LESSON OF THE WHALEBACKS.
A Picture Which Tells More Than a
Long Newspaper Argument
TWR. I.IK17S HUBBARD'S QTJIET WORK
A. Plea For a Reduction in Freight
. .. Rates to Furnish Oar Fruit
Grower a Market.
From the Portland' Telegram, 25th.
"Everybody in The Dalles feels that
the Telegram is their friend and that it
will help them in any legitimate way
possible." This remark was made by
. G. W. Ingalls, the pnshing immigration
agent of the state, to a reporter last
r night. At the same time he unfolded a
package and said : "Here is a picture
that I want you to observe carefully, and
Bee if it isn't a strong argument in favor
of an open river and the quick comple
tion of the Cascade locks." The reporter
took the picture and observed it closely,
It consists of two neat photographs on
a piece of cardboard 10x8 inches. The
npper one is a photograph of the whale'
i i , tt r . .f 1
Sault Ste Marie locks, and the lower one
. - a i. n nr 11 t,. rt 1
whaleback barge alongside of each other
in the same canal.
Some rithy Lines.
UnHprnpath the latter are. the nit.hv
lines:
If our senators and congressmen
Heed the signs of the hour,
These steamers and more by many a score
Will pass the Cascade locks In 'SM.
Below the lines are the following :
PROPHECY OP THE WHALEBACKS.
Quick as the cascade locks are done,
We will carry the inland products
Of Oregon, Idaho and Washington
To every seaport under the sun.
Over the entire picture is the leading
"For an open river from the Inland
Empire to the sea," while down in the
right-hand corner is the name of the
originator of the idea, Linus Hubbard,
ot The .Dalles.
Convincing Argument.
Viewed as a whole it is a most con
vincing argument in favor of the com
pletion of the canal, and will have a
.greater influence than a hundred pages
of facts and figures in manuscript or
print. Mr. Hubbard has sent copies to
every cangressman, to many Eastern
journals, and to all papers of Eastern
Oregon. It simply and plainly shows
that big vessels can navigate the
Columbia to the Inland Empire if a
vanal is finished like that at Sault Ste
Marie.
In the Fruit Land.
Mr. Ingalls has just been on an ex
tended trip through the splendid fruit
country along the Columbia river between
Hood river and a point about twenty
mile east of The Dalles, securing apples
to send to the exhibit in the "Oregon on
Wheels," which is now in the far east.
He is very enthusiastic over this section,
And says the finest apples in the land can
be raised there on both sides of the river,
Among the varieties are the red-cheek
pippin, Newtown pippin,Eoxbury russet
Baldwin, lady finger and Gravenstein.
The orchards are bothered with the wooly
aphis and other vermin; but by proper
watching these can be killed off.
A Little Discouraged.
At The Dalles Mr. Ingalls addressed the
Eastern Oregon Horticultural society,
orA nA 1. C 1, I (.,1 : V l
ities of their fruit'eountry. After he was
through he was informed that rates were
so adverse to them that they could not
get their fruit into market, and, hence,
were discouraged and did not give great
attention to their orchards. Bearing this
in mind when he came down on the
Dalles City steamboat, he asked the cap
tain if he could not make a special rate
to enable the fruit raisers to get their ap
ples into Portland.
A Reduction to Come.
At present they have to pay express
rates of 75 cents on 500-pound lots, or $1
for less quantities ; for freight rates, 42
cents on auu-pound lots and 39 cents on
carloads or like bulk. Mr. Ingalls urged
that the steamboat company make a 20-
25 cents on less amounts. The captain
said he would put the matter before the
Affim'ola a TlalTar. 1 If. T lt
himself will urge the reduction, and the
low rate will doubtless be secured. It
would be for the interests of the Union
Pacific to do the same, and they will
very likely follow the lead when the sit
uation is carefully laid before them. .
We notice an ominous silence lately
on the part of the Spokane Review, Al
bany Herald, Baker City Blade and
other republican papers that up till a
short time since have been advocating
free coinage of silver, says the Telegram.
Then it adds: "Do they not dare to
bark any more because Sir Oracle is
about to open his mouth ?"
The Ellis island investigation will let
Assistant Secretary Nettleton, of the
treasury, out of hie place.
.'- Mount Hood would make a -magnificent
public park or reservation, and the
project of having a large tract of govern
