Dr. Saunders has his dental office and operating rooms supplied with all the modern appliances of the art. He has now nitrousoide gas, sometimes called vitalized air, for the painless extraction of teeth. The forest fires last week burned over a vast territory in the Cascade moun tains, leaving the timber very much in the condition it was left by the big burn many years ago, still memorable in the minds of the early Oregon pioneers. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver of Portland, got a bad scare in The Dalles They thought they were left when the pas senger pulled up to let the work train in to the side-track, and Mrs. Oliver ran herself nearly into, a spell of heart failure. Travelers' lack of thought is something beyond comprehension'some times. -- ( Dr. Saunders' little two and a-half year old girl wandered away from the residence to find papa a few dava since, and when recovered was a long ways from home. During the search for her there was much consternation, and it would be difficult to tell which wa s the happiest, papa or the child, when she was found. x Day before yesterday Patterson start ed onhis drive without apound of freight or a single passenger. Something un heard of before. He said it was even up on the trip before, however, when he had several married passengers. He had n good load out today, but no pas sengers. Travel is light both by stage and rail. M. C. Shaw, the engineer who was killed by a cable car in San Francisco recently, was well known in The Dalles. His reraaans -were brought to Walla Walla for interment. He was engaged to be married to Miss Lillie Cantrowith of San. Francisco, 'and the marriage was to have been consummated shortly. His parents-and. two. sisters reside some where in New York.", . - The proposition- to. have Uncle Sam keep MU-Hood -rW-his 7own has been talked over a , great deal und congress will probably be memorialized this win ter to take hecessarv' legislative action to this end.

The delegation of delegates via U. P. R. to the Sovereign Grand lodge of Odd Fellows, which is to meet in Portland on Monday passed The Dalles this morning.- A committee from Portland re ceived them at The Dalles and the trip will be finished on the Columbia river by Bteamer from Bonneville. Some of the eastern delegates have funny ideas of the wild and woolly west. Secretary Gambell is flooded with letters from all over the country asking for information, wise and otherwise, concerning nearly every subject imaginable. Some of these letters are curious documents. One man writes to know' whether it would bo advisable to take a small card printing job press and a few fonts of type to accomodate the visitors by sup plying them wUh-cards. -It has been suggested that it would be an enter taining feature for the eastern "brethern and fully in accordance with : the ex pectations of many of them, judging from their letters, if the Indian tribes of the Yakima and neighboring reserva tions were taken to Portland and turned loose, as a sample of every day street life in back-woods Oreton. Col ambus Day. In conformity with the proclamation of- President .Harrison, designating October 21st, 1S92, as Columbns Day, Mr. Troy Shelley, superintendent tof public schools for Wasco county has in terested himself in the effort to bring about a uniform observation of the jday in this county, and in a note to The Chronicle says: A beautiful badge to be worn in the public school review, has been designed and prepared, and will be presented free to every child in the county attend ing school. If any school is not jn 'session, . the school clerk is urged to undertake the celebration, either personally or by ap pointing some one in the district to at tend to it. Mr. I. C. Nickelsen of The Dalles, will distribute the badges, and they will be given on the following terms only : First. Each teacher must certify to Mr. Nickelsen or myself the names of all children attending their echool, Seconds If the school is not in ses sion, the clerk, or the person appointed, will certify to names or all children who attended last session. -.Third. A: representative from each family, must call at Mr. Nickelsen'a store where, he will receive the. badges free. Let us hope that every district in the county will take port in this instructive and entertainhig celebration " of our nation.

General Manager." THE DALLES, r OREGON SPEEDT CANAL CONSTRUCTION. AVorlc l'erformed at Sao.lt Ste. Marie and Cascades. At the risk of being accused of harp ing on one string, we reproduce the following summary in the history of canal work at Sault Ste. Marie, as fur nished by the San Francisco Chronicle of the 11th inst. : The desirability of securing a passage for large vessels around the rapids at Sault Ste. Marie was understood at an early day, for in 1837 the governor of the new state of Michigan called the attention of the state legislature to the subject of constructing a canal for this purpose. Three years later congress, in the face of strong opposition and after much discussion, ordered a survey made, which was carried out under the direction of Captain Augustus Canfield, of the topographical engineers, United States army. In. 1852 a tract of 750,000 acres of public land was granted to the state of Michigan, from the proceeds of which, the canal was to be huilt.. For the amount thus derived a private com pany' contracted with the state to build the canal. Ground was broken for the undertaking on. June 4th, .1853. The work was completed on May 21st, 1S55, at an entire cost f $999,802.46, and on June 18th of the same year the first boat was locked through the canal. . . The original canal, now greatly en larged, was 5,400 feet long, 100 feet wide and twelve feet deep, with revetted stone banks of a elope of one vertical to two horizontal. Between the years 1870 and 1881 the waterway was widened and deepened and a. new lock, the largest ship-canal lock in the world, was built, bringing up the total cost of the canal to $2,150,000, The canal is 7,000 feet long, with a depth of water of sixteen feet and a variable width, its least' span being 108 feet at the movable dam. A revetment of timber pier -work about four feet above mean water level protects passing vessels against injury from the rocky sides of the canal. The chamber of its lock is 515 feet long, or, including the guard gates placed at each end, 717 feet. It is eighty feefwide, narrowed to sixty feet at tile gates, with a depth of 39 feet and . a capacity, of 1 ,500,000 cubic feet. ,. - - ' The words "Speedy Canal Construc tion", at the head of this article have no application to the work of ' canal con struction at the cascades of the Colum bia, which is the contrary of speedy, and when the facts are ,made apparent the comparison . becomes odious. The cascade canal is but - a few feet over a quarter of a mile in length'. The canal at Sault Ste. Marie is 200 feet more than a mile in length... ..' ,. .' The Sault Ste. Marie canal was begun on the 4 th of June, 1 80S, and the first vessel. was locked through on the 18th of June, 180p, two - years and fourteen days after the ground was broken ; at -a cost of $999,802.40. . The Cascade canal was begun 18 years ago,; there has Jbeeu in . round; numbers about $1 ,500, 0OQ already expended, and the outlook for completion of the work id still as gloomy as it was 15 years ago. r Believing that there should be no ces sation in the demand for an open river, and that the voice for it should be not only earnest but. united,.- iatlw. only apology we. have for recurring to the subject at every opportune moment. It was considered wise by the - people to take this matter of the Cascade canal construction out of the hands of the board of -engineers, and the very. best evi dence of the prudence of this move may be learned in the facts as above stated respecting the Sault . Ste. , Marie s wprki and the work; pf private-parties who con structed .the canal on the Willamette at Oregon city. . But now that congress has bo provided that the cascade canal, be -finished by private contract, how much longer must the; people of the Inland Empire wait?
