and. provisions.
The steamer Norma, , In command of
captain Baughman, passed northward
yesterday, under light draught, bound
for Pasco, and will return at once with
fuel and provisions to relieve the north
bank railroad camps. The appearance,
of the boat at thla time on the upper
river was a complete surprise to resi
dents. It Is pointed out that If navi
gation la a good thing for the railroad
camps It Is proof positive to the legis
latures' of Oregon, Washington and
Idaho that the river la the best nat
ural highway ofcommerce, and that It
should have a clear .chan.net to Ve
hatchee Immediately.- ' ' ' -
Colombia Always There. . . ,
It Is thus conclusively shown thatT
when railroads and . county roads ' are
Impassable by mud, ' blockadea of snow
or other obstruction, the Columbia river
S-fitM flows on and furnlahes a stabls
route qf transportation at .all seasons
of the year. With a clear channel from
the sea, to th head of navigation at
the Britiah Columbia Una. .this stream
Is destined to be a water route of ines
timable convenience and value to the
whole interior country tributary to ths
Columbia and Snake. i Z
The day Is not far distant when well-to-do
farmers and men conducting all
kinds of industries along tha river will
have their own launchea for bualness or
pleasure, and tha stream will be prac
tically a common highway. The
launches Tee He and Nora, of ' the
Wlthrow Transportation company, are
now ply iils; the upper river under direc
tion of Captains Babbe and Hamlin, and'
are getting all the work they can do.
'With the blockading of tha O. R. A
N. for a week past with snow. Ice and
landslides, and the Impassable roads., on
the nprth bank, the people all along the
upper river -have been entirely depend-'
ent upon boat service, and they hava
realised to some degree the true Value
of the river, j Even th railroad com-,
panics themselves have found the big
stream they parallel ah Indispensable
ally In transportation. ; Passengers,
mail and express- have been moved be
tween Portland and Tha Dalles by boat

We pause to honor,- pn his birthday, Abraham Lincoln,
the humanitarian, the man whom, if living today, would
be lifting his voice in deliverance of the American people
from their taskmasters, the trusts. He -would denounce
the shams of a tariff that allowed unwieldy fortunes XoJ
increase pile upon pile; he would nate tne metnocls by'
which the people's Government permits the throttling of
the people. . But, .above all, his cry would ring clear against
a trust that toys with the hunger of a Nation the trust's
own Nation his voice would thunder against the trust
that exacts its tax off the meat that goes to make the bodily
strength, of the growing child, and of the marf and the
woman who toil. , . -. V v ' '
When Lincoln's masterpieces of diction are orgotten
these simple, homely words will still remain : - "You can
fool all theeople a'part' of the time, or a part of the people
all. the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time."
