Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 22. -Trains are
now moving, prettv retrularly nnd the
strike mav be considered at an end.with
no point gained. The switchmen in the
Buffalo yarde are undoubtedly defeated
They know it themselves, but still cling
to the conviction that something will yet
happen. Their faith is in their leaders
They hope the firemen may coine out,
and yet the mass of thom, while hoping
havo little knowledge of the progress of
official diplomacy nnd they are dumbly
waiting an issue. The question now is:
Will the great majority of these strikers
realize the trnesituation? When they real
ize the fact that it is the higher priced
labor dictating the strikes, and com
pelling the lowest priced laborer to bear
the burden, they will be infinitely better
off. Tho managers of it must now find
themselves called upon to answer for the
crime committed. The "belief that
Grand Master Sweeny had cause to order
out the switchmen and hoped they
would win," will not suffice before a
competent court in the state of New
York. This strike has been defeated,
primarily because the strikers have been
manipulated by secret associations, -as
despotic, tyrannical and oppressive as
was ever exercised by any aristocracy in
history. It has been stated that the
whole number of men personally inter
ested in the question of wages in this
strike was about in the proportion of ten
to one thousand,' and that the leaders
were the highest priced laborers, the ar
istocracy of the association.
Futile Efforts to I. rum Anything Con
rerninir the I'laiis of Vaul F. Mohr.
People in the Inland Empire are get
ting anxiouB about the movements of
Paul F. Mohr. It was positively stated,
when he purchased the wrecked cargo of
the Abercorn, that the railway iron
would be used to lay a track from the
headof.Celilo rapids to North Dalles,
thus forming a portage which should be
the key to unlock the bottled np Inland
Empire,
Before the convention of the Water
ways association, held in Portland in
April 1800, this eame portage was prom
ised, and was pnbliclv proclaimed to be
come the nucleus about which millionsof
money was to gather (Portland with $5,
000,000, wasn't in it?) and immediately
nmkfl the Columbia an open river, free
for all craft, from its very sources to the
sea.
Portland put up about $3,000 after
wards. The Dalles done the rest; to
open the river from this city to Astoria,
freo for all ; which it now is, by using
the state portage at the cascadee.
?ext, this portage figured very con
soicuouslv in the senate last spring, to
assist in defeating Senator JJolph's pro'
iectfor a boat railway since then it
has lulled down to a state of quiescence,
compared to which death seems a rous
ing demonstration. In the present con
dition of affairs, therefore, it is not the
least surprising that people of the In
land Empire should be making anxious
inquiry as to what has become of the
project of Mr. Paul F. Mohr? One of

Njsw Yobk, Aug. 22. A romatic mar
riage, which has stirred up New York's
400, came to light Saturday. Tt is that
of Peter Gilsey, jr., one of tho heirs of
the Gilsey estate to Caroline Dyer, a
young French girl, who has for the great
er part of the eighteen years of her ex
istence, worked for her daily bread. The
facts as learned from Mrs. Dver the
mother of the young women, who works
in a restaurant on Fourth street, sound
like the incidents in a sensational novel.
For some time Miss "Dyer has been em
ployed at Hamper's candy store at No.
9 Wooster street. Among the young
men who went therefor a daily allowance
of candy and a sight of the pretty clerk
was young Gilsey. The moro he saw of
her the greater his admiration became.
His affection was reciprocated, and
Caroline, or Lena, as she was better
known, told him, the story of her hard
life. Mr. Gilsay in return only said he
could support her comfortably, and with
out knowing of his social position or
wealth she agreed to become his wife.
The mothers consent was obtained, and
on Tuesday last they were privateiy mar
ried by Alderman Whittfield Vancott.
The alderman says that the couple was
the handsomest he ever married. The
newly married pair have taken rooms in
Clinton place. Gilseys friends take the
marriage as a matter of course. They
say he is 27 years of age nnd entitled to do
as ne pleases.

