to
tne people of this section. The senator
commenced his remarks bv referring to
the evidences of prosperity and growth
and development he had observed every
where, on his trip from Portland to La
Grand, as well as in Portland and the
cities of the Willamette valley. Twenty
nine years ago he had passed the phice
where Baker City now stands, when it
had not an inhabitant and camped on
the site of La Grand, when it had only
two shanties in the whole of that lovely
valley. Portland had only about 4500
inhabitants when he first came to reside
there, now it is a great teeming, prosper
ous city of 70,000 persons. He thought
this northwest country and he saw no
reason to doubt that the next few years
would see a great Influx of population.
This country is practically the last place
in the United States for settlement and
cultivation. The best parts of the Mis
sissippi valley have been already settled,
and the country between there and
Eastern Oregon is not adapted to a large
population. A hundred years ago there
was not a white man on the Pacific
coast from the Gulf of California to the
regions of eternal ice.
The senator gave some interesting fig
ures showing the amount of appropria
tions made for the improvements of our
rivers and harbors, since the year 1822.
From that date to 1S90 no less than $205,
753,330 had been expended, and nearly
half of this sum had been appropriated
since he took his seat in congress in 18S3.
Oregon had succeeded in
$5,779,816. The appropria
tions secured last season for work in this
state amounted to $1,495,500; and this
sum exceeded any general appropriation
made by the government up to the year
1868. These figures proved t hat congress
had treated Oregon kindly. The jetty
at the mouth of the Columbia was a
complete success. There was now a
depth of twenty-seven feet at mean low
tide. Another small appropriation will ;
suffice to finish the work when the bar
at the mouth of the Columbia will be
practically a thing of the past and we
shall have a Safe entrance for the largest
vessels in the world. Speaking of the
works at the Cascades the senator
regreted that it will take nearly as much
to finish them as has . already been ap
propriated. He characterized the man
ner in which the appropriations are
made as unbusinesslike, wasteful and
criminal. Unless something unusual
occurred he hoped to secure, next session
of congress, enough to complete, at least,
one of the great works of the state and
perhaps both. He had never opposed
the building of a portage road by the
state, but he did not believe that con
gress would consent to build a portage
road around the obstructions at The
Dalles. The United States had never
built a portage road. A railroad is not
strictly a river improvement. To build
such would be a new departure and
would be considered the entering wedge
for others, like the camel in the tailor's
shop, once he got his head in it was
easy to get the rest. He was not in
favor of a camel. It would cost more
than ten million dollars and could
not be built for many year.' A
boat railroad was perfectly prac
ticable and could be finished in one
or two years at farthest ; large boats can
be transported overland without injury.
This fact is beyond question. A boat
railroad, seventeen miles in length is
now in course of construction and will
soon be finished across the bay of Chig
nesto. By its means large vessels will
be lifted out of the Bay of Fundy and
transported to the Gulf of St. Lawrence,
The estimated cost of such a road around
The Dalles is $2,900,000. Referring to
the matter that was uppermost in all
minds, nauely, that of urging the com
pletion of the works at the Cascades by
the contract system. The senator read
extracts from a letter of Major Handbury
to the chief of engineers wherein the
major deprecates the idea on the ground
that a dishonest contractor would have
too many opportunities for using cheap
material and doing poor work and that
as the government has every needed ap
pliance and a well organized force for
doing the work and is doing it honestly
economically and with all possible dis
patch, consistent with the amount of
money at its disposal, its officers should
not be set aside to give way to an indi
vidual, whose only merit might be that
he thinks he can do it cheaper than the
government and is willing to give bonds
The senator referred ' to the difficulty
likely to be encountered through the op
position of the war department officers
to any change in the manner of com
pletfng the works, but promised to give
the proposal his earnest and hearty sup
port, ah otner government works are
conducted by the war department and it
is difficult to secure a ruling not appli
cable to all. In conclusion the senator
hoped that when his term in congress
was over he might be able to take a boat
at Pasco and sail down the river unin
teruptedly to Portland. At the close of
the address, which occupied over an
hour, a few questions were asked the
senator by gentlemen in the audience
and politely answered, or, as some of
them were of a delicate nature, politely
evaaea, tne meeting separated.

In a conversation with the foreman, that

Some mau comes and says to me: "Why

the progress of the Nineteenth century,
and talk of something more exhilarating?"
It is for this reason: A man never wants

want to hear about medicines. Why do
you talk to me of physicians? I never

But suppose I come into your house and
I find yon severely sick, and I know the
medicines that will cure you, and I know

How do you prove that we are in a ruined

two ways, and you may have your choice.
I can prove it by the statements of men r
by the statement of God. Which shall it

"The heart is deceitful above all things and

said: "Father, I have done very wrong and

Christ whatever your crime has been,

It is the belief among both the ignorant
and the educated classes of. China that
eclipses of the. sun are caused by a great
dragon which attempts to devour the cen
ter of our solar system. An eclipse which
was visible in the Celestial empire occurred
at a time when the people were celebrating
the birthday of the emperor. Now, it is
the custom to celebrate such an event clad
in the best raiment that can be afforded;
it is also customary to wear sackcloth and
go into mourning at the time of an eclipse.

from the great dragon which seeks to de

Miss Fenderson is one of those lovely,
nymphlike maidens who seem the incarna
tion of some poet's dream of beauty. Sh
is somewhat above medium height, with a
lithe, graceful figure, exquisite in its pro
portions, and a bearing of mingled ease
and dignity. The clustering locks of her
bright, golden brown hair contrast strik
ingly with her large, velvety lashes over
arched by strongly marked eyebrows. In
moments of animation or excitement the
pale tea rose tint of her cheeks deepens and
flushes like "a rosy dawn," and her brill
iant eyes glow with redoubled luster. Hera
is not the beauty of coloring alone, for her
features have a cameolike delicacy and
regularity. New Orleans Picayune.
