A slight but very perceptible shock f
earthquake was felt in Portland atS::-50
yesterday evening. It was plainly felt
by the audience at the Marquham thea

Western Union office, at the office of the
Postal Telegraph company, and was
particularly severe on Portland Heights.
There' buildings rocked and windows
and crockery rattled and people rushed

beautiful sketch of Mt. Hood from
Dutch Flat, a handsome oil painting of
the Cascades viewed from below the
falls, a fine oil painting of Crate's point
on the Columbia viewed from the acad
emy window, a Mexican street scene in
water colore, a variety of finely executed
studies in still life and numerous other
works of art impossible to mention here
whose execution proves that Miss Story
has unquestionably chosen .the path of
life for which she has a natural genius.
Painters, like poets, are born, not made.
The genius of Miss Story has been culti
vated by the best instruction in her
chosen profession the country affords.
She will instruct a limited number of
pupils in painting in water colors and
oils, China painting, and crayon, char
: coal and pastelle work, and will be
pleased to welcome all visitors who may
call to see her work. '"'...'

Before the Regulator was tied op the
state board of portage commissioners
requested of the directors of the D. P. &
A. N. Co. that when it ehonld become
necessary or convenient to tie np it was
desired the boats ehonld remain so for a
length of time sufficient to enable the
portage commissioners to finish the
lower end of the western incline, which
could best be done when the water was
at its lowest stage. The request was
nrged on the gronnds that handling
freights during the fall, while the incline
was in an unfinished condition, was at
tended with considerable unnecessary
expense both to the etate and the boat
company. As soon as the boats were
tied up the work was commenced and
Manager B. F. Laughlin has just received
the following letter from Superintendent
J. N. Ryan, in answer to one sent to that
gentleman requesting to know what pro
gress had been made and wnen the por
tage would be ready for traffic. It will
be seen that Mr. Ryan expects to have
evervthine in readiness by the 15th in
stant, the time fixed by the boat com
pany for starting the Regulator.

Editor Chronicle:
During the past week our citizens have
been shaking off the mos6 from the backs
and the prospects for a good time are
brightening.
On the 30th ult., a permanent repub
lican club was organized with 45 mem
bers. An armory stockholder's meeting
was held the same day at which it was
resolved to commence work on the arm
ory at once, there being enough stock
subscribed in work, material and cash
to partly finish the building so that it
could be used, at lest, for drilling pur
poses. The building will be 48 by 98
feet. The first story 12 feel high, and
the second 11 feet. Mr. Bishop fur
nished the plans. The farmers on the
east side of Hood River held a meeting
on the same day of persons interested in
a water ditch. We have two ditch com
panies here now with good prospects of
commencing work in the spring.

Editor Chronicle:
Since you last heard from me, death
has entered our midst and taken, al
most without warning, our dearly be
loved president. When he died, Prof.
B. I, Arnold was about 52 years old and
had been president of this institution
nearly 21 years.
He died at his residence, in possession
of all his faculties, about half past six
last Saturday evening, after an illness of
little over a week. When it was learned
be bad died, friends were telegraphed
for. The students gathered in the Col
lege Chapel at 2 o'clock Sunday after
noon and elected two delegates from each
class as a committee which was to write
np some suitable resolutions in memory
of the departed, and also made some ar
raneements concerning flowers for the
coffin.
Monday morning at 9 o'clock students
met for chapel exercises, then the girls
flew to making some nice wreaths and
preparing other floral decorations, while
the bovs got their uniforms in trim for
inarching.
At 2 p. m. the cadets formed in line
on each side of the walk and stood with
uncovered heads while the Masons
marched between the ranks bearing the
lifeless remains of President Arnold.
The short religious exercises at the
chapel were conducted by the Rev.'s
Bell of Independence, and Pluminer of
Corvallis. Then the lid of the coffin was
raised to allow the students a last fare
well look, when the boys marched in
double file to the head of the coffic, sep
arated, each took a farewell look, joined
his companion and marching out again
into liue. The funeral was conducted
throughout in the solemn rites of Mas
onry.
The large flag over the public school
and also the one over the college floated
at half mast, while business in the city
was ahnoet entirely suspended.

