His Story Went Wrong.

A New England minister once told
the following story just before the
collection was taken up:
Il have heard of a man, prosperous
and we'll to do, who went to church
one Sunday and put a cent-just a
plain copper cent-in the collection
box. On the way home he was over
taken by a sudden heavy shower,
and, having no umbrella, crawled into
a hollow log to keep himself dry until
the downpour was over. Soon the log
began to swell and the wetter it got
the more it swelled, until the sides
finally closed in on the prosperous
citizen and held him in a grip like a
wise. The rain ceased, but the un-
fortunate man was unable to move
hand or foot. He shouted for help,
but no one heard him. He was about
to give up in despair, when suddenly
he thought of the cent he had dropped
into the collection box that day, and
it made him feel so mean and small
that he crawled right out of the log
without any further trouble. Now, if
you expect to get caught in a shower
and be obliged to take refuge in
hollow log on the way home, by all
means put cent in the contribution

MEANS OPEN RIVER
To PACIFIC
UNCLE SAM TO RUSH WORK ON
CELLO LOCKS IN THE COLUM-
BIA RIVER-WILL ALSO WORK
ABOVE KENNEWICK.

Washington. April 30.-That the
Columbia river will soon be opened
to navigation for hundreds of miles
was assured today when the chief of
engineers promised Senator Bourne
of Oregon that he will recommend
that the Cello, Ore, project be
rushed through at the earliest pos
sible date and that $2,6OO,00O be set
aside for completion of the work I'M
der the continuing contract. He says
the original estimate OF 100000
holds good, so that s2,600,000 will
be sufficient to finish the work.

Means Open River to the Sea.

The completion of the ship canal
around the impossible falls at Cello
means much to the Inland Empire,
for, with this project opened for traf-
fc, the long-desired open river from
eastern Washington river towns and
from Lewiston to the sea" will be-
come an accomplished fact. It's ef-
feet on freight traffic has been made
more than ever apparent by the es-
tablishment of open river boat service
from Lewiston to Cello and from
there to Portland.
For several years there was much
debate whether the government
should build portage railroad
around this river obstacle or dig a
canal, and even after the canal and
lock system was decided upon there
was opposition. Less than year ago
the prediction was made that the
canal would cost s1O,OO0,00O and
would not be completed for at least
10 years, while the portage road
could be completed within a year.
A temporary portage road has now
been built around the falls, steam
boats from above unloading above
the falls, the cargo being taken by
boats below and on to Portland.
When the Cello project is completed
steamboats, from a vast stretch in
the interior will go through these
lpcks and the system at The Dalles

Frost to Yakima Peaches.

A local rhymster of this city has
taken a shot at our big sister, Yaki-
ma, in the following lines:
Said little peach to an apple bough,
Il fear me much there'll be a row,
For Yakima's feeling very sore
Even unto her apple core.
If we should have a crop this year
l fear me she'd be on her ear,
She but last year with the early frost
And all of her peachy crop is lost"
So the apple replied, 81 think it best
That Wenatchee peaches to take a
rest,
A little pruning will do you good,
Twill make you grow to lose some
wood,
And Yakima valley couldn't simmer
Should they find the crop in Wenat-
chez thinner.
So that is why our peaches said,
For Yakimas sake we'll play we're
dead,
For the apple show in Spokane last
fall
Was the biggest frost on that valley
of all.
If we don't have peaches nobody
cares,
make up in apples and
pears

COUNCILMEN CLASH
ON ORDINANCE CHANGE.
Lively Tilt Between II. O. Os-
borne and Ernest BOerger.

The motion to pas sthe ordinance for
h grading of Orange avenue IN it's
first reading at the Town Council meet
ing last night brought about a lively
tilt between Councilmen Henry o. Os-
borne m Ernest Boerger. The petition
and the ordinance originally called for
h grading of this thoroughfare from
Springfield emu to the town limit,
but the ordinance taken up last night
designated that the grading should
cover only 1000 feet.
Councilman Osborne emphatically
protested against this change, declaring
that 1t was in direct opposition to the
wishes of the petitioners.
Councilman Boerger argued that,
rather thar delay this matter any
longer. as it had already been hanging
fire about four years, it would be well
to pass the ordinance as 1t read; other
wise it would necessitate another
petition and ordinance and a conse-
quent delay. Osborne, however, was
obdurate, and trusted that his col
leagues would not acquiesce in it. After
further discussion the motion was lost,
Mayor Glorieux. Councilman Osborne,
States, Greene and Lacombe voting nay
and Councilman Boerger alone voting
aye.
