fendant in payment for labor. The de
fendant denied ever haying employed
the plaintiff, but that tbe latter had
thought of buying a share in tbe de
fendant's business, and in order to get
an insight into it had done more or less
labor thereto. Several witnesses were

last night in company with Major Mc
Neil and Superintendent O'Brien of the
O. R. & N. In conversation with a
prominent citizen of .The Dalles Major
Post talked freely regarding the locks and
made some interesting statements. It
will be necessary Major Post said to have
an additional appropriation for building
the walls of the locks higher before they
will be navigable at all times in the
year. Major Post said the- plans of the
locks were made originally for a twenty
foot stage, not expecting that boats
could reach the foot of the canal at a
higher one, but tbe performance of the
steamer Dalles City showed that the
locks could be reached at a much higher
stage. It is estimated that over $200,000
will be necessary to raise the walls to
the required height. This "increased
work will not in the least interfere with
the present work in progress and can be
crrried on while the canal is in active
operation.
