Some vandal or vandals last night
amused themselves by stealing all the
flags but one from in front of the U. S.
Land office. New ones were put up this
morning and it is to be hoped that these
-will be allowed to remain, at least until
after the celebration. The value of the
property taken, from a financial stand
point, was trifling, but both Mr. Moore
and Mr. Biggs are justly indignant at
the outrage. '

The thanks of the committee on ar
rangements are due to Lieut. Clark and
his detachment of men from Battery A,
O. N. G., who assisted so becomingly in
the celebration, and also to the Shaver
Transportation Co., who so graciously
furnished free transportation to the men
and officers of the Battery.
Ths result in Oregon of Tuesday's elec
tion, as far as the same is known, gives
McKiniey 45,442 and Bryan 43,050.
Harney, Malheur, Curry and Crook
counties are yet to bear from, and these,
while they may, and probably will, re
duce, McKtnley's present majority of
2,392 to 1,500, have not sufficient votes
to alter the' result. .
It any doubt that The Dalles is now a
seaport let them look at the big piles of
press office daily. Thesd fish are sent
East, dried and salted, and packed with
alternate layers of codfish and sent out
to market in blocks tinder the brand of
"boneless cod," so that among the ex
ports of this city may be classed as an
important one that of codfish.
DETAILS OF THE CELEBRATION
The
Boats Came Throneta, end Crowds
Were Tbere to See.
Thursday, Nov. 5th, 1896, will ever be
a red-letter day in the history of The
Dalles. The weather was simply per
fect, the sky cloudless, the air bracing,
with a suzzestion of frostiness that
coupled with the glad event sent the
blood tinkling through artery and vein
By 9 o'clock the boat was crowded al
most to the limit of her carrying ca
pacity, and on the wharf and .the beach
was on enthusiastic crowd'of 3,000 or
more cheering citiz.-ns, many of whom
later made the trio to tha Locks by
train. At 9 :30.the last pasr-eneer was on
board, and with wavine bats and hand
kerchiefs, ringing cheers and tooting
whistles, the good steamer Regulator
pulled out from the wharf and turned
her prow down stream, to, for the first
time, meet and greet her consort of the
lower river. Mt. Hood, covered with
new- fallen enow, seemed, as a passenger
remarked, "to have put on a clean shirt
and fixed up for the occasion." The
stirring music furnished by our mag
nificent band echoed.and re-echoed from
the wooded hills that guard and guide
Columbia's mighty tide. Down by
Memaloose, with streaming banners,
the engines drove the keen prow through
the blue waters. A thing a life arid
energy, in strange contrast witn the
silent sand-strewn island of the dead ; a
vivil comparison with the times when
those who now sleep silent and forgot
ten, were sole masters of the mighty
stream. Landings were made at Lyle,
when Mr. Whitcomb and others were
taken on board, at Hood River, where
Mayor L. N. Blowers, accompanied by
the city council. Hon. E. L. Smith and
others joined the crowd; at White
Salmon, at Underwood's, where Amos
Underwood,' a pioneer settler of Ska
mania county, and one who was at the
Locks at the time of the Indian mas
sacre there, came, the especially in
vited guest of the D. P. & A. N. Co. At
about 1 o'clock the Regulator reached
the Locks, nd her passengers soon
swelled the crowd already arrived from
Portland.
The Dalles City had left Portland at 7
o'clock, made seven landings and
reached the Locks at just noon, the best
time ever made on the run. The Sarah
Dixon had also arrived with a full com
plement of passengerp . from Portland,
Everything was in readiness by
o'clock, only the non-arrival of the
Harvest Queen, causing any delay. It
is estimated that fnlly 5.C00 people were
present after the Queen bad arrived
Abont 3 :30, to the tooting ofjwhistles.tbe
Dalles City took the post of honor
leading the way into the .lock, where
the Sadie B., the little steamer belong
ing to the Day Bros., awaited them. In
turn, the Sarah Dixon and Harvest
Qaeen moved in, the lower gates were
closed, the sluices opened, and in 15
minutes th lock was full, the hydraulic
engines swung the big upper gate open
and the Dalles City and Sarah Dixon,
the first boats from the lower river,
came through to float upon the azure
of the Upper Columbia. As the Dixon
pulled through a detail from Battery A,
O. N. G., fired a salute of twenty-one
guns. The Harvest Queen but came
through far enough to again greet the
waters of the Middle Columbia, where
her keel first struck the water, and then
turned and steamed back again.
