When the last street fakir w.as in The
Dalles the anti-fakir society . laid in a

why no more fakirs visit The Dalles.
Their olfactory nerves no doubt scent
troubles' ahead.
The preliminary business for the
Fourth of July celebration in The Dalles
is now about completed. The subscrip
tions are being collected which provide
the means necessary to meet all bills in
curred for actual expenses,' and the only
thing left undone is for the people to
join the committee in a grand and hearty
observance of the day.
Business In wool is yet limited to
small transactions. The tone of the
market jjs good, and dealers arc of the
opinion ; that there will hardly be any
recession in prices.; In San Francisco,
Eastern Oregon fleeces are quoted at 13
to.17 cents. Best shipping grades find
quick sale at full rates, but the scouring
demand has not been very pronounced.

by which they may run over the. road
into Portland. At present, their best
chance is to transfer passengers and
freight to U. P. K. cars.

The Dalles fire department have' en
tered into the matter of 'the celebration
with a determination worthy, of , the
the cause. They have, to a man, for
some time past -labored incessantly to
perfect themselves for the tournament,
and visitors to The Dalles on th& Fourth
of July will not be disappointed in this
respect, most assuredly. .
1 wo only of tbe Faithful remained at
the Umatilla house reading the Chicago

It is already known to the readers of
Tun CnaokicLK that on the moraine of
the 16th of June, inst. anticipating the
report of the disagreement of the com
mittee of conference on . the river and
harbor bill, Paul Mohr had placed on
the desks of senators and representa
tives a type written document which
contained a stronir protest aeainst the
boat railway scheme for overcoming the
obstructions at the dalles of the Colum
bia. The document contains 16 pages of
closely type written matter. A careful
reading of it proves that Senator Dolph
was oniy partly rigm wnen ne saia that
Mr. Mohr's opposition was' not for' the
protection of the rights of any one but
for the purpose of preventing the open
ing of the river. Mohr 11 has another
motive. He wants to sell his right of way
to the government at a big price. We
infer this from his manifest desire to
magnify the value of the work done by his
company in grading a short piece" of road
near Col u in bus. - Mohr says his company
has spent $400,000 in the- road already.
This must be a colossal lie: but let it
pass. Mr. Mohr is so dreadfully anxious
to prove that the boat railway is not
practicable that his seal gets the better
of his discretion. He says the sand
drifts are so bad that they would block
ade the boat railroad almost constantly.
That "there are drifts now upon the
ground intended to be occupied by the
boat railroad sixty feet deep, which have
.formed in a comparatively short time."
Then in another place Mr. Mohr says,
"This boat railway scheme is to be
built over ground owned and occupied
by a private corporation, the Columbia
Railway & Navigation company, which
owns all the Yight of way." Thus be
makes it clear, if one had any respect for
bis word, that a portage road on the
Washington side is as impracticable as a
boat railway. If the sand drifts are an
insuperable barrier iii the one case they
are in the other. It is not our intention
to follow Mr. Mohr through his twenty
three objections to the proposed boat
railway, nor his five "commercial, finan
cial and physical reasons why a boat
railway is not desirable." False and de
ceptive as they are they will undoubtedly
succed hi defeatteg, for the present, at
least, tbe boat railway, scheme, and this
will all the more commit thepeople of
eastern Oregon to the Oregon portage,

THAT CANAL SCHEME.
Distinctively a Seattle Job The -Mysteries
of Politics.
From the Spokane Review.
It is hoped that the house conferees
on the river and harbor bill will remain
firm iu their opposition to the lakes
Washington and Union ship canal
scheme. .The estimated costjof this im
provement is from $2,000,000 to $-2,500,-000,
governed largely by the choice of
two proposed routes. If. the work is
undertaken the interests of the rest of
the state must languish.' Every dollar
wheedled out of congress for this local
job will be taken away: from the vastly
more important improvements of a pub
lic nature, and the interest taken in it
by the Washington senators detracts
just that much from - their efforts to
bring about the opening of the Columbia
river. "That Senator Squire should work
for this deal is not a matter of surprise.
He is from Seattle, and this is distinct
ively a Seattle job; but that Senator
Allen should give it his Support, . when
his colleague is doing little or nothing
for the Columbia river, is one of the
mysteries of politics beyond the compre
hension of ordinary mortals. For years
we have heard the contention that the
harbor in front of Seattle is the finest in
the world ; that it has anchorage and
scope enough for the combined navies of
the universe, and that the ravages of the
teredo were too trifling to be considered.
And so it is with surprise that we read
in Senator Squires statement before the
senate committee on commerce that all
this has been error: that the harbor
there is exceedingly restricted, and that
the demands of the commerce . of the
state require the immediate construction
of artificial harborage.
The senator might have spared him
self the pains he has taken to speak for
the producers of the Inland Empire.
The people of the grain and mineral sec
tions don't want a canal dug from Sal
mon bay to the lakes in question. They
are convinced that Puget sound affords
enough harborage for all do lands that
m&3 be made within the next - thousand
years, and if- fresh water harborage is
such a great advantage as the senator
now considers it, the commerce of the
interior can find plenty of it, not only in
the Columbia river, but ' at different
points along Puget sound. The people
of the interior demand that the Colum
bia river be open, to navigation. . , You
might dig canals on Pnget sound until
the crack of doom, and the-work done
would not carry a bushel of additional
wheat to the market ;. would not afford
the producer even a trace of competitive
transportation. They would still remain
at the mercy of the railroads. "The truth
is that canal or no canal, fresh water or
no water, ships will come to these shores
in proportion to the tonage afforded by
producers of the state. Without this
tonage they can not be lured here by ar
tificial berths, The supply will -.equal
the demand, and tonage is what consti
tutes the demand and what will always
constitute it. The canal is purely a local
job. Outside of Seattle it has no advo
cates, either east or west of the moan
tains. 1 The Review favors liberal im
provements for rivers and harbors, but
it views with indignation deals of this
transparent nature, and resents unwar
ranted pleas made in the name of a peo
ple wno are up in arms against .the job

chances hi favor of Stevenson. The
argument being that he is more likely to
carry his state than any other. Boies
should be choice but will not accept.
Under the new apportionment of votes,
accorded the territories it takes 607
votes, to nominate instead of 599 under
the bid arrangement. Therefore it will
take 607 to nominate the vice president.
Nominations are confined to five mirr
