HISTORY OF
WORK.
The election is over, and the re
sult justifies the reliance of the Re
publican party leaders in the gocd
sense of the common people.- The
- free-coinage-of-silver question is set
tled, and ' the United -States main
tains her position as a gold standard
country, side by side with all the
other great nations of the earth.
Business men this morning, for the
first time in months, know "where
they are at" and upon what basis to
calculate their business ventures.
Capital that had limorousTy with
drawn itself, is again ready to step
forth, confident of protection at the
hands of the people, and to join
hands with Labor in again starting
the stagnant blood through the arter
ies and veins of industry. We re
joice that the election is , over, that
the financial question is tettled, and
that it is settled right
" Whatever else Mark Hanna may
be, he is certainly a good campaign
manager, . and has all the elements
that go to make up good generalship.
Compared to Jones, the Democratic
manager, he is as Mt Hood to a mole
hill. His sources of information
from every state have been well
chosen, and his estimates have
proven most wonderfully tiOrrect.
On the other hand Jones has been
deceived badly, and has in turn de
ceived his followers."- He has claimed
states as doubtful that are simply
-avalanches of Republicanism, and he
has called . Democratic states sure
that Hanna, claiming as .his own
gathered in as he said he would and
hung their political scalps to the Re
publican belt.. Hanna as a prophet
has proved to be all right, and Jones
all wrong.
Hood River's apple crop is lighter
this year than ever before, due. to
. late frosts in part, and in part to
other unusual winter conditions.
The crop is also far ielow average in
condition, being somewhat warmer.
This 'latter condition is accounted
for by the unusually warm nights,
which caused the codlin moth to fly,
and to carelessness in spraying. It
is noticed that the orchards further-
The' Telegram gives ih- following
brief history of the building of the
locks at the Cascades. The state
ments are in the main correct, though
Governor Moody, in his statement
yesterday evening gives the credit
of the first suggestion of the locks to
General Grant:
The proposition to build a canal
around the obstructions in the Col
umbia liver at the Cascades was first
proposed by Colonel Micbierm 1875
The following year the government
made the first appropiiition of $90,
000 for the commencement of work
on that imnoltant undertaking. ' The
first plans of the engineers contem
plated the construction of a timber
crib breakwater structure, 7200 feet
long, to extend from the lower en
trance of the canal for a distance of
5000 feet! The lift to the upper
river through the canal was to be
overcome by two locks each 250 feet
by 4G feet in size and the guard
gates of each to be 54 feet high.
At the time the first appropriation
was made by congress, Colonel, then
Major Wilson, of the United States
engineers, was in charge of govern
tnent works in this district, with
headquarters at Portland. Colonel
Wilson proposed ' that, the locks be
placed on the Oregon side of the
river, and after a careful examina
tion by a board of engineers in 1877
Colonel Wilson's proposition was ap
proved, the boaid recommending,
however, that, the locks be increased
to 300 feet in length by 50 feet in
- - x
width. " ,
This board estimated the total
cost of overcoming the obstructions
at the Cascade! to be $2,554,000,
The same year oh the recommenda
tion of Colonel Wilson the width fjf
the locks was increased from 50 to
70 feet.
In the fallof 1878 Colonel Wilson
was succeeded by Colonel Gillespie,
and the active work of constructing
the canal at the cascades was begun,
the first contractors being Messrs.-
Ball & Piatt of New York, who for
$340,000 undertook to excavate both
for the lojcks and a certain part of
the prism.
In 1879 another board of engi
neers was convened," which recora
mended an apprc priation of $100,000
be made for improving the river
channel below the locks, which was
done.
In October, 1881, Captain C. F.
Powell was assigned as superintend
ing engineer in charge of the work,
he being succeeded in 1888 by Major
Handbury. In his first annual re
port Major Handbury invited atten
tion to the meager appropriations
that had been made for the work
since its inception, the entire sum for
the twelve years being but $1,142,
500, or an average of $95,000 per
year. During this year Major Hand
bury succeeded in having the con
struction of the gates changed from
wood. to steel. By 1890 there had
been appropriated to the construction
of the Cascade locks $1,880,000, and
it was estimated. by Major Hand
bury that an additional $1,745,000
would be necessary to complete the
work.
In 1892 the river and harbor act
appropriated $326,250 - for the locks
and canal and a provision was made
for the awarding of a contract for the
completion of the entire work. In
the .'atter part of the year this con
tract was awarded to Messrs. J. G,
and I. N. Day of San Franciscy, they
agreeing to complete the canal and
locks according to specifications for
$1,521,265.
Since that time" Contractor Day,
although perforce having their time
occupied at the Cascades in the
greater measure, have proved them
selves valuable adjuncts to Portland's
prosperity and staunch citizens of
Oregon. Both in public find private
life, aside from the greai work they
are now bringing to completion,
Messrs. Day .have achieved promin
ence ; in this state, and, ' in fact,
through the immensity of the work
undertaken by them, throughout the
union. -
' Their contract provides for fur
nishing all the material of every kind
and description required in the con
struction of the canal and all the
labor necessary for carrying the work
to a successful completion as per tne
phfns submitted by the engineer. - ' '
November 15, 1893, Major James
C. Post was ordered to the Pacific.
coast to succeed Major Handbury as
engineer in charge of the locks con
struction, arriving barely in time to
familiarize himself with " the work
and save the lesult of twenty years'
labor with its attendant expenditures
of money from destructidn. through
the tremendous ad unprecedented

From the Courier-Herald, Saginaw, Mich.
