People in the Inland Empire 'are get
ting anxions about the movements of
Paul F. Mohr. It was positively stated,
when he purchased the wrecked cargo of
the Abercorn,, that the railway . iron
would be used to lay a track from the
head of .Celilo rapids- to North Dalles,
thus forming a portage which should be
the key to unlock the bottled up Inland
Empire..-. . y
' Before the convention of the Water
ways association, held in .Portland in
April 18S0,-tlii8 same postage: was prom
ised,' and was publicly' proclaimed to be
come the nucleus about.which millions of
money was to gather (Portland with $5,
000,000, wasn't in it?) and immediately
make the Columbia an open .river, free
for all craft, from its very"80urces to the

Portland pat ap about $3,000 after
wards .lj The Dalles done the rest ; to
open the river from this city to Astoria,
free for all; which it now . is, by using
the state portage at the cascades.
Next, thia. portage figured ; very con
spicuoasly in the senate last- spring, to
assist in defeating Senator Dolph's pro
ject for a boat railway since then it
has lulled down to a stato of quiescence,
compared to which death seems a rous
ing demonstration. " In the present con
dition of affairs, therefore, it is not the
least surprising that people of Iho :Jn
land Empire ehould be making; anxiona
inquiry as to what has become of the
project of Mr. Paul F. Mohr? One of

: A Washington special mentions that
Oregon's Henry Clay, Hon. Binger Her
mann appeared personally . before the
acting secretary of war, Gen. Grant, on
Saturday, seeking to expedite depart
ment action as to rthe contracting of
work at the cascade locks on the Colum
bia. Mr. Grant assured Mr. Hermann
that the department itself is doing all
that is possible, and allowing no un
necessary time to elapse; that Maj.
Handbury, being the officer in charge,
has been directed to submit specifica
tions npon the contract which is to be.
let. . So many, advantages are taken by
contractors in every way that the chief
of engineers is determined that when a
contract is entered - into . for . the. great
work,, it will be done as cqngresa has
directed.-- It must be understood that
uo lenience will- be shown,; and that
every : particle) -of workmoat be com-.
pleted in the exact time and order spec
ified in the -contract, and - the -contract
shall be so caiefully prepared that no
advantage shall be had by legal qaib-

i Today the Oregonian states that ' Maj.
Handbury has returned to Portland from
Cascade Locks. It aaye : "There is no
one at work there now .-except' Lieuten
ant Taylor and a force of draughtsmen,
who are working on the plans and speci
fications of all thi work .necessary to
complete the.locks. As these are for the
use) of contractors who wish to ... bid for
tho entire work, drawings of every' de
tail must be made, and it will. also be
necessary for bidders to, visit .the locks
and see' what has been done and what is
to be done. Major Handbury expects
to get the specifications off to : Washing:
ton this week. The conditions under
which the work is to be done are such
as are applied to- -other government
works of like character, to protect the
government as far as possible from loss
through failure of contractors, etc."

It Pays Handsomely .to Take Care of

Special to Thi Chkokiclb.
; Wapinitia, Aug. 20.1116 small grain
crop : is now ' being7 threshed-, and. how
many farmers; have arranged to .take
care of the straw in a way-,that ; will eh
able them to utilize it to the best ad van-;
tage? The usual rush of the . tbteshlng
season, coming as it does.so .clpsely j fol
lowing the j harvest,: it iar. jnot strange
that there is neglect of the straw crop
Where r not a previously provided for.
Stack yards cannot be provided for all
the grain . where large crops are. raised, a
portion must of necessity be stacked at
convenient points about the field. This
does not in the least excuse 'the piling
out and spreading oat of the straw as it
comes from the machine. Have a good
hand to superintend the building of the
straw stack, an addition of one or two
hands at most will enable yon, to .put
your straw-op in nice shape, so it will
keep until eaten down by the cattle or
heep. A good big roomy straw shed for
cattle is an excellent thing in the feed
lots or in convenient places on the farm
to be used in case of need. In construct
ing the frame, work for theee sheds, be
careful to have them made' of strong
material and securely pat. together so
there will be no liability of breaking
down under the weight of straw that
may be put on them. - Build the straw
stacklaround and over the shed, make it
so it will protect stock, all winter, and
you have a value at once in your straw'
crop that will justify double the expense
of its cost.' 8traw may be liberally used
for the bedding of stock, if it is put up
in stack in.a, well ..preserved condition.
This is one of the much neglected uses
of straw. All tho farm animals should
sleep on straw -during the cold winter
season, and plenty, of it. Their beds
shonld .be made, over frequently , and
clean straw added. The fertallzing
materials about tho yards and stables
may tbur be put into a shape, to be
saved, and In this you have one of the
most valuable adjuncts to the larm out
