FOR AN OPEN RIVEK.
letter From a Farmer .'Upon Thl Very
Important Subject. ...
The Klickitat Leader, of Thursday has
"a letter on the subject of an open river,
from which the following is taken : "A
distinguished individual said we must
educate or w e must perish; and we think
it equally true that we must agitate or
we will suffer wrong, and that through
agitation the various questions and is
sues which confront us and in which
. mankind are interested great good has
been accomplished. There is one ques
tion which with the people of Klickitat
county, and in fact, aii other counties
bordering on the . Columbia river, are
- interested in,' and that is the immediate
opening of the Columbia river.' I
That this has not been done years
ago is a standing shame and disgrace to
our United States congress and senate.
Every observing person knows that its
not being opened is due to the influence
brought to bear upon our congressmen
senators and other departments of our
government. It does not hardly seem pos
' sible that one little corporation like the
U. P. railroad company could retard and
absolutely hinder and destroy the wants
of thousands of our citizens, but such is
the case. We as a nation claim that we
have the . best government the sun ever
shown on, that we are a government of
the people, by the people and for the
people. But are we? It seems to
that we are a government of corpora
tions, by corporations and for corpora
tioris, and especially in .the matter of
the opening of the Columbia river.
For more than twenty years there has
been a pressing demand by the people
of eastern Oregon and Washington for
the opening of this grand river, but the
people's wants are nothing.. These cor
porations must be and are rejected oy
our public servants, as they furnish the
sacktthat secures their election, and they
dare not legislate against their interest,
This is a sad state of affairs, but it
true, and there is no use of trying to
dodge it. We must look things squarely
. in the face and be honest enough to ac
knowledge facts. When we come to
look at the insignificance of the, under
taking, we see how email a task it would
be for a government like ours to remove
the obstructions in this river and its
ability to do it and the pressing necessity
of it being done, we can but say that
such neglect and disregard of the rights
of our people by this government is
cough to bring the blush of shame to
the face of every American citizen.

Ex-Senator Ingalls says ' that his

Ingalls. "
It is understood that Senator Hill has
made up his mind that there is no truth

Operating a pool-room is a crime for

The wife of Minister Grubb has had
an order of nobility conferred upon her.

Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
. minister at Washington, was playing
, tennis in the court adjoining the legation
when a neighbor's baby seated in its
carriage rolled down the outer doorsteps.
Sir Julian vaulted lightly over the iron
railing, picked the youngster up from
the pavement and restored it to its
mother. And yet' they say he was a gout.

Ths arrival of .fourteen,, carloads of
rolled oata in this city' from Iowa is: a
sad comnientttry on the energy ' and en-
terprise of Oregon farmers. Oats
to
Oregon would be a good deal like earn
ing coal to Newcastle if our agriculturists
in the state would get a move on them
j selves. Portland Welcome.
Don't lay everything to the farmers,
There are plenty of oats for the manu
facture of rolled oats"; but we have
factories. Pitch into the capitalist.

Don t pitch into any one but if you
have $10 or upwards to spare put it
the service of whoever else is resolved in
good faith to start the mill. Astorian
Yes,- and sundry - and divers other
local industries. Factories I for making
glass and crockery ware, iron castings
leather, boots and shoes, etc., would pay
in The Dalles. We have the sand, the
mines, the hides, etc., and if we have
not got the money we can invite the
capitalist to come and abide with us.
Short Stops.
You cannot rnn a rumor down.
Good advice is not always kind.
Sometimes it is cruel to be kind.
Hope is the greatest of remedies.
The sun is a most brilliant success.
It is the fast man who must go slow.
The cool liar makes it red hot all summer,
Piety is often knee deep.
A burnt mustache dreads the. short cigar.
Brains will not alwavs tell. It sometimes
keeps mum.
Some people find their choicest pleasure

Men and women understand ach other
much better than they understand
themselves. . '
What the extravagant young men really
needs is a poor wife to share his property
with him.
The world is a great factory in which we
all spend our time riveting this and that
together. -

of Soap Creek, the general wanted some
China pheasant sent back to Iowa to be
turned loose on his possessions ' and
Cam wanted some wild turkeys for his
rattle ranch near. the summit. The one
could easily grant the wish of the other
and an agreement was made to that end
in a few minutes. Cam has already com

and he expects the young turkevs will

When it became known in The Dalles
that Mr. Blaine had resigned the office
of secretary of E(ate and that ' the presi
dent had accepted his resignation
promptly, it created quite a stir in poll
tical circles. Opinion among the leading
republicans' seemed to be in favor of
Blaine, and the majority of the men ap
proached declared that his nomination
was noWassured, and that it meant' the
triumph of the republican party next
November by an immense majority.
Not all, however, were of this opinion
Here and there an old band was- found
who failed to summarize the situation
that way. Among the democrats the
news was everywhere received with de
light. All of them were jubilant about
it, and freely expressed the opinion that
Blaine would surely be nominated, and
as surely beaten. The Cbsokicle voices
the sentiment of reflective minds when
it adds that it is much easier to say
light things than it is to candidly weigh
the facts concerning Blaine, and at this
time in his nomination we see signs
which must inevitably be the crowning
achievment of his eventful life and am
bition. There are more people today in
the United States who want to vote
for James G. Blaine electors than
were ever counted for any man before.
and, with all due allowances, if he is the
nominee be will sweep the country.
FOURTH OF .JULY.
Proiipects for Having the Keat Celebra
tion for Yeara.
The executive committee of citizens
appointed to make arrangements for the
coming fourth of July celebration in
The Dalles, feel assured in saying that
thev believe the indications are favorable
for a grand celebration. There will be a
meeting of the committee tonight, at the
council chamber (old court house), to
hear reports of solicitations, etc. In
anticipation we may say these reports
are highly encouraging. Citizens gen
erally having been "very liberal, 'so far,
in subscribing to the fund."
Street sprinkling will be carried on all
day Sunday, and all night Sunday night,
and on the 4th (Monday), to keep down
the dust.
The fire department is anxious to turn
out in full force ; and as The Dalles now
has ' five efficient companies in the de
partment, including four well equipped
hose companies, plenty of fire plugs,
and an abundance of water, a firemens'
tournament can be got up which will be
quite creditable to the city. .
Bad Blood.
. -Impure or vitiated blood ia ulna
times oat of ten canted by some
form of constipation or indiges
tion that cloga op the ayitem,
when the blood naturally be
come impregnated with the ef
fete matter. TheoldSoraaparUlaa
attempt to reach this condition
by attacking the blood with the
drastic mineral " potash." The potash theory la
old and obsolete. Joy's Vegetable SarsapariUa la
modem, it goes to the scat of the trouble. B
arouses the liver, kidueva and bowels to health
ful action, and invigorates the circulation, and
the impurities are quickly carried off through
the natural channels.
Try it and note its delightful
action. Chat. Lee, at Beamish'
Third and Market Streets, 8. F.,
writes: - " I took it for vitiated
blood and while on the first bot-
itle became convinced ol its mer
its, for 1 could feel it was work
ing a change. It cleansed, puri
fied and braced me up generally,
and everything Is now working full and regula :"
