A SINGLE PURPOSE. The Earnest and Indefatlguable Work of. Mitchell and Flak. . ; t- v A committee, composed of Messrs. N. .': ' Whealdon, Emile Schanno and B. F. Laughlin were delegated by The Dalles - Commercial Club to visit Senator Mit- cfiell and Capt. Fisk at Portland with a - - view to ascertaining the complete status of the locks improvement, both present ' ,! and prospective. The committee per , 'v'v formed this mission "yesterday Vind re-,-turn '. much"-. gratified, as much- by the .' courteous treatmenftbey received as to ascertain that both the senator and the engineer are as much in earnest over the speedy and triumphant conclusion of .-. this great water way to ' the needs of : commerce as any citizen in the land. r x. -The committee first called upon Sena tor Mitchell, when all went to Mr. Fisk's office.- Thenr they learned the J'ijgooi news that November 15th (on or before) has been set as the final date for the completion of the locks, involving the finishing pouches to the new con tract, found necessary to complete the middle lock by the- ravages of the high water of 1894. . They found that to con summate this very event Senator Mit chell bad stayed .in Washington six weeks longer than he designed,' so as to follow up the circumlocution of the con tract being transferred from the halls of congress to the war department, thence to the government engineers at Washington.".- Mr. Mitchell so brought to bear all of biB vast energy and influence, that aided by the! recommendation of Mr. Fisk, the engineer department had let the' final contract without going through the ordinary channels of adver tising, which would have delayed the completion of the. work another year. The Days have accepted this last-named contract and have obliged themselves to complete the wqrk by. November 15th. Nothing can be imagined that will delay the work longer than this date. The committee find it difficult to prop erly express their pleasure as to the at titude of the, gentlemen they went to confer with. They found them to; be possessed of a determination that could not obtain but upon a fixed and long continued purpose, and that determina tion would not be satisfied ehort of see ing the end of this long-drawn-out pro ject. Contemplating the impertinences, the unjust accusations and .ever ready suspicions that have sought our congress man as a target for many years past, the committee silently but unanimously agreed that if possible at this late day tbey should be set right before the peo- j pie of the commonwealth.'. Nothing can exceed the interest and activity displayed by Senator Mitchell to complete the locks, 'and he has an efficient and will ing colleague in the person of Engineer Fisk. - ' THE WATER COMMISSIONERS. They Itesolved Upon Having No More Delinquent Water Kentc. The regular meeting of the board of water commissioners was held at the' rooms yesterday afternoon. ' There were present Messrs.

' A motion was made that the superin tendent be instructed to collect all de linquent water rents due within the next 60 days, and not to allow any more de linquents. The motion was "carried.

MOFFETT, '"-.',' ' - - - - PORTLAND, OREGON Accidental Death.. The coroner's jury in the case of John Swenson, whose dead body was: found near the door of his residence at Cliflon a few days ago, yesterday returned a verdict of "accidental death.'? The ver? diet "is considered "a, singular . one, inasmuch as all. the circumstances seemed to' indicate1 that ' Swenson ' had been murdered. ," The -facts . that the gun with. which the' killing was done was found several feet away from where the body lay ; the forcing open of the door of Swenson's house, aud the testimony of Dr. Fulton that the dead man's xoat could not have been powder burned to such an extent unless the weapon, when discharged, was at least two feet distant, are. in the- opinion of many Astorians difficult to reconcile ' with the idea of "accidental death."s "' ' v ' The flret extensive shipment of kao lin from the big beds east of Ashland is now being made from Ashland. The Pa cific Pottery Company of Portland has contracted for the delivery, of 20 -tons of this kaolin at the depot at Ashland for shipment, to Portland and nee in the manufacture of pottery by the company. There are almost unlimited quantities of the kaolin rock on the Dead Indian mountain, about' J2 miles east of Ash laud, and should, this test of its value prove satisfactory, it may result In the steady use of it at Portland and the es tablishment of extensive pottery works in Ashland.
