LOCAL BREVITIES. Miss Georgia Smith of Hood River made a flying visit to the city to-day, A very large quantity of merchandise was discharged from cars at the depot to-day. B. S. Huntington went to Canyon City Saturday, to attend court, which is in session at that place. So far this season, the run of salmon has hardly, commenced, which is an un usual thing at this time of year. - -Two large freight teams came in today .from Prineville, and will load with Merchandise for that Central City. We acknowledge a pleasant call of Mr. J. H. Adams of East Portland who is in the city visiting relatives and friends. ; It may be that revolutionary ideas are the result of a turning of matters over in the mind.- We are pleased to learn Mr. J. L. Thompson is able to get around on crutches and will soon be down town again. Uncle Tom's Cabin Co., under a canvass will appear in The Dalles in a few days. ,'It is -spoken very highly of and a rare treat is in prospect, j r The Columbia river at this point had a raise' of one foot yesterday and is on a stand at about eleven feet above low water mark. .- The musical jingle of the ' bell on the lead horses of the six and . eig'ht horse freight teams from the country ' is being heard on the streets. The King's Daughters will meet at the residence of Mrs. D. M. French ' to morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. A full attendance is requested. , We have not heard anything what our .city propose to do on the' arrival of Pres ident Harrison, . Is it not time to be do ing something if no steps have ' been taken? .'.-., .' . . ', .-'. We regret to announce that Mr. W. S. Myers was suddenly taken very: ill this morning. It is to be hoped he will speedily recover, and his presence on the streets be known. Our street commissioner is putting down a crossing between Leslie Butler ".and 0. D. Taylor's office on Washington steeet. This is a crossing that is much needed. rH. H. Wheeler of : Wheeler, Crook county is in the ' city oh a flying trip, from him we j learn his Bection has , had an abundance of rain, and the prospects , for a'larger grain crop than ever known ' is quite assured. A Chronicle reporter while driving up Mill creek yesterday inet Charlie Stubling with a set of buggy harness on him Mrs. Stubling . was either leading or driving we could not tell ' which, but 1 Charley was going very meekly all the same. Dr. J. B. Manama, the inventor of the single rail railway, is a citizen of Union, Oregon, but is constructing his first rail way in Vermont, from Rutland to Mont pelier, a distance of seventy miles, on a ,-s subsidy of $3,000 per mile, and twenty ' carloads through freight per day, per annum. The temperance lecture of Major Scott last Thursday evening was one . of the. finest of the kind ever heard here. For-'over an hour he held a lartre ' audi ence as not one out of a hundred public. speakers could do. His language, though pointed and strong, was ' not calculated to arouse antagonism. It was excellent seed sown in good ground and will pro duce rich fruit,-', though it mav ; not re- . form any .who are. already drunkards or uunwu npniens. rum county xiemxzer. i)iv ' ' .j ' '" '' ; He wants it " known.

SucH Will be the Effect With an Open RlverJ ' , Portland C Telegram. James B. Crossen is a 'name well known in Oregon, for the gentleman has been a resident here for twenty-eight years, having resided at The Dalles since 1863. . He has been sheriff of Wasco county, held other important positions, and is now county clerk. Yesterday he made a flying trip to the city, and was met by a representative of The Telegram,- to whom he gave considerable information of general interest. OPENING NAVIGATION. "We are glad," said Mr. Crbssen, "that The Telegram favors an open river, which is now prevented by natural ob structions. We are pleased with the paper and shall do all in - our power to assist it and increase its circulation. You are certainly on the right track, and the more you favor our section of the country, the more you will help Portland, for the opening of the river will brine vour citv laree Quantities of wheat and wool now shipped to thel bound. THK LOCKS AT THE CASCADES. "The Dalles is eighty-eight miles from here and the Cascades about half way. Our legislature at its recent session ap propriated $60,000 to build a portage rail way around the C -scades where the gov ernment locks are being constructed. They have been seventeen years in course of erection, 'and are but little more than half completed. When Uncle bam fin ishes those locks steamers can pass through, and there will be no impedi ment to navigation-. But until they can be completed something is needed, and to afford that relief the state proposes to build a nortaere railway a distance of three-quarters of a mile around the Cas cades. This will connect with deep water above and below the obstructions at the Cascades, and for this purpose the state has made the appropriation of 160,000. . . THE POBTAGE RAILWAY. "The building of this short road must br authorized or permitted by the gov ernment, as it runs across the land set apart for the locks. Major Handbury has inspected the plans and premises, approved the survey; and sent a ? report to me engineer uepuruueui hi, vv atjning ton, recommendih'g the scheme. ; When that report is approved, the state is then ready to construct the road, which must, of course, be done, under the supervision of , 'Major' Handbury, Las a government engineer, and meet with his' approval. A NEW STEAMER LINK. . "Between the Cascades and The Dalles, a distance of about forty-five miles, the Columbia is- a deep ' stream,' free for- the navigation of large steamers. Yet upon thist grAnd 'stream "there- is 'not" single steamer, except what 'the Union Pacific has control, of, and is keeping tied up, thus having the, entire monopoly of travel and freight. "In order to secure the benefits which will accrue to us when the state builds the portage railroad at the Cascades, and give us river transportation from The Dalles to' Portland and the sea,' we are to have constructed at our city, by one of your boat-builders, a steamboat 'which mill on (wvnr )Si tn-'W i Qn ia to be completed in 100 davs from the Um0 the contract is 'signed, Which 'will probably be in two or tnree days. - WOOL AND WHEAT. "By that time, we hope the ' portage railway '" will be ' constructed and then you may look tor plenty of wool and wheat coming from The 'Dalles to Port land. These products are now brought to our city from a distance of nearly 100 miles north and south of us, as well as east. At present this is carried over the railroad, but such excessive rates x are charged that the producer realizes but little profit, and is- working almost for nothing. - ' , :s ''This keeps the country poor and pre vents it from rapidly increasing' in popu lation and wealth', and thus works against the interests of Portland. 