Captain Fisk, who has charge of the
works, Civil Engineer Morris and
Messrs. J. G. and I. N. Day seemed to
take pride in answering a throng of
questions that were continuously pro
pounded, and by their courtesy, added
largely to the enjoyment of the occa
sion, s
At 4:30 the steamers pulled out for
The Dalles, and half an hoar later the
train followed, loaded with citizens of
the Inland Empire, who long ago had
despaired of seeing the sight they had
just witnessed. At 7 :45 the boats swept
round the point of rocks, and in a few
moments were lying side by side at the
D.'P. & A. ,N.' wharf. Everybody and
everybody else was there to see. Klick-
tat and Sherman counties had sent
large delegations, and Wasco was repre
sented by at least half her citizens.
The parade formed at 8:15 and headed
by the troop of mounted men, followed
the line of parade laid down for it.
Along the line of parade every house was
illuminated, and down Second street the
windows of ourj business houses were
beautifully decorated and aglow with
electric lights. For half a dozen blocks
the streets were aflame with the gleam
of colored lights that burned until the
last man- in the procession had passed.
Arriving at the Vogt Grand, the im
mense building was filled to its utmost
capacity before one-half, the vast assem
blage had entered. On the stage were
seated a number of prominent citizens
of Klickitat, Sherman and Wasco coun
ties, and without delay Mayor Menefee
ntroduced Hon. John Michell of this
city, who, after drawing a vivid picture
of the future of the Inland Empire, exi
tended in eloquent sentences a hearty
welcome to our visitors.
It had been expected that Senator
Mitchell, BInger Hermann, Governor
Lord or some other of Oregon's leading
citizens wonld be present to respond,
but-they were not here, for reasons best
known to themselves. ...
Fortunately Mr. N. B. Brooks, one of
Goldendale's brightest attorneys, was on
the stage, and though the task, was un
expected, when called upon by Mayor
Menefee be made such a response that
those who had the pleasure of hearing
him, were glad that Oregon's greatest,
were not there.
At the close of' Mr. Brooks' remarks,
Gov. Moody gave a brief history of the
locks from her inception, and then the
vast crowd adjourned to the Umatilla
House to partake of the more. solid re
freshments. Arrangements 'for seating
300 at the tables had been made, and
though the chairs .had ""been filled and
emptied three times, yet there were
other hundeeds to be fed.
At the Baldwin, in the meanwhile,
the grand ball was in progress, and only
as the morning dawned did the crowd
disperse. r -,
Thus passed the celebration of the
opening of the locks, and that within a
few years we may be again called" upon
to celebrate the removal of obstructions
to navigation above this city, is the
earnest and hearty wish of every citizen
of this section. .
AFTER NOTES OF THE CELEBRATION."
The immense plate glass windows of
A. M. Williams & Co. afford a splendid
opportunity for decorating, and last
night they were certainly things ot
beauty.
Pease & Mays had a handsome and
uniqai window ornament in toe Bhape
of a deep sea freighting Bteaoier. It was
the work of Ernest Jeusen, and was
really a work of art. .The other windows
were beautifully draped and decorated'.
Herbring's windows reflected the ex
cellent taste of whoever arranged the
bunting and other decorations.
The Umatilla House last night broke
the record for handling a large crowd,
over 900 being served. Only the weari
ness of the ladies who assisted in wait
ing on the guests, prevented as many
more being fed. "
Our citizens may well feel proud of the
way our business men decorated their
stores. Lack of space alone prevents,
individual mentign as there were many
beautiful things worthy of it.
