NEARING
AT THE LOCKS
COMPLETION.
The opening of the Columbia river is
a matter of the utmost importance, not
only to Eastern Oregon, but to a large
portion of Idaho, whose products will
eventually reach the seaboard by the
aid of its noble current. Portland and
Astoria are also directly interested
this work, because they will be directly
benefited by it. It will prove indeed
large factor in the development ot the
entire Northwest, and as it assists in
opening and settling a territory 600
miles square and containing 250,1)00,000
acres of agricultural grazing and timber
lands, it becomes of national import
ance. The place to be most benefited
temporarily at least, is The Dalles, and
in consequence of this the newspapers
of this city have had more to say on the
subject than those of the balance of the
state. Ever since the first appropria
tion was made the people of the Inland
Empire have looked forward to the day
when the last stone would be laid and
the obstructions to navigation at the
Cascades would be of the paBt, for they
knew that this was a long step towards
the solution of the freight problems,
and felt that when once the canal is
opened and boats can run from Astoria
to The Dalles, it will speedily lead to
the removal or surmounting of the ob
stacles to navigation between this point
and Celilo, and so open the river and
make it available for carrying the vast
grain crops of Eastern Oregon and Wash
ington to the seaboard.
That our brethren of the press and the
people of the Inland Empire might
know just what progress had been made,
what condition the work was in, and
the probabilities as to the time when
the canal and locks would be completed.
a Chronicle reporter was detailed this
week to make a thorough investigation
into the matter. Upon stating the ob
ject of this visit to the contractors, J. G.
and I. N. Day .their bookkeeper was told
to furnieh any matter pertaining to his
department, and through him and from
the reports of Lieut. Taylor, the govern
ment engineer, under whose immediate
direction the work is done, the figures
given below were obtained. The first
appropriation was made, and others suc
ceeded as follows :
Juno 14, 1876 $ 90,000
June 18, 1878 150,000
March 13, 1879 200,000
June 14, 1880 100,000
March 3, 1881 100,000
August 2, 1882 265,000
Jnly5, 1884 150,000
August 5, 1886 . 187,500
August 11, 1888 300,000
September 19, 1890 435,000
Total $1,977,500
All of these appropriations, except a
portion of the laBt one, which were still
available lor the contract work, was ex
pended by the government engineers,
Major Jones having charge of the work
at first, followed by Captain Powell and
then by Major Post, who Btill has super
vision, for the government, of the work.
For many reasons the expenditure of the
money by the government engineers did
not produce results commensurate with
the amount of money expended. For
one reason, and perhaps the principal
one, the money was furnished in small
sums, and a large portion of it was ex
pended in protecting the work already
done and repairing damages after high
water. The people, crowing tired of
what seemed at least the waste of both
money and time, became clamorous for
a change, and that the work be let by
contract. Through the energetic action
of the Oregon delegation (and, by the
way, largely through Senator Dolph's
influence) this was finally done, and on
February 10, 1893, J. G. and'I. N. Day
took charge of the work. Since that
time the work has been prosecuted
steadily, until now the end can be seen.
The work would have been completed in
the time specified in the contract had it
not been for the unprecedented flood,
which as only prevented from sweep
ing the whole works away, by almost
superhuman efforts, and at great ex
pense. As it is, the completion of the
work will not be long delayed.
To give some idea of what has been
accomplished, we give a few figures:
When the contractors took charge of the
work there were 716 cubic yards of gran
ite to be cut, all but 136 of which are
now in place, and the balance is cut at
the quarries in California. Of basaltic
stone there were 5,688 cubic yards to be
cut, of which 1,825 remain ; of basaltic
facing stone but 300 cubic yards remain
to be cut out of 3,744, and 634 yards of
quarry stone remain to be cut, oat of
1,789. There are, in round numbers, re
maining to be cut, and including the
amounts just stated, 50,000 feet of basalt
and granite for the walls, 35,000 feet of
coping, 10,000 feet for the power house,
and 5,000 feet miscellaneous ; or 100,000
feet all together, which can be cut in
one hundred days.
