Someone who understands Jhe hotel
business and has the capital to start one
can find the best location in the state by
.visiting Hood River. All the place needs
to make it one of the finest summer re
sorts in the northwest, is a good hotel,
. and it would be filled to its utmost ca
' paciry all summer.
.' Something should be done by our citi
sens towards getting a survey for a rail
road to the. Fossil coal fields and . our
Board of Trade should take hold of the
matter at its next meeting. The coal is
pronounced by experts the best on the
coast. . .
The question some of the visitors at
the locks Sunday have been trying to
solve since their return is, with 190 men
employed, how can $40,000 be expended
each month? With less than 90 actually
employed the question becomes yet more
difficult.
Mr. Minto's bill to create the office of
state railroad " commissioner is , very
lengthy. It has some good features one
of which is that it makes the office an
. elective one. It also gives the commls
sion considerable power, and would no j
doubt, be a vast improvement on the
present powerless board. j
The inside of the court house has been

The Signal Service and the
the Weather.
: The signal service was established by
the government in 1870 for the benefit of
commerce and agriculture, are placed on
der the supervision of the war depart
ment, and in charge of the late illustrious
officer.Brigadier-General Albert J.Meyer,
its creator, as the chief signal officer,
with headquarters at Washington, D. C.
At the death of General Meyer, General
William B. Hazan was appointed chief
signal officer and remained in charge
until Lieut. A. W. Greeley relieved him.
Since then the service has made great
changes in its extensiveness, and im
portance as an educator of meteorologi
cal phenomenon. Its study has devel
oped its usefulness and benefits, not
only to agriculture but to commerce.
The past year has shown to the seafaring
that its observance has not only saved
priceless lives but a large number of ves
sels. At the mouth of the Columbia river
and at Puget sound, vessels were safely
moored for weeks through the forecasts
of terrible storms that were approaching
our shores the past year.
The signal officer - at San Fran
cisco, which is the real head for this
coast, is in telegraphic communication
with every signal office on the Pacific
slope, and at 5 p. m. every day receives
a report of the day's readings of the
barometer, thermometer, relative hu
midity, direction and velocity of the
wind, from Spokane, Walla Walla, Boise

and Port Angeles, Olympia, Fort Canby,

From these readings the center of calms.
storms, rain, snow, cyclone or what
ever the changes are to be expected are
arrived at, and the forecasts are sent
out to each regular station at 8 o'clock
p. m. of each day, except in some in

morning forecasts, which are for the ben
efit of the farming districts only. The

Forcasta of Resolutions by the Farmers,
To the Honorable the Oregon Delegation in
the Congress of the United States,
We whose names are appended hereto,
chairman and secretary of a meeting of
the farmers of Eastern Oregon, and
representing The Eastern Oregon Co
operative association of the Patrons, of
Husbandry (limited) in the name and
behaif of said farmers of Eastern Oregon
would most respectfully memorialize
you, our representatives at the national
capital as follows :
First. The experience of the present
season has amply demonstrated by im
mense piles of grain (the farmers coin)
at every station alone the single line of
railway that traverses this section,
awaiting shipment and virtually locking
up millions of dollars as weli as for an
indefinite time depriving the farmer of
bis hard earned scanty gains, that some
measure of immediate relief must be le
vised or the science of agriculture will be
come in the basin of the Columbia, one
of the lost arts.
Second. We believe that as a tem
porary measure oi relief by far the best
and cheapest solution of the problem is
a portage railway around the obstruc
tions to navigation in the Columbia
between Dalles City and Celilo known as
The Dalles of the Columbia. A bill for
a similar railway around the Cascades to
afford temporary relief at that point
appropriating $00,000 of state funds has
already passed the state senate and ere
this memorial reaches you, will undoubt
edly bv the votes of the members of the
lower house and the signature of the
governor of this commonwealth, have
become a law.
Third. As a permanent and final
measure, we unhesitatingly recommend
a canal with locks at the point abov
mentioned, (The Dalles of the Columbia)
firmly believing that no other method
is as cheap or as beneficial in the end.
We have briefly set forth above, the
urgent needs of at least a third of the
inhabitants of the great state which has
honored you by entrusting its interests
to your care. It is no common memorial
idly asking for some fancied tov, which
greets you, but rather the urgent in
sistent appeal of men who have
been j-our friends when needed
and who now in turn appeal to yon for
the absolutely necessary aid which com
mon justice and sound public policy
dictate.
We have asked for bread, will vou
kindly see that we do not receive
stone? M. W. Freeman,
Wm. Holdek, Chairman.

