THAT OLIVE BRANCH.
Is Tammany at Peace Wiffi The Cleye
: land Following?
WESTERNERS DOUBT THE RETORTS.
-Cleveland Must Have New York That's
A FactjSure Enough But
TAMHA.VV MI'ST HAVE CLEVELAND.
Uefore There is Any Surrender Hence
The Purity And Security Will be
Menaced.
Chicago, Sept. 19. The recent an
nouncement ia today very strongly ques
tioned that Tammany has accepted the
- olive branch and is now at peace with
the Cleveland following. This may be
true or it may be doubted. Until it is
.disclosed that the demands of Tammany
have been met, people at the west will
look with distrust upon any protestations
of friendship that may be made. To
win, according to the general belief, Mr.
Cleveland must have New York. To
have New York he must have Tammany.
The democracy has thus been brought
face to face with this dilemma, the de
feat of its nominee or concessions to
Tammany. Western democrats for the
most part favor that which they believe
to be right, and oppose what they be
lieve to be wroDg. They are keenly
alive to the fact that Tammany practices
are a menace to the purity and security
of republican institutions. Loved for
the enemies he made, Mr. Cleveland
may become distrusted for the enemies
he conciliates. Yet the general belief
in the integrity of Mr. Cleveland and of
his close political advisers will do much
to overcome the doubt arising as to the
terms of the conciliation of Tammany.
GOLD IN THIS CASCADES.
Toledo I'eople Make KIch Discoveries
on the Green River.
t rfiin uie Duuuay uregomtin. j
It remained for a party of Toledo peo
pie to make the first successful explora
tion of the quartz-bearing ledges that
for years have been known to exist on
the western slope of the Cascade range.
between the Columbia river, and the
northern boundary of Washington
Prospectors have been out from time to
time, and although all satisfied them
selves of the existence of rich mineral
deposits in the vicinity of Mount St
Helens and further up on the range
owing to the many deprivations and
Hardships tney were subjected to, no
one ever carried bis researches to a sue
ceseful conclusion. The greatest obsta-
cle was in the distance of the mineral
belt from any settlement. About two
years ago a party of four Toledo people
consisting of Ed Burbee, P. Koontz
Bobert Young and J. Witt, made the
first discoveries of gold on Green river
the north branch of Toutle river,
tributary of the Cowlitz.
Although they kept their discoveries
quiet for a while, others in some way
learned of them, and on the 10th of last
month a party of sixteen Toledoites, un
der the leadership of W. W. O'Connor.
equipped with the necessary tools for
catting oat a trail started out to fee
what they could find. After three
weeks of hard work thev rpjinlifiil wlmt
ia known as Green river forks, the outer
edge of the mineral belt. This point
they named Camp Separation, and after
laying out a townsite for a "queen city,
the party separated. Some returned to
Toledo, while W. W. O'Connor, Geo. A
Miller, J. H. Spangler, Joe Schurand,
R. C. Lange, Gus. Anderson, W.Seifert,
W. A. Wittel and two ranchers pushed
out into the mountains in search of
gold.
Those who have already returned
from this trip claim they are well repaid
ior their efforts. They say they have
located no less than three dozen ledges,
" some of which ehow up better than
most, oi .tne renowned tjoioraao leads.
Among the ores they found are gold, sil
ver, lead, copper, quicksilver and iron
The party who have just returned have
organized the Toledo Mining company.
and as soon as they rest up they intend
to return to their discoveries to open

GOV. FLOWER TELLS THIS.

iA FislilDK Storr Which Take the

Cake for Solemn Truth.

From the Kew York Times.
Governor Flower brought home . from
the North Woods last week a brand
new fish story, as follows": .
"In order to make the events of my
storv oossible. I must eo back three
vears before my visit to Dannemora,
An old guide hooked a salmon in a lake,
the name of which I can't remember,
three years ago. In the boat with him
were a man and his young wife. The
latter persisted in carrying a parasol
When the guide got the salmon in the
boat the woman became frightened, and
with"her parasol jabbed one of the fish's
eyes out. : '
"As she did so, the fish' became un
hooked, and was overboard in a twink
ling. The guide made a spring for the
fisb, but the unlucky parasol ferrule
penetrated his eye and destroyed its
sight. The guide wore a glas9 eye after
ward, and when I went fishing Tuesday
this same guide took me" to the lake
spoken of. By some accident the guide
lost his glass ye overboard. When I
turned my gaze from -him he had two
eyes, when I returned it lie had Dut one.
The guide bewailed his lot, and I prom
lsed to send him a bushel of glass eves
if he would only take me" where we
could get some big fish.
"Wednesday we went back to the
lake. My line jerked and my pole bent
almost double. The guide cast his eye
on niv pole and line and exclaimed:
' Something big, gov'n'r.' I knew that
from the way the object at the other end
acted. Together we hauled the fish I
should say fishes out. One was a
large salmon and the other a good-sized
trout. The trout was hanging to the
eye of the salmon with his mouth. The
guide pulled the fishes apart, and with
au exclamation of joy said : 'There's my
eye.'
"The eye that he dropped overboard
the day before was in the head of the
salmon, which was the same fish that
the guide lost three years ago after the
young woman had poked its eye out.
The trout was just in the act of putting
the ovi! in the salmon when the latter
was caught.
"Funny coincidence, wasn't it," and
the governor bent over his work again
while the correspondent went out into
the freal), cool air.

