Willamette River Improvement.

Major McIndoe, Colonel Bid
die and Mr.. Hadley, of the Board
of United States Engineers, who
have been here in connection
with the Willamette river i'm
provement plan, left Monday for
Albany to investigate the pro-
posed change in the channel at
that place, a change which the
people there are not at all pleased
with, as it's enforcement would
divert the river from that city
and cut it off from water COM
munication. Senator Bourne
has interested himself in the
matter and also in the purchase
of the locks by the national gov
ernment, SO as to secure an open
waterway at all times.

two golden chariots in black velvet,
and drawn by eight hooded horses,

Seven hours elapsed from the time

three salutes of twenty-one guns and
three volleys of musketry reverbrat-

that the last rites were over.
Not a single untoward incident
marked the last act of Portugaps

proved but myths and there Is a
feeling of relief in all parts.

along the line of the procession was