' More Important Than Expositions.
We believe Oregon should give more
toward building a portage railway at the
cascades and dalles of the Columbia
than in making an exhibit of her pro
duce in Chicago. Pass the portage rail
road bill first, ye members from Eastern
Oregon. . The people of .hastern Oregon
must secure an open river to the sea,
and thereby secure low freight rates, if
they desire to have the country nil up
with people whose watchword is "prog
ress." Eastern Oregon will always be of
small importance if she allows corpora
tions to suck blood from her veins for
the benefit of non-resident bond-holders
and bloated millionaires. . An open river
to the sea would do much to remove the
shackles that keen the country and her
people in a lethargic condition. Fossil

Every old resident of the Inland Em
pire thoroutrhlv understands and appre
ciates .the necessity for an open and free
Columbia river, before the people can
attain the standard of prosperity that is
possible under favorable circumstances.
The Water Ways convention, called to
meet at Walla Walla on February 5,
should be attended by representatives
from every section. , Every farmers' alli
ance, every business community, every
voting precinct in the Inland Empire,
should send some one, who will assist in
the deliberations of that convention.
The opening of the Columbia river can
and will be accomplished within three
years, provided the entire population
who for years have been waiting for this
to be done, shall meet and demand the
doing. Let the convention be attended by
the representatives of every community
in the Inland sections of Washington,
Oregon and Idaho; let them petition
their legislature, now in session, to
memorialize congress, and the Union's
word for it, their task is accomplished.

The Farmers Heard From.
The Dai.lkh, Oregon., Jan. 17. 1891.
Whereas The Dalles is the shipping
and distributing point on the Columbia
river for over 150,000 tons of freight an
nually, at the estimated cost for the 88
miles between said city and Portland of
over $900,000.
Whereas, in addition to such char
ges on the products of the farm and
range, bv the company having the
monopoly of the Columbia river pass, as
threaten in the near future to destroy
the agricultural interests of Eastern Or
egon and Washington, the said company
has, during the past session, proved its,
utter in capacity to move in proper sea
son, the increasing products of said sec
tion, to the great loss of the producting
classes. ,
AVhebeas, the obstructions of the
Cascades of the Columbia, which we des
pair ot seeing removed sooner than
from ten to twenty years, render it im
possible for a private or public river
transportation company to subsist in
competition with a powerful and wealthy
corporations, unless the cost of transfer
shall be lower than it is possible to be
under any practical system, more expen
sive than a portage railroad.
Whereas, we believe that such a
portage railroad in connection with a
line of boats on the middle Columbia
would save to the farmers and producers
many times its cost-to the state annually,
and
Whebeas, we believe that without
some such relief in the immediate future
the- interests of the producers of said
section will be greatly imperiled, if not
fatally ruined, now therefore, be it
Resolved, that we the members of the

We are tired, tired of waiting for what

for baseball, and the reception commit

Talmagre on Saloon Keepers.
Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, in an ad
dress to saloon keepers, closes with his
strong paragraph: "I tell you plainly
that you will meet your customers one
day when there will be no counter be
tween you. When your work is done on
earth, and you enter the reward of your
business, all the souls of the men whom
you have destroyed will crowd around
you, and pour their bitterness into your
cud. Thev will show von their wounds
and say Too made them ; and point to
tneir unquenchable thirst, and say You
kindled it, and rattle the chain and say,

you off' the verge of great " precipices:

The word "hobo" as used m Oreeon
for a bad character, is said to be derived
from the Indian word "Hobomocco,'' . a
bad or evil genius. In other states it is
used as a term of derision, and has prob

