extra handlings of freight is such tnat
the railroad can starve out any opposi
tion that could be organized. With
locks at the cascades, though, conditions
will be favorable for a portage road to
Celilo. What is really needed from The
Dalles to Celilo is either a canal or a
ship railway, that when a boat is once
loaded its freight need" not be touched
till it arrives at Astoria. It will come,
for that vast area between the Cascade
and Rocky-mountains will soon have a
voice that will be heard as far east as
the Atlantic seaboard.

JEFFERSON STREET, between Second and Railroad,
THE DALLES, OR
From The Independent.
Hillsdoro, Or., Oct. 21. At the last
session of the legislature, sixty thousand
dollars was appropriated for a railroad
portage- on the Oregon side of the Colum
bia around the cascades. With $55,000
of that sum, a narrow gauge road was
built over the government reservation
on the outside of the canal and locks.
This expenditure includes the equip
ment of the road with the locomotive,
passenger car, box cars for freight, and
the purchase of terminal grounds. The
length of the road is of a mile. The
property of course belongs to the state,
that will carry freight for any one who
flora it. The freight rate at present is
forty cents per ton. This little portage
railway made it possible for competing
transportation companies to be estab
lished and live on the Columbia. One
comnanv. The Dalles, Portland and
Astoria Navigation company was or
ganized in 1891 and was a candidate for
traffic later in the same year. On the
opening of the 1892 season a fierce rivalry
sprang up between the new company
and the U. P. R. steamboat line. Fares
were put and maintained at $2 one way
or $3 for the round trip from Portland to
The Dalles by the D. P. & A. N. Co. The
monopoly put passenger fares down to
half a dollar over the same route. This
imposition continued for a time when
the old line tied up its boats and left the
river in possession of the new company
Whit Effect on Freight Bates?
The old rate on wheat from The Dalles
to Portland was $5 per ton ; afterward it
was lowered to $4, then again to $3.40,
Now the river tariff is $2.20, of which
forty cents, as before stated, goes to the
state for transportation across the port
age at the cascades, leaving $1.80 per
ton for the boat. ' The rate for horses in
car load lots for a 30-foot car, into which
xteen horses can be placed, was $35,
The new car rate is $28.50 for a 30-foot
car. By the river, in lots of fourteen to
twenty, the rate is $1.25 each. For lots
over twenty the rate is $1 each. The
tariff by rail on a single horse is $9
The boat carries it for $2. On the car a
shipper pays $13.50 for a farm wagon set
up. "On the s boat 'he covers the same
distance for $6. An emigrant to the
Inland Empire on the cars will pay for
his wagon, team and self $32.70, but he
can go on the boat for $12. Before the
state built its portage road there was an
arbitrary rate of $10 per ton on wool,
now the same service costs $4 per ton, a
clear saving of $6 per ton. The clip,
stored at Th Dalles warehouses this
year, is estimated at 6,250,000 pounds,
equal to 3,125 tons, which at the lower
freight rateB puts $18,750 into the pock
eta of the wool dealers. The estimate of
wheat stored in The Dalles is 1,500,000
bushels, or 45,000 tons. The gain there
is $54,000. In these two principal indus
tries there are saved to the Wasco
county farmers in one season $72,750, a
mm much lareer than the coBt of the
little railroad that has been the means
of such a saving.
Is It Any 'Wonder
That the people living east of the Cas
cade mountains both in Washington
and Oregon are restive over the delays in
completing the locks at the Cascades?
When these locks are finished the rates
will be even lower than by the present
arrangement since the forty cents port-
a?e will be removed as well as ex
pense of handling tne ireigni iwice.
course when the locks are opened,
the state railroad may be abandoned
These advantages are enjoyed only by
Wasco county and that part of Wash
ington whose outlet is by Dalles city,
for there are other obstructions in the
river, the dalles of the Columbia and
Celilo falla. Unfortunately the same
kind of a rjortaee road there will not
bring the same advantages to the ship
ner. because the expense of the two

Socklesa Jerry Simpson's alarm at
hoax threats against his life shows to
what extent the man is swayed by hal
lucinations. A ehort time ago Ignatius
Donnelly gave it out that his life was in
danger. Both men are entirely safe.
They are really not a tenth so important

