The Biggest Celebration The Dalles Has
Krer Had.
The Dalles painted her red last night
The rain kindly ceased about dark, and
at 7 o'clock the business of the evening
began to take shape. The first thing to
attract attention was the factory of the
Boston Shoe and Leather company
across the river.. It was really as hand
some a thing in the shape of illumina
tion as we ever saw. The building
stands alone on the hieh bank across the
river, and every window in the immense
structure was ablaze with light making
three rows one above the other and in
the cupola a big bright light shone like
the star ot Jt.Hperance. From the Uma
tilla House pon-.h the litrhts were re
fleeted in the placid waters of the Col
umbia, which flowed unruffled bv. un
mindful of the disturbance the matter of
their utilization was causing near at
hand, and danced and twinkled.repeated
a thousand times. The boom of the big
anvils soon drew the crow away, from
this beautiful scene, and soon a thons
and or more of our citizens had gathered
in the neighborhood of the Vogt Grand.
From Harris' corner that Mr. Glasier
sent up a magnificent fire balloon which
rose rapidly, and pausing a moment as
if to choose its direction sailed gaily off
to the east, as if to carry the glad tid
Jngs of hope to our good neighbors.
Second street Mas a blaze of colored
lights, and all the time as the crowd
gathered the anvil boomed, the electric
light whistle and that of the fire engine
answered the shrill calls from the North
Dalles shops, bells clanged, and from
the armory A and C companies marched
out preceded by the brass band; and fol
lowed by a big torch light -procession,
paraded the principal streets. Many
transparencies were exhibited, and the
mottoes were appropriate. One was
"From Idaho to the sea," another, "We
are iree from bondage," "The Hunt Rail
road, ine Legislature and the Gov
ernor," etc., etc.
Shortly after 8 o'clock the Vogt Grand
was filled with eager, happy ladies and
gentlemen, and, after music by the
band, Mr. Macalliater, president of the
board of trade, and of the meeting, in a
cw wcu-v-uuten remarks introduced one
of our oldest and best known citizens,
Mr. Robert Mays, who was greeted with
hearty applause. He said : "I greet you,
neighbors and friends; I feel that we
have met tonight to rejoice in a common
victory, aud to congratulate ourselves
upon the success we have ar.hWorl Wo
have begun a new era, for the greatest
vent mat has ever happened for Wasco
county, is the passage of the nortas-e
railway bill. I want to say a word right
nere aoout this present legislature. I
have lived here for nearlv forty vears
miu nave nad more or less experience
witn our legislative bodies, and I wish
to impress upon you the fact that this is
the most liberal, the most fair-minded
and broad-gauged legistature this state
h&a ever had. I tell you now that they
have not only done their entire duty by
you, but it is my honest belief that "they
will do their duty as legislators by our
long suffering neighbors east of us, and
will pass Senator Raley's bill. We have
passed the dark days of The Dalles we
have sometimes struggled for the neces
sities of life, but now its luxuries are
within our reach. We have plodded on
towards our destiny, slowly, sometimes
painfully, but always towards the goal,
and never a step backwards. We will
now grow rapidly until, instead of three
or four, we will have a population of
thirty or forty thousand, and when the
crop now growing is ripe a line of steam
ers will be on the river to send it into
the markets of the world." He then
paid a glowing tribute to our soil and
climate, compared The Dalles of today
to the spot where it now stands, when
he, after the weary march across the
plains in 1853, first saw it, and said that
he felt like Moses as he stood on the
banks of the Jordan and looked over into
the promised land, that if he was not to
enjoy it, he rejoiced to feel that his peo
ple, his neighbors and friends would.
He was greeted with hearty applause
1 throughout.
Hon. A. J. Dufur followed in a telling
speech. He said we had been, to use
Butler's expression, bottled up, but
thanks to Senator Watkin's bill, and the
Oregon legislature, the cork had been
pulled. Railroads, said he, are built by
individuals or corporations for their own
gain, but the Columbia is fresh from the
hand of God, and no man or corporation
could con trol it now.
Col. Lang followed Mr. Dufur and
from the applause and from what we
know of the Colonel's ability, we . know
he made a forceful speech, but the noise
of people coming in prevented us getting
even ine gist ot nis remarks.
Hon. W. II. Wilson made a brief ad
dress and among other things said that
Jennings, the one man who voted no on
the final passage of tbe bill, did so from
long habit, being like Holman of
Indiana, famous for his noes.
Mr. John Micheil followed Mr. Wilson
and from his intimate knowledge of the
situation, made a brief resume of the
history of the canal. Mr. Micheil is a
fluent and eloquent speaker and his re
marks were greeted with heart v
applause.
Hon. J. L.. Story made a five-ininute
talk that was earnest and to the point.
Mr. B. S. Huntington stated that he
had recently attended the waterway con
vention at Walla Walla and that by fig
ures there it was shown that the Inland
Empire this year raised 50.000.000 bush
els of wheat, but that the committee put
the amount at 26.000.000 for fear eastern
people would think they were lying, and
tnis reduction was so strongly opposed
by members who were nosted. that the
report was finally made without stating
the amount.
