In her wav Isaline learned to care for Edward' Parkburst, but she, bad romantic fancies' about tbe - man- she should some day marry, and there was more truth than one- would have imagined in the. jesting. remark she had mude to Marcia about' her lover being a hero; ' :;V ff It was when returning ode evening' irom one oi these dancing sociables, under the escort of Mr. Parkhurst, that Isaline came. upon, to ber, the most startling and. alarming inci dent of ber life' ' '-f- To those td whom it is!-given td bare tbeir life path ' continually emooth, it . is : often, in , a .sadden and uu looked for manner that they encounter the first' seriors "event of their experience. .They ; were, .leisurely r approaching the home of the Kirklanda. . when suddenly before them it bright sheet ! of 'Xfliimef' 'appeared 1 for a moment aoove i toe tree ops, Dut a snort distance insadvanae. o ?

A beir Horror and consternation I was increased tenfold ns they alight-1 ed, Marcia waa not there. She must I be still, within the burninir bouse! I The others were perfectly frantic wun aiann at tneir own neipiessness. Twice bad the attempt been made to enter tbe building to ber assis tance, and each time bad tbey been beaten back by tbe beat and smoke, and now the thing seemed impossi ble; ...; .'' ; - t': Isaline gave, a sbiill scream of terror, and then, a beseeching glance in t ie , aurecuon 01 .x'arkiiurst. it was unnecessary; be was gone al ready. ' ' ' '. bue saw him enter tbe bouse, and then covered ber face with ber bands, and sank down helplessly. As Edward Parkhurst crossed tbe tbreshbold aod 'disappeared in tbe fast consuming building, all' held their breaths in fearful suspense. It seemed as tbougb be bad cast him self into tbe jaws of death. No one expected ever to see him in life again, yet they waited in strange ex pectancy while the moments, that beetned like hours, passed with tbeir eyes upou tbe open doorway where be was lust seen. How Parkhurst ever reached the second floor through tbe scorcbiug flames, and suffocating smoke that bad bufUed tbe others when tbey would have ascended the stairs, was always a mystery, but be did: but then a new difficulty was before bim. He knew not in wbat room be should find Marcia. He opened tbe doors one after tbe other which yielded to bis touch with fearful baste, and called ber name. He peered hastily into apart ments which were already ojen, but it seemtd iu vain, while bis strength wa fast sinking beneath tbo heated and oppressive atmosphere. At last bis La ad tooc Jed a ; door that wou!d not open to bis efforts. He exerted bis strength aud bunt i; in. Before bim niton the center of tbe Hour he found the object of bis search. She bad fainted. Strange to say, this apartment was almost untouched, though filled with a blinding and suffocating smoke. Edward Parkburst caught tbe insensible figure in bis arras, and stopping only long enough to wrap closely around ber a large blanket. turned to the door. , ihe entry was one sheet of Home, 1 lie paused to draw one long in j apiration, and then plunged into the abvss of ore. Tbe staircase was reached in safe ty, tbougb bis flesh was fearfully scorched in different places. : He rushed blindly down the stairway. and bad descended balf tbe stairs wben it broke" beneath bis weight. and be was precipitated into a chaos of blazing timbers and debru of every description from tbe rooms above. H struggled to his feet, still clinfrio? to the inanimate form in bis arms, and rushed madly for tbe place be supposed the door to be. ' It' was reached; but at this iustant bis strength failed bim. and be sank down insensible; Even as be fell, bis burden was caught from his arms by some of tber company who bad- been j watching breathlessly since bis entrance for bis reappear- ance. lie was also speeouy careai fof bV willing bands. - ; ' - In another moment the heavy tim - i w a m w - m I oera oi tue root ieu in wun a crasu, land ,. crushing through: the floor above, were buried in the ceimr. .i Ane results oi tne nreasiae irom 1 tne loss oi Drooerty. were noi oi - a 1 very serious nature: Edward Park J burst was incapacitated for a time from attending to bis business,' but bis recovery was speedy, i .. .. i- Marcia was discovered to have es caped quite scathLess.

The Democrat very properly speaks of this enterprise as one of the most important ever inaugurated in that county it might have said tbe most important ever inaugurated in tbe bUto. Ine inauguration oi enterprise of this character strikes at the very root of all the -difficulty, generally spoken of as "bard times."