We have substituted a brief histoty of
the locks in place of editorial. -The im
portance of the subject, as well as the
tired feeling of the editor, were the
causes therefor.
Some persons who wrote letters of re
gret at their inability to attend the cele
bration here yesterday evening, after
all came near being here in time. They
came up on the 10 :45 train last night.
G Company made a handsome addi
tion to the parade, and The boys of Bat
tery A provoked favorable comment on
their soldierly appearance.
Col. Patterson was among those who
sacrificed his desires to the good cause
and remained at home to assist in per
fecting the details of the evening's exer
cises. Among the pleasantest things of the
celebration were the songs by the Boyer
quartet of Portland, who favored the
crowd better at the 'locks and at the
Umatilla House with some beautiful
selections.
said one of them tO; our reporter, "and
we have lost. McKiniey is elected, he
will be president of the whole people,
mine as well as yours, and if he brings
the prospeiity you promise, I shall re
joice with -you, sud I hope I may.", ,
William Cederson Killed.' .
The funeral of William Cederson ' took
place this afternoon at 2 o'clock from
the undertaking rodms of Wm. Michell
Deceased was a member of the K. df P.
and Red men, and wa buried with the
simple, but imppressive, ceremonies of
those orders. . The floral tributes were
very beautiful, one. especially being con
enicuons among an tne rest. It was a
handsome shield, the tribute of the Red-
men and the artistic work of Mrs. Stub
ling. ...' . " ! ' .
Mr.. Cederson was killed Wednesday
evening about 6:15 by the derailing of
a freight train at Seufert'e cannery. v. It
seems he bad just finished supper and
was on his way to his lodging place,
when the accident occurred. He was
standing by the track waiting for the
train to-p"ull by, when for some cause
one of the cars jumped the- traek derail
ing and overturning four others. The
cars turned to the north of the track,
but a truck . jumped out on the south
side, striking Mr. Cederson fairly and
bearing him with it, forced, him against
a huge bowlder, killing him instantly.
The force of the blow rolled the huge
stone over, and the ' body was found
crushed under it. He was a good citi
zen, a steady . industrious man, and
leaves a orotner ana, we oelieve, a
nephew, besides many friends, to mourn
his sad fate. : .

Wednesday.
As the dispatches began to come in
last night, the crowd at the Umatilla
House began to increase and bv 8
o'clock the immense billard room was
filled to its utmost capacity, with crowd
ing jostling humanity. Almost from
the first bulletin the result was a fore
gone conclusion, yet hour after hour the
big crowd surged and crowded, and
cheered and shouted nntil the rafters
threo stories above would have echoed,
if it had not been for the intervening
floors.
Mr. N. J. Sinnott, in his splendid
voice, read the dispatches as they came,
and a thankless and difficult task it was
too, for with the first announcement the
Republican enthusiasm would bubble
over and it wonld take considerable time
and unlimited patience before quiet
wonld be restored, and then some fellow
would break loose again. The Demo
cratic enthusiasm was brief, its cheers
few and far between.
The returns from Montana, Nevada,
Utah, Kingsley and Dufur stirred them
up in turn, but the steady piling up of
overwhelming majorities in Illinois, In
diana and Ohio, knocked out all hopes
of .the Middle West and put an extin
guisher over the flame of Democratic
hope. In quick succession, followed
Miehigan, Wisconsin and Iowa, adding
their weight to that already crushing
the silver men into hopelessness. Min
nesota piled on the heap, North Dakota
followed, and to '.cap the pyramid "of
ponderosity of -Republican states., came
to crown the list and put the apex-on
the pyramid the hitherto Democratic
states of Kentucky, Delaware New
Jersey and Maryland. ,.
. By 3 o'clock most of the crowd had
become surfeited with news and left for
their homes, but some few remained to
greet the sunlight following the good
news across the continent from East to
West. The Democratic brethren were
most of them' in . bed by midnight, hav
ing lost interest 'in the results. They
accepted defeat gracefully, being - pretty
well used to it, "and this morning yon
couldn't teH from their smiling counte
nances but that they were on the -winning
side. "We have fought hard,"