FEARFUL MINING EXPLOSION.
A Mine Blows ITp in PennsyWania and
Kills a Lars;e Number of Employes.
Pittsbtrg, Jan. 27. A special from
Mt. Pleasant, Pa., says that a gas ex
plosion in the mammoth shaft of the H.
C; Frick Coke Cos mine, abont ten miles
from this place occurred this morning.
Between 50 and 80 men were in the
mine at tbe time of the explosion.
Eighteen bodies have been taken out.
It is estimated that fifty men are killed.
It is very difficult to get particulars of
the explosion although it occurred at
nine this morning.
The mines are about half way between
Latrobe and Mount Pleasant. The ma
chinery which runs the fans was not in
jured and plenty of fresh air was forced
into the mine to sustain theliving and
allow rescuing parties to enter in safety
and bring out the bodies.
The mine is badly wrecked in places
and it is not possible to get an accurate
idea of the number living or injured
who may be burned 6r imprisoned.
There is no fire in the mine iesulting
from the explosion.
It is said that most of the killed are
either English speaking or German
miners. The shaft is about 100 feet
deep and has a number of galleries.
The superintendent has organized re
lief parties and is busily engaged in try
ing to penetrate the mine.
Kins; Kalakaua's Death WU1 not Dis
turb the Relations.
Sax Francisco, Jan. 25. Colonel Mac
Farlane, chamberlain to the late King
Kalakaua, when shown a dispatch from
Denver stating that a plan was on foot
to overthrow the Hawaiian throne and
inaugurate a republic with himself as
president, characterized it as an absurd
statement with not a particle of truth in
it. The colonel leaves for Honolula on
the steamer Australia on Tuesday next.
Colonel MacFarlane does not share the
opinion that Queen Liliaukalini is in
clined to affiliate closely with England,
and believes that the death of the king
will not influence reciprocity of Hawaii
with the United States, because he
knows the queen to be thoroughly im
bued with the spirit which has for many
years been the ruling sentiment of Kal
akaua in reference to his policy toward
America.
Colonel MacFarlane has most of King
Kalakaua's private papers in his posses
sion, and will take them to Honolulu.
He states that the casket in which the
body will be transported will not be
used at the final interment, it being the
custom from time immemorial to bury
monarchs in Hawaiian coffins of native
wood, elaborately embellished. Accord
ing to Colonel MacFarlane's statement
the body will lie in state in the throne
room for one week after its arrival
Honolulu, and the colonel thinks that
at least three weeks will pass after the
Charleston reaches the island before the
king's body will be placed in its final
resting place, the grand mausoleum, in
groves of Nunaun valley.
Colonel McFarlane was prevented by
illness from returning to Honolula on
the Charleston, but has nearly recovered
He also said today that the real object
of Kalakaua's visit to the United States
was to readjust the Hawaiian reciproc
ity treaty and have it taken out of the
operation of the McKinley bill. In fact
he had delayed his departure so as to
hear from his minister at Washington
and, if his illness had not prevented, he
had intended making a flying trip
Washington to see , the president and
Mr. Blaine in person, on the subject,
His influence during the last session of
the Hawaiian legislature prevented any
action being taken by them on the sub
ject for fear it would make the question
more difficult.
THE HORROR GROWS.
ANOTHER EXODUS.
Large Bodies of Negrroes MoTinjr To
wards Oklahoma.
Birmingham, Ala., Jan 27. A big ex
odus of negroes from the state to Okla
homa has set in. Fifty families of
negroes left here yesterday for King
fisher, and they will be followed in a
few days by 200 families of negroes.
A Negro by the name of Foster from
Leavenworth, Kansas has been among
the Negroes here some time, working up
business. He represents to them that
they can obtain rich farming lands in
Oklahoma for almost nothing, and if
enough of them go they can secure
absolute control and government of the
territory. The latter seems to be the
principal inducement. A number of
Negroes who owned good farms here
have sold out everything and will join
in the exodus.

Chevesxe, Wyo., Jan. 25. Details of
a duel between cowboys at Lander have
been received, which show it to have
been a deliberately planned affair. One
of the cowboys goes by the name of Six
Shooter Billy and the other is called
Dab. Their trouble arose over a game
of cards and they, decided to settle it
with six-shooters. They adjourned to a
corral near the ranch buildings. Several
cowboys attempted to stop the fight but
without success. The men stood back
to back, then each walked fifteen steps
turned and commenced firing. Six-
Shooter Billy was killed, four bullets
tr iking Tiim before he fell. Dab was
shot three times, in the head, shoulder
and hip. He is lying at the ranch in a
dying condition. Both men are from
Texas, but their real names are not
known. .

New York, Jan. 25. A World's Boul
ogne special says : The rival Irish fac
tions have been talking at the Hotel du
Louvre for two days, but tonight they
are apparently no nearer a settlement oi
the tiresome dispute than before, Mc
Carthy and Sexton are fresh from Ha
warden, whither they went to get assur
ance for Parnell's demands as the price
of his retirement. If Gladstone had rev
fused these assurances there would have
been an end to the negotiations at once.
Their continuance shows that some basip
of settlement is under discussion. The
first thing McCarthy did on seeing O'
Brien and Dillon was to telegraph to the
Bantry factions at Dublin to stop all
agitation against Parnell until the Boul
ogne meeting was over. This also in
dicates the. issue of the conference to be
helpful, as otherwise McCarthy would
not obstruct any Parnell campaign.

Over a Hundred Dead Bodies Taken
of the Exploded Mine.
Youkgwood, Pa. Jan. 28. One Hun
dred and seven bodies have been taken
from the ill-fated mine of Frick & Co. at
the Mammoth mine up to 10 o'clock this'
morning. It is estimated that the re
mains of at least seventeen more victims
of yesterday's explosion are still in the
pit. It is thought that all will be out in
a few hours.
Nobody slept at Mammoth last night,
In every home and in every little mining
hamlet there was mourning.
Fifty coffins arrived from Pittsburg
this morning and another half a hun
dred will reach here tonight.
An additional order for twenty-five
more was sent this morning.
The cause of the explosion is not yet
determined. " The coroner is on the
ground and a thorough investigation
will be made.
Roll call of all men is in progress and
by. this the exact number of missing will
be well known.
The rescuing party is working with
energy ana the wreck: in the shaft is
being fast cleared up.
Officials of the Frick company said
this morning : "It may never be known
how or why the explosion occurred. An
accumulation of fire damp was probably
the cause, but it was never known to
exist in any quantity before, in fact it
may be said that the Mammoth mine
has been free from damp. There is a
theory that a pocket of natural gas was
reached and that the operation of venti
lating fans now prevents any accumula
tion of it."
- There has been found up to 2 o'clock
this afternoon 110 bodies and of this
number, fifty-three have been identified.
