A drummer who sold a bill of goods at
i-" Cascade' Locks gave rise to the rumor
: that work was to commence immediately
' on the locks and canal.' Cass, our val
I 'ued correspondent tells the reasons whya!
m ' ' nothing is being done. - The government
j has tied up the work with another
seemingly everlasting string of red tape,
by refusing or neglecting to turn over
the plant to Day Bros.. : j ' .
The Arlington Record says:- "Now
that tbe legislature is in session let us
make a long pull, a strong pull and a
pull altogether for an appropriation for
a portage railway between The Dalles
and Celilo." To pull together' means
that all the counties east of The Dalles,
should get out petitions and circulate
them at once among the people -.and
have every man sign them if they want
the portage appropriation passed, or
they may wake up and find that tbe re
monstrance has got in its little work ad
vantageously. , ,
The' Condon Globe correspondent at
Contention says Hon. A. S. Macallister
of that place baa gone to Salem as a
member of the third house. Mr. Mac
allister goes in the interest of an open
river, the Celilo portage road, and to
lobby a bill through creating the new
,'' county, of Mitchell; also to aid in bav-
ing the mortgage tax law repealed, the
'' r .7 v .1 . . . .
luucuKuutsB ana exemption clauses ex-
eluded from the assessment act, passed
. several years ego. The idea of taxing
any and all property wherever found,
within each assessment district, at its
par value, is generally endorsed by all
. classes.' :-. -: ) , -. . .
, ' 7 An interesting case affecting eteam
: boat men' has been decided by Judge
Han ford of Seattle, in tbe suit of Mc
, Kinnon vs. the Oregon Improvement
company, in which the plaintiff claimed
i 20,000 damages for bodily injuries.
Judge Hanford in his charge told the
. jury that where a public wharfinger has
steamers touching at his dock, tbe use
,"ttthat dock, as between himself and the
-"iaeeenger8 of one of tho steamers, is
gratituous. That the wharfinger in such
a case aoeg noi incur me same iiaoiuty
, as to light and platforms that a railway
. or other common carrier does to its pas
' cengers, but that it is sufficient that he
use ordinary care to keep' bis structure
' in good condition, and that he is not
f liable for an Injury to one walking on
bis wharf in landing from a steamer, on
lees the accident occurred under such
circumstances that would render a muni
: cipal corporation liable for an accident
resulting from its negligence in keeping
a highway in repair, in short that the
owner of the wharf, at which steamers
touch is under a much less stringent rule
as to negligence than is a common car
rier. It was upon this point that a ver
dict was given for the defendent.

Mies Maude Burke left this morn
ing for Oakland, , California,, where she
will visit during the remaining part of
the winter. , t
Mr. Robt. Mays Jr., left on last nights
train for the California State University,
to' resume his studies, after a couple of
weeks vacation with his parents in this
city,
The D. P. and A. N. Co., have finished
raising their wharf, which in now thir
teen feet , above, low .water. ' It looks
more like an ocean steamer' dock than
the former one. -
The Mignonette Dancing Club held
its first weekly meeting in Keller's hall
last evening. About twenty . couples
were present, and the evening passed
very pleasantly. The club find their
new quarters much more convenient
than their old ones, and anticipate some
merry evenings during the remainder of
the season. Among those present were
Dr and Mrs J F.Snedaker, Jndge and
Mrs 6 C Blakeley: Captain and Mrs F
H Sherman;, Mr. and Mrs H J Maier,
Mr. and Mrs D C Herrin, Mr and Mrs F
A Houghton, Mr and Mrs L E Crowe,

It is undoubtedly true that "Gov.
Pennoyer is against the Raley bill this
year" lor the dalles portage railway, to
be built by tbe state. He intimates as
much in his message. As the govern
ment cannot be relied upon" to build
this portage inside of. forty, years, it. is
the duty ot the Inland Empire farmers
to personally, collectively,' by alliances,
through Granges, and in every other
way, address an appeal to the governor,
courteously asking him to stand by them
now in this, their time of need. . If he
throws the measure overboard now, on
the pretext that Mr. Hermann, or our
senators, did the same two years ago,
or at any former time, they might em
ploy the same plea next winter, as Con
gressman Blanch ard would certainly do,
and the portage would never be built.'
The governor should be gently remind
ed by the farmers that, as they have
stood ' by him, he should feel in duty
bound to now stand by them. It is for
the good of all.
Old Hickory Here.
Hon. W. R. Ellis, congressman elect
from the Inland Empire district, is in
the city today, returning from the eapi-
tol city. He has so far recovered as to
be able to walk with the support of a
staunch hickory cane. It was tmex
pected of course, but entering congress
as he will after the 3d "of March next,
with bo strong democratic majority
against him, his "old hickory" ought to
be of some service to him. It may be
the correct fad to class our popular In
land Empire Congressman Ellis "Old
Hickory," who knows.
MAYS.
. Senator Willis is the object of consid
erable vituperative comment because of
a bill which be has introduced in tbe
assembly providing that -"no female
snail nerealter be employed, hired or
paid for services f as clerk of or for the
legislature, of this or any other branch
or house, or of any committee appointed
by said assembly, or by any officers of
either branch." It is well that all peo
ple do not think alike about such mat
ters as this. Tim Chronicle is dis
posed to say, with all due defer
ence to the fair sex, that Senator Willis'
bill should become a law. . Legislative
assemblies are especially political, and.
the places within the gift of members toll
1 U .1 . , i . 1 . fj
ing class of society, and it is not within
the province of woman in Oregon to seek
such positions. ' Had no scandals arisen
heretofore to afford cause for the motives
actuating Senator Willis in offering his
bill, there might be some excuse for the
criticisms of hie course, but "reasons
have existed, and conditions may ap
pear to justify the present movement,
hence we shall hope to see it succeed