A Washington special mentions that
Oregon's Henry Clay, Hon. Einger Her
mnnn; appeared personally before the
acting secretary of war, Gen. Grant, on
Saturday, seeking to expedite depart
ment action as to tho contracting of
work at the cascade locks on the Colum
bia. Mr. Grant assured ' Mr. Hermann
that the department itself is doing all
that is possible, and allowing no un
necessary time to elapse f that Maj.
Handbnry, being the officer in charge,
has been directed to submit specifica
tions npon the contract which is to be
let. So many advantages are taken by
contractors in every way that the chief
of engineers is determined that when a
contract is entered into for the great
work, it will be done as congress haB
directed. It must be understood that
no lenience will be shown, and that
every particle of work mast bo com
pleted in the exact time and order spec
ified in the contract, and the contract
shall be so catefnlly prepared that no
advantage shall be had by legal quib

dark for a successful accomplishment
that he has concluded to move on. Bv

gon statutes prohibiting saloons or the
sale of liquors within two miles of any
place where government works were
prosecuted? If this be so, what author
ity has our county court to issue licences
at this point? County courts have done
some strange things in the past.
For instance, some years ago, h county
judge and his commissioners accepted
from the O. R. & N. Co., a patch which
they carelessly put on The Dalles and
Sandy wagon road at Shell Bock and
subsequently, without "any apparent
legal or moral reason, abandoned the
whole road from Hood River to Eagle
creek, in this county, while the. road
from Hood River to a short distance
west of Viento and from Shell Rock to
Cascado Locks, was -as good a buggy
road as there is in the county.
The same county conrt couid appro?
priate funds for bridges and a road bc
tween Hood River and your city, but
could not do less than abandon five or
six miles of a connecting link, which
wonldgive a valuable outlet to those!
along this road and those of the western
boundary of the county, a right and
privilege which they claim and deserve
respect for. There is and always has
been a mystery attending this move by
our county conrt.

It Pays Hnudsomely to Take Care of
The Straw.

Wapisitia, Aug. -20. Tho small grain
crop is now being threshed and how
many farmers have arranged to take
care of the 6traw in a way that will en
able them to utilize it to the best advan
tage? The usual rush of the thteshing
season, coining as it does so closely fol
lowing tho harvest, it is not strange
that there is neglect of the straw crop
where not previously provided for.
Stack yards cannot be provided for all
the grain where large-crops are raised, a
portion must of necessity be stacked at
convenient points about the field. This
does not in the least excuse the piling
out and spreading out of the straw as it
comes from the machine. Have a --good
hand to snperjatend the building of the
Straw stack, an addition, of one Or iwd
hands at most will enable you to put
your straw tip in nice shape, so it will
keep until eaten down by the cattle or
sheep. A good big roomy straw shed for
cattle is an excellont thing in the feed
lots or in convenient places on the farm
to be used in case of need. In construct
ing the frame work for these sheds; be
careful to have them made of strong
material and securely put together so
there will be . no liability of breaking
down under the weight of straw that
may be put on them. Build tho straw
stackaround and over the shed, make it
so it will protect stock all winter, and
you havo a value at once in your straw
crop that will justify double tho expense
of its cost. Straw may be liberally used
for the bedding of stock, if it is put up
in stack in a well preserved condition.
This is one of tho much neglected uses
of straw. All the farm animals should
sleep on straw during the cold winter
season, nnd plenty of it. Their beds
should be made ovor frequently and
clean straw added. The fertalizin
materials about the yards and etablea
may thus bo put into a shape to be
saved, and In this yon have one of the
most valuable adjuncts to tho farm but

When The Chronicle, announcing
the sales of res) estate by the city re
cently, asserted that this was tho
time to "get in before the boom" and
secure some Dalles real estate, we knew
what we were talking about. That prop
erty will never again be so cheap in tho
Dalles as it is now, may be inforred from
another transaction today.
Forty-three days ago, Dr. Siddall pur
chased the Beezley property, corner of
Fourth and Laugblin streets for $800.00.
It was considered an evidence of his
faith in Tho Dalles.
Today he has sold that very property
to Henry Kuck for $1,200 .00, an advance-
of $400.00 in less than a month . and
half.

This is the first transaction of the kind
for twenty years.
It is business not boom.