Of the four gates required, three are
now on the grounds and ready to put to
gether. A train of fourteen cars arrived
Wednesday loaded with the sections of
one gate, and the other will be delivered
within a few weeks. These gates con
tain 2,239,000 pounds of steel. - Of the
216,000 pounds of steel plates, angles,
etc., 200,000 pounds are already in place,
or on hand. Of 43,900 pounds of steel
rods 35,000 pounds are in place, or on
hand, and 187,000 pounds of cast steel,
besides that enumerated, is in place.
There are other large amounts of steel,
such as plates, snubs, etc., which in the
aggregate run into the hundred thous
ands of pounds, but which space forbids
us to mention in detail..
There is considerable wall to be laid
yet, but for this a large portion of
the stone is cut, and as the foundations
are nearly all laid it can be put in place
very rapidly. The contract provides
that neither the upper or lower bulkhead
shall be removed until the gate next, to
each is in place, so that there is a break
in the continuity of the walls at each
bulkhead. The work on the outside of
them, however, is being pushed rapidly,
the excavations are completed for the
walls at each end, and the walls will be
completed before the next high water,
and all the gates will be in place by that
time. As soon as the summer rise is
gone the bulkheads will be removed, the
gaps in the walls connected and the
completion of the work will then require
only the dredging out of the channel
from the head and foot of the locks res
pectively, to deep water, and this will
be accomplished, if the contractors are
left unhampered, before 1895 gives place
to 1896.
The total amount of money appropri
ated for the completion of the locks
under the contract system was $1,239,653,
and an unexpended balance besides was
available from the appropriation made in
1890. The contractors say there
money enough, not to quite complete the
work, but sufficient to put the canal in
condition to be operated. Of this total
amount the contractors have earned and
been paid up to December 31, 1894,
$731,000, and this does not include the
32) per cent held back by the govern
ment on a large amount of material no
on hand.
Such briefly as we can state it, is the
condition of the work as shown by the
reports of Lieut. Taylor, showing the
amounts earned and the amount of work
yet to be done. The progress of the
work as noted by one who is at all
familiar with it, appears exceedingly
rapid since the contractors took charge
it, and the contrast between the ex
penditures under the contractors, and
by the government, needs no comment.
The work is so widely scattered that the
casual observer does not realize the ex
tent of it, and it takes repeated visits
before one begins to realize the enor
mous amount of earth that has been
moved, or the masses of stone and con
crete that have been put together. To
convey an idea of the latter we give the
estimates of masonry that will be in the
walls when completed 185,000 cubic
yards, or a mass of stone one yard high,
on yard wide and 106 miles long.
When Senator Dolph visited the locks
last fall, he expressed himself as highly
gratified with, the progress of the work
and remarked that "now he expected to
live to see the canal an accomplished
fact." The high water last June, be
sides causing unusual delay, caused also
considerable damage. The surging
waters rushed in an almost resistless
torrent over the made earth between the
canal and Powder House Point, sweep
ing everything movable before it. The
immense piles of stone, happily plated
so as to meet this torrent, alone saved
the works from entire destruction
Those were busy days for every body at
the Locks. ' Lieut. Taylor was absent on
leave at the time, but be had the right
man for the occasion in his place in the
person of Mr. William Morris, a young
civil engineer, a Portland boy, to whose
whose energy and foresight, backed by
money and muscle, the success of the
hght against the waters was largely due,
The water approached the top of the
bulkhead and every man that could find
a place to work on was employed. It
was a gallant fight, brain and muscle,
meeting the fierce onslaught of the mad
waters and repelling it. Nearly a thous
and barrels of cement were used in rais
ing and strengthening the bulkhead, be
sides cut stone, sacks of sand and every
thing available that would fill space or
hold back the tide. And when on the
6th of June the flood reached its highest
and stood still with the bulkhead yet a
foot or two above it, it was a proud day
for the gallant band who fought the un
chained elements, and conquered. It
was a great day for Eastern Oregon too,
though it did not. know it, for if that
fight had been lost, there would not be
enough of the work left to form a nucleus
for an appropriation. The work would
either have been delayed for years, or
abandoned and the latter would most
probably have occurred.
