D. C. Ireland of the Moro Observer
prophesies that steamers will pass

The only way it can be done is for the

try to collect toll. .

success of Republican politics, as well as

essary, every other appointment. This

three . days, and there should be the
largest turnout of the season.
Mr. D. J. Cooper, who returned laBt
night from Salem, says that the Salem
telegram to the Oregonian concerning
bis incompetency was totally unwar
anted,and he defies any man to prove it.
"The trouble is," said Mr. Cooper, "that
it is almost a crime for any man outside
of Marion county to hold a job, on .ac
count of so many hungry men in that
county who are out of work." He com
plied with eery order given him except
the one given him to vote a certain
ticket at the primary. He handed the j
ticket back, with the statement that he
supposed there would be plenty of
tickets at the polls and he could make
his own selection.

The latest news received concerning
the opening of the upper river is very
encouraging. Both Umatilla and Walla

matter in earnest. It will be a matter
of no great surprise if work begins on
this within the next ten days.
A large number of tramps are congre

WAGON ROAD TRANSPORTATION
A Train of Wagons That "Will
Just Like the Cars.
Track
L. H. Campbell, a brother of the chief
engineer of the D. P. & A. N. Co., is in
the city, and has the model of a wagon
train, which promises to' inaugurate a
new era in the ! transportation business
on wagon roads. '' Six miniature warons,
trailed One behind another, kept track
as perfectly as does a train of cars on the
railroad. They were . circled in an S
shape around a chair and a cuspidor and
each wagon moved in the Identical track
made by its predecessor. This inven
tion was by Mr. Campbell, and in con
nection with a traction engine, he claims
that fifty tons of freight may be hauled
at a speed of five miles an hour over any
ordinary road.
-Mr. Campbell selects this field as the
proper one to establish a transportation
company, on account of tne immense
wool and wheat interests tributary to
The Dalles. An equipment capable of
hauling 100 tons a day would cost ap
proximate! v, he believes, $10,000. Three
men would be employed, and the total
daily expense would be far less than that
required to haul the same amount of
freight. Grades of one foot in twelve
can be accomplished easily.
The plan proposed by Mr. Campbell is
already employed in California. ' It
is in practical use for hauling salt from
the mine of the Crystal Salt Co. to
Dan by, a station on the Atlantic & Pa,
cific By., a distance of thirty miles.
Previous to the advent of the engine it
was impossible to get the salt to market,
except by team hauling. With the
traction engine and wagon train 33 to 38
tons are hauled at a trip. More could
be hauled if it were not for a number of
grades to ascend, some of which are 10
to 12 feet in a hundred.
Mr. Campbell went to Goldendale to
day to ascertain the feeling of the peo
ple, and if they enter into the plan with
anv degree of alacritv efforts will be
make to inaugurate a stock company,
with all the rights and privileges of any
other kind of a transportation company,
and with a capital stock of $10,000. Mr.
Campbell will return to The Dalles on
Saturday. ' -

Lecture at the Court House.
Prof. O. A. Phelps spoke to a good-
sized audience at the court house last
evening. He declared that the same
issue existed thirty years ago as now
the money issue ; that the tariff as
affecting the laboring man is of no in
terest one way or the other. In free
trade England and in protected. America
the laboring man has become poorer and
poorer. Money bears the same relation
to the nation as the blood to the body.
What the nation wants, contended the
speaker, is more blood in its veins, more
money. He then proceeded to demon
strate, in his own way, the advantages
of a larger use of silver. He has a pleas
ing style of delivery, and received re
spectful attention to the close. Tonight

of Labor, holds the floor.

but staggered around, as men will whose

he was hurt, and replied in the negative.

HAS CAPTURED PENDLETON.
The. La Grande Chronicle has the
following:
Evangelist Crittenton, while meeting
with rather a cold and reserved reception
at Pendleton, has persevered and at last
struck a responsive chord, it appears.

frosts injured the peaches and the rains

Columbia Fruit considerably thinned

some damage which the cherry aud early ,

The ballot which will be placed in the
bands of the voters at the coming elec
tion will have some points of difference
from the ballots of two years ago. The
names on the tickets in 1894 had the
names of the candidates of the various
partie-i pretty well mixed up. This
year, according to the form prescribed by
the luct legislature, the legislative candi
dates and the presiaential electors will
be grouped together, the names fit the
candidates of each party being segre
gated. There was also auother im
portant change, in that this year the
choice will be designated by making a
cross lie ween the number and the name
instead of crossing or cancelling the
name of the undesirable candidate, as
formerly.