A Letter From Wamic.
Wamic, February 1, 1892.
Mr. Editor : I see in the columns of
your paper, the "Chkoxicle," that the
county court has added the two mills to
the tax that your paper suggested, to
aid in the building of roads and bridges.
This act the people should appreciate,
and not only appreciate but keep the
ball rolling, and to dp this we will say
there are 300 tax payers in the three
places Tygh Valley, Wamic and Wapi
nitia and we circulate a subscription
paper asking $ 10 per man, and I'll ven
ture to say that there is not a man in
either of the three places that will ob
ject to this amount and many that will
double and treble it, but I wilLsay an
average of $10 per man. This alone
would amount to $3000 and this, with
the amount proportioned to us by the
county, whatever it should be, would
make a good start toward building a
new and good grade np this most miser
able of hills. Let us strike the iron
while it is hot. Have such a paper
printed as would be legal and collectable
for the manner of respective subscribers,
and have it circulated in the three
places for subscription. This done and
carried out we will eoon have a road that
one team can pull up 2,500 or 3,000
pounds. And besides this Tygh Hill and
The Dalles might offer some assistance.
Thanking the Chronicle for its en
deavor to attain these assistances and
also for its suggestions, I remain as one
of the people, Uncle Toby
Wainlc Items.

Editor of the Chronicle:
A. C. Sanford the soliciting agent for
the well known firm of Filloon Brothers,
was seen on our streets last Wednesday,
but was called home in haste on account
of -his little daughter "Gladys" being
quite ill.
The weather remains spring like with
the exception of occasional showers and
freezing of nights which is no advantage
to winter grain.
Another team goes tumbling down the
almost perpendicular 'slopes below the
infernal load called Tygh hill, but by
mere chmice or good luck, the team was
not ground to a pulp sliding over the
rocks and frozen ground, the men seeing
their awful destiny jumped from the
wagon and grasping some greace wood
neat by, saved themselves from sliding
down the hill and landing at the bottom
a mangled heap of humanity. The
wagon as a natural consequence, was al
most a total wreck. Not only these- two
men but others have had the same ex
perience in seeing their team, wagon
and load go down the bluffs of this awful
cow trail to destruction, and as I write,
news of another team and hack going
over the bluffs with two men doing their
utmost to hold it on the grade, and still
the county will be petitioned, pleaded
with, prayed to, and every conceivable
way used to secure an appropriation to
assist in constructing a decent road up
this hill but without avail. It is an un
mistakable fact that the people are in as
much need of, and are as much entitled
to a good road up this hill as to a free
bridge across the Deschutes. The county
court should in the near future do some
thing that in some way this hill might
be remedied and probably the loss of
life saved, and possibly a cost to the
county for damages. U. T.

