In Japanese eyes tha sovereign' most
striking departure from old customs
was conneeted with the empress. He
married In February, -1869, Princess
Hanu, daughter of Prince Ichljo, , and
by degrees tha nation learned to place
tne imperial iaoy on pedestal of rev
erent love, seeing that, her Ufa waa one
long round of, deeds of duty or 'charity,
performed with unostentatious grace: and
unflagging assiduity. But at th aam
time the old fashioned habit 'of mascu

etiquette of other ages, might have been

Nevertheless, on the day when, the

from the standpoint of state benefit.
We can say nothing now as to the loca

Secretary of State Olcott gave some
reminiscences of his early life In Ore
gon City, and Joined with other mem
bers of the board in promising that the
canal board will protect the state's
interests, moving as fast aa possible
toward the beginning of construction. -
Major Mclndoe gave a resume of the
legislation respecting , the locks. lie
said tne report or tne engineer upon
hlch he made his recommendation for
the east side route was based on the
showing that It would cost less on the
cost of construction and rights of way
than to purchase the old locks and re
build them. Besides this. It .would be
necessary to close the river for two
or three years while the old locks are
being rebuilt.
State Canal Board.
The report of the engineers and the
recommendation have been forwarded
to the secretary of war. Major Mclndoe
explained, and are now . awaiting his
action. . He said that In the meantime
the state canal board will submit its
views, and he believed there will be no.
difficulty in reaching an agreement.
Whether any change will be made in J
recommendation zoiiowing conference
with the state officials or- in contempla
tion of the large amount of damages
claimed by property owners on the east
side Major Mclndoe offered no opinion.
He said it would hot be proper to state
this. If he had made up his mind, and as
yet he has not decided for himself.
W. T. Buchanan, publicity manager
for the Portland Railway, Light & Pow
er company, who accompanied the party,
assured the governor that the offer of
the company to sell the old locks for
1600,000 is not arbitrary, but that the
company will be willing to have the
price fixed by farther negotiation and
arjoralsement. The comnany wants to
dispose of the locks, he said, which each
year produce a deficit, Maut la vitally
interested In the conservation - of Its
water power rights. . - . - . '. -
. Tout Estimates.
As the, situation- now stands, the gov
ernment engineers have submitted four
estimates of 'cos;' For the recommend
ed location, the inside location on the
east-aide, the estimated cost for con
struction and. rights of way is f 825,00
For th outside route on the eefct side
the estimate is 1774.000. For the Im
