We predict that if the work at the
Cascade locks is not taken from the
hands of the war department, let by
contract, and completed or in a fair way
to be so by June 1892, that Mr. Herman
will npt be able to succeed himself.
The matter has developed, into a polit
ical question iu Eastern Oregon, and
republicans and democrats will unite to
elect a congressman who will take hold
of this matter as it should have been
taken hold of long agp. There has
been a radical change in political ' sen
timent in the past six months, and
members of both old political parties
have concluded that . they have been
fed on political promises long enough.
When the next election comes around
somebody is going to get a . genuine
surprise. If he does not get a move on
himself Mr. Hermann is liable to receive
a portion of the shock.
There seems to be no doubt now but
that Senator Mitchell will succeed him
self. We recognize and appreciate the
distinguished senator's ability, but we
put it to our Eastern Oregon legislators
to make the gentlemen understand be
fore he is re-elected what is expected of
him. The best way to do this, is to de
mand a specific promise that he will
work presistently for the opening of the
Columbia river. We want no more
buncombe speeches, no more fulfilling
of the letter of this promise, but of its
spirit. The truth is, our representa
tives have not worked to accomplish
this object. They- have made some
pretty speeches in the Congressional
Record but that is all. Eastern Ore
gon owes it to herself to see that Senator
Mitchell makes some pretty strong
pledges before it passes the office over to
him.
The Dalles is deeply interested in hav
ing good roads through the county, and
should be prompt to meet all demands
on her for assisting in their construction
where the road funds, and the neighbor
hood are unable to build them. One of
the grievances set up by the citizens of
Sherman county, was the bad roads, and
this led to the creation of that county.
The same state of affairs exists in the
southeastern portion of the county now,
and to some extent in the Hood River
neighborhood. Good roads are necess
ary if we are to have a good trade; and
we should do all in our power to aid in
getting them. The petition to the
legislature for $10,000 for building a road
over Tygh mountain should be signed by
every citizen in the county.
The Indian question in Dakota does
not seem to be in as fair a state of pro
gress towards settlement as it was hoped.
It was thought that the summary man
ner in which Big Foot's and Two Strike's
band were dealt with, would have the
effect of bringing in the remaining hos
tiles. While it has brought in some,
there are yet about 500 hostiles in the
Bad Lands, who moved partly by fear,
and partly by the spirit that brings the
wild beast to bay, bid the government a
sullen but determined defiance. It is
probable that with these, a long and
bitter siege will be required before the
affair is ended.. One thing is pretty
well assured, and that is that the power
and spirit of the Sioux is broken, and
that their feet have trodden the war
path for the last time.
Our Board of Trade would do the cor
rect thing by passing a resolution asking
the Portland chamber of commerce, and
board of trade to join them in their
memorial to Congress asking that the
work at the Cascade locks be taken out
of the hands of the War Department
and put in charge of the Interior De
partment, with the proviso that the
work be finished by contract. Without
Portland's help nothing can be done.
This has been demonstrated to our sat
isfaction, and we are perfectly willing to
admit that for all political purposes
Portland is Oregon. A resolution from
these Portland business bodies, would
set .our representatives at Washington
at work with a vim.
The New Year's copy of the Oregonian
is the best that always excellent paper
ever issued. It would take a page of

contents, and hence we can only suggest
to tnose who would like to know how
Portland, and Oregon J eenerallv has
advanced in the past year, to buy a
copy. - ;

.However we may labor for our own

sometimes intrude upon the mind.

is to subsutate for the system of regular
table d'hote a restaurant style, in order
to accommodate more students. Every
visitor to Harvard has seen "the lions
feed," as the students express it, and
yet, I presume, few realize the amount
of food necessary to satisfy the appetites
of those lusty young fellows. Would
you see the figures? Here they stand as
given to me by one of the guardians of
this great dining hall:
Every day there are consumed 150 gal
lons of soup, 160 pounds of fish, 2,500
pounds of meat and poultry, 8 barrels of
flour, 15 bushels of potatoes, .150 pounds
of table butter, 800 pounds of sugar, 45
pounds of oatmeal. SO pounds of cracked
wheat, besides other articles in like pro
portion. The entire service is under the
charge of the stndents themselves, as
sisted by the faculty, and is run . on the
co-operative plan, the board being fur
nished at cost. That cost is never al
lowed to exceed $4 a week, and often
runs below $3.50. But now a movement
is on foot to make-it even lower, and the
outcome will revolutionize the gastro
nomic system at Harvard. Cor. New

Wild Flowers In the Fall.
What are our verjs earliest wild flow
ers, and how early have we a right to ex
pect spring flowers? Perhaps the reader
thinks this is not a timely question; but
it is, because the flowers are just coming
into blossom nowl Mr. Hatchings, one of
our well known botanists, once favored

this time on he finds them blooming in
the fells every month until May:, his
latest date is May 7.
He tells also of trailing arbutus gath
ered at this time of year in Williams
town. Both are spring flowers; and if
they bloom in November and December
then November and December are
counted among the spring months by
the hepatica and the arbutus. . The Lis

blooming spring flowers his Canada vio

licious little violets have been blooming

Tampering with Another Man's MaJL.
A story of how a well known ' sporting
man put his guardian to the expense of
$5,000 by an intended joke has just
leaked oat. . It seems that the guardian
had some business affairs that were be
ing contested in the courts and needed
special attention on account of the big
amoant at stake. The sport knew of
this, and in order to make himself popu
lar in his own eyes formed the idea of
intercepting the mail in connection with
the business affair. It chanced that
about this time a settlement was offered
by one of the persons on condition that
it should be accepted immediately. This
offer was the first thing taken, and for
the next week the contents of it were
published pretty thoroughly tn the city
At length, when things n eared a p-Hrn .

not prevent the outlay of $5,000. because

THE VINEYARD OF OREGON.
The country near The Dalles produces splendid
crops of cereals, and its fruits cannot be excelled. It
is the vineyard of Oregon, its grapes equalling Cali
fornia's best, and its other fruits, apples, pears,
prunes, cherries etc., are

The salmon fisheries are the finest on the Columbia
