For several weeks past a number of Odd Fellows of Sherman county have been quietly making arrangements for a new lodge of the order at Moro, and on the afternoon of Friday the 15th inst.. Dr. O. D. Doane, Past Grand Master, assisted by a numerous delegation of the members of Columbia lodge No. 5 of this city, and i Ridgeley Lodge No. 71 -of Dufur, duly instituted Moro Lodge No. 113, 1. O. O. F., with five charter and eight additional members, so that the new lodge begins its existence, with a total membership ofthirteen. -." Moro lodge is ; very, favorably located in a prosperous and enterprising com munity, in the heart of one of the best agricultural regions of Eastern Oregon. Its membership is drawn from among the most prominent "residents of the county, and from the favorable impres sions ar6 made, as well as ' the ear nest and acwve character of its origina tors and support!"8' haa every prospect of rapidly increasing48 numbers, and speedily becoming an effic!Leilt and Pros perous organization. The lofce"vliaa a very neat and commodious hall, aiw is fully equipped with all the parapherna lia to the work of the order. ..' , In the evening a large -concourse of the ladies and gentlemen of. Moro and j vicinity assembled, in the hall of the j lodge to witness a public installation of its first officers, viz : Chas. E. Jones, N. G., E. Peoples, -V. G., 6. E. Leet, ! Secretary and T. J. Fana, Treasurer. After the installation brief and stirring, addresses were made by several speakers present and then the lodge dismissed its guests and resumed the labor-of initiat ing candidates and conferring degrees. At a later hour those present to the number of nearly fifty were invited to the residence of Mr. W. A. Moore, where they - were sumptuously enter tained at a generous banquet prepared by the good ladies of Moro. This event was entirely a surprise to the visiting brothers, and will long be remembered by all not only for the elegance . of the repast, but for the genial welcome given them by their fair entertainers. Saturday morning at an early hour, the visitors returned home, bringing with them the most pleasant recollec tions of their visit and, feeling under many obligations for their cordial recep tion and generous treatment by their brothers and the citizens of Moro. - Long live and flourish Moro Lodge No. 113 I.

Linus Hubbard of The Dalles is send ing out handsome photographs of the whaleback steamers Wetmore and Col gate Hoyt passing through the Sault Ste Marie locks. Accompanying them is the following verse : : 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. The photos with the verse, are highly suggestive, and nothing has yet trans pired to show that the whalebacks will not be the- coming grain carriers of the world. There is but one place between Cape Hancock and the Cascades with insufficient water for these steamers, and that is the bar a short distance below Vancouver, and a comparatively insigni ficant, sum " will be needed there to furnish a sufficient depth of 'water for the largest vessels that enter the river. When it becomes possible to load a steamer with wheat clear up in the grain fields of the interior, and send that cargo through to a foreign market without breaking bulk or without further ex pense except that of operating the steamer, then will the farmers of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, enjoy a trans portation rate that will make them won der" how they endured the present monopoly so long as they did, and thous and even millions of dollars that is now thrown into the coffers of Jay Gould and his Wall street satraps, will be kept here in the northwest, among the farmers where it rightfully belongs. It is not even necessary that the business be done with whalebacks ia order to reduce the present exhorbitant rates on wheat from the interior, for if the Cascade locks were completed and open to all, there would be scores of independent steamers, barges and scows, offering competitive rates that never can be secured so long as the river is not open, and there is only one railroad to handle the business. The river must be opened, and any ap propriation no matter what the amount, cannot be too large for the vast interests at stake. It is to be hoped that the "signs of the hour"- will be heeded and that the immense grain crop of the in terior will float seaward on the Columbia river before "94" if it is not possible to complete the woik contemplated, sooner.
