AN ADVANTAGE TO ALL.
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

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.
