Then comments as follows:
"The above senators showed them
selves to be friends of the people, and in
favor of open rivers and water competi
tion to the seaboard for Oregon products.
"The senate has made a serious mis
take in voting down the Raley bill for a
second portage railway at the dalles.
"The state has built one portage at
the cascades, and there is urgent neces
sity to complete the opening of the river
with a second state portage.
"This bill should not be. allowed to be
killed by a few corporation lawyers in
the senate, and a few, who for political
reasons follow the recommendation of
Governor Pennoyer.
"It is a well known fact that if East
ern Oregon has to wait for the general
government to open the Columbia that
section will be at Uie mercy of the cor
porations for generations to come.
"The objection that Idaho and Wash
ington would be benefited by a state
portage built by Oregon is futile, for the
more they ship over it the less it will
cost the people of Oregon to ship- their
own products. .
"The senate should reconsider- the
vote on the Raley bill. If it does not
there aie several appropriation bills for
Willamette valley institutions, the o pea -ingof
the Willamette locks, that will
suffer serious inconvenience in passage.
"Open the rivers is the demand of the
people of Oregon."
Demand an Open Hirer.
; Pendleton,- - Jan. Special.
Each citizen of Eastern Oregon per
sonally acquainted with members of the
legislature should write letters to them,
suggests the E. O, before Railey's por
tage railway bill comes up again, .de
manding and imploring the passage of
the bill and the opening of the river.
The increase in the value of - property
tributary to the river would provide the
state with a tax fund that would more
than meet the interest on the $460,000
required to make the improvement.
Eastern Oregon people are entitled to
an open river and the legislature which
fails to provide it is an enemy of the
people, of the state, of progress, and of
freedom..' - .
The desert lands now lying idle along
the Columbia river -would be fru.it farms,
track, patches, wheat fields, happy
homes, if the fiver was open from Pasco
to the sea. Men who are now denied
access to natural opportunity would be
enabled to eecure land which would give
them and their families a competency.
The "open river" would insure them
reasonable freight rates on the produce
and the traffic which would spring up
along the river would gradually build
town's and encourage settlement of all
the barren tracts of land, which, with
water, and there is plenty of both in the
vicinity, would blossom as the rose and
increase Oregon's taxable wealth from
,10,000,000 to $15,QOO,000.
Some " ninstard-seed-member of the
legislature has the audacity and. stupid
ity to claim that an open river would
benefit Idaho and - Washington more
than, it would Oregqn. We are willing
to wager our life against his that that
fellow is small and selfish enough to let
his wife cut and bring in the stove wood
and milk the cows while he wastes his
time discussing politics from his' narrow
standpoint and securing a levelihood by
his ability to eeenre aon ething for dn?nr
nothing. . These sre the fellows' who al
ways stand in the way of greater free
dom. Both of the great political par
ties of the country are over-burdened
while the people are oppressed by tbeni.
' If the Oregonian would earnestly ad
vocate an open- river, show beyond a
doubt that Portlaud was not opposed to
it either in the spirit or to the letter.
for a week or ten days without abating
warmth or fervor, it would help much
to secure the passage of Railey's bill
providing for a portage railway between
The Dalles and Cililo. . Portland and
the Oregonian can aid and. secure the
passage of this measure and give the
people of Eastern Oregon an open river.
It is a public enterprise that ranks far
ahead of jute mill construction, a
world's fair exhibit, state school books
and a state militia. It would make
commerce freer. - When that is done the
people will become more prosperous and
progressive. -

Arctic Relief Expedition in the Water

Camiikidgk, Md.,Jan. 30. Special.
The steam tug Gredgun finally landed
supplies for the inhabitants of Chinco
teague Island yesterday, after battling
with the ice .for 12 hours. It was a life
and death struggle.. Had communica
tion with the island been cut off a day
or two longer, the consequences would
have been disastrous. As it was, many
persons had suffered for food and fuel,
and milch cows had been killed to meet
the pressing necessities. Some persons
bad not eaten a mouthful for two days,
and a number of others had subsisted
for several days upon bread alone.
Three thoueand islanders have been cut
off from all communication with the
mainland for over two weeks. The
steamer was badly damaged by ice.
Nearly all the people of the island
were gathered at the wharf
to welcome the supply boat.
During the freeze-up, when the demand
for oysters was so great in the cities, it
is probable that 1,000 barrels a day
would have been shipped from Chinco
teague island if the oystermen had not
been prevented from working; their
stock will now reach a full market. The
Rev. George J. Jones was holding re
vival services during the freeze-up, and
the church was crowded day and night
with frightened, but patient people.

James " G-. Blaine was buried on the 63d
anniversary of his birth yesterday. It
was unfortunate that the arrangement
for having the funeral public and at 'the
capitol could not be carried out, ae at
private funeral was- simply impossible.
The magnetism ot the man cluing to him
in death, and overcame all convention
alities. The 'surging wave, of public
interest swept over the barriers and
made his private funeral the most im
pressive public demonstration. The
most eminent men in the nation stood
around the bier. All business- in the
national capital was suspended during
the service. The presence of President
Harrison, the cabinet,, the supreme
judges, the high officials of congress and
the diplomatic corps,, was not more sig
nificant than the homage of the waiting
crowds who, in respectful silence, lined
the streets- through which the funeral
cortege, passed. The parlors were not
able to contain all who received invita
tions. ' Eveti i-tbe house was too small,
and many perforce remained in their
parriages, which filled the adjacent
streets, standing along Pennsylvania,
avenue in front of the treasury, the war,
the state and the navy buildings. ' A
marked air of decorous' solemnity at
tended even on the .outside. 'As tbe
hour for the services arrived, the mem
bers of the family were grouped around
the . casket, the .remainder of those
present standing, as there was no room,
for, chairs.. .w .
. 'A simple eervice of prayer constituted,
the rites. Rev. Dr. Hamlin, standing
beside the casket, delivered in a low tone
the Presbyterian" service for the dead
Walter Damroscb meantime touching
the keys of the piano to the notes of a
slow dirge. Dr. Hamlin thanked God.
that life had ended only that immortal
ity might begin he besought the Al
mighty for comfort to the members of
the stricken household. This ended the
brief, impressive service; the casket was
closed, tenderly borne to the hearse, and
the procession wended its way slowly to
the Church of the Covenant. Tbe serv
ices at the church were as simple as at
the house, consisting of the service for
the dead, selections from the scriptures
and prayer. Then the funeral proces-
sion re-formed and tbe body was con
veyed to Oakhill cemetery and laid to
rest.
