Federal Government and openRiver.

The latest development of the. gov
ernment's campaign to open thu Co
lumbia river is narrated as follows by
the Dalles Chronicle:
Information is given out that with
in the next thirty days further i'm
provements of the river channel be-
tween Cello and Umatilla will begin
on a mammoth scale.
Five large camps will be establish
ed along the river and operations
will be begun against the five worst
rapids in Columbia. Work is now
deferred because the water is not
quite low enough to permit it being
carried on to the best advantage.
Money will not be spared in the
opening of the channel. The govern
ment has appropriated 100000 for
the work and according to Col. Roess-
Ter, of Portland, who is engineer in
charge, it will take two years, to
spend this amount in legitimate work.
1t will be sufficient to carry the I'M
provements to the point that the rap
ids will be possible at all seasons of
the year.
There will be approximately 100
men employed by Roessler. The men
will live in house boats on the river.

JONES VS.. ANKENY.
Washington Senatorship Fight Warns
Up Already.


The Walla walla Bulletin says:
From all sections of the state come
a practically united endorsement from
the press of the candidacy of Wesley
L. Jones for United States senator.
The most important as well as the
most interesting incident in this con-
nection is the support of the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer and Seattle Times.
The enmity existing between these
two newspapers has attracted atten-
ton throughout the state for the past
several years, not only on account of
the prominence of these newspapers,
but because of the bitterness wkich
characterize their discussions.
The fact that both the P. I. and the
Times have endorsed Mr.. Jones is a
significant indication of the outcome
of the senatorial contest.

Small Tim fondled Master Nickel, polished
him on his knee and replaced him in his
greasy pocket. But, sad to say, the string
that held the hole shut had become un-
done, thus leaving a doorway for Master
Nickel to drop out through. And true to
the law Of gravitation, Master Nickel,
much against his will, fell rolling onto
the ground one evening as small Tim ran
down the street with some other boys.
There he lay in the dust, the setting
sun shining full on his brightest side.
Along came an old lady leading a little
girl The child spied the piece of money
and, stopping, picked it up. "oh, grand
ma" she exclaimed, ''see, I've found

Gum! Laws, child, how wicked! No,

The little girl, understanding that her
grandmother was a bit childish and at
times cross, decided to keep the coin
till another time when she should be
out alone or with some little girl friend;
so Master Nickel had the pleasure Of
her company for several days. Then one

Queens of England

Caroline wilhelmina Of Anspach, Hol-
land, was the queen consort Of George
H.. King of Great Britain and Ireland.
When she married George, however. he
was the young Prince Of Wales, succeed
ing to the English throne at the death of
his father, George l.
While a maiden In her teens Caroline
was sought in marriage by the Duke
Charles, son of Leopold l., but, owing TO
her strong adherence to the Protestant
faith and Charles Roman Catholic re-
ligion, she stoutly refused to become his
wife.
Both as Princess Of Wales and queen
consort Caroline's life was a most un-
happy one. She was detested by her
royal father-in-law, who also hated most
heartily his son and heir, the Prince Of
Wales. And the son returned the
fathers hatred.
A blographer says of Caroline: "She
was distinguished by an earnest integ-
rity of purpose above and beyond the
standard of her day" She also possessed
great tact and wonderful patience. Re-
gardless of her royal spouse's neglect and
unfaithfulness, she always showed him
the greatest respect and obedience to his
wishes Indeed, so tactful was she at
times that it may be truthfully said she
was ''the power behind the throne" and,
although the wilful and despotic George