... to the N. "W. Farmer."
Mr. J. H. Tout of Wasco county, not
ishing new beginners to pay as dearly
or their learning as he has paid for his, ,
gives them some of his experience.' He i
eaye: "In 1848 I planted my first or
chard, I bad rabbits and borers to con
tend with from the start. To prevent
rabbits from peeling them I was advised
to grease them with lard and red pepper.
I did so and so closed the bark to lose j
a years growth. The only remedy that!
I then knew was to split the bark from
base to crown. I was then advised to tie
split corn stocks on' them, which pro
tected eggs to hatch a host of borers in
the spring. In . ; 1850 I read in . the
valley Farmer, a receipt for rabbits and
one for borers, that proved to be worth
fifty times the cost of the paper, vis : for
rabbits, select a mild day in early winter,
and dose the trees three feet high with
fresh compost from a cowpen. I have
practiced it ever since without a failure.
"To prevent borere watch them the
first season. If you eee any .borings,
cut the decayed bark away with a sharp
knife and feel for borers with a small
wire, i Early in October scrape a basin
around each tree sufficient to hold two
or three gallons of water and leave them
through the winter, so that rains or
melting Bnowa freezing aroupd thein
will crush all eggs in them, wfthout in
jury to the trees. I proved it where the
ground .troste- eighteen ,-inches deep.
Early in lhe spring, wash with lime,
strong soap, suds, or a loblolly of soft
soap ; then cultivate as nearly level as
you can, early, but not in mid-summer,
lest you cause a tender, late growth to
get winter-killed."

ing my chair as "the valued corres
ond-
ent of Tbe Chronicle, permit me
say that upon the subject of county
division the' people here- are almost
unanimously against it. " . A , remon
strance was and is being circulated here,
and receiving about all the names at
this place. The people say if they are
cut off at all or changed from .the pres
ent position they want to go to Multno
mah county instead, and I think they
are honest about it. About
. THE .GOVERNMENT CONTRACTORS . ,
Will say, one of the Day Bros, has been'
here for tbe last week taking in the sit
uation, but be has informed me that
the contract has not been fully con
summated, although the bonds have
llong since been filed, contract awarded.
but the final documents from Washing-
Eton have not been sent to them. He
went to Portland yesterday to meet his
brother. z'' We will probably know more
in a few days. You see tbe'goverhment
has not yet given them -
POSSESSION O THE PLANT.
Of course until this is done they are
unable to do anything. I believe these
men mean business ; and are business
men. Mr. Day told me after they got
started to work it was to their interest ,
to finish as soon as they could, and that
they . should do sol I think there will
not be anything dilatory about it. Yon
can say that tbe contractors are not yet
in possession of the plant. Until they are
we need not look for any work to start.
There is nothing in the report about the
large barges as yet, for they have not
decided at which end of the work they
are going to get the stone, hence would
not build barges until they knew where
they should be wanted. . V
AN OPTICAL ILLUSION. H
Joe Pacquet was here a day or so ago
for tbe purpose of looking " over the
ground and availing themselves of the
best route to bring the steamer Undine
over into the middle Columbia. . He
thought it was to run in connection with
the Paul Iohr road on the north side.
But' aa I learn by the Oregonian J that
the snow was three feet deep here, it
was thought ad visable at present not to
do anything towards ii "until the tntui
had gone." This looks a little fishy, be
cause the facts are that there hat been no
enow here for two week! It has entirely
disappeared. Over their proposed route
there is no snow, nor within a mile of
it. I think it would sot be amiss to
give them a shot on it in The Chroni
cle, for if they want the steamer Un
dine over very bad they need not let the
alleged three feet of snow hinder them.
. Cabs.
The Undine And The Snow.
"Cass" explains that-"vision of the
Undine at the cascades" today. If there
is no more truth in the Undine story
than there was about tbe three feet of
snow which prevented bringing her
over, it will probably be a long time be
fore tbe vision turns out to be anything
more than a bull and a bear freak to pull
wool over the eyes of some .supposed
lambs in the flock of the solons at Salem.
That is wisely thought to be the purport
of the Oregonian's stories of "the Un
dine and the snow."
