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 THE CASCADE LOCKS. Jim Hill and Maj. HaMlinry Visit tie Scenes of FicMnsss.: . ' RATHER DISCOURAGING OUTLOOK. People Discuss the Whys for Abandon ing the State Road."

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 bles: Today the Oregonian states that Maj Handbnry has returned to Portland from cascade locks, it says: " mere is no one at work there now except Lieuten ant Taylor and a force of draughtsmen, who are working on the plans and speci fications of all the work necessary to complete the locks. As these are for the use of contractors who wish to bid for the entire work, drawings "of every de tail must be made, and it will also be necessary for bidders to visit the locks and see what has been done and what is breathe a silent prayer that Boreas may temper the sunshine and shade with a cooling draught of the elixir of comfort Quiet reigns supreme here, and as a consequence two saloons have closed their doors to fate, for the waut of patronage, as there seems to be an exit going on from tho60 parts toother fields, where there is moro of ; the wBerewith in eight. ' Jim Hill, not the Great Northern Jim ; who has tried to dispense "forty rod" in several places in your city in the past few years, came down here a couple of weeks ago for the purpose of opening out in hnsiness, bnt the outlook is so dark for a successful accomplishment that he has concluded to move on. Bv the way, is there not a law in our Ore' 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. Mr. J. M. Waugh, father of Mrs. Jus tin of this city, died last Friday after a short illness, aged 76 years. . His re mains were buried in the cemetery at this place. Thero is a quiet but determined "move on foot being worked for a division of the county down this way which is en gineered by leaders who aro not politic' ians but by those .who feel that The Dalles is for itself, at tho expense of the outsiders who get what inadvertantly falls by the wayside. The couplet of Bret Harte, paraphrased. "That for ways that are dark and tricks that are plain, Wasco county courts are pecul iar," fits the point admirably.

It was due to the strikers as well as the militia and the owners of property in question, that we gave ample protection to all ; for the strikers are not the ones from whom serious trouble is feared; that comes from the lawless element, the hangers-on who invariably gather at such places, and find pleasure . in stirring up a strike and causing wreck and ruin.

There will be no strike of the firemen alone." . Briefly, thon, tho strike ii it comes must be one involving the above organizations, and the replies to Sweeney will be, in brief, that no iso Iated case will call a strike, but if the time comes when labor must assert itself and the other allied orders will come ont, Sargent is willing to place his men in the same column. It Pays Hnudsomely to Take Care of The Straw. Sjl Ciill to TlIK ClIROKlCLK. ' ' - 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 fit. D. D. .
