Sun of January '6, under "'An Unauthorized State- A Sample of The Wasco the heading rnent," says : An item is going the rounds of the press, originating in an irresponsible paper of this city that The Dalles board of trade is about to issue a circular letter urging the congressional delegation of Oregon, Washington and Idaho to pro cure an appropriation for the construc tion of a portage railway between this city and Celilo. No such letter is being sent out by The Dalles board of trade, ThiB is not a new "break" of the Sun. It is an incident in one continuous break that has been going on ever since the present editor took charge of that . paper. What the editor expects to gain by such a course is beyond our ken. The utter falsity of the statement will appear from the letter of the secretary of the board of trade published in - another place. The circulars have been issued and signed officially by the secre tary of the board which footed all the expense connected with their issuance For the rest the Chronicle make3 the assertion that The Dalles never had a body of men who have done so much for the material advancement of the city and county as this same board of trade. lo it, more than any other set of men, the country owes the Cascade portage. To it absolutely the city and county owes the line of boats now running between here and Portland. While the board of trade has been quietly working the Sun has been making a fool of itself.

A cordial and earnest invitation is extended to all. The Board of Trade Letter. Editor Chronicle: My attention , has been called . to an item in the Wasco Sun under the head ing '"An Unauthorized Statement," relative to the issuing by the Board of Trade of a circular letter relative to congressional aid tor the construction of a portage railroad from The Dalles to Celilo) Permit me to say that while no formal meeting of the Board has been recently held, a number of the promi nent members of the Board of Trade came to me and requested me to prepare and circulate a letter addressed to the congressmen from Oregon, Washingion and Idaho, asking them to use their in fluence to secure an appropriation for the construction of a portage road from The Dalles to Celilo. In compliance with their request, such a letter was prepared, and over 100 copies have been sent to the leading towns in Eastern Oregon, Washington and Idaho, accom panied by a request that as many signa tures be obtained to the letters as possi ble, and that they be returned to me by the 20th of January. As to the statement that there is no such organization as The Dalles Board of Trade, I have to savthat 1 have never heard that the Beard had ceased to ex ist. It is not true that the portage question was ever settled by the Board of Trade, either for or against. The Board of Trade was asked, some time last August, what the people of the city would do toward the construction of a portage. A committee was appointed at that meeting to canvass the matter with the business men of the city. Very soon after and before the Committee were prepared to report, the fire of Sept. 2d occurred and nothing was done thereafter. I was chairman of that committee, and as I understood that the proposed iortage road had been given up, so far as the company that had submitted the matter to the Board was concerned, I have never called the committee together. I do not under stand that the action or want of action on the part of the Board of Trade had anything to do with the abandonment of the construction of the portage road. B. S. Huntijjgton. Sec'y Board of Trade. Old Comrades Meet After a Reparation oi Twenty-one Years. During Captain Lewis' " late trip to Washington, finding himself delayed at Chicago, he bethought himself of visit ing Libby prison, which, as the reader is doubtless aware, has been transported bodily, and placed on exhibition in that city. The familiar sight of the old prison in which the captain himself had been incarcerated, naturally set him to talking and to a stranger also visiting the prison the captain pointed out the celebrated Rose tunnel through which he had made his escape and then proceeded to recount the hardships endured by himself and four companions, till after two days and nights' incessant tramping the captain, weak from hunger and sick lies?, fell down exhausted and begged his companions to seek their own safety by leaving him to his fate. Then s he told the stranger how his companions, with teaia in their eyes, bade him good bye, a third gentleman who had been listening intently to the captain's story, stepped forward and said : "That's just the wav it happened. Don't you re member me? I am one of the four.. We gave you up for dead, and many a time I have rehearsed the story and told that vou must have died and that only two of -us were now alive." Said the captain, as he took his old comrade by the hand. "I'm the liveliest corpse you ever saw," The srranger's name was Captain Wood, but Captain Lewis, in recounting the incident, had forgotten the name of his regiment.