ment land including a large share of tbe
hoary old peak has been agitated for
some time past. To secure such a dona
tion from the government, it is not nec
essary that there should be a special act
of congress on the subject; as many sup
pose. Under an act of congress approved
March 3, 1891, which act authorizes the
president of the United States to eet
anart and reserve certain public lands
bearing the forests, the president can set
apart and declare the establishment ot
such lands and reservation by a publ
proclamation, Any action taken by the
chamber of commerce, Alpine club or
any other reputable and representative
body of men, asking for the establish,
ment of a public park or reservation in'
eluding in its limits Mount Hood, would
probably result in the securing of the
same. Action, however, should be taken
before settlers locate on the iana.
When the first spile was toeing pre
pared for use at the commencement of
of the railroad work at Astoria a few
davs 6ince it was found necessary to
saw off the top so as to leave a flat sur
face for the driver to fall upon, and of
course there were many anxious, to
secure the piece cut off to preserve as a
relic. It was captured by Hon. Sam
Elmore and carried up to his cannery
office door, where he handed it to one of
the employes named Ah Dock, with the
instruction to place it in the office. The
Chinaman looked at it inquiringly, and
then gazed upon the numerous other
chunks of wood lying arottnd. "Whlat
for?" he asked laconically. Mr. Elmore
proceeded to explain that attached to
the relic were associations that gave it
an intrinsic value, when he was inter
rupted by, "Tlinsic I What you mean?"
inquired Dock. "Oh put itin the office,
and I'll come down and explain some
other time. I'm in a hurry now," said
Mr. Elmore, as he went his way up
town. Mr. Elmore is going to have the
relic dressed and framed.
ENGLAND HAS NO RIGHT
Salisbury Intentions Wliy Care we for
Ms Intentions?
LET HIM PERSIST IN REFUSALS.
The Whole Controversy a Blunder From
Beginning to End.
IMPUDENCE V. THOUGHTLESSNESS.
A Bight Which we Acquired From Rus
siaEngland has no Sort of
Standing Minor Mention.
New York, March 28. The question
has been raised, and is one which must
be insisted upon soon: "What has
England to say about seals in Bearing
sea, anyhow?" Well informed people
have insisted from the first that it was a
mistake to consider the idea of arbitrat
ing with England as to a right which we
acquired from Russia, and in which Eng
land had no sort of standing. It was an
exhibition of characteristic- British im
pudence to make such a proposition, and
of characteristic American thoughtless
ness to entertain it, for the fraction of a
second. In doing so we consented to the
impeachment of our own title, to a slur
upon the integrity of the transaction by
which this title was conveyed to us, and
to the admission of England's right to
enter a claim in the premises. It was a
miserable blunder from beginning to
end. It is not too late, ' however, to
withdraw from this sinister entangle
ment. Thanks to Lord Salisbury's latest
performance in the field of his peculiar
diplomacy, and to the interlude of plain,
straightforward American assertion,
with which Mr. Harrison Eas favored us,
there seems to be a perfectly legitimate
opportunity for us. No one can com-
plain,if we take advantage of this oppor
tunity to retire from the whole wretched
complication and stand once more upon
our rights and our recovered manhood.
If Great Britain wishes to take the re
sponsibility of a fight, let them begin.
It will react upon them with such force
as to shatter royalty, bankrupt their
kingdom for damages, and cause the
world to admire brother Jonathan as he
has never been admired before.
The Pacific coast is becoming celebra
ted for its fisheries. Census statistics
show that the fisheries of California are
more important than those of either Or
egon or Washington. Of the capital in
vested, $2,684,210 represented California
interests, the value of products of that
state being $4,463,369. Oregon ranks
next in importance, having a capital in
vested of $2,296,632, and a product of
$1,033,574. The amount of capital in
vested in Washington is given as $517,
397 and products $891,860, and compared
with 1890 the fisheries of this region have
as a whole greatly advanced, although a
few special branches show a decline.
Saturday's storm was practicallv
severe all along the coast of New Jersey.

