BIMETALLISM
While fully aware that at this time

great bimetallic issue, involving the

ume of standard money, enhancing
the commercial value of the product
of our silver mines, and restoring
the broken par of exchange between

"The Man of the Hour"

George Eroadhursts political drama
The Man o. the Hour which William
A. Brady and Joseph r. Grismer will
offer to the Keylor Grand theater- goers
Monday. Jan. 90, it is said, is so thor
oughly vigorous, sturdy and pat upon
the crying political and social needs OF
the day and so fearlessly written. The
play deals of love and Of politics, with,
it is said, politics predominating. It
has TO do with man placed in office
who is fighting to DO what he sees to
be his duty even when his course
means the loss of all he prizes most in
life-even the loss of the woman ne
loves.
The story in brief concerns a young
mar. who is elected mayor of a city by
la political boss and traction axploiter.
When he is put in the men who nom
mated him think they can use him in
furthering big street car franchise,
which is palpably a big steal. The
youngsman. however. will not sign the
bill granting the franchise and all sorts
of influences are brought to bear upon
him. He is threatened with the loss of
the girl he loves. with beggaring the
young woman and her brother. ard

foot stage. There were 2S5 cubic
yards of rock in this particular OBJ
struction.
Another rock was removed which
was located directly in the channel
and which was two hundred feet be-
| low Roll lock. Great difficulty was
experienced in drilling this rock as
the water was very swift and 20-foot
spuds used to hold the boat steady
while drilling would not reach bottom,
there being % feet of water at this
| place. This rock was but five feet
across it's top and seven feet long ap-
parently being a narrow shoot from
two feet of water covering this rock
before blasting, after blasting there
being ten feet of water.
AT the head of Texas rapids, gov
eminent scow No. is widening the
channel AT this point the channel is
quite narrow and before blasting tle
reefs it was necessary for steamers to
come into the rapids on a curve. This
scow has blasted nearly a thousand
yards of reef and after this is raked
off at high water this channel will be
widened with five or six feet of water
over the reef.
ION leaving the middle of Texas
rapids the Wallowa sounded the river
every 90 feet to the head of Palouse
rapids, to which point scow No. 8 will
be removed later.
AT Hunters rapids the Wallowa
crew discovered a dangerous rock di-
rectly in the channel at the foot of the
rapids. This rock is known among
ST aamboat men as a sleeper and there
are several along the channel between
Riparia and the mouth of the Snake
river. A sleeper is a rock which Is
usually fiat or smooth on the top and

remembered that the captain went
out to these men IN small boat,
risking his life to save the men. The
two men had attempted to float a
scow through Texas rapids and the
scow struck Roll Rock, sinking the
craft which was loaded with machin-
cry. The navigators barely had time
to secure the safety of the rock, so
swift and dangerous are the waters
there. Captain Baughman dashed out
in small boat and secured them.
