NAVIGATION NOTES.

F. 7. Smith, traffic manager of
the Open River Transportation Co.
of Portland, is in town looking up
river transportation matters. He
reports that work is now i'll pro-
gress on the Cello locks and will
continue until the present contract
is finished but that its completion
will be reached in the remote fut-
ure. However, movement is on
foot &c the state legislature of Ore
gon to pass an act granting free
portage over Cello Portage Ry.,
which would reduce the freight S.
per ton on first and second class
freight, so cents on third and fourth
class and IS cents. Oh wheat. Mr..
Smith shows that his company can
deliver freight from Portland to
Kennewick at a saving of $500,
S4.73, S3.75 and S3.25 per ton on
first, second, third and fourth classes
respectively in the transportation
charges. Special commodity rates
with a still greater reduction are
offered on groceries and heavy hard
ware.
In addition to the Mountain Gem
which is now running, the Column
bia will be repaired and a new 1863
foot boat costing $50, 900 will be
built at Cello to ply to up-river
points.
Their business below the Dalies
is now carried by the Regulator
Line but three new boats, the
Spencer, the Kellogg and the I'm
dine. will commence making this
run or be transferred from other
runs to this one The Spencer will
begin by the middle of March and
the others within six weeks. The
Portland Chamber of Commerce are
guaranteeing the expenses of the
Mountain Gem and are very anx-
ious that their wholesalers shall
reach the up-river markets. Oppo-
sltion on the part Of the railroad
lobby to further appropriation for
the completion Of the Cello canal is
active, and the amount of tonnage
carried will be decisive factor, so
that river transportation will be on
the boom in the succeeding few
months.

Boston. Jan 10-In reply to a telegram
from Attorney General Hadley asking
him to give any information in his pos
session regarding the relations between
the Standard Oil company of Indiana and
two other oil producing corporations
Thomas w Lawson of this city sent a
lengthy telegram to Mr. Hadley-
Mr. Lawson informs the attorney gen
eral that he personally knew nothing OF
the relations between the Standard Oil
company of Indiana and the Republic OIL
company and the Waters-Pierce company
and that while he was aware of certain
acts of the Standard Oil monopoly. he
could not fairly come within the wise re-
strictions of Mr. Hadley's telegram
while 7 have no personal knowledge
of fhe three things your telegram treats, "
continued Mr.. Lawson. I have sufficient
general knowledge of the subject matter
of your Investigation to make 1t appear
farcicaI to me that you with the power
of the great state of Missouri at your
back should want the testimony OF any
one other than the band of conspirators

Well known Topeka Man Sue
cumbs to Appendicitis.
Operation Performed Too Late
to Save Life.

Colonel Dan F. Wyatt died this
morning at $50 o'clock at Christ hos
pital of appendicitis and peritonitis.
He was 6 8 years of age. He was taken
sick on last Friday and on Saturday
night an operation was performed
which proved unsuccessful, due to
gangrenOus conditions which obtained.
A week ago today Colonel Wyatt
seemed to be in good health and at
tended an installation banquet of the
odd Fellows. 1t is supposed that he
ate something there which disagreed
with him. Though still able to be out
on Thursday he complained of not
feeling well. On Friday he was con-
fined to the house, and by the next day
a fatal case of appendicitis developed.
The funeral will probably be held on
Friday. The arrangements will be an
nounced later pending the arrival of
relatives from Ohio.