Some Peculiar Ideas of Oregon Enter
tained by Intending-Visitors.
The delegation of delegates via U. P.
R. to the Sovereign Grand lodge of Odd
Fellows, which is to meet in Portland
on Monday passed The Dalles this morn
ing. A committee from fortland re
ceived them at The Dalles and the trip
will be finished on the Columbia river
by steamer from Bonneville. Some of
the eastern delegates have funny ideas
of the wild and woolly west. Secretary
Gambell is flooded with letters from all
over the country asking for information,
wise and otherwise, concerning nearly
every subject imaginable. Some of
these letters are curious documents.
One man writes to know whether it
would be advisable to take a small card
printing job press and a few fonts of
type to accomodate the visitors by sup
plying them with cards.- It has been
suggested that it would be an enter
taining feature for the eastern brethern
and fully in accordance with' the ex-
pectations of many of them, judging
from their letters, if the Indian tribes
of the Yakima and neighboring reserva
tions were taken to Portland and
turned loose, as a sample of every day
street life in back-woods Oregon.
Speikgpield, 111., " Sept. 19. At the
meeting of the state board of equaliza
tion this morning Mr. Craske arose and
stated that he was not ready to present
to the board his resolution which was
read last week instructing the committee
on capital stock to assess the Pullman
Palace car company on the basis of $43,
688,750, but he proceeded at some length
to explain his position to the board.
Mr. Craske said : "The question as to
what assessment should be placed upon
the Pullman Palace car company by
this board ts simply a question of figures
The company in its returns shows that
it has a capital stock of $30,000,000, and
from ' the market - reports and actual
sales made on Sew York stock ex.'
change, this 6tock was worth a price per
share which makes the total capital
stock of the-.company last month $59,
600,000. ,
It has been usual in the past to give
the company credit for property. . owned
by them outside the limits of tbe state.
There is certainly no provision in the
law for this custom. I admit that there
is a reason, perhaps, why this should be
done, but when this company says in
answer to a resolution offered by the
capital-stock committee,' and which
was passed unanimously by this board,
tnat it coma not give tne amounts as
sessed against it in other states, terri
ritories, etc., it cannot blame this board
for failing to give it credit. C
"The Pullman company claims pro
perty to tne value ot $ias,vii,Z4Z tnat is
assessable outside of the state, but does
not say that it is assessed. Allowing
this to be true and that the par value of
the stock on May 2d was $132 share, a
there would still remain property to the
value of $19,058,656 in this state subject
to assessment by this board, and on a
basis of 25 per cent this would amount
to $4,G96,891. From this the company
would be entitled to a deduction of tbe
assessment a made by the local assessor,
which is, according to their report , 647,-
.789, leaving as the capital-stock assess
ment by this board $4,249,103." -

