Mr. Hermann made some- excellent
'points in his speech on the river and
harbor bill while that bill was under
generaljdebate. He commenced by as
serting that if any objection could " be
made to the bill it would be that the
nam provided was entirely inadequate
for the commercial needs of the country.
Continuing, he added : - "It should be
$40,000,000. The engineers of the gov
eminent urgently ask for- $89,814,954,
while we allowed but f 21 ,290,975. The
proposed . expenditure of such insuffi
dent sum is not economy, but
may be properly characterized as ex
travagance, for experience proves that
limited sums means costly work. Of
minety new projects favorably recom
miended and supported by incontestable
showing of public worth, only twenty
five were allowed.' The time has come
when such policy ""must cease. Public
-sentiment favors liberal appropriations
tfor the waterways of the country.
.An unreasonable per cent of the pro--diHrer'fl
tnil mfa intn finnanAi-fatiAn
The people understand this, and know
fhat no money is so well spent as that
tfor its waterways. In reply to Holman's
criticism of the contract system, Mr.
T ......
. wwM aiuu buig vtho li i gratvegi, re
deeming feature of the bilk It assures
wuuuj uiai at isod me govern mem
jroposes to do what any wise business
wan would do in his own concerns. He
Teferred to the unprecedented snccess at
.the mouth of the Columbia river, where,
y having liberal sums and the contract
.-system for most of the work and mater
ial, the government had saved $1,347,--00,
and secured a depth of thirty feet
;at low water, which was formerly only
'nineteen feet. He referred also to Phil
adelphia, where the department esti-
mated a saving of $3,600,000 on a project
estimated to cost $4,800,000 ; and a sav
' ing of $700,000 at Galveston, and nearly
$1,000,000 at the Sault St. Marie canal. ;
' So soon as the . Cascade locks are com
pleted and Tkje Dalles obstructions are
overcome, he predicted that within three
years thereafter 30(00,000 bushels of
grain will pass without break oi cargo
from the wheat-fields east of the Cascade
mountains to toe high seas. . He recited
the supreme value of liberal appropria
tions for his state, for, . he said, "wher
competition is . possible, combination
will be impossible, and when we appro
priate for our waterways we appropriate
for the people." There have been given
in leBs than forty years 200,480,387 acres
of the public domain to railway and
wagon road companies, while, in' nearly
century of our existence the expend
itures for the nation's waterways do not
exceed $204,000,000.
The cry about the billion dollar con
gress has happily died awav into a still
ness as palpable as the cry itself was
demagogic and partisan. The-people
axe far less concerned about the mere
amount of money devoted to the running
Of the government machinery than they
are concerning the use to which it is
-put. Democrats have discovered by
Actual experience thaUa billion dollar
ronntry cannot be run on ten cent ap
propriations. In spite of all their efforts
to economize, under the controlling in
fluence of the prince of economists, Hol
man, himself, the appropriations of the
first session of the present congress have
exceeded those of the first session of the
"billion dollar congress" itself by $33,
000,000, not including in this amount
$26,000,000 authorized for contracts on
rivers-ena harbors or $15,000,000 still to
be Added forpensions and sundry civil
appropriations. TVe do not refer to this
in any spirit of fault finding. The large
contract appropriations have been made
in the interests of true economy and the
party in control of the house deserve
much credit for having been able to lay
aside paTtytraditions and make appro-
juiAijuno ujrnautauijr couimensurave
-with the needs of the country. Liberal
appropriations Jot internal:-, improver.
ments is a settled policy of the republi
can party and they, cannot consistently
find fault if the democracy ? are giving
practical indications of a tardy conver
sion to the sarne policy.' , ,
Fortlanders are -actively working to
save goods from flood damages. The
Chhoxiclk was the first .to send in the
alarm," and now, says the Oregonian,
"old-time river men are freelypredict
ing very high water this summer." Old
time river men are getting scarce.
Thirteen baring Tonne Men.
If thirteen young men lawyers and
physicians who have just organized - a
Thirteen club in this city, can tad a
haunted house to meet-in they, will be
most happy. . The organization is nearly
complete, the bylaws and rule have
been drawn up and adopted, and the
only thing lacking is the haunted house.
If this cannot be found it is proposed to
use the dead house owned by the town.
Among the rules are almost everything
superstitious people avoid. Tlia presi
dent is to sit .under an open umbrella
during all meetings and at the quarterly
dinners. A ladder will be raised in the
room, and every member entering will
pass under it A crosseyed janitor will
be secured, and one of the members
whose hair is fiery red will be obliged to
enter the meeting room first every time
it is opened.
. A skeleton will be seated opposite the
president at every feast, and two black
cats will be purchased and kept in the
clubroom. Each member takes a solemn
obligation to look at the new moon over
his left shoulder, pass on each side of a
post when two are walking together,
walk between any couples who may be
seen talking together on the street, and
do everything contrary to the accepted
custom. The meetings will be held on
Friday evenings, and if any member has
to make a journey he will start on Fri
day or the 13th of the month. New