Mr. Wilson, his uartner. recently from
Vermont, rejoiced with us and remarked
mat it was the first time he had ever
heard it publicly admitted that western
men "refrained from telling the truth."
Mr. Nolan rejoiced 'that The Dalles
had finally found something all could
agree on. He was glad Pennoyer was
in it, glad Metcham was in it, glad Mavs
was in it and glad Moody was in it, was
glad he was in it himself, and more than
glad that North Dalles was in it three
stories high and ablaze with light-
Hon. A. S. Bennett made the closing
address, in fitting language and with
modulated voice. He reviewed the
situation briefly and was heartily ap
plauded. On motion of Hon. A. J. Dufur,
seconded by Hon. A. S. Bennett, it was
voted that "we the people of The Dalles
in mass meeting assembled do most rc -
ipectfully urge our representatives m
the legislature to use all honorable
means in securing the passage of Senati r
ivaiey'8 Dill, and thus bring relief to our
eastern neighbors."
The band played, and the largest and
most enthusiastic meeting ever held in
The Dalles dispersed.
The following speech was made last
night after everybody had left the hall, but
that's the occasion our rerjortt-r rIwrvh
J
takes advantage of to do his talking.
Addressing the chairs our reporter said :
"Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen.
When I came here this evening it was in
the humble but auriferous character of a
reporter, and yet, although I came to
make a report, when suddenlv called
upon to speak I find that unfortunately
i am not loaded. 1 cannot help but re
iterate the sentiment of one of vonr
orators, wherein he expressed his satis
faction that "everybody was in it." I
too, rejoice that in this great bowl of
consomme so generously set up by Gov
ernor Pennoyer and the legislature
this great commonwealth, that one eren-
tleman who, upon the final passage of
tne portage railway bill, had the courage
of his convictions to vote nay. I say
again Mr. President, I rejoice that we
have this magnificent tureen of con
somme and that this courageous gentle
man Mr. Jennings is in it I It has
been said that while The Dalles boasted
of being the "Key City," she could not
open the Cascade locks, this has been, is
now true; but thanks to the Oregon
legislature and Governor Pennoyer, the
portage railroad bill is now a law, and
since we are able to pick the lock, the
union f acihe will leave that gate onen
Mr. President, The Dalles is unanimous
on this subject, it speaks as one man. in
response to an invitation to take a drink,
and henceforth I hope to see harmony
prevail, that the lamb and the lion, so to
speak, may lie down together and arise
again cognizant, each of his own auton
omy. We have begun a new era.
and in a few years the old Dalles will
be a thing of the past. Our hilla
will be whitened with fruitful blossoms,
and the air fragrant with orchard per
fumes, the green hills will become greener
with tree and vine, and in the misty
haze of Indian summer, will purple with
luscious grapes and make the glad air
fragrant with the breath of Pomona.
One word, Mr. President, and I have
done. In looking into the causes that
have led to our vic.torv w srmnii
J ' uuwu.v. 41 W U
forget the Press. Our town papers were
working for their interests as well as
yours, but the big hearted newspaper
men of the balance of Eastern Oregon,
and I may say of the state, have stood
by you generously, and unselfishly, to
aid a neighbor. Let us in turn stand by
them. I say, a fearless Press, backed by
a determined people has made this result
possible. The legislature can stand nfr
the people alone, but Mr. President, they
cannot stand tbe press. Your vicfr.
has taught you the benefit of persever
ance and pluck, and it has taught you
mat mis is a government of the people.
It has taught you that under
ment no community, no individual, how
ever humble, is beneath the uplifting
and protecting arms of the law, and it
has taught Jay Gould that no man how
ever rich, is so high as to above its reach.
Let us hope that he will not forget it."
One thing can be said in favor of a
newspaper reporter, and that is that he
often takes notes from nnia that

AdolpU Helot's Presentiment.
Here is a true, strange story of Adolphe
Belot, the writer of a shelfful of .novels,
who died a few days ago. , About a fort
night before bis death he called at Den
tal's to settle an agreement for a new
story. When the matter had been ar
ranged he suddenly exclaimed; "I want
yon to add another clause to that agree
ment." "What is that?" "I want you
to undertake, when I die, to pay for my
funeral." "But, my dear sir," replied
the interlocutor in astonishment, "what
ever are you thinking about? We could
not think of inserting such a clause in
an agreement for a new book." "But,"
objected Belot, walking up and down
the room with his hands in his pockets,
"it is a very small matter for you. I
have made inquiries, and find that a
funeral such as-1 want will cost only
25."
"But it is impossible." "Very well,
then," Belot resumed; "shall we manage
it another wav? Will vm mii.rt3iU tn

partner with whom the conversation
took place saying it hardly mattered,
emce me oougauon would not fall npon
him, but upon his successors. "How do
you know?" said Belot, as he went oat;
"you may have to pay a good deal sooner
