An old Bteamboat man remarked to
the writer today that he had never seen
a boat on the Columbia river that, tak
ing her all in all, was built with better
taste than the Regulator. She was
handsome to a degree and roomy to an
extent that deceived a person looking at
her from the outside, while her engines
and driving power were equal to the
best, anywhere.
A paragraph appeared in the Chkoni
cle yesterday, relating to Colonel Sinnot
having been an eyewitness to the only
fight Abraham Liucoln was ever engaged
in. The Colonel informs us that he had
a telegram this morning offering him
$500 for the manuscript of the story.
The only manuscript of the story, as it
was originally taken from the lips of the
Colonel himself, is in this office and can
be had for half the money.
Yesterday afternoon, as freight engine
No. 676 had made about two miles west
of town with the No. 25 freight, one of
the cylinder heads of the engine was
blown out and the piBton wrenched off.
The piston broke at an old flaw and
' every bolt in the front end of the cylin
der was wrenched off. The engine was
able to back the train into ' town, and
after a little delay, start with part of its
load for Portland.
Dr. Rineheart, Dr. Doane and Judge
Thornburry retnrned last night on the
boat, from Trout Lake. D. L. Cates
and I. J . Burgett will be back tomorrow.

I. J. Burgett climbed Mount. Adams,
taking with them a guide and Cates'
u- flog Dick. They got back to camp next
day completely worn out and bearing
every evidence of having had a hard
time. From all we can learn the whole
party, while theyjhad an enjoyable time,
did not catch fish enough . to make a
' good fish story out of.
. Edison is now at work on an electric
motor to replace the ordinary locomotive.
It is designed to take up electricity from ,
a central rail and to develope at least

THE BOARD OF TRADE.
The Portage Railway and Other Im
provements Discussed.
' An adjourned meeting of the board of
trade was held last night in the board of
trade rooms at which there was a good,
attendance considering the number of
people out of town. The meeting was
called to order by Mr. G. Blakeley.
Mr. C. L. Phillips was appointed to
collect membership dues which are now
delinquent and an order was commanded
to be drawn on the treasurer for the
amount of the bill of Ward & Kerns
some sixty-five dollars.
Mr. T. A. Hudson spoke at some
length on the subject of a portage rail
road from this city to a point nearly op
posite Columbus on the upper river.
He recalled the fact that the railroad
company, which was incorporated some
time ago, to build a road from this city
to the- Fossil coal mines, had incorpor
ated as an entirely distinct company to
build the portage. They had done so at
the suggestion of the Portland chamber
of commerce which thought it best not
to entangle the affairs of a portage with
any other scheme. It was well known a
committee of the Portland chamber of
commerce had viewed the new route
and, while their report had not yet been
made he was assured it would be favor
able to the Oregon side of the river. Two
expert engineers who accompanied the
committee have pronounced the survey
to be as good as they had ever seen.
Mr. Hudson had no doubt the company
would get aid from the Portland cham
ber of commerce to build the road but he
believed The Dalles should render what
help it could. He did not think there
would be sufficient trade for a line of
boats, without, a portage connection
with the upper river. He appreciated
the fact that The Dalles had subscribed
a good deal of money for the boat scheme,
still he thought this city ought to do
something, and if the new company
could show that they could build the
road The Dalles ought to help. He
had no suggestion to make as to what
ought to be done but The Dalles should
at least give terminal grounds and right
of way within the city limits. He sup
posed an arrangement could be made at
least to fix a through rate from the east
ern terminus of the portage to Portland.
Mayor Mays considered the subject be
fore the board of the highest importance
to the people of The Dalles. He had
gone with the party who had viewed the
new route and had been assured by Mr.
Habersham, whose ability was of the
highest order that the road could be
built cheaper than most roads in Oregon
and at comparatively small expense. We
all know the worth of such a road to this
city. The question is, What are we able
to do? We have, it is well known had
a hard time to get enough money to pay
for our line of boats, still he was well
assured The Dalles wonld do everything
in its power. One thing was certain ;
this road .would be the first railroad built
in Oregon, and The Dalles should do
everything in its power to assist it.
D. W. French said : "We are all
deeply interested in a portage road.
We need a road, the Inland Empire
needs it and Portland needs it ; yet Port
land led us to believe they were going to
contribute $10,000 for the new line of
boats, and when it came to the pinch
all she was willing to put in the scheme
was $2,000 and we have been informed
the remaining $8,000 cannot be raised.
I do not believe that Portland is
yet sufficiently alive to the importance
of an open river to give $250,000 to have
it accomplished. The Dalles will do all
it can and if this portage road was once
well started The Dalles will get in and
help, but we cannot start so large a
scheme ourselves. We have had a hard
time to raise $60,000 for the new boats."