' In the long list of diseases that human
flesh is heir to, none perhaps are more pain
ful than inflanfmatory rheumatism and its
attendant ills. ' The sufferer lies racked by
pains thU seem unbearable and many times
even death itself would bo a relief. Tor
tured by pains that seem beyond human
skill to drive away or even alleviate, the
wretched sufferer tosses on a bed of pain,
hoping that something may be found to re
lease him from the thralls of that dreaded
majady. - A case of this cluu-acter recently
came under the observation of a representa-
.ITU l.l.J 1 .11 Ilv" II .... V Ml
chanced to be-in the thriving, little town of
Ulaawin, the county seat ot Uladwin
countv. Michigan. While there he heard
of the case ot Mrs. William Flynn, who
had been a victim of inflammatory rheu
matism in its severest form and had endured
untold sufferings from it. It had drawn her
hands out of shape until they resembled
bird's claws. She had fallen away in flesh
until she was almost a living skeleton and
her sufferings were sq great and constant
that she became a victim of sleeplessness.
All of these troubles contrived to make her
condition most alarming and she became the
victim or Hallucinations, seeing terrible
things and fancied dancers everywhere.
. Then, at a time when the most serious
consequences were, threatened, she was in
duced to try a remarkable remedy that had
cured one of her friends and after a short
time a happy termination of her terrible
illness was assured. Asked in regard to
ner trouble ana its treatment JUrs. flynn
responaea as xouows: iwo years ago 1
had a terrible attack of inflammatory rheu
matism that prostrated me utterly so that I
was entirely helpless. The trouble
a very violent form and drew my hands out
of all shape. It also affected my lower
limbs, which became badly swollen and
helpless. I had had attacks of rheumatism
several times hefore but none so violent as
this. I had constant pains in the joints and
violent headaches. There were also times
' when I had chills very severe and these
were followed by periods of violent per
spiration that was exceedingly profuse and
"weakened my constitution. This condition
kept on for about three months. ,
" One day a lady friend who had used Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People with
ereat benefit, met my little eirl on the street
and on learning of my condition advised mol
to get some Jfinlc fills and take tnem. I
got a box and began to use them according
to directions. After two or three doses they
acted very clearly on my nervousness. I
had not been able to sleep for a long time
and this was beginning to tell on me very
severely. I had fallen away in flesh until I
was very thin and weak and my hands were
hardly more than skin and bone. As I said
after two or three doses of Pink Pills they
began to quiet my nervousness, and I could
sleep. I continued to gain so that in a tew
months I was again able to be up and do ray
own work. Thetrheumatism has nearly left
me. I am free from the pains in the head
and a4 night I can get healthful and refresh
ing sleep. These pills have done a great
deal of good forme and I cannot speak too
highly of them. There are also other cases
around me where they have been used and
they have acted beneficially as they did in
my own case. I cannot say too much for
them and say these few words of testimony
in order that others who are suffering as I
was, may try them and get relief."
Eecently, while a representative of th
Courier-Herald was at tha thriving village
of Gladwin, Gladwin County, he heard of a
case of this nature and that it had yielded' to
a short treatment with a celebrated remedy,
the name of which has become a household
word in every hamlet, village and city in the
land. The victim of this unusually severe
case of nervous trouble was Eonsom Sim
mons, an old and well-known resident of the
village. His nervous condition had grown
worse and worse, until the slightest unusual
noise, or even the opening of a door would
almost drive him frantic. Skilled physi
cians had studied over his case and pre
scribed the usual remedies, but their efforts
were unavailing, and the patient continued

to get worse.
Fir
inall v.one day in reading a newsnaner.he
encountered an item in regard to a case some
what similar to his own. and read with great
interest of the means by which it had been
cured. He at once decided to try the rem
edy, and did so. As to the results of its use,
we can not do better than quote Mr. Sinj,
nions' own words. When asked to narrate
his experience, he spoke as follows: -
" As the result of a long, continued illness
I became the victim of nervous debility in
its most violent form about four years ago.
It kept growing worse and worse until I had
become so nervous that the least noise around
the house, or the entrance of anyone into the
house, would throw me into a violent nerv
ous paroxysm. I tried medicines for the
trouble, but was not relieved. Finally, I
read in a Detroit, .Michigan paper about a
enre of a trouble somewhat similar to mine,
effected by a medicine known as Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills, and decided to give these
pills a trial. After I had taken a box of the'
pills, my nervousness began to be relieved,
and after taking ten boxes of Pink Pills I was
so well that I discontinued their use, and
have not had to use them or anything for
nervous troubles for two years past. In my
case they acted quickly and effectually on
my nervous troubles, and they proved an
efficient and reliable remedy. Since using
them I have recommended them to others.
and they have used them with great benefit.'
Mrs. Simmons corroborated her husband's
statements,and was earnest in her good words
for the remarkable remedy that had been the '
means of affording her husband much needed
rest, and had freed him from the violent
nervous disability that had made his life
miserable. Many cases similar to this ont
of Mr. Simmons' have been noted, wherein
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have been used
with eminently satisfactory and speedy re
sults, and liability to frequent and excessive
nervous excitement has been readily relieved .
and the shattered nerves built up and re
stored to a normal, healthy condition. J
Dr. Williams' Pink Pill contain, in a
condensed form, all the elements necessary
to give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are an
unfailing specific for such diseases as loco,
motor ataxia, partial paralysis. St. Vitas'
