LESSON' 6F - THE WH ALEBACKS.
A Picture Which Tells More Than a
Long Newspaper Argument.
MR. LINUS HUBBARD'S QUIET WOKK
Plea For a Redaetic.ii In Freight
Rates to Furnish Onr Fruit
Growers a Market.
t From the Portland Telegram, 25th.
"Everybody in The Dalles feela that
the Telegram is their friend and that it
will help them in any legitimate way
possible." This remark was made by
G. W. Ingalls, the pushing immigration
agent of the state, to a reporter last
night. At the same time he unfolded a
package and said : "Here is a picture
that I want you to observe carefully, and
see if it isn't a strong argument in favor
of an open river and the quick com pie
tion of the Cascade locks." The reporter
took the picture and observed it closely.
It consists of two neat photographs on
a piece of cardboard 10x8 inches. The
upper one is a photograph of the whale
back Colgate Hoyt passing through the
Sault Ste Marie locks, and the lower one
reprtsents the C. W. Wetmore and a
whaleback barge alongside of each other
in the same canal.
Some Pithy Lines.
Undemeatbythe latter are the pithy
lines :
If our senators and congressmen
Heed the signs of the hour,
These steamers and more by many a score
Will pass the Cascade locks in '94.
. Below the lines are the following.:
PROPHECY OF THE WHALEBACKK.
Quick as the cascade locks are done,
We will carry the inland products
Of Oregon, Idaho and Washington
To every seaport under the sun.
Over the entire picture is the leading.
"For an open river from the Inland
Empire to the sea," while down in the
right-hand corner is the name of . the
originator of the idea, Linus Hubbard
of The Dalles.
Convincing Argument.
Viewed as a whole it is a most con
vinclng argument in favor of the com
pletion of the canal, and will have a
greater influence than a hundred pages
of facts and figures-in manuscript or
print. ' Mr. Hubbard has sent copies to
every cangreeeman, to many Eastern
journals, and to all papers of Eastern
Oregon. It simply and plainly shows
that big vessels can navigate the
Columbia to the Inland Empire if a
canal is finished like that at Sault Ste
. Marie.
' In the Frnlt Land. i
Mr. Ingalls has just been on an ex
tended trip through the splendid fruit
coun try along the Columbia river between
Hood river and a point about twenty
mile east of The Dalles, securing apples
to send to the exhibit in the "Oregon on
Wheels," which is now in the far east,
- He is very enthusiastic over this section
- and says the finest apples in the land can
he raised there on both sides of the river,
Among the varieties are the red-cheek
pippin, Newtown pippin,Roxbury ruqset.
Baldwin, lady finger and Gravenstein
The orchards are bothered with the wool y
aphis and other vermin j but by proper
watching these can be killed off.
A Little Discouraged.
At The Dalles Mr. Ingalls addressed the
Eastern Oregon Horticultural society
and told them of the wonderful possibil
ities of their fruit country. After he was
. through he was informed that rates were
. so adverse to them that they could not
.. get their fruit.into market, and, hence,
were discouraged and did not give great
attention to their orchards. Bearing this
in mind when he came ' down on the
Dalles City steamboat, he asked the cap
tain if he could sot make a special rate
to enable the fruit raisers to get their ap
ples into Portland. .
' ' A Reduction to Come. '
At present they -have to pay express
rates of 75 cents on 500-pound lots, or $1
for less quantities ; for freight rates, 42
cents on 500-pound lots and 39 cents on
carloads or like bulk. Mr. Ingalls urged
that the steamboat company make a 20
cent rate on bulk quantities and about
25 cents on less amounts. The captain
said he would put the matter before the
officials at The Dalles,' while Mr. Ingalls
himself will urge the reduction, and the
low rate will doubtless be secured. It
would be for the interests of the Union
Pacific to do the same, and they will
-very likely follow the lead when the sit
nation is carefully laid before them. -

. An Imprisoned WhaleV' - -
The people around Dark harbor. Grand
Van an, are somewhat excited over a bier
whale which; got into' the' harbor and
cannot get out. i ne wn&ie ran into the
harbor on Friday , it is presumed in pur
suit ox a.scnooi or ' barring. JLs mgb
water there is only ten feet of water at
the entrance, and, as the water runs in
for two hours after high tide, his whale

finds the water too shallow tor ' him.

' A Queer Creature Dead.
' Mason Evans, the much paragraphed
"wild man" of Monroe county, is dead.
The fatal grip took him off. Evans had
been a great curiosity in this section for
more than forty years, during which
time he had roamed in the woods, apart
from the comforts of civilization, sub
sisting on roots and herbs dug from the
earth, with an occasional fowl surrepti
tiously taken from some convenient
barnyard. He was captured several
times but always managed to escape.
Seven or eight years ago he was captured
by some fearless fellow with -an enter
prising turn of mind for the purpose of
entering him in a dune museum as tne
"Wild man of Borneo."
When taken his body was as hairy as
that of a bear and covered with filth
and vermin. His eye gleamed like the
eye of a maniac and he had almost lost
the power of speech. For twenty years
he lived in a cave of the CMlhowee
mountains, and was never known to
have spoken a word during that time.
He lived in a state of nudity, and was
fond of raw meat.-.
Those who know his history say that
he was born in Monroe county, near
Hiwassee college, in 1827 or thereabout.
He was of a good family and received a
splendid education. At about twenty
years of age he was engaged in teaching
school, and in the meantime fell in love
with ' a handsome young . lady of his
neighborhood. She received his atten
tions with apparent, favor. One night
he called and asked her to "become his
wife. She said "No." He went out into
the darkness and it was many years be
fore he was seen again, and then he ned
from his f ellow men like a frightened
deer. Cor. Chattanooga Times.
When Queen Victoria's head gardener
left her service recently the queen pre
sented him with a superb silver tea serv
ice as a token of the esteem in which
she held him.