In conformity with the proclamation
of President Harrison,, designating
October 21st, 1892, as Columbns Day,
Mr. Troy Shelley, superintendent .of
public schools for Wasco county Jias in
terested himself in the effort to bring
about a uniform observation of the day
in this county, and in a note to The
Chronicle savs :
A beautiful badge to be worn in tbe
public school review, has been designed
and prepared, and will be presented
free to every child in the county attend
ing school. "
If any school is not in session, the
school clerk is urged to undertake the
ceieDration, eitner personally or by ap
pointing some one in the district to at
tend to it.
Mr. I. C. Nickelsen of The Dalles, will
distribute the badges, and they will be
given on the following terms only :
first. .acn teacner must certify to
Mr. Nickelsen or mvself the names of
all children attending their school, -
Second. If the school is not in ses
sion, the clerk, or the person ai pointed.
will certify to names of all children who
attended last session.
Third. A reoresentative from each
family must call at Mr. Nickelsen's store
where he will receive the badges free.-
Lt us hope tnat every district in the
county will take part in this instructive
and entertainiug celebration of our
nation. Such an opportunity will never
occur to any of us again.
. 1KOY SHELLY, SChOOl feupt.
.Oregonian. A few days ago Governor
Pattison, of Pennsylvania, in an address
at the fair jrqunds in Crawford county,
in that state, called the conduct of the
Homestead strikers "rebellious against
the government." "It was not a question
of government. ' There can be no sue-
ceeful labor capital where there is no
government. There are no laws suffi
cient in any land to settle all differences.
We do not want more legislation, but
we want more allegiance to existing laws,
When I visited that section there was no
labor in it that was idle. There was no
capital except that which was idle,
Therefore, when tbe question of capital
aud labor was. presented to me, I answer
ed, 'why, there is no capital or labor
here to discuss.' What we want more
than capital or labor is government."
This, from the democratic governor of
Pennsylvania, should be a sermon for
democratic editors throughout the land,
At the risk of being accused of harp
ing on one string, .we reproduce the
following summary in the history of
canal work at Sault Ste. Marie, as fur
nished by the San Francisco Chronicle
of the 11th inst. :
- Tbe desirability of securing a passage
for large vessels around the rapids at
Sault Ste. Marie was understood at an
early day, for in 1837 the governor of
tbe new state of Michigan called the
attention of tbe state legislature to the
subject of constructing a canal for this
purpose. Three years later congress, in
the face of strong' opposition and after
much discussion, ordered a survey
made, which was carried but. under the
direction of Captain Augustus Canfield
of the topographical engineers, United
States army. In 1852 a tract of 750,000
acres of public land was granted to the
state of Michigan, from the proceeds of
which the canal was to be built. . For
the amount thus derived a private com
pany contracted with the state to build
the canal. Ground was broken for the
undertaking on June 4th, 1853. The
work was completed on May 21st, 1865,
at an entire cost of $999,802.46. and on
June 18th of the same year the first boat
was locKea tnrougn tne canal.
ine original canal, now greatlv en
larged, was 5,400 feet long, 100 feet wide
and twelve feet deep, with revetted
stone banks of a slope of one vertical to
two Horizontal.
Between the years 1870 and 18S1 the
waterway was widened and. deenened
ano a new iocs, tne largest snip-canal
lock in the world, was built, bringing up
tne total cost ot tbe canal to $Z,loU,UU0
me canal is 7.00U teet lone, with
depth of water of sixteen feet and
variable width, its least span being 108
feet at the movable dam. . A revetment
of timber pier work about four feet
above mean water level protects passing
vessels -against injury from the rocky
sides of the canal. The chamber of its
lock is 515 feet long. or. including the
fuaro gates placed at each end, 717 feet,
t is eighty feet wide, narrowed to sixty
teet at tne gates, with a depth of 39W.
feet and a capacity of 1,500,000 cubic
leet. . ...
The words "Speedy Canal Construc
tion" at the head of this article have no
application to the work of canal con
struction Rt-the cascades of the Colum
bia, which is the contrary of speedy tand
when the facts are made apparent the
comparison becomes odious. :-
The cascade canal is but a few feet
over a quarter of a mile in length. The
canal at Sault Ste. Marie is 200 feet more
than a mile in length.
The Sault Ste. Marie canal was begun
on the 4th of June, 1853, and the first
vessel was locked through on the 18th
of June, 1855, two years and fourteen
days after the ground was broken ; at a
cost of $999,802.46. ' .
The Cascade canal was begun 18 years
ago ; there has been in round numbers
about $1,500,000 already expended, and
the outlook for completion of the work
is still as gioomy as it was 15 years ago.
Believing that there should be no ces
sation in the demand for an open river,
and that the voice for it should be not
only earnest but united, "is the only
apology we have for recurring to the
subject at every opportune moment. '
It was considered wise by the people
to take this matter of the Cascade canal
construction out of the hands of the
board of engineers, and the very best evi
dence of the prudence of this move may
be learned in the facts as above stated
respecting the Sault Ste. Marie work,
and the work of private parties who con
structed the canal on the Willamette at
Oregon city.
But now that congress has so provided
that' the cascade canal be finished by
private contract, how much longer must
the people of the Inland Empire wait?
The Benefits of Smoke.
The smoky season is now on the
Oregon country, and particularly in the
lower countries is the pall of smoke
heavy and impenetrable. The Herald
looks on the bright eide of this suffio
cating season and says, it means that in
all sections . of the county the farmer-
pioneer is busy at his work of subduing
the giant forests and clearing the land
to lit for the plow and harrow. A-few
more years of work such as has charac
terized the farmers of the county during
the present season . and - where the
primal forest now stands rich and fer
tile farms will gladden the view and
render the - soil attractive as a home
center.
