The Wetland Canal..
i The Dalles, Jan. 18, 1892.
Editor. Chronicle :
The Welland canal is iwenty-eeven
miles long. It connects Lake Erie with
Lake Ontario... It has a capacity for
boats of 1500 ton burthen. It enables
moderate-sized sea-going boats to reach
all harbors on sea coasts with cargoes
loaded at Daluth, the western shore of
Lake .... Superior. The . s Clyde-built
steamers Alberta and Athabaska are
running . on Lake ' Superior ; and the
whalebacks Wetmore and Keenawa,
built ' at West- Superior, Wis.," are now
on the Pacific ocean. If the Cascade
Locks were opened, during the greater
part of the year moderate-sized sea-going
vessels could reach The Dalles, and
with a portage railroad , here as a tem
porary, expedient the products of the in
land empire could be shipped direct to
any sea coast market in the world.
Wake up, ye people of Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho and strive for J he early
completion of the Cascade Locks and
place the inland empire where the God
of nature designed her to be. ; L. H.
DISMISSED THE CASE.
A Pointer for Police Iudff Osbstrn.
It happened in Oregon some time ago'.
There wasnt a preacher in the place,
and when an exceedly raw 'young man
and woman desired to get married the
services of the police judge were called
in. ; He had never had any experience
in that branch of his authority, but with
true western enterprise he agreed to
tackle the job. and the culprits were
brought before him. '
"Stand up," he said K. as; they seated
themselves, and they stood up.
."Come forward to the bar of juBtice,"
he continued with a pompous effort, and
they came.
. "Guilty or, not guilty?".; he asked as
they stood before him holding hands.
' ,'Guilty, your honor," Responded the
groom. -
"Is this your first offense?"
"It. is, your, honor, so help nae," . .
"Well, there's nothing to do but im
pose a life sentence on both of you and
assess the groom for the costs." '
"How much, your honor?'.' asked the
groom, going down into his pockets.
"Ten dollars."
The groom handed it over. , . , , .
. "Case is dismissed," 'announced the
judge, and the innocent young, things
marched out of the room" as radiant as
a June morning when the sunlight kisses
the roses until they blush again.

Ochoco Review.
All things considered Sherman county
is one of the best in the state, and the
bomeseeker desiring to get good land at
a nominal figure can do no better than
to steer straight for Sherman. No
cheaper land in the state can be had
than right here; - The real estate market
never has been very active, consequently
no '.excitement or flurry has been caused
in this line. Vfasco AVic.
John Colver of Crook county, has got
tired of waiting for the government to
make an appropriation . for sinking ar

next summer will sink one on his own
hook on his place on Camp' creek. He
expects to get artesian- water at a- depth'
of less than-200-feet,- as artesian-; water
has been struck at a' depth of a little
over 100 feet a short distance above his

CURRENT COMMENT.
J. L. Sullivan is writing a book. It is
to -be a history of his life and will con
tain a treatise on prize fighting. -
The New York World has polled the
legislature of that state on presidential
preferences with the following result:
Pem,ocrats, Hill 53 ; .Cleveland 4; non
committal 2ft; 3 Flower 1. Republicans,
Ulame oO; - Jtiarnson o ; non-committal
17;; ;Depew 1. ... ., A . M . ,. . .
The San Francisco Chronicle says:
"It is very evident that the - democratic
party is hopelessly at sea ; on the silver
question." ,-Then the republican party
must' be hopelessly . in company with
McGinty at the sea's bottom, for it is
far worse divided and distracted' on the
silver question than the democrats are.
. A fruit man, speaking of the profits
in. systematic fruit growing the other
day, said he had figured itput that $1000
invested in a prune orchard will yield a
larger income than $40,000 invested in
bonds. It cannot be denied, while most
of us would probably choose the bonds
first, that the fruit theory has been
proven to be correct, and the invesrment
in a prune orchard worth at planting
$1000, is within the reach of many,
while -the investment in such a stock bf
bonds is confined to few. An additional
advantage of the prune theory is that a
very large percentage of the investment
can -be. represented by manual labor,
while in the bonds business labor has
no consideration whatever.
Landslide on tno Northern Buries a
r - i . . Steam Shovel.
Tacoma, Wash., Jan. 16. The largest
landslide occurring . for years on the
Northern Pacific road came down the
bluffside at. Eagle Gorge last evening
about 7 o'clock. The slide completely
buried a large steam shovel, worth
$8000, and the main line for a disiance
of 300 feet. Engineer J. M. Dixon and
Division ; Engineer Bihler said this
morning that it will tajte his force five
days to dig out the shovel and ascertain
the damage done. The force at Eagle
Gorge numbers 150 men, who started to
dig out the big shovel today. The bluff
mere rises up irom tne jreen river to a
height of over 100 feet. The slide
brought down the entire brow of the
bluff, including huge boulders, stumps
and trees. - The earth will be taken
away by work trains. ' A side track was
run -around the scene of the slide at
Eagle Gorge, which trains are usiner.
Two dozen men quit work On and around"
the steam siiovel an hour before' the
slide occurred. . . .- -
