BEACH & BOWERS MINSTRELS.
At Opera House-Date Changed to
November 7th.

Owing to a strike OF the 1itho-
graphers in the East, Beach &
Bowers have been compelled to
change dates, and consequently are
late in billing the show, however,
they are noted for giving an excel
lent performance and we are look
ing forward to night of real good
entertainment. Minstrelsy will
never die, but old minstrel ideas
have been dead for some time, in
fact ever since Beach & Bowers
launched new and up-to-the-min-
ute novelty in minstrelsy. Beach
& Bowers always gives US whole
some fun, and their appearance is
hen aided with pleasure. The mu-
sical part of the show is said to
be particularly fine. They will
give grand street parade and con-
cert Wednesday afternoon at 400

TO OPEN THE WILLAMETTE.
To Free Navigation-Lockage Charge
has Cost Willamette Farmers
Millions.

There is prospect for a move !
ment to emancipat- the Willamette
Valley from the lockage fee at the
Oregon CITY locks On every
pound offreight that passes through
the lccks tot OF fifty cents a ton
is charged. If the locks were ac-
quired by the federal overnment
and the lockage fee removed,
freight rates on the hoats would
drop fifty cents per ton. and that
would force a corresponding drop
in railroad rates. The situation is
set forth clearly in an editorial ar
ticle in the Portland Sunday Journ-
al, which in part is as follows:
cit would mean saving of I-2
cents per hundred on every pound
of freight to be transported in or
out. 1t would mean a cent and a half
added to the sale price of every
bushel of wheat. The lockage fee
means a toll of Ia cents on every
sack of potatoes, 1-2 cents on ev-
cry sack of sugar, IL on every
keg of nails, 1-2 cents on every
sack of salt, 4 cents on every bale
of hay, 10 cents on every head OF
sheep, and IS cents on every horse
and head of cattle.
The lockage fee is a collector that
stands constantly knocking at the
door of every farmhouse and every
town home with one hand extend
ed for tribute. 1t is source oi

Arrived at Dover. in England, we
found a special train waiting for US
on the dock. and within fifteen min
utes. we were off for London. at
mile a minute. It was a great joy to
be among white people speaking Eng
lish. after four months in the dark
countries.
For half an hour we ran through
London, on an elevated track at a mile
a minute, and, at Z p. m, stopped at
Victoria station exactly on time; seven
hours and five minutes from Paris. We
were soon through the custom house,
and hurrying toward the Hotel Cecil
where We expected our first mail in
four months. Arrived at the hotel, we
made a dash for the mail clerk. He
looked through the H box, and said he
had nothing for US. We had been
dreaming of a big bundle of mail for
weeks, at the Hotel Cecil, and felt the
disappointment keenly. We had di-
rected that our mail be sent to Miss
Carrie Welt, care of Hemet Land Co.
SO Gresham street. At Cairo, we had
written Miss Welte to send our mail
to the Hotel Cecil; but the mail clerk
had nothing for US. I am afraid the
president of the Don't Worry club
fused a good deal. but it didn't do him
any good-fussing never does@and
he was finally compelled to go to bed
without the mail he had expected.

Sunday, February 25.
We left Paris at noon, for London,
on the fastest train in Europe. The
distance from Paris to London is about
$50 miles, and we made 1t in seven
hours. including the delay in crossing
the English channel by boat. The
train ran from Paris to Calais, 210
miles, with one stop, and the time was
three hours and a half. The train was
vestbuled throughout, and modern; in
a French way.
The baggage was loaded in great
boxes, and placed on a fat car; when
we arrived at Calais, these boxes were
transferred to the steamer by means
of steam cranes to save time, and. the
passengers and baggage were trans
ferred to the channel steamer in a very
few minutes.
The channel between England and
France-known as the English chan
nel-is dreaded by all travellers, as it
is nearly always rough, and crossed by
small steamers. The distance between
Calais and Dover is twenty miles, and
modern turbine boats make 1t in fifty
minutes, unless the weather is very
bad. The Paris and London papers
regularly print predictions about the
channel trip for the day, and we were
promised a smooth passage in the
European edition of the New York
Herald we purchased on going into
breakfast.
