- Portland, Feb. It. 1001. To the Editor

Opening the draws between 1:10 and 1.

by closing the draws by the halt hour.
Instead of by the hour, that all objec

possible, for all steamers -to arrang

Again., nearlyoall the steamers could pshs

steamers which can run .under the
bridges It would be an easy matter to
mark on piles the exact stage of water
when they can run under without call

instance, at the dock where the f Ireboat
is moored a pile could ve marked to In
dicate wha the fireooat could run the

Q. Lathrop. Society looked forward to a
brilliant affair, when suddenly, on Feo

The reason given was that Mrs. Stan

either the department of the Interior oa
the department of justice, but in the

have not been made, presumably, as the
result of the decision made by the post
master-general not to make Oregon ap
pointments until a settlement of the lancH

that, there will be no further delay In
