A FACT AND A PROPHECY.
According to it report from Washing
ton the $435,000 appropriated by, last
congress for the construction of the the
Cascade locks will he exhausted by the
1st of January next. Then- the little'
army of laborers will lay dowji their
picks and shovels and disappear amidst
the winters shadows and the army of
clerks will lay down their fabers and the
cots will be folded up in the bunk house,
and the donkey engine will be pat in
his little crib and Major Handbury will
write a long report to Washington tell
ing the authorities that -ten thousand
million feet of concrete has been, laid
and twenty thousand million cubic feet
of rock has been built and that if con
gress will only give him enough money
the canal will bo open to Priest rapids
by next fall. And then the dispatches
. will fairly shriek about the big appro
priation that is just going to be made in
a week or two and congress will jaw and
light till the closing hours of the session
and inaybo it will give something and
maybe it wont. But in case it grants an
Appropriation the army of government
clerks will resume their fabers and "the
engineers will squint through their in
struments und write souiethingin a little
book. Then a big new map will be
marie showing the changes. from all
previous plan, rendered necessary by
unforeseen difficulties and new estimates
will be made to meet these difficulties,
and the cots in the bunk, house will be
unfolded and the distant hill3 will echo
back the bray of the donkey engine and
the water will be pumped out of the
canul, the laborers will resume their
pick-: and shovels and a little more
cement will be put in the bottom of the
canal and a few rocks will be taken out
and a few put in and then the appropri
ation will be exhausted and a new ap
jwopriation called for, and the solons of
Washington will answer .the suckers of
.Oregon that it's coming right away.con
' cress will iaw and finrht and mnvhn ro'll
-.get it and maybe we wont, and likely
enough we'll be dead before it cornea and
then wo wont care whether it comes or
not. Thus.it will go on and on ad
uauseam, ad infinitum, in secula xecu

UK VISION NICE DEV.
The assessment rolls of several coun
ties in the state of Washington, some of
which have tvo and three national
banks and numerous rich men, fail to
return a dollar of money, , while others
return the pitiful sum of a thousand dol
lars or so. Newspapers of the calamity
Ptriie attribute all this to the settled de
termination of the rich to make the poor
pay all the taxes and one of them vigor
ously calls on his countrymen to "AriBe
and cast them down to hell !" , But the
remedy proposed is too drastic and be
sides it is not certain that the region re
ferred to would not need considerable
enlargement, if all who are disposed to
evade the payment of taxes were sent
there at the same time. There is a bet
ter way and one more in harmony with
the charity that suffereth long and is
kind. However right it may be for the
law in general to assume all men to be
honest till they are proved guilty an
assessor must act on an entirely opposite
assumption and all taxation laws must)
be based on the same principle. Not by
any means that all men are dishonest,
but when an assessment law is so framed
as to leave the. discovery' of property
' that can be concealed to the honesty of
the taxpayer, dishonest wen take ad
vantage of it and the! honest ones pay
the. taxes. This is how it is in Washing
ton. They will not allow a man to have
hiu debts ileducted from his assessment
an thus the creditor escapes detection,
and can conical his credits with im
punity. In this regard the Oregon law
is fairer and better in every way. The
taxpayer is all wed to deduct his bona
fide debts witiiin thestateby submitting
to the assessor the names of the credit
ors. Through this means tens of thous
and? of dr.lliir?, under the bead of
'money, noire'1 and accounts, "' are
yearly added to the assessment roll that
would undoubtedly be concealed but for
the fear of detection.. No such fear ex
ists in Washington .and the adoption of
the Oregon yitciii, bad as it is in many
other ivpect, would, to a large extent;
remedy" the evil complained of. What
Oregon needs is a law compelling the ae
sors, to account, on the assessment . roll,
for every dollar bo deducted and, when
it is within the state, never leave the
trace of it till it is assessed to the prbper
person.
The Aslorian says The Dalles, Portland
& Astoria Navigation company is con
templating the purchase of the Wilming
ton and placing her on the route be
tween Portland and San Francisco.
That's nothing. According to the Tele
gram Portland is going to submit to a
committee of Dalles school boys the
question of opening the ' Columbia river
and it is reported here that the D. P. &
A. N. company is going to put a steamer
on the Willamette to relieve the necessi
ties of the poor people of that valley.
GENJERAl NEWS.
The state treasurer began last Mon
day to stamp jtil warrants "not paid for
want of funds." The state treasury will
be replenished when the 1891 tax levy
is collected. His warrants draw eight
per cent., and there will be $300,000
afloat before March 1st, 1892. Salem
Journal. -
"The only way old Chief Moses should
; be exhibited Portland, pr anywhere else,
is after having been put through a tax
idermist shop. This idea of placing
murderers on exhibition should be
stopped by the government", says the
Spokane Advertiser. It might wtth pro
priety have added after the name
"Moses" the words, or any other Indian.
Melbourne, the great Australian rain
wizard, is under contract with the peo
ple of Goodland, Kaa., to produce rain.
But it now looks as if he would have to
pay forfeit, - and retire from the rain
making business, as far as that section
of the country is concerned. Every day
for the last week his experiments have
been prevented by high winds. If the
wind would only go down, he says,
everything would be all right, and he
would give the Goodlanders such a rain
as they never saw before. A man who
can produce rain ought to be able to reg
ulate the wind, and the Goodland people
may as well demand the forfeit.
Mike Hartery, the humorous stock
man of Tule lake, arrived Monday.
When Mike kept the great Stockman's
Hotel in Deadman's canyon about ten
years ago, a big-footed man who had
eaten dinner shoved a great squash
over the bar and said, gravely, "This is
to pay for the dinner, and I want mv
right change?" Mike promptly took
the squash and then handed the man a
pair of clean socks. 'Is that my
change?" he inquired, turning the arti
cles over and over. "Certainly," re
plied Mike, "It's a change o' socks ve
need, for I can smell yer big feet alPover
Deadman's canyon." Klamath Star.
An exchange says they tell a joke on
the Indian attendants who represented
the Klamath reservation at the recent
Methodist conference at Salem. A big
circus was at the capitol city at the same
time, and the Indian delegates left the
conference to attend the circus, which
they pronounced "immenee." The
spread of religion is very healthful at
the Klamath reservation, though the
Indians insist on having some variations.
For instance, they never name the
children themselves, but ' await the
clergyman whom they insist shall select
the name. A great many of the
boys over there arc called Isaac,
and it was often asked why, until
was found that the Rev. Isaac
Driver had been over there christening
the children and had named them after
himself. Klamath Star.