' Ocnoco Valley, -j ' Wasco Co, Or., May ZJ, 73, Editor Vemocral: ', ( Ui I see you have a good many "freight monopoly" letters in your paper, and I shall send you another. ' This freight question' isthe farmers' question. Ever since the early settling ot Ore gon the freight monopoly" has been the unvarying and universal - theme of denunciation by the producers of this country. If the farmers ' wiiishcd to ship a few bushels of produce to mar ket they . complained that the profit was atl swallowed up by the freight. And it is not many years ago since it was cheaper for a farmer to take his eggs, hotter, liacon, . lard, etc, in bis wagon and ; roll out to Portland each fall and lay in what groceries he could haul, than to pay the exorbitant price charged lor- freights on the river. And why wasihia? Was it because u cost any more to carry ireignt on the Willamette and Columbia rivers than it did other rivers in other States? No; it was simply because a corpora tion held exclusive control of all freights that passed up and down these rivers, and was thus enabled to exact their enormous rales. , v iiliout op position, however, the people, might complain they were helpless. When tu railroad was iiuilding, the larmers thought it would bring relief, as it would be an opposition, but. the new transportation company - bought cut the old one aim left the people, as far as cheap freight , was concerned, in a worse, fix thau ever. -Aud the coun try, 'would have remained in this con dition in the clutches of a grasping, soulless monopoly, exacting a tithe of everything the producers had to sell but for one thing, and that is, the fii- mouH "Lock and Dam Swindle." It 'relieved, as it opened the river to cometition, (but it only relieves a portion of the country), the large scope of country drained by the. Wil lamette. ASd the money this same sw indle annually leaves in this scope of country goes a long way towards repudiating the idea, advanced by some that the btate made a bad in- j tment in building the locks. , In asmuch as every ton of lreight that formerly cost eight dollars, only costs one; . a saving of seven dollars on every ton titat passes np or down the river, and this seven dollars is saved by tho farmers.. To illustrate, say nn agent enters your valley to buy up grain for a firm in Europe. From the price there he deducts the freight to Astoria, (or wherever, ins ships load). the pilotage, the towage and freight on the river, and then a margin lor speculation, to arrive at ' the price he can pay here, so this ireight ail comes off the grain-raiser. ..Now,' if this swindle saves the farmer seven dollars a ton on his grain, is it not directly helping bim that much? And as it is for hia grairf so it is for his butter, eggs, bacon, ! lard, and poul try, in fact, everything be" has to sell, tending to raise the price as it lessens the cost of transporting it to market And as it is to what goes out ot ' the country, so it is in direct proportion to 'w lint comes in. Uoffee. sugar, salt, and everything the tanner has to buv shoitd be cheaper, as it costs less to get it here now than before, very little perhaps: nut seven aouars .per ton saved to the farmers for every ton of groceries they buy, and every ton of produce tliey sell, will amount to more in the run of a few years than would at first be supposed. This amount is saved to the larmers by simply' open ing the river to competitive transnor taiion. These Locks during their construction were a ouiu ve ui s guuu deal of bitter controversy: so much so that they entered largely into lha last oiuie election ,wciuinisi , u.u 11 measures, bursinco they are finished and their benefits practically demon strated: no thinking man but admits that they are an inestimable benefit to the farmers ot tne Willamette vaney, uy Pn me r verto competing lines oi transportation, aiius muster I fu.-tiiallv irnsiri hiiir n.r-iiiiKL PYni'Int.lnl , .

The Dalles is the head of navigation ort the Cdlum bi,1 ; it is second td none for natural water privileges, and it is destined to" be at some future- day a great manu facturing city It should be now but ills to ihe interest ol the O. S. N- Co. to keep capital from investing there, for they know- that capital interested in preparing any article, for market must demand cheap transportation. Capi tal would construct these locks at the Cascades; place competing - lines on the river mid farce cheap transporta tion. . It was for this reason that the Dalles Woolen Mills was killed the i'ear tha't one branch of industry there would create another, arid thus bring1 in capita?.: This - country needs those mills to Work up our wool crop, and this branch of industry would grow every year, as a large number of tho bet tiers are engaged in shep raising who have to ay the company fifteen dollars per ton . to. , transport - their wool to sorrto other ma. ket; then fit' teen dollars to bring thu cloth home again, instead of hating it worked np here. If capital was invested at tho Dalles it would soon be the largest mami&ct nring town in Oregon. . Another business the Dalles eboald be engaged in" is beef-packing. It is the best adapted of any place in Ore gon, but the beeves tlrt arc raised here are driven direct to Portland, and then packed there, ,. thus escaping the heavy fright on the river. Ihe at mosphere at ' the Dalies is better for packing and preserving meat than at Portland ; being light and dry, while at the latter place it is heavy and damp. Another advantage is. . the Dalles is 6ttuated in" the Heart 01 tbe stock raising country, and nothing but, the outrageous taiiff ort the river reveuu her , from monopolizing this rade. 1 . . The Dalles Is destined, as I have Said, to some day be . the place of con siderable importance; it is tho rail of none; the place -cart compete for the trade that goes there surrounded by a vast country that is dependent on" it for its trade. It only lacks capital to take this position it rightly owns, bat, so long as it is crippled by the present ruinous means of transportation, cap ital will seek an opening elsewhere. High rates for freight will continno omit we have a competing : line . of boats mt the river, and thai will not be until there is locks constructed at the Cascades. It would be money for Eastern Oregon to tax herself and bnihl the locks alorfe. ' The money would soon be payed back in cheap ened transportation We could save $12 per ton on all out freight ; $1.50 on beef cattle which we ship in' tho spring, besides it would open np our eouriuy. j ' Fcrbt Teeters.
