TBI COHHITTEC MAKES ANSWER. Why 'tne. Sham Battle Was a Sham Col. Honfhton In s Bad Light. Th Dalles, Or., July 7, 1891. " Editor Chkoniclk : We the . com mute on arrangements for the celebra tion of the 4th, saw an inquiry in yes terday's edition of the Chbonicxe signed by an indignant "Merchant" and sub-' scriber to the the celebration fund 'ask ing why the wishes of the citizens of The Dalles were not carried out in re spect to the sham battle'. The commit tee can answer this inquiry in a few short sentences,- and put the blame where it belongs. In the first place Col.7, Houghton made the proposition to the committee that if the sum of $300, the approximate amount necessary for a sham battle, be turned over to him,, he would purchase 10,000 blank shells, and in addition would have the Portland light battery take part in the battle . on the, 4th day of July. . , , ; .Taking the-colonel at his word, the committee solicited subscriptions from the citizens, stating that the sham battle would be the. main feature of the celebra tion on the 4th of July.

The colonel on look ing over the grounds decided that they, were not suitable for the encampment, but told 'the comuiitte, that if they thought the grounds fit for a sham battle and to use his own words, "go ahead ! and make your arrangements and I will r have the battle at any place1 yeu may I name, even if I only have ten men to ! have it with." - , . j . After the committee, by indefatigable ! efforts, had collected the $300 demanded by the colonel, they, were informed - by him that a new obstacle had arisen, that the sum of $300 was required to pay the ; ground rent for the encampment, and on the 7th d ' il.llu v.... .... stf tolri tti.ru ,11 .. .

V - a. uro, last mgni, aoout two O'CIOCK broke out in a frame building owned by W. Lord near the northeast corner of Washington and First streets. It was first noticed by some train man who im .. mediately gave the alarm by 'vigorous whistling of a locomotive. The fire en gine responded promptly but it was im possible to do more than save an adjoin ing building. The house which cost Mr. Lord $1200, with its contents was com : pletely-destroyed. There was no insur ance on either. Dalles. The committee in order to facil itate matters, and doubly insure the battle, further appropriated out of their already meager funds, the sum of $10 and turned this amount, to Col. Hough ton to enable him to .pay his ground rent, making the sum total given Col. Houghton $405. At this stage of the proceedings, using a homely expression, the Col. began to crawfish, and in conversation with-a member of the committee while in Portr land be (Col. Houghton) "n formed him that the "Light" battery conld not at tend the encampment and accordingly would nut take a part in the sham battle. The committee on learning that the Portland ."Light" battery would not take part in the sham battle immediate ly asked that the amount left over after paying for the cartridges, be refunded, in. order that the committee might make arrangements for, the firing of the na tional salute ; the Col. angered at this indignantly replied, that if any refund was made the committee could take chi.rge of the battle themselves. Rather than . disappoint the people, th3 com mittee decided to leave the matter en tirely in his bands, relying on his in tegrity that we would have the battle. ' Late Friday evening, much to the sur prise of the committee, we were informed by the Colonel that he had made no provision whatever for the firing . of the national salute. .The committee then took this matter in hand and fired the salute themselves. As a grand ultimatum to his farcial actions he (the Colonel) in formed' the committee at the fifty-ninth minute of the eleventh hour and after all our trouble, that he did not deem it ex pedient to have a sham battle. These are - plain and unadulterated facts, and in this position we appeal to the community demanding to know whether the verdict of the public will place the blame with the Fourth of Jury committee or with Colonel Houghton.

Mr. Farley, - superintendent of con struction of the Cascades' portage road, returned Sunday .morning from the east where he went, about two weeks ago to purchase a locomotive and rolling -stock forthe road. He succeeded in obtaining twelve flat cars, four box cars, and a lo comotive, which will be shipped from the factory by the-middle of August to arrive here about the first of September. ! All have the latest and best improve ments and can be changed into standard gauge by simply " changing the axles. All have Westinghouse automatic air-' brakes. The- locomotive will weigh 52,000 pounds and is believed to be the strongest of its weight of any narrow gauge locomotive in the United States. In addition to the Westinghouse brake it is fitted" also with a water-brake; A .-passenger'i ar, for temporary" use, will be built at the Cascades, as a regular coach could not be built sooner than from 'five to ' six ' months,' 'and no narrow gauge coaches were, to be had already built.. The rolling stock could not be contracted for with any company . that would agree to deliver them sooner than the time mentioned above. By that time the track will be ready for service. Thirty-, one men are now on the pay roll which is all that could be worked to advantage. Mr. Farley will return to the Cascades in the morning. . Morton , Was Custodian of the Cham pagne and not.
