Tub Dalles Oct 13
To thk Fl-itoh: In the O.-egonian of
Oct. 12th, containlnif an account of The
Dallet-Celilo portage railroad, that high
ly respectable journal seems to take it
for granted that where there is much
smoke there must of necessity be a lit
tle fire. Now, we who live close to the
tcine of supposed action, and hav, so to
speak, the whole fUld of activity (?,
under our eyes, have teen no 125 men,
or any other number of men at work on
the grading of the portal railroad, and
it it not likely that anybody ever will
tee them. This is about the lime of
the year when Paul Muhr always makes
little disturbance, or rather as much
disturbance as he ran to let people know
he ia not dead, and the reaton is this :
Every year for 20 yers an "open
river" scheme has been agitated bv the
farmers of Eastern Oregon and -Washington,
jus, after they have hauled and
marketed their crops. With tb leisure
which follows Ibis part of their annual
work, the rernemberancesof their sweat
ing, toiling, dusty work of hauling their
wheat still fresh upon Them, and tlie
heavy tribute to the railroad, which
they have paid, ttill vividly painful,
they take up Hie contemplation of a
scheme for opening the Columbia ; pub
lic meetings to memoraliza congress,
meetings for farmers' portage railroads,
etc., are evolved, and about thia time
Paul Mohr regularly appears upon the
scene with a handful of turveyors who
run lines, take a few rights of way
(where they cist nothing), writes news
paper articles discouraging government
projects (because that would make bis
ri ;htof way worthless) or encouraging
farmers to build a portage railroad of
thior own. mn that It,, mav nn.fi. I. tin tl.a !
burden he has been carrying so long.
Biess tne innocent Oregonian ! It should
not let itself get excited over these an
nual recurring demonstration?. We
here in The Dalles understand that this i
phenomena is strictly periodic il and oc-
C irs regularly and indeed contemporari
ly witii harvest time. Indeed, we should I
miss It very much if it did not happen
regularly every year. We have gotten I
used to it, and besides for a few dart It !
adds something to the receipts of the
hotels and the attaching saloons.
The only respect ia which this spurt
differs from others is in the fact that
this year a new company has been or
ganized, and that it has made a new
location, differing very much from the
location of the old portage railroad com
pany, and parelleiing it between the
b g eddy and Celilo. Tnose who are
familiar with the old portage railroad
scheme wiil remember that its eastern
terminus was at Columbus and its west
ern terminus at Crates Point, and tbatj
it was 22 miles long. Instead of 10 miles, j
which is the length of the recently tur- j
veyed line.
A member of the surveying corps.
when asked recently why the new loca
tion was made answered that be under
stood that the old Columbia River Rail
road A Navigation Company was so com
plicated with debts and litigation that
the new company could not afford to
either wait for an adi jstrnent of its a'-
fairs nor afford to pay what they asked
for their right of way, and he claims
that thu new company has nothing lo

A SALEM WEDDING.
Koir II. Klnnotl i.rihla Cltr.Taka In
to Himself a VTir.
"Lucky is the bride the tun shine
upon" end never was there a fairer
October day than yesterday high noon,
when Mies Augusta Gertrude Lownsdale,
laughter of Mrs. Gertrude Lownsdale,
became the bride of Mr. Roger Bra
Sinnott, of The Dalles.
Promptly at 12 o'clock Mrs. II. P. Me
Nary, sister of the bride, struck the
familiar strains of Mendelssohn' wed
ding march, and all thoughts were opon
nothing but the wedding party. First
came the two maids of honor, Miss Ethel
Williams, of Portland, and Miss Eliza
beth Foolke, of California, attired exact
ly alike in dainty rose-pink organdie
and carrying large thower bouquets of
La France roses. Next came the prayer
book bearer, Master Philip Patterson,
who lent quite a great deal to the beauty
of the march ; and theu the bride, who
was certainly a "picture fair to see."
In all her past loveliness sha has never
exceeded the brilliancy of this occasion
for Mies Lownsdale was always un
questionably "the belle of our town"
and all regret that she had to be given
up. Her gown was of the sheerest,
most exquisite, an 1 beautiiu! white
organdie, long veil pinned with fragrant

without doubt a-) lovely a conception as
the poets rave about.
Mr. Sinnott was attended by his
brother, Mr. N. J. Smnoti.
The main hall of the spacious resi
dence of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Gray,
where the reception was given, was one
mass of bright red and green berries,
synonymous of the autumn season. The
drawing rooms were banked with palms,
tweet peas, chrysanthemums and beauti
ful roses ; and the dining room for the
bridal party was gorgeous in its array of
every conceivable variety of begonias
and dainty ferns and tmi'.ax.
I 1 tie table where tne uriaal pair were
seated was artistic illy decorated; in
the center wag an immense bowl of
cut glass filled with Li France roses;
suspended from the chandelier and tied
to each end of the table was a lover'
knot of while mosseline interlaced with
greens, and from every available spot
the very choicest tropics were in pro
fusion. The other guests were royally
served in groups at tetc-a-lete table,
where salads, ices, and the bride's cakes
were In full evidence.
The intended travelers were then
hastened to prepare for the wedding
trip, and as the bride ascended to the
first landing on the stairs she waved
her bouquet in the air three times, then
threw it directly into Mies Beulah Pat
terson's grasp.
Mr. and Mrs. Sinnott were escorted to
their cai riage from the front entrance of
the residence by all the guests, and nntii
thev were whirled away all stood long
ingly wishing them everv blessing for
their future happiness. Salem States
