MARY HILU Wash.. April 30. (Spe
cial.) Imagine the Ycon building in
Portland, or the City Hall or the
Courthouse lirted bodily 81 feet into
the air and maintained there without
Inconvenience or discomfort to its oc
cupants while the conventional activ
ities inside continued uninterrupted and
the world on the outside looked on with
manifest approval, without surprise.
Nothing like that ever happened to
the Ycon building or to the Courthouse
or City Hall.
L'ndlne In 'ew Territory.
Nothing like that ever happened to
the steamer L'ndlne until today. It
was a strange sensation for the famil
iar lower Columbia River vessel and
Us jolly crowd of 100 passengers.
The Undlno was locked through the
Celilo Canal this afternoon. She com
pleted her voyage through the locks at
7 o'clock tonight and bodly struck out
for the mouth of the Snake River
above. It was the first time that the
Undine ever had ventured above The
Ialles. Khe brought fresh evidence In
a concrete form of th econtinulty of
service that the new waterway pro
vides between the Upper Columbia and
its tributaries and the Lower Colum
bia. Lork Trip Tak.es Four Hours.
The 81-foot lift through the f our steel
and concrete locks was negotiated In
about four hours. Captain Thomas at
the wheel and Captain L. P. lloaford
on deck nonchalantly navigated the
vessel on her strange voyage with no
outward indication at all that this was
their initial trip through the canal.
The passengers were grouped on the
decks observing the nature of the con
struction work and noting how the
Federal engineers had labored to con
quer the barriers of nature in opening
this newest avenue of commerce be
tween the great Inland Kmplre and
Portland.
Riiycliteer Art. an Guide.
Frederick C. iichubert. the Army En
gineer, who has been in active charge
of the construction, followed, the ves
sel in his gasoline go-levil. advising
the officers of the nature of the chan
nel. The passage through the canal fol
lowed a morning' and early afternoon
f disappointing weather.
When the Undine reached The Dalles
at 10 o'clock this morning the wind
was blowing a steady gale. Captain
Hosford decided to take no chances. He
waited at The Dalles until after 2
o'clock, when comparative calm pre
vailed. Meanwhile, passengers and
crew were informaly entertained by
residents- of The Dalles, who told of
the preparations they are making for
an elaborate celebration next Wednes
day, when the canal and locks will be
dedicated formally.
Sir. Slnnott Joins Party.
N. J. Slnnott. Representative in Con
gress from the Second Oregon district,
joined the party at The Dalles and will
continue on board throughout the week
of festivities. The canal is in his dis
trict, and he alays has taken an active
interest in its development.
Miss Wilma Bonnell, of The Dalles,
selected by the people of that city to
your a cruet of Wasco water into the
canal at the christening exercises, also
came on board and will remain for the
trip to Lewiston. Ex-Mayor Wingate,
of The Dalles, also joined the party
there today.

SPECIAL BOAT CHARTERED

GOLDENDALE, Wash.. April 30.
(Special.) Plans for the part that
Goldendale and the Klickitat Valley
will take in the dedication of the Ce
lilo Canal and open-river celebration
at Big Eddy next Wednesday have
been completed. The Goldendale com
mittee declares that more interest has
been -aroused in the canal opening
than in any other public event since
the settlement of Klickitat County,
with its 100 miles of river front on the
Columbia.
Goldendale citizens have chartered
the steamer Joseph Kellogg, which
will leave Maryhill at noon May 5 and
take the Klickitat folk to Big Eddy,
returning to Maryhill In the evening.
In addition to the people who will
go to the celebration on the excursion
probably as many more will go to The
Dalles and Big Eddy.
The only regret of the Goldendale
committee is now that a whole day was
not given for the entertainment of the
people on the fleet coming down the
river from Lewiston, which will be at
Maryhill early May 5. Fifty automo
biles have been donated by Goldendale
people and farmers of the Valley to
bring the members of the upper river
excursion to Goldendale for a view of
the Klickitat Valley.
