even freight on the
ships. However this may be there is
no question that the north bank road
will profoundly affect transportation
conditions and will mark an epoch in
our history. 1t is evident too, that,
aside from the question of state pride,
the interests of Walla Walla belong
rather with the Columbia river than
with Puget sound.
This fact may at least serve to lead
our brethren of the Sound to be a
little more modest in their frequent
assumption that they are the state of
Washington
l returned from Portland to The
Dalles by the steamers Bailey Gatzert
and Dalles City, belonging to the
Portland and Dalles Transportation
Co., or Regulator line This is a
splendid line, worthy of all support
and consideration from the people of
the Inland Empire. The officers are
reliable and courteous in the highest
degree, the boats are beautiful and
we'll equipped, the rates are very rea-
sOnable, and the route is the grandest
river route on earth. The Rhine and
Hudson arein significant compared with
the majestic mountain walled Column
bia.
Even in winter the journey is a Sc
ries of delights. The amount of traf-
fic and passengers carried even at this
season of the year is surprising. There
were over a hundred passengers and
nearly a hundred tons of freight on
the Gatzert the day of our trip.
We obsered a large amount of rail-
road grading in progress on the north
side of the river. Among other work
there is tunnel in progress through
that magnificent monument of the
volcanic age, Cape Horn.
Every passenger to Portland should,
if possible, go one way or the other
by the Bailey Gatzert or some one of
her companion boats. Thus only can
one gain full comprehension of the
grandeur, the resources and the pos
sibilities of this great though unde-
velOped land in which we are so for

THE COIORED COLLEGE.

ATLANTA, Ga. Oct. 1S.--A spo-
cial from Greenville. S. c., says:
As result of race troubles Sene-
ca, s. c., Is In ashes. The work Is
claimed to be that OF incendiary me-
groes. seeking revenge for the dyna-
hitting OF the negro college here last
Friday night.
The fire burned rapidly, consuming
the entire business section OF the
town, which has a population OF about
1000. No fire lighting apparatus
was available, and citizens were pow
erless To stop the flames. AS last
hope dynamite was resorted to.
The superintendent OF the Seneca
Cotton Mills. who was an eye witness.
brought the first news TO Greenville.
He says II Is matter OF common be-
lief that the town was fired by ne
groos. Among the buildings burned
arc two hotels and n hardware store.
The fire was under control In about
three hours. Eveything Is quiet this
afternoon, although some feeling is
still shown by the negroes. No arrests
have been made. The loss Is estimat-
cd at st50,000, with insurance of
$4,000.

The jury brought I'm the verdict OF

showing little signs OF nervousness.
The jury then filed into the box, and,
when asked il they had agreed on a
verdict, promptly replied:
1--WE find n verdict OF not guilty"
Instantly the court room was In an
uproar, men and women cheering
and aDplauding In spite OF the rap

had difficulty In the suppression OF
the noise. Finally, when quiet was
restored, DR.. Brouwear was formal
ly discharged. He was so overcome
he could hardly speak.
Brouwer's friends crowded about
him and offered congratulations.
Brouwer then shook hands with his

partiallty OF his charge to the jury.