From Oh Owl Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, Jan. 27, 1891.
Representative Hermann very clev
erly availed himself of the presence of
the Hon. A. Noltner, of the Democratic
State Central committee of Oregon, who
was (last week) visiting this city as a
member of the national committee of
his party. In response to a particular
request of the congressman, Mr. Nolt
jjer remained in town until Monday, the
25th instant, when he was introduced
to the house committee on rivers and
harbors. There was a full attendance of
members and the citizen from Oregon
held their undivided attention for a good
half hour.' His argument for an open
river was based npon facts and figures
which were stated clearly and with great
felicity of expression.
He gave a brief but graphic sketch of
the vast valley of the Columbia and its
chief tributary, Snake' river, and then
entered into more or less detail respect
ing resources of the country destined to
be developed by removal of obstacles
impeding the navigation of the great
water highway. Among other facts the
committee learned, during this talk,
that twelve years (or less) ago the cereal
crops grown in that part of the world,
happily designated "The Inland Em
pire," wire so inconsiderable as to be
unworthy of especial attention. The
entire country "east of the Cascade
mountains was then devoted to grazing
cattle, sheep and horses. The popula
tion, outside the towns, principally en
gaged in pastoral pursuits. Wool was
then the only staple article of export.
The agriculturalist had more recently
come and planted wheat. But that cul
tivation, at first experimental, had de
veloped a permanent tillage of the soil
for the production of breadstuff's and
had, generally speaking, destroyed the
peculiar grass of the region and driven
the stock man from the plains. This
could scarcely be considered an evil in
view of the prolific crops which followed
the farmer's toil. The yield so encour
aging to agriculture was, to put it at a
minimum rate, from thirty to thirty-five
bushels to the acre, and he (Noltner)
knew of localities where sixty or more
bushels had been harvested, per acre,
but did not care to dwell upon excep
tional instances.
Harvests for the entire region now
yielded, in the aggregate, from thirty to
thirty-five millions of bushels, per an
num, which output might be trippled if
the farmer could gain, a market so as to
sell for an average price of fifty cents
per bushel.
The several members of the committee
plied him with questions and subjected
him to a searching examination, but he
answered each to the point and imparted
valuable information.
Delegates from several boards of trade
of towns in the Pacific northwest, now
here in attendance upon a meeting of
of the National Roard of Trade, ap
peared before the committee this week
at the request of Mr. Hermann and
made a very favorable impression. The
fact that the people of Oregon would not
alone be benefited, but the states of
Washington and Idaho are likewise in
terested in overcoming the obstructions
of the Columbia has been made manifest
by testimony and established as a fact
which was before only approved by ref
erence to the map. All these persons
disclaimed any service of personal end
by their advocacy of an open river but
cheerfully spoke in behalf of their
. ii ... r . 1 i .
ieiiow ciuzeuj, oi me mianu empire.
The railway portage at the Cascades,
recently constructed by the state of Or
egon, had already demonstrated its
great value to those who practically
tested its ability and a similar portage
at the dalles could not but prove infi
nitely more advantageous to the mater
ial welfare of the farmer who could avail
himself of its facilities for moving his
crops to a market.
Whenever anv proposed measure for
the improvement of rivers and harbors
public buildings, everything in fact
needed for the advancement and devel
opment of the country is more under
consideration, it must be borne in mind
that the.Holman resolution, recently
passed in the house, is a lion in the way
constantly staring at every project no
matter how worthy. Notwithstanding
that handicap Mr. Hermann is pledged
to use every honorable means to secure
an adequate appropriation for overcom -ing
the obstacles to navigation near The
Dalles. He assures me that after ma
ture reflection, and carefully canvasing
with his colleagues of the committee he
has abandoned, as impractiacable, any
attempts at this time, to secure even a
hearing in behalf of any other improve
ments of the river, between your city
and Celilo, than by means of a portage
railway. This project is lets open to ob
jections in the midst of the committee
than other proposed plans and in the
event of adoption will become more
speedily available for purposes of com
merce. The method of overcoming the ob
structions at the dalles, by means of boat
railways and lifts, as in vogne in certain
places in Europe and proposed to be
used by Captain Eades in his isthmian
railway scheme involves an estimated
expence of $2,860,356,35 to be followed
by an annual expenditure of $80,000,00
for operation only part of each -day. Al
though the senate endorsed this method
by passage of a bill, during the last ses
sion, of the 51st congress, the house
committee looks upon such schemes as
an experimental innovation. -. Those
ideas, together with a contemplation of
the amount of money involved, bars it
from" consideration.
Major Handbury estimates that it will
cost $3,754,355 to construct locks and
canals and improve certain portions of
the obstructions to secure open river
navigation. The length of time, such an
undertaking would involve tor its com
pletion, to say nothing of the mere bag
atelle of three and three quarters of a
million dollars puts it without the pale
of possibilities or probabilities now.
The rapidity with which work has pro
gressed upon the locks at the Cascades,
inspired the belief that if the Handbury
proposition should by any means at any
time be adopted, the crack of doom
would be at hand before the undertaking
has fairly .began. The portage railway
scheme is therefore the only available
project which can now be urged with
any hope of success. Until the 10th of
February the matter will remain open
for the consideration of facts and argu
ments. The committee desires, if it
does not demand, more than mere senti
ment as the substance of the considera
tions which shall move them to favora
ble action. Mr. Hermann's petition has
been fortified by presentation of letters
and statistics he has received from
Washington, Idaho and Eastern Oregon
and from the governors of those states.
The moral support of those communities
has been helpful to his cause. . We un
derstand that a Certain mail, soon to ar
rive, will bring him further supply of
data from which he hopes to be able to
authoritatively state the -number of
bushels of grain raised, quantity trans
ported now by rail and river, amount of
freights and tolls. This, together with
other documentary evidence exhibiting
possible or probable savings to the
farmer and so on, and so on, will be very
helpful.
In the absence of delegations of influ
ential citizen's properly accredited from
the Dalles who could give personal en
dorsement to the efforts of your repre
sentative, Mr. Hermann has a very dif
ficult task before "him. Such bodies of
citizens are continually being sent from
remote as well as near by states, and are
usually effective in promoting needful
legislation, as for example: Last year a
special delegation came from California
to urge a consideration of the needs of
the people who desire improvement of
the Sacramento river. They were re
markably successful and that without
any merit which will compare with the
claims of the Columbia.
Your congressman has urged the rep
resentatives from Washington and Idaho
to come to his assistance, out so far has
fought for bis measure without their ac
tive support, he believes, however, they
will be enlisted in the good cause before
it is too late. Thus far he has availed
himself of the presence of every Oregon
ian visiting the capital and obtained
their views for members of the commit
tee, proverbially speaking, no stone has
been left unturned and now he feels free
to express the hope that he will succeed
in obtaining substantial recognition and
endorsement for the proposed railway.