As it is after a thorough and close
study of the situation, we believe that
the contractors will be easily able to do
just what they say they will, and that is,
have the canal ready to permit the pas 8
age of boats by next New Years day,
and if the season is favorable some time
sooner than that.
HOWl VJC TREVITT BROKE THE
DEADLOCK.
Every old-timer in TheDalles, and
nearly every one in the state, knew Vic
Trevitt, for bewas the kind of a man
to make himself known. This trait in
his character was illustrated by bis se
lection of a burying ground on Mema
loose Island, twelve or 'fifteen miles be
low here, where his remains lie, and
where his simple monument, placed on
the, sharp basaltic point, that like the
prow of a steamer, fronts the channel,
invariably causes the' tourist to
learn somewhat of him who sleeps there.
Vic was a great joker, and it made
little difference to him at whose expense
he had a little sport, for if he could find
no one else to work off his euperabund
ance ot spirits on, he would put up a
job on himself.
When the legislature, met that -finally
elected Mr. Corbett to the senate, Vic
was in fcalem, and if we remember cor
rectly, was a member of the legislature.
vhen the fight came up between Cor
bett and Gibbs it soon reached that tire
some stage known as a deadlock. Vic
was a shifty fellow, and the matter bad
no sooner grown wearisome to him than
he began to study up some device that
would relieve the monotony of the situ
ation. Corbett lacked but two votes of
having enough, and it suggested itself to
Trevitt that as the democrats were in
the minority, and consequently out of
the fight, he might have a little fun ont J
of some of "his friends, the enemy."
He soon selected one of the country
members, opposed to Corbett, and be
gan his fine work on him. He told him,
in effect, that it was only a question of a
few day 8 until some of the opposition
would weaken ; that there was money
to be had for a vote or two; that he (the
member) was a poor man, and that he
might as well go home with $500 in his
pocket, having elected a good honest
man too, as to go home broke : that if
he did not get it, some other fellow
would. And so he followed this chain
of making the vote-selling seem not
much of a crime, until he got the mem
ber to say that he did need the money ;
that Corbett was a good man, and that
he knew of no reason why he should not
vote for him, always providing the $500
aforesaid warmed his pocket and acted
as a soporific on his conscience. Then
Vic proceeded to carry out the details of
the purchase. He told the member be
could not, of course, pay him any money,
nor could anyone else that he might
know, but that the man who paid the
money and the man who received it
should neither know the other. "At
exactly 11 o'clock tonight," said he,
"you go down in the alley back of Pi 's
wood-pile (B. was a saloon-keeper in
Salem at the time) and there in the dark
a man, whom you will not be able to
recognize, or he to recognize you, will
hand you the money. The member con
senting to this, Vic went to B -'s saloon
and, calling that getleman (who, by the
way, nad a very handsome wife) to one
tide, said to him : "You know, B., you
and I have been friends for a long time,
and I would not knewingly see you set
the worst of it, and I only want to give
you a hint. One of the members of the
legislature is trying to get your wife
away from you." "O, pshaw!" said B,
"That's all right," said Vic, "but if you
doubt me, go to the wood-pile in your
alley shortly before 11 o'clock tonight
and see what you will see." The result
was that at 11 o'clock that night the
member was on hand promptly, so was
B. The foimer got on the wood-pile
and waited : the latter behind it, and
got mad. Finally B. stepped ont and
the member stepped towards him, think
ing it was the man he was to meet.
"What are you doing here?" said B.,
and on getting no satisfactory answer to
this question (for how could the explan
ation be made), be fell on that same
member and beat him into a state ot insensibility.
