It yoa want the beet, consult Howard & Lundell, Heppner, Oregon Washington, April 23. The Army Engineers are friends of Oregon, par ticularly the boards that have been designated from time to time, in late years, to consider river and harbor im proyements for that state, This may be partly because the late Chief of En gineers, General Wilson, aud the present Chief, General Gillespie, are interested n the Columbia Kiver and its tribu taries; but nevertheleas the fact remains that the state has the good-wi!! of this eminent corps of experts, and will reap the benefit of its best labors. One evi dence of this was the report prepared aod submitted on the improvement of the mouth of the Columbia River. An other evidence of good-will is shown in the manner in which the Dalles-Celilo Board has spared no pains to devise a scheme for opening the upper river in a practical and substantial way. This board has intended making a re port within a few weeks, based on in formation it gathered last Summer, and subsequent data submitted by Major Langfitt. It found, howp-er, that in this way it would not do justice to the work, whose merits it recognizes, so it decided to bold a second meeting in Oregon and to go over all data in detail, and again visit the scene of the proposed mprovement, in order to agree upon a plan that will meet with general ap proval, and yet come within reasonable cost. If the board were at liberty to de vise apian for opening the river, regard less of cost, aDy number of practical plans could be outlined, any one of which wou'd be substantial, practical and permanent. Rut by the act of the last Congress the Engineers take it that the? are limited as to the cost of the work ; hence the close figuring, and the revision and altering of plans. The board, ever' niember of it, recog nizes the necessity for providing an open river so as to give the farmers of the great Inland Empire an all-water route to the sea. The members are likewise agreed that a portage road is not the kind of Government work that should be undertaken. While such a road is good enough as a temporary expedient, it is not what is demanded by the pros pective commerce; hence the anxiety of the board to devise a plan that will afford an unobstructed water channel from the head of navigation in the Columbia to the sea. One of the oldest schemes suggested for opening the river lias been the construction of a continuous channel from the head of Celilo Rapids to the Big Eddy, but because of the fact that ucti a canal would have to be blasted out of Bolid rock the cost would be ap palling. Recent investigations hare shown that south of the river bank are several natural channels through the rocks which might be utilize! as a part of a canal ejetem, and with this aid it might be possible, by blasting medium sized canal at first, to enlarge it later. as the demands of commerce increased. One thing is assured: At its coming meeting the board will give full con sideration to every scheme hereafter proposed that bears any resemblance to feasibility, and whatever plan can be To Graze as Last Year. Probably not this year will the final limits ot the now certain Blue Mountain forest reserve be known to the aoxious and waiting Grant county citizens. A report sufficiently specific to cover the exact physical feature of each township can not be made to the department yet, because no detailed examination adequate for this purpose has been made by government agents of this land. This Decessarv examination and survey will be made this summer, when the exact courses character of all the streams, the line of the Blue and Straw berry mountain watersheds, the amount of timber and kirjd, almost in e ch sec tion, the location of the mines and settlers' claims will be acourately map ped out and the details tabulated at the department. After study of this and hearing the claims argued by various districts affected, Secretary Hitchcock will finally fix the boundaries. Meanwhile, as far as grazing is con cerned, Grant county will experience no change this season from last. Out side sheep and home sheep will be per mitted to graze indiscriminately on the proposed reserve just the same as last year. What will be done with the grazing problem after the limits are de termined is not yet known, and until settled the Grant settler has a burden of anxiety.

Fossil, Or., April 25 The Spring term of Circuit Court for Wheeler Coun ty adjourned yesterday, after a five days' session. As Judge Bradshaw and District Attorney Menefee had been ex posed to smallpox by coming in contact with Orion Kinersly, when he was making his escape from Shaniko, their places at this session were filled by Judge W. R. Ellis, of Pendleton, and Fred Wilson of The Dal es. The case of John P. Glick was con tinued for the term, to give him time to prepare a competent defence. Glick killed James I. Jones on the 8th inst., and has been indicted for murder in the first degree. Al Morley, of Oregon City, and Bert DeFord, of Morrow county, were found guilty ot larceny from Minor & Gilliam's store at Spray and were sentenced by Judge Ellis to two years each in the penitentiary. Sheriff Keeton started for Salem with Morley and DeFord to day. The lumbermen of Portland have declared their determination to deliver no more lumber to local contractors until the labor difficul ties are settled for good.
