Within the next few months ihe .Business men of Portland and the upper 'river will have ullt and in operation two or three first-class steamboats, op erating In harmony with the steamer J. N. Teal, already on this run. The . four boat.. will run between Portland and points as far Inland as Lewiston and Priest Rapids, as fast as the river , channels are made navigable by the re moval of obstructions. , The state portage road can and will handle a vastly increased business, and it Is believed that by harvest time this fall the river lines will be in a position to carry the larger part of the whfat crop unless the railroad lines put in rates that will De low enough to secure a division of the business. ' Only In this way can the people of the Columbia river basin convince the government that the construction of the Oelllo canal is a good commercial In vestment for the public. The showing made by Mr. Teal at last evenlnga meeting was unique and forceful in illustrating the whoe trans portation problem of the northwest, and it- convinced those present lh-t the waterways system of the Columbia basin' is -absolutely essential to the de velopment of this section or the coun try. . Mr, Teal used a map showing the country as it was originally found by White men, with only the waterways as transportation lines. Then he brought out maps showing Oregon and Wash ington, the former with the great rail road developments that have come to that state in recent years, and the lat ter with the vast interior Oregon em pire still in Its prehistoric condition, without transportation lines. -- Central Orefoa Demands Sail. Referring to interior Oregon, Mr. Teal said It 1b today In the same Condition as to transportation that It was found by the first white men. In the face of this neglect targe numbers of farmers have Bone lnto-tlie interior of the state and begun farming and developing the country, and one of the largest bodies of grant lands in the state is now be ing opened in southern Oregon east or tbe Cascade mountains. All that re gion mvxrt'sooBf have railroads, and In terior Oreaon must be developed, by transportation. Perhaps the most' Important point made by the speakers Is that Portland must be loyal to its independent river steamer lines, and give them business to keep them going at a profit and1 in duce more steamboat operators to go into business. Since the railroads have in the past succeeded In making lndependen-t steam boat operation unprofitable on most of the large rivers of the country, and re ducing their usefulness' t a minimum, it Is up to the business men and reoi ') generally who produce and consume the country's products, tw patronize the In dependent river lines, for their opera tion is the salvation of the country (is to reasonableness of rail rates between seaport andnland regions. River Development Imperative. The wonderful growth of Portland was pointed out, and then it was asked why such development should come to this city, and how it could have been dojie without the water transportation lines, in view of the-fact that Oregon Is practically without railroad lines ex cepting those that follow the rtvers. The questions put In these forms, fol lowing the startling showing made by the maps, made every hearer wUthln the sound of the speaker's voice realise what river transportation means to the city of Portland. There were other speakers, and vari ous arguments along the lines of trans portation needs, all applying In one way or another to the absolute necessity of maintaining and developing river steam ers on the upper Columbia river and the Snake river, as developers of railroad transportation, and regulators of rail rates. , Around in Frisco.

For at midnight the doors of the saloons in the bustling peninsular city closed for ever or until the can rushing cohorts again get the ascendency in precincts 89, 90 and 91. Closing night was an occasion of great Joy for most of the populace, but not for the littlecoterle of saloonmen who gased witn sauntss lor the last time on crowded barrooms and heard the merry clink of glasses and the com fortable jingle of coins and the pleasant crackle of green ajid yellow paper as the good money of the realm passed in farewell to the white-clad diamond decorated dispenser of the rye. Funeral of Saloons. But aside from this little element of adness all was one Iouk happy tin tinnabulation. The church-going. Sabbath-keeping element of the town wus glad because the throngs on the streets were celebrating the funeral of the sa loons.. , All lovers of the malt and other spirit uous thirst killers were glad, because After 10:30 everything behind the bur went on the free list.

All the tramps on the north bank road from Pasoo down must "have heard of the closing movement, for there .w.ns . en- infl-ux' or ' fatigu d tVIUiams that caused the police force of three to wish ther were hydra like. Everybody didn't get drunk. Oh, no: but those who didn t were sorrv they weren't. It's such fun to be irreeponsl- i ble, especially In St. Johns, where If: ou hit a policeman the people go your all. And there were not a few who had this forbidden pleasure as the po lice force of St. Johns can testify. Additions to Polio Force. Chief Klack had to use a half a dozen gallant V(jlunteers to keepithe city from being razed by the joyous revelers. For nobody paid any attention to the antl flreworks ordinance. Everybody was ready for the Fourth of July, anvway. and they all practiced up last nlirht. President F. L.

He says that If the saloonmen are consoling them setves with the thought that they can still continue under cover to dispense th" intoxicants they were never more mistaken. The league will have men on the alert to head off the fifst at tempt of this kind, and. lb law .will be enforced to the extreme limit Hearing rumors that some of the St Johns saloons were opn -this morning Sneriffstevens telephoned the saloon men this morning to notify them that prohibition Is la force.

It i rriore than two centuries since he ceased to write, but when shall he cease to be read ? He grasped all things. He saw into the profoundest depths of human nature. Thought illimitable were at the point of his pen. His personages live and move as if they had just come from the hand of a creator. He was not a man of one idea, but part of the intense life of flesh and blood that seethed around him. Exuberant vitality of mind, body and soul was his supreme characteristic. Personally he was a handsome, well-, shaped man, of a "merry temperament, abounding in energy and overflowing with health. His favorite eating placttn London was the celebrated Falcon tavern. Here men like Ben Johnson, Marlowe, Ford, Fletcherf Herrick, Raleigh, etc, met him daily. These literary giants of the heroic Eliza bethan age were in the habit of discussing the burning topics of their time (which included the colonization of America) ever foaming tankards of beer. '.'