Mr. A. J. Cooper had conversed with
President Osborne about the two
rival projects for portage facilities and
Mr. Osborne said there was no compari
son betweeu them, the road was so
much easier of construction on the
Oregon side. He thought The Dalles
should make a proposition.
Lieutenant Norton said, his company
was not asking this board for a penny of
money at present. The people of Port
land would Bay, "What are your people
doing at home?" and he wanted to know
what answer to give. He would like to
know what The Dalles was willing to do
in the matter.
B. S. Huntington believed that
The Dalles would do what it ought, but
he thought this meeting could not give
an intelligent answer to Mr. Norton's
question. He moved that a committee
of three be appointed to confer with our
leading citizens and ascertain, if possi
ble, what might be expected. The mo
tion prevailed and a committee was ap
pointed consisting of D. W. French, B.
S. Huntington and Judd Fish, with
Thos. A. Hudson as secretary, the com
mittee to report as soon as possible, to
the portage company.
Mr. Whealdon called attention to
what the state board of immigration
was doing to advertise the resources of
the state and to the further fact that
Eastern- Oregon was entitled to name one
of the three persons about to be sent
east witn the exhibit of Oregon products
known as "Oregon on Wheels." Thefare
of the nominee will be paid but he must
donate his time free. He recommended
Maj. G. W; Ingalls who is now charged
with the" business of gathering the ex
hibit and urged that the board of trade
help Major Ingalls iu every possible way
to make the exhibit a success, as far as
Eastern Oregon' was concerned. G. V.
Bolton called attention to the fact that
the road to Klickitat near Rockland was
covered, at one point, with a sand blow,
so that it was impossible to haul heavy
freight over it, and moved that the board
of trade cooperate ', with the Klickitat
county commissioners in bridging the
sand. The motion prevailed and a com
mittee consisting of Messrs. Fish, Bol
ton and Whealdon was appointed to
raise the necessary funds for the work
and send them to the commissioners
who will see the work accomplished.
The meeting then adjourned.
A Handsome Addition to the City.
Through the courtesy of Mr. H. Her
bring we were shown the other day the
plans of the handsome Gothic church
soon to be erected by the catholics of this
cityj The building which will be of red
brick will have an entire length of 110
.feet by forty in width, from outside to
inside. It will be surmounted by a spire
that will raise to a height of 160 feet.
The foundation walls, which will be laid
on the solid rock, will be of stone, and
the excavation for the foundation is ex
pected to begin in a short time so that
part of the work may be finished before
the winter sets in. The plan of the
building is from an original drawing
made by a celebrated German architect
and was executed by Otto Kleeman of
Portland. The building is expected to
cost, when complete in the neighbor
hood of $18,000; $6,500 of. which is al
ready in hand and $10,000, in all, prom
ised. Mr. Herbring remarked to the
writer that the subscribers can greatly
help the promotion of the work by com
ing forward promptly with their pay
ments. The building, when finished
will be a credit to 'the city and to the
church which intends to worship in it.
A. J. Anderson, living three mile's
west of The Dalles, brought in town
this afternoon for "Oregon on Wheels"
exhibit a box of egg plums, none of them
measuring less than six inches, and
many measuring seven and one-half
inches in diameter. Also a fine lot of
Little Petite, Silver and Hungarian
prunes and a lot of Buffalo and Early
Rose potatoes, the former averaging
nearly two pounds each and will produce
over 400 bushels per acre this season.
We are glad to see our fruit men and
farmers taking such interest in this op
portunity to show up our country.
Frank McFarland got back Monday
eve from Hood River. While there he
had a most enjoyable time fishing,
catching the biggest trout that was ever
landed with a hook and line in that vi
cinity. It was twenty- nine inches long
and weighed eight pounds. He used an
ordinary hook and line and an eight
ounce rod. Frank is beating bis own
record, for last season he captured the
largest trout ever taken out in that neck
o' the woods up to that time. Trout
Lake and Cloud Cap Inn are having
quite a- number of visitors this year.
Mr. McFarland will return to Hood
River tomorrow. Heppner Gazette.
... From late and reliable information at
hand it seems that we did the people of
The Dalles an injustice in a paragraph
recently published in these columns.
We are assured that the unjust attacks
on Col. Houghton are not approved by
the people of that city- and should rest
alone on a few soreheads. This being
the case, our little article did many good
people an injustice, and we humbly
apoligise for our hasty words. But if
the situation was as we understood it at
the time, our statements were supremely
correct. Capt. McCully, Co. I, in Wall
owa Chieftain.