'Not Withstanding this, many, of your mer chants and business tnen fail to'Teallze the situation and instead of helping 'us overcome the obstructions are supremely lnainerenc, xnus Keeping us Dacx and in reality injuring themselves. V V '' THE UPPER OBSTRUCTIONS. - "For a -distance of "fourteen 1 miles above The Dalles to Celilo, the "rapids and natural obstructions in - the ' Colum bia river prevent navigation. "To overcome this in some manner is why the recent convention was held in your city, where an organization was iqrmed, whicn proposes to raise a capital sufficient to construct a portage railway for fourteen miles, connecting with deep water at Celilo on the upper end and The Dalles at the lower end of the rail way." IMMENSE' RIVEB FACILITIES. ' " '"When1 this 'is done, there is then a natural highway opened for boats an mind that" Ainsworth,' at 'the-mouth of the Snake river, is 142 miles above Celilo, and from there the Snake' is navigable for steamers of 300 tons to Lewistbnj a distance of about 240. miles.. Thus, vou will remember, that there is ' how -noth-. ing to obstruct navigation on the Colum bia and Snake rivers from Celilo to Lew iston', a distance Of 382 miles. i- ; . Up the Columbia above AinswOrth,. at the mouth of the Snake river, it is' fif teen miles to' White" Bluff rapids. Even these ban be passed bv! steamers, 'except at a, very low stage 'of water. " Then up the-Columbia- the1 river' is clear-forr a great distance, or until Priest rapids is reached., ... .' - 'x 'You how see the importance of open ,Lng navigation - or overcoming the ob structions. With a 'portage railway of fourteen miles from' Celilo to The Dalles, another of three-quarters of a mile at the Cascades, and there is an inland empire opened 'np by the Columbia' and Snake rivers down which would be transported thousands of tons of wheat and ' wool,' as well as other products, and Portland's trade , would- he, wonderfully, increased, for most of it would come here." . The following, statement from Mr. W. B. Denny,, a well ' known-dairyman of New Lexington, Ohio", will be of interest to persons troubled with Rheumatism. He savs: ""I "have used - Chamberlain's Pair! Balm' 'for ; nearly two -years,' four bottles in all, and there is nothing I have 6ver used that gaye' me as much 'relief for rheumatism.. 7 We always keep a bot tle of it in the house." For sale by Snipes & Kinersly. " x - THE EF WORTH ' LEAGUE. .- r A Report Concerning: the Voting- Peo ple's Society of the M. E. Church. The object of the. Ep worth League is to promote intelligent and loyal piety in the young members and friends of the church ; to aid them in the attainment of purity of heart, and in constant growth in grace, and to train them in works of mercy and help. ..' It is proposed to have a chapter of the league attached to every church so that the ypung people can have pure, moral entertainment. Two members of the society of this city attended the district convention in Portland last Tuesday and Wednesday, for the purpose of gaining points of in terest in the management of the league. They found that The Dalles chapter was the oldest and strongest in point of members of any in the 'state a surprise to all concerned. This is one time The Dalles is ahead. The convention was held in the Taylor street church and was presided over by Rev. D. N. Mclnterf, who, it will be remembered, lectured here on Japan. J. C. W. Coxe, D. D., chief organizer for this portion of the country was present and addressed the convention several times on the grand progress which the league was making the country over. Dr. Coxe goes by !way of the Sound, returning by Spokane, and promised, if at all possible, to stop off here, which, if he does, will be a fine opportunity to all who are interested in Christian work, to make it their object to hear him. He is an able speaker and those failing to hear him will miss a rare treat. She Wanted a Divorce. A Dalles lady of the colored persuasion accompanied by her husband entered the sheriff's office Saturday morning and in an excited manner asked to see that functionary. Curg informed her that he guessed he was the man she was look ing for, and asked her what she wanted. She replied "I want a divorce from this man of mine and I want it right away. For the past nine years he has done nothing but drink and gamble and abuse me till I : won't stand it any longer." The sheriff politely- informed her -that the -man who sold, the divorces lived acrossr the' hall, and the pair hastened to the den of Clerk 'Crossen, where the woman repeated the same demand and told the same story. When Jimmy took in the situation he took off his hat, scratched Jus bead looked as wise as an owl, and then told the woman that the cheapest divorces he had at present in stock would cost her twenty-five dollars. The woman declared she had not so much money as that, and the man, while perfectly ' willing to be divorced absd lutely refused to contribute a ' cent. "Well then," said Mr. Crossen "you go round to the pld court house and ask for a man they call : Knaggs. He has just got a lot of divorces that, if you say J. sent you he will sell very cheap." And the couple" went, ' with what result 'we have not yet learned. - HOTEL. ARRIVALS. UMATILLA HOUSE. H. H. Wheeler, Mitchell. Jas. O'Brien, Hav Creek. Wm.1 O'Brien,' "' " -'MrsJW. Reedy, Portland.