When the roll was called in joint ses
sion next day,, one member who had
been "waylaid, beaten and robbed," did
not answer to bis name, and Corbett
getting one vote additional, was declared
elected. And thus it happened that Vic
Trevitt's disposition to play practical
jokes, broke the deadlock, defeated
Gibbs, and elected Corbett. It might
have been that the same result would
have been reached, but at the least the
settlement of the matter was precipi
tated.

ness dwindle, while tieir more sensible

There are many business men who
have not . only held their own
during the hard time9,, but have
really prospered. But they didn't
squeal; they rooted. In eood times or
bard times those who succeed never
squeal. Their time is so folly occupied
in rooting, that they can spare none of it
for squealing. It doesn't matter what
business one may be engaged in he will
always find a loss in squealing and profit
in rooting. In the long list of failures
annually recorded in this county are
found the squealers ; the rooters haven't
time to fail.
If business is not good, don't squeal,
but root; and if business is good, there
is still less reason for squealing and still
more cause for rooting. Grocers' Jour
nal of Commerce.
THE NEW FISH LAWS.
A dispatch from Tacoma yesterday
says:
"The joint fisheries committees of the
Oregon and Washington legislatures to
day considered and adopted a bill which
will be favorably reported to each legis
lature. It. closes the Columbia river
and tributary streams to fishermen eight
months per year, and grades fishermen's
license fees from $200 down to $2.50, ac
cording to the way the fish are caught."
This is a good law, as it will serve to
protect the fish, instead of, as at pres
ent aiding to exterminate them.
There is liable to be a hitch in nego
tiating a treaty with Japan on accoun
of an amendment to the proposed treaty
made in the senate. By the treaty as
proposed Japan is allowed to fix her own
tariffs, but by the senate amendment
the United States could cancel the
treaty on one year's notice, and insist
on fixing the tariff on all imports from
this country at 5 per cent ad valorem
A nation cf 40,000,000 people, that has
shown the spirit and enterprise that
Japan has, will not, and shoild not per
mit any other country to fix her tariffs,
This country would not submit to it
when it had only 5,000,000. However,
now that we have 70,000,000, it seems
that we are unable to fix a tariff to suit
ourselves, and this without outside in
terference. It will be hard enough for
Japan to regulate her tariff for herself,
and until we can fix our own satisfacto
rily, we should not add to our load by
monkeying with some other country's
The Chinese government seems to be
incapable of realizing the situation in
which it is placed, and imagines it can
hoodwink and play with the Japanese,
For some time it has been known that
China had sent peace commissioners to
Japan, ostensibly to arrange terms for
terminating, the war. It developed,
upon their credentials being shown to
the Japanese commissioners, that they
had no power to make any binding
agreement whatever. The result is that
instead of entering into negotiations the
Chinese- representatives have been sent
home by Japan, with instructions not to
come back unless they were ready and
empowered to bind their government to
any agreement that might be reached.
Concerning
The Baker City Democrat mentions
the fact that the Sumpter valley mills
are emptying so much sawdust in
Powder river that in order to get clear,
clean ice, those engaged in putting it up
have to go three miles above the city.
The Oregonian of the same date men
tions a vote of thanks to Fish Commis
sioner McGuire by the joint legislative
committees from this state and Wash
ington. As the putting of sawduBt in
the streams is against the law that Mr.
McGuire is supposed to enforce, we
opine that that vote of thanks was pre
mature. What the fish commissioner
needs is to have bis work dispensed
with.

'DONT SQUEAL, BUT ROOT."
The best text for a business sermon
that has been presented iu many a day
a sentence in the advertising matter
of a Minneapolis firm, which reads : "If
business is not good, don't squeal, but
root." It is illustrated by a porker who
has quite squealing and gone to rooting,
with apparently good success. It is not
flowery, sentimental or elegant text,
but, what is more to the point, it is
practical and suggestive.
The disposition to squeal instead of
root has never been so marked as during
the past eighteen months of financial
depression. Many men have expended
so much force squealing that they bad
none left for rooting. , They have spent
their days in grumbling about hard
times instead of making an effort to im-
