"A Celebrated Case" drew a fair house

improvement over the former presenta

to make a fair criticism of the play, and
of course cannot mention the different
characters. Mr. Hampshire as the
Irishman was a good piece of work both
evenings, and Mr. Lonsdale showed
great improvement. The club is far

We are tired, tired of waiting for what

for baseball, and the reception commit

the sidewalks looking for those that did
not appear. The expense money was
placed on deposit we repaired to the
baseball ground at 1 o'clock p. m. with
, shouldered clubs ready to do battle with
the Stars of The Dalles but we did not
find them. For some unaccountable
reason they did not make their appear

Resolutions by the Farmers
To the Honorable tlie Oregon- Delegation in'
the Congress of the United States
We whose names are appended hereto.
chairman and secretary of a meeting of
the farmers of Eastern Oregon, and
representing The Eastern Oregon Co
operative association of the Patrons of
Husbandry (limited) in the name and
Denau or saia larmers 01 Eastern Oregon
would most respectfullv memorialize
you, our representatives at the national
capital as follows :
First. The experience of the present
season has amply demonstrated by im
mense piles of grain (the farmers coinl
at every station along the single line of
railway that traverses this section.
awaiting shipment and virtuallv locking
up millions of dollars as weli as" for an
indefinite time depriving the farmer of
his hard earned scanty gains, that some
measure of immediate relief must be de
vised or the science of agriculture will be
come in the basin of the Columbia, one
of the lost arts.
Second. We believe that as a tem
porary measure of relief by far the best
and cheapest solution of the problem is
a portage rail way around the obstruc
tions to navigation in the Columbia
between Dalles Citv and Celilo known as
The Dalles of the Columbia. A bill for
a similar railway around the Cascades to
afford temporary- relief at that noint
appropriating $tS0,000 of state funds has
already passed the state senate and ere
this memorial reaches vou. will undoubt
edly by the votes of the members of the
lower house and the signature of the
governor of this commonwealth, have
become a law.
Third. As a permanent and final
measure, we unhesitatingly recommend
a canal with locks at the point above
mentioned, (The Dalles of the Columbia)
firmly believing that no other method
is as cheap or as beneficial in the end.
VV e have briefly set forth above, the
urgent needs of at least a third of the
inhabitants of the great state which has
honored you by entrusting its interests
to your care. It is no common memorial
idly asking for some fancied toy, which
greets you, but rather the urgent in
sistent appeal of men who have
been your friends when needed,
and who now in turn appeal to you for
the absolutely necessaiy aid which com
mon justice and sound public policy
dictate.
We have asked for bread, will vou
kindly see that we do not receive a
stone? M. W. Fheeman,
Wm. Holper, Chairman.
Sec. Farmers' Convention.
The Dalles, Or., Jan. 28, 1891.
The Farmers Heard From.
The Dalles, Oregon., Jan. 17. 1891.
Whereas The Dalles is the shinning
and distributing point on the Columbia
river for over 150,000 tons of freight an
nually, at the estimated cost for the 88
miles between said city and Portland of
over $900,000.
Whereas, in addition to such char
ges on the products of the farm and
range, by the company having the
inonoioly of the Columbia river pass, as
threaten in the near future to deslrov
the agricultural interests of Eastern Or
egon and Washington, the said company
has, during the past session, proved its,
utter in capacity to move in proper sea
son, the increasing products of said sec
tion, to the great loss of the producting
classes.
Whereas, the obstructions of the
Cascades of the Columbia, which we des
pair of seeing removed sooner than
from ten to twenty years, render it im
possible for a private or public river
transportation company to subsist in
competition with a powerful and wealthy
corporations, unless the cost of transfer
shall be lower than it is possible to be
under any practical system, more expen
sive than a portage railroad.
Whereas, we believe that such a
portage railroad in connection with a
line of boats on the middle Columbia
would save to the farmers and producers
many times its cost to the state annually,
and
Whereas, we believe that without
some such relief in the immediate future
the interests of the producers of, said
section will be greatly imperiled, if not
fatally ruined, now therefore, be it
Resolved, that we the members of the
Eastern Oregon Co-operative Associa
tion, very earnestly urge the Honorable
the Legislative assembly of the state of
Oregon, to support and pass the bill
now before the senate of said assembly
for the sum of $60,000 for the building
and equipment of a portage railroad at
the Cascades of the Columbia and be it.
Further resolved that a copy of this
resolution be sent to the senators and
representatives of Wasco Gilliam and
Sherman counties.
Adopted by a unanimous vote this 27th
day of January 1891.

PERItOUS SLEEP WALKING.

. Early one morning recently the south
side was the scene of a remarkable case
of somnambulism. Officer David Smith
left the Twenty-eighth ward station at
about 2 o'clock, and was proceeding
homeward along Carson street, when, at
the Fifteenth street corner, he was star
tled by what at first appeared to be an
apparition from another world. A near
er approach showed that the figure was
that of a young girl clad only in a
dainty frilled nightgown and slippers.
The wind blew keenly, but the lightly
clad girl did not seem to regard'the ele
ments in the slightest degree. Officer
Smith advanced toward the girl, and
saw by her staring, sightless eyes that
she was fast asleep. ,
At this moment the sound of quick
steps was heard, and two men came
down the street at a rapid pace. Officer
Smith recognized Max Reizenstein and
another resident of the hilL whose name
he did not know. RoiKAnafin

wildly at the girl crying, "Louise 1
Louise! why don't you waken?" But the
somnambulist didn't appear to hear his
words.
The policeman then eano-ht th mr
gently by the shoulders, preventing her
ouwaru progress, ana requested the men
to tell what thev knew ahnnt w nt.
zenstein declared that they had noticed
ine giri, wnose name he said was Louise
Liebendorfer, passing in her nightgown
along Virginia avenue, near the top of
the Knoxville incline. Curiosity in
duced them to follow her, when to their
horror they saw her step from the bluff
side to the ties of the incline and begin
w aescena tne perilous slope.
For a moment they feared that she
would lose her balance and fall through
the spaces to the jagged rocks below,
but seeing that she held on her way
downward without any misadventure
they decided to run around by the steps
and stop her at the incline depot. On
the way they caught occasional glimpses
of the fragile form, clad in a fluttering
nightrobe, aud stepping from tie to tie
with apparent ease. In point of fact,
the girl was too quick for them, for she
reached the foot of the incline before
they did, and continued her way down
Fifteenth to Carson street, where she
was met by Officer Smith.
Meanwhile Miss Liebendorfer's eyes
had opened, and the girl, who was real
ly pretty, looked shudderingly around.
As soon as she recognized her surround
ings she hid her face and begged in
pitiful tones to be taken home. The offi
cer took off his overcoat and wrapped it
about the poor girl's shivering shoul
ders. Then he escorted her to the Twenty-eighth
ward station, where the matron
supplied her with a skirt, stockings and
a warm cloak. Special Officer Thomas
Richards was then deputed to escort
Miss Liebendorfer to her home on Vir
ginia avenue.
The Liebendorfer house was vifrifWl
and the aged Mrs. Liebendorfer found
at home. She said: "Yes, it is all true
about poor Louise. I have heard from
several people about her wonderful
walk down the - Knoxville incline. She
has done much straneer thin era in hpr
Bleep. When we lived in Virginia she
twice swam the creek while fast asleep."
One of the incline officials was inter
viewed with regard to th Iati
danger of the incline descent. He said:
"I he incline is. at the verv lpast. 1 nnn
feet in length. It annears to ma nnet
extraordinary how anv human Koinrr
could successfully descend it, especially
at iue nour mentioned, which is the very
