have now reached is two-thirds of the
distance to an excellent steamboat land

he will start from the most favorable
point on the present survey and run the
line to the landing referred to. The ob
ject is to see if there can not be found
practicable and easy route that will avoid
the heavy grading necessary to build
road ifrong the river.
AN EPITAPH.
Lament in rhyme lament in prove,
Wl' Halt team trickling down your none,
Our Johnnie's fate is at a close.
He's lost his breath,
The last snd capstane O'his woes
He's "starved" to death.
He loved the broad Columbia's sweep.
And water "pnmped" from out the deep;
The council thought the "mill pond" cheap
And hotter water,
Bo John was left to mourn and weep
His walful clatter.
His Cornish blood rose high aboon,
The thoughts of drinking from a "flume,'
The Chbonicxr attacked hiin soon,
And though he's skilled in
The art of dodging Irish shoon
The "bully" killed him.
Hang out the Sign.
The Dalles, Or., March 24th, 1891.
Editob Dalles Chronicle : Some
four or five weeks passed the Chkonicle
contained an article on the free reading
room, which we were much pleased to
see, as the institution deserves much
more advertising than it gets. The ob
ject of the writer is to call the attention
of those who have it in charge, to the
fact that for many weeks the sign which
formerly pointed the stranger to this
home-like and sequestered nook has
been missing, and as a consequence
many strangers who stop for a day or
two go away without the knowledge that
e have a free reading room in our city.
In proof of this I recall two examples
which occured to me personally within
the past two weeks. A gentleman who
keep a feed barn expressed surprise
when I informed him that there was a
free reading room, in the city. Said if
he had known it, that very evening he
could and would have directed two
young men to it who enquired of him
where to go to spend an evening pleas
antly, and but yesterday a young man
came to me from the east, a mere boy
of twenty, fresh from the home of his
youth, he had been loitering through
town for two days, when I asked him
why he did not spend his time in the
reading room, he said he would have
been . glad of the privilege had he
known there was one, does it not look a
little like lighting a candle and putting
it under a bushel? Who knows but for
that lacking sign this boy has entered
his first saloon, has taken his first step
on the down grade, has been switched
off on the side track that leads to ruin.

The Best Cough Medicine.
"One of niT customers came in todav
and asked for the best cough medicine I
had," say Lew Young, a prominent drug
gist of Newman Grove, Neb. "Of course
showed him Uhamberlain's uonen
Remedy and he did not ask to see anv
other. I have never yet sold a medicine
that would loosen and relieve a severe
cold so quickly as that does. I have sold
four dozen of it within the last sixty days
and do not know of a single case where
it failed to give the mos perfect satisfac
tion." Fifty cent bottles for sale by
hnipes & Kinersiy, druggists.
Isaac Joles and his brother-in-law
David Beers paid a visit to Sherman
county last week, bringing their shot
guns along in case of an emergency. On
Monday and Tuesday mornings they
spent about three liours each morning
after the geese that come out from the
Columbia to feed on the young fall sown
grain. The result of .the six hour's
shooting was fifty five big fat "hounker"
geese. They made a full express wagon
load from the depot to the store of Joles
Brothers where they are on sale dressed
and ready to cook at the price of seventy
live cents a piece.
We are at liberty to announce that the
racing track in this city, is now in bet
ter condition than it ever was at any
time before. On the first of the month
a competent man will be charged with
the duty of keeping it in first class con
dition during the season. Already ten
or twelve horses are in training and
several others belonging to this neigh
borhood will be put on the track after
the first of the coming month.
The Times-Mountaineer stills bewails
the fatuity of a city that preferred the
water of a mill pond 20 miles from The
Dalles in the heart of the Cascades, run
from thence in a new (not old)V flume
so as to secure its absolute parity, to the
water of the Columbia that is now, and
will continue to be for the next three
months as red as a back yard cess pool.
The Chronicle will head a subscription
to lay up a supply of this water for his
special fastidious use during the coming
summer.

THE NAVIGATION LEASE.
Local Opinion on the Surrender of tne
Lease. -
D. P. Thompson arrived home yester
day afternoon from a trip to Eastern
Oregon, where he had been on business
connected with his banking interests.
Mr. Thompson had read of the rumored
repudiation of the Oregon Railway &
Navigation lease by the Union Pacific.
To an Oregonian reporter Mr. Thompson
saia: . -
I am in a position to know of any such
proposed movement. I have heen a di
rector in the company for a number of
years, and would be very likely to be
consulted, or at leaRt informed as to such
an important step. ' I am positive that
the Union i'acihe people no not intena
to release their hold on the Short Line.
It is a valuable piece of property tor
them, inasmuch as it is the only Pacific
coast outlet that they could secure with
out great cost. , .
A BAILWAY MAX'S VIEWS.
A prominent railway official, speaking
on the same subject, said :
People generally have but little idea
as to what is the meaning or what would
be the result of the Union Pacific throw
ing up the lease of the O. R. & N. To
one not mlormed on the subject it would
appear that the only result of such ac
tion would be that the O. R. &. N. would
just take hold and run their own busi
ness as they used to, and that hy so do
ing we would have a happy delivery
tromtne Union i'aoihc and jay uould.
Nothing can be wider from the facts in
the case than such an idea. The Union
Pacific bought the O. R. & N. .business
before taking a lease of it, -.father sec
ured a controlling interest v p it, which
amounts to the same thing. It seems
strange that the Union Pacific should
want to throw, up the lease of its own
property, guaranteed to pay 6 per cent,
but you see there are the holders of the
minority of the stock drawing their 6 per
cent, dividends. . If the lease is abroga
ted the 6 per cent, will be done away
with, and it will be queer if Jav Gould
cannot manage to huggermugger the.
whole business up, so that the minority"
stockholders will have nothing left and
he will have the whole.

Love Will Find a Way.
"We have many funny things to con
tend with," remarked a policeman near
one of the femes the other night. "A
little while ago a very pretty girl of
about 17 years of age came to me and
said she wanted me to arrest her father.
When 1 arrived at the horse i round a
man who proved to be the carl's father
on the floor, and a nicely dressed young
man sitting on his breast.
"I asked what caused the trouble,
wfaen the young woman spoke up and
said her father had offered to interfere
with - her keeping company with the
ydong man, and threatened to lock him
out. Between them they bad thrown
the rebellions parent on the floor, pi moo
ed him and then nh had binned for
police protection. I told the father to
get up and then pot the bracelets on
him. Then the daughter caujent me
aroand the neck and begged me with
tears running down fasr cheeks not to ar
rest her father, and the old man said he
was only in fun. I complied. Snob is
human nature." Philadelphia Press.
Clear Antiwi Good for Bwrtlraam. .
A gentleman, who is a ' very heavy
smoker, did a pectui&r thing in my
presence the other day. He knocked off
a portion of the white ash at the end of
his weed into his hand and withont
more ado swallowed it. I naturally
asked the reason for this remarkable
performance, and, to my surprise, learned
that it is a sure cure for the heartburn
which sometimes overtakes the devotees
of tobacco. Not being afflicted in that
way, I did not care to try the remedy.
but hasten to coinmnnicate it to my
fellow smokers. My informant was at
one time engaged in the cigar importing
bnsineBS, and was accustomed to test
cigars by the score, tie informs me
that he learned the curious fact in qnes
non in Cuba, where the remedy is
habitually used by the Dons, who breathe
as much tobacco smoke as they da air.