Curious Tomb of a Kentaclcian.
Several weeks ago Mr. James Golden,
a well known lumber dealer of Hick
man,' Ky., died there and was buried
with a strict conformity with the pro
visions of a remarkable wfel. He had
while in health a strong fear of being
buried alivo, fostered probably by read
ing accounts of the few cases of . this
kind that are known to have occurred,
and lie determined to take no chances in
that line that could possibly be avoided.
He caused a tomb to be erected, and in
that tomb had an opening left on the
east side large enough for a man to pass
through. This was covered with glass.
In his will he stipulated that a strong
hammer should be placed in the casket
with him, and that the lid of the coffin
should not be screwed down, so that if
by chance he should be consigned to the
tomb before his life was extinct he
might, if he gained power to move, push
off the lid and with the hammer break
out the glass in the opening left for the
purpose and thus escape a lingering,
horrible death. His instructions were
faithfully obeyed. Friends took it upon
themselves to watch the tomb and be
near in case the gentleman's fears should
prove well founded and " render him as
sistance. But death came with an un
erring shot, and he still slumbers reace-'
fully in his casket. Columbus (Ky.)

Iw Queer Kama,
When a petition for a -new nostoffir- i-n
the mountains of Virginia was received
Bome-weexs ago is was round that the
naJSe submitted was undesirable. The
petitioners were so notified and requested
to submit a list of . names in order of
preference. The new list contained no
names acceptable, and the assistant
postmaster general directed an under
official to select a name himself. - The
clerk immediately walked to the map,
and, locating the .office, discovered that
there was H mountain hard by named
Purgatory, and the new postoffice was
given the name of Purgatory. When
the establishing twiners were forwaWIwl
to the petitioners, and , they were re
quested to submit a name for postmaster,
they returned the name of George God
bethere. So that the new postoffice of
Purgatory is presided over by George
Godbethere. Baltimore American.
- A Jury with Hard Sense. ' '
From a town almost near enough to
Philadelphia to be called a suburb comes
a story of unique dispensation of justice
by a jury from around about the vicin
ity. The case was one in which the
prosecution was brought by a young
woman against a young man. Despite
the eloquent pleading of the lawyer f or
the fair one. the jury rendered a verdict
Of acquittal, and then proceeded to as
sess the defendant a fourth of the costs,
the prosecutrix a fourth, the constable
who arrested the prisoner a fourth, and
the justice of the peace who. sent the
case to court a fourth. The judge re
marked that that wasn't much of a jury
for law, but it was strong in the way of
common sense. Philadelphia Record. -
The Phonograph and the Dumb.
Recent tests in the use of the phono
graph in the deaf and dumb institute at
Indianapolis show that it is useful in
concentrating sound upon the drum of
the ear, so that many pupils otherwise
deaf can hear it. It is thought by the
superintendent that - he can by this
means soon teach the use of their voices
to many mutes whose inability to speak
is due to the fact . that they have never
heard speech.- Exchange.
lom Pedro's Garter.
" Dom Pedro was a Knight of the Gar
ter, having been invested by the queen
during hia visit to Europe in 1871. His
death did hot create a vacancy in the
order, as, like other royal personages, he
was an extra knight. It is probable that
the Comte d'Eu will come to England rn
a few weeks in order that he may person
ally deliver up his father-in-law's insig
nia to the queen. London World. ' .

TO THE. PUBLIC. It having come
to our-knowledge, that a party in
The Dalles in selling lime has made the
assertion that he charges more for other
brands than the "Oregon"- because they
are better, thereby implying that the
"Oregon" is an inferior article, we desire
to state that the "Oregon" is the strong
est lime on the market ; that it nil I u-ork
more plastic and leave the work when set
stronger and firmer than any other lime at
present manufactured in either Oregon
or Washington. WinrButlertt Co., Agents
at The Dalles for the "Oregon" lime, are
instructed to ' furnish, free of charge, any
and all Oregon lime, which does not fully
come up to the stipulations above set
forth. The object of this notice is solely
to defend our goods against the false im
putation and statements of any person
whatsoever. The Or. Marble and Lime