It is queer how mild and charitable a
man is when he gets in the presence of
cold type and feels that what he says
over his own name he must stand res
ponsible for. This makes cowards out
of some of the -bravest men on "God's
Green earth." But it has one favorable
effect. It brings a man to realize that
he doesn't know half as much about the
faults of other men aa he does about
those of himself.
A Winnipeg dispatch today states
that Rev. E. Young, a Methodist mis
sionary in the far north for several years,
was sent for by an aged dying Indian
some time aeo. who confessed that he
accompanied one of tlie Sir John Frank
lin relief expeditions to the northern
seas. Supplies became very low, and
there was danger of -starvation. Before
Dr. Idinsr returned the commander sent
this Indian and another across an island
to look on the other side. They crossed,
and discovered in the distance three
masts rising out of the ice. They were
nearly exhausted, and knowing that if
thev told the commander of their dis
covery he would go to the place, decided
that it would be better not to tell him,
for they feared the starvation of the en
tire Dartv in the event of the delay
Accordingly they returned and reported
havinz found notnintr. lne next aay
the expedition started to return. The
Indian is certain that the masts belonged
to one of Franklin's vessels.

Chicago News. When Gov. Burleigh
of Maine shakes hands in Chicago with
Gov. Markham of California and the two
stroll away for a chat with some gover
nor from the gulf states or from the
northwestern wheat belt, they will be
very likely to admit to each other in
confidence that this meeting in their of
ficial capacity a great many miles away
from home ia a piquant experience.
This city ia already bristling with rulers
of commonwealths. They are, we con
fess, a well-behaved and mild-mannered
set of gentlemen. They look, too, as if
they knew a lot. But wait. When the
chief justice of the United States and
the associate justices come frolicking
into the city today, with the members
of the cabinet in tow, these wise-looking
governors will find pretty severe compe
tition.- It is a question whether a well-
fed governor or a cabinet officer can carry
off the palm for looking wise. Federal
authority and the dignity of a sovereign
state are two very solemn things. But
what's the odds? Chicago ia proud to
welcome them all -and knowa they are
good fellows. We trust they are not go
ing in for dignity this trip, but for
plenty of fun.
Washington, Oct. 28. Funeral serv
ices over the remains of Mrs. Harrison
took place in the East room of the White ,
house yesterday morning, Revs. Hamlin
and Bartlett officiating; they were very
simple, but beautiful and impressive
services. At the head and foot of the
casket stood large palms, reaching al
most to the ceiling; other palms stood
in the embrasures of the windows and
other points about the room, this being
about the only change from the ordinary :
appearance from the room except the
floral offeringa which were very numer
ous and beautiful. They were so many
of them as to give the appearance of the
casket rasting lightly on them as a ped
eatial. " , .
Among the early arrivals were ex-
Secretary .Blaine, wife and - daughter,
and Mr. and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid. In
the Green room, adjoining -the East
room, the boys of the choir of St. JohnB
Episcopal church . were stationed." The
reason for adding this Episcopal feature
to a Presbyterian service is touching. - At
the funeral of Mrs.' Secretary Tracy, two
years ago, Airs. Harrison was so mucn
struck by the singing by the Episcopal
choir of the hymn "Lead, Kindly Light,"
that she caused it to be sung in the
White house nearly every Sunday since.
Because it was so dear to her, it was de
cided to have it sung by the boys of StS.
John choir, and it was the closing piece
of the simple service. The undertaker
then entered and removed the flowers
from around the casket. The body
bearera, selected from among the bouse
servants, took their places, and, preceded
by the clergymen and honorary pall
bearers, bore the body to a hearse stand
ing under the porte cochere with two
black horses attached; then, followed
by carriages conveying members of the
party to accompany the remains to Ind
ianapolis, the .cortege . moved out and
passed slowly to the Pennsylvania depot,
where the casket was transferred to the
car, together with the floral tributes.
The accompanying party then took seats
in tne train, and at 1 1 :vj iue train
pulled out oh its sorrowful journey.
The remains were received at Iudian
apolis with as little ceremony as possible,
and the last sad rites were devoid of dis
play, in deference to the wishes of the
president.
A Fighting Jury.
San Fbascisco, Oct. 28 It turns out
that the report ia true that there was a
fight in the jury room yesterday between
Jurymen Coy and Cohn in the Bruner
cause. Coy questioned Conn's sincerity.
The latter called Coy a liar and then the
men came to blows. They battled sev
eral minutes before the other ten jurors
succeeded in separating tbem, after
which harmony was fully restored. The
jury waa taken to the city hall, expect
ing to be discharged. ' In this they were
disappointed, for they were again sent
into the jury -room. There no balloting
was done, but an indignation meeting
was held. A memorial to Judge Wal
lace, stating that an agreement was an
impossibility and asking for their dis
charge, was drawn up, and was pre
sented yesterday afternoon, and the jury
dismissed.