Tucoma News.
A certain genial old gentleman of Ta
coma, whose wife has lately been East,
has been havihg a hot time of it since
her return. Just previous to her going
he bought her a nice, gentle horee and a
phaeton, in' which she took considerable
pleasure. After her departure, not a
day passed but that he drove out with
her horse. On her return home, she
one afternoon decided to go calling with
a neighbor, and the two started out to
gether. They had got down on Pacific
avenue, and presently the horse came to
a standstill in front of a saloon. No per
suasion., threats nor urging could make
him stir nntil his mistress had alighted
and returned to the buggy, when he
trotted contentedly off. . They had gone
only a block or so when, in spite of her
efforts to the contrary, the horse turned
into a side street and walked directly up
to the door of a second saloon "and
stopped. The same performance was
repeated several times, when the indig
nant wife drove home and resigned her
self to tears. That night when hubbv
came home there were explanations and
tears and promises, and next day a new
buggy horse replaced the old one and
now all is serene.
Change the Route.
Oehoco Keview.
The route for earring the mail from
The Dalles to Prineville was changed re
cently to come by the way of Antelope,
in order to give that place a daily ser
vice. While this may be an advantage
to Antelope, it seriously discommodes
both Prtneville and the contractor, as it
gives the contractor a longer and more
difficult route to travel, and hence causes
the mail to arrive here from an hour to
an hour and a half later each evening.
And during certain seasons of the vear
it is doubtful if the contractor will be
able to get the mail- through at all.
Front Antelope to Trout "creek the road
leads down a narrow canyon, which
nearly every spring becomes" impassible,
or nearly so. The depar -eut will be
petitioned to re-locate tht line on the
former route, and in justice to the peo
ple of this place should g ant the peti
tion.' If not, Prineville mav expect to
lie cut oliYroui comm'u icatio'n with The
Dalles for several w.eks each spring.

.On a draught of bat fifteen and one

will carry 3,000 tons of dead weight.
The singular craft are likely to revolu

by-and-by do away with the necessity
of the proposed ship channel to Portland.