Washington, Marck 28. Today, or
tomorrow, an effort will be made to
again bring the silver bill up in the
house, by adoption of the "cloture rule,"
to force a vote. All the democratic
papers of the east opposed to free coin
age are holding the republicans respon
sible for endeavoring to secure a vote on
the direct question. It may be that the
republicans will not vote as a unit on
this matter, but it is probable that
enough of them will go on record to
adopt the cloture rule, and then, when
the vote comes direct on the free coin
age issue they will stand squarely on
republican platforms opposing the
Bland bill. It is said that senators are
anxious that the bill, cloture rule and
all, .shall be kept out of that body, as
there are but ten republican senators
to vote for free coinage. The republi
cans of the house who voted to table the
bill - based their action on the ground
that the proceedings had reached a
stage where the democratic party could
no longer dodge the question, and that
the vote on the motion to table would
show as fully and plainly where the
party stood as a vote direct on the pas
sage of the bill would -have done. A
very, large majority of the democratic
members voted for free coinage, while
but eleven republicans yoted for it, and
these from silver producing states. Of
the democrats who voted to table the
bill, many are avowed free-coinage men,
but want to postpone action until after
the presidential election. The demo
cratic party is as fully committed' to
free coinage of" silver as the republican
party is committed against it, and the
platforms that will be made by the two
parties in June will accentuate this
difference still more sharply. There is
a sentiment against any further agita
tion of the matter, and there are people
who do not want the bill to go to the
president as it probably would in case
it passed the house. Speaker Crisp
said Saturday he did not think the rule
relative to the bill could be brought
into the house and called up today, but
but that it would probably come up
tomorrow.
A Murderer of Women.
Melboubne, March 26. The Argus
announces that Deeming has confessed
to the murder of bis wife and four chil
dren at Denhani Villa, Rain Hill, near
Liverpool, and he has also confessed to
the murder and mutilation of the last
two women whose bodies were found in
the purlieus of Whitechapel. Deem-
ing's appearance closely tallies with the
description given the Whitechapel fiend,
"Jack, the Kipper," and, although he
does not admit the killing of the other
Whitechapel victims, it is believed when
he finds all hope of escape from the
clutches of the law cut off be will con
fess not only these murders, but others
of which the police know nothing. It
transpires the unfortunate woman whose
body was found, together with four chil
dren, under the floor of the residence
was not Deeming's first wife. Some
years ago a sensation was created in
Australia by the mysterous disappear
ance of the wife and two children of a
man who then went by the name of
Williams, but who turns out to be
Deeming. The family resided in Sydney, i
There was a grave suspicion of foul play
at the time, but the bodies were not
found, but the essential proof of murder
being lacking the matter was allowed to
drop. Deeming subsequently went to
England and married the woman whose
murder he now confesses. The Argut
says Deeming makes no mention of his
object in mutilating the bodies of the
Whitechapel victims.
Work of Saturday's Storm.
Omaha, Neb., March 28. Communi
cation by telegraph and telephone has
been almost entirely cut off in the city
by the severe snow storm now raging.
Poles in all part of the city have been
broken down and the mass of wires is
blocking travel. The street-car service
has . been abandoned. The storm
started early this morning with rain,
which quickly turned to snow, with a
driving wind from the north. It is un
doubtedly the worst storm of the season.
BOARDS DRIVEN THROUGH BBICK WALLS.
Cebho Gordo, Ills. March 28. A dis
astrous cyclone visited this vicinity to
day. A track 200 feet wide was swept
through the most thickly inhabited part
of the country. Barns and outbuildings
of all descriptions were demolished, but
fortunately no lives were lost. The
damage to property will be very heavy,
but no accurate estimate can be made at
this time. Boards and rails were driven
through the walls of brick bouses as if
shot put of a cannon.
TWESTY-FIVE BUILDINGS KUISED.
- Moxticello, 111., March 28. A tor
nado, accompanied by a severe hail
storm, visited Piatt county today, dam
aging many thousand dollars' worth of
property and leveling buildings. The
tornado swept over Cerro Gordo, near
here, and destroyed twenty-five build
ings. Barns and out-houses were car
ried from 'their foundations and des
troyed. No loss of life is yet reported,
but there were many narrow escapes. '
BOUGH IN KANSAS.
Kansas Citv, March 28. Dispatches
report a severe wind and rain storm'
throughout the state. At Leavenworth
houses, signs and fences were blown
down. The telegraph facilities are im
paired so that the details from other
points are 'not obtained. The wind
blew a gale here but caused no damage.
damages in other places".-
St. Louis, March 28. Dispatches from
the greater portion of Missouri report
severe rain and wind storms today.
Many instances .of minor damages,
which aggregate considerable, are re
ported. The storm has also reached into
Aakanses and the Indian territory.
KENTUCKY CAUGHT 1T. ' "
Springfield, Ky., March. 28. Several
farm-houses were demolished here this
afternoon by a storm which prevailed
throughout this section.
. Telegraphic Flashes. '
Snow fell briskly in Grass Valley, Cal
last night. .. .
Deeming was started from Australia
yesterday. Several attempts were made
to lynch him, women especially acting
violently. Deeming's lawyer denies that
his client has confessed.
B. L. Upshur, the "son of his father"
young man, who figured so conspicuous
ly last week as the friend of Drayton, in
the Burrowe scandal, was locked up ia a
New York station house yesterday, and
booked on a charge of drunk and disor
derly.
Speaker Crisp went far out of his way
to conciliate the Georgia "cracker" yes
terday says the Oregonian, when he or
dered his name called and made a tie by
his vote, thus defeating a motion to lay
the silver bill upon the table. This
ought to secure the speaker against any

Granite from the mine lately discov
ered in the coast range of mountains
above Willamina, by Mr. A. H. Sale,

Court house for Multinomah county

Sale is a man of experience in such mat
ters, the result of the test will likely
prove satisfactory, as he knows what

. Coming: This Way.
Cascade Locks, March 27:
Editor Chronicle:
The wheelbarrow brigade, bound for
the world's fair, passed through town at
11:30 today. The outfit consisted of a
wheelbarrow, one woman and three
men. But let me state right here, as
regards the so called female, we have our
doubts, because all wear pants. A slight
delay in their travel was caused by the
fact of their getting ditched about a
mile east of this place. The explanation
of the disaster was owing to a loaf of
bread purchased from Mrs. "B." of the
corner grocery..
After tugging ilong the distance
named the party found the burden to
be "more they could bear. The rest of
their effects failing to equalize with the
bread, all was overtoppled into the
ditch. Bnt in time all difficulties were
overmastered, and all proceeded ener
getically in the direction of your city,

safe to say you will "meet them" and
"you'll greet them" in the old familiar
