Cascade Notes.
From our Regular Correspondent 1
Dr. Levins is confined to bis bed with
a severe attack of la grippe.
The snow is fast disappearing and in a
few days will all be gone. During the
winter there has been 12 feet of snow
fall at this place.
Messrs. Dav Brothers and Lieut. Tay
lor went over the plant on Monday and,
Mr. Day says just as soon as the weather
will permit, they will begin work in
solid earnest. The snow prevents them
at present from building the road bed
for a tramway to Herman creek, where
they will get most of the coarse rock for
the walls of the canal.
C. C. Hobart, portage road snperin
tendant here, is fully installed, and is
filling the position tiptop. ' We are de
lighted that the change in the superin
tendency has been made. Mr. Hobart
is a broad-minded and genial gentleman
and withal will look out for the best in
terests of the state in the railroad port
age business.
The steamer Dalles City whistle was a
welcome sound today. She came
through, without encountering any ice
and reached her wharf a half hour ahead
of her old time. :
John Kennefick: Found Dead.
Moro Observer.
On Thursday last the" dead body of
John Kennefick, a bachelor who resided
in the neighborhood of Kent, this
county, was found on a private road or
trail leading from deceased's house to
the residence of Joe Elliott, another of
Kent's citizens. The body was at . once
conveyed to the house of deceased, and
the coroner notified of the fact. The
duty of holding an inquest on the re
mains devolved on Justice Donohue, as
there is no acting coroner in the county.
Dr. I. M. Smith, of Moro, and Dr. Roll
ins of Grass Valley, were summoned to
ake an examination of the bodv and
astened to the scene of the occur
ence on Friday afternoon. An exami-
ation of the body developed the fact
(that the skull was badly fractured, the
bwound being sufficient to cause death.
But how the wound was inflicted could
not be definitely ascertained.- Various
theories are afloat, some being of the
opinion that the deceased fell from his
horse while riding home bareback from
a neighbor's' house a couple of nights
previous and that in falling he struck
some hard substance causing the fracture
on the skull, while others seem to think
that the wound was inflicted by some
kind of a weapon or heavy bar. We
have not seen a copy of the verdict
fouad at the inquest but learn that it is
substantially to the effect' that death
resulted from a wound on the skull in
flicted by some means unknown. , ,
The deceased was in good circumstan
ces. He had no relatives in the county,
his brother being a resident of California.
The latter has been notified of his
brother's untimely end.
Remarkable, Indeed.
' Wo published recently the remarkable
literary announcement of an edition of
the Encyclopedia Britannica, for '$20.00,
the genuine, illustrated, large, type,
cloth, bound work. A sample volume
can now be seen at this office; it is cer
tainly the most astonishing bargain ever
oS'ered in the book world. We propose
to order a set, and if any of our friends
want to join us they can do so, and save
a little in trouble and expense. ' Bee the
advertisement elsewjiere and come in
and see the book. There is an install
ment plan for securing the work on pay
ment of only five cents a day, or $1.00
every twenty days.

Cobvallis, Or., Feb. 20, '93.J
Mr. Emile Bchauno, The Dalles, Or
Dear Sir. Your card and twigs re
ceived. It would appear that the scale
are for the most part dead, but appar
ently have not been dead long, and
there may be some life there yet. You
did not say whether or not the trees had
received any treatment. . -
Further I should hardly think that
the eggs of the scale would be destroyed
by ten degrees below zero, nor should I
dare to neglect active measures on the
ground that such excessive cold had
killed the eggs.
I will examine them more closely and
write you a word later. Yours truly, ,

Trouble
The sound of the steam whistle on the
Regulator was a welcome one yesterday
morning, ana a short time later shel
steamed down the river. Arriving at a
point just below KUndt's, and this side I
o wnere me waiter is ancnorea, a nop
shape, the base fine being marked by
the east and the apex closing up to the
west shore of the river. ' The crew, with
axes, chopped off sufficient for a pas
sageway, and the' Regulator arrived at
the cascades without further event.
Returning, the same point was reached
about 5:20 p. m. The river was again
found to be closed, and it was decided to
convert the boat into a battering ram
Chunks of ice as large as the boat itself
were detached' in this way, in each case
the mass rising a matter of two feet with
a buoyancy showing that the depth was
tremendous. Where narrow strips were
cat, the .width, was shown by the ice
turning on its side. These chunks were
about 15 feet through. After six hours
of fighting for a passageway in this man
ner an entrance was finally' effected and
at 11:30 the Regulator steamed up to
her. dock,-none, the' worse for her ex
perience, other than the effacement of
some paint off her forward hall.
This morning she went below as usual,
the gorge having all gone down in frag
ments, as a result of the loosening near
the point. .
The Time Kxtended. :
Captain Lewis is in receipt of the fol
lowing from the general land office at
Washington : : '
Be it enacted by the senate and house
of representatives of the United States
of America, in congress assembled, That
section three of an act entitled "An act
to forfeit certain lands heretofore granted
for the purpose of aiding in the construc
tion of railroads, and for other purposes,"
be, and the same is, amended so as. to
extend the time within which persons
entitled to purchase lands forfeited by
said act upon the line of the Northern
Pacific railroad company between Wal-
lula, Washington, and Portland, Oregon,
shall be permitted to purchase the same
in the quantities and upon the terms
provided in said section to January first,
eighteen hundred and ninety four.
Approved January; 31, 1893.
Your action upon cases arising under
said act will be governed accordingly.
Very respectfully,
' W. M. Stone, commissioner.
More Prunes Wanted.
Arrangements are being made this
spring to set ont a large number of acres
of Italian prunes in the vicinity, of The
Dalles. This for several reasons : . First,
there is no better climate or soil on the
earth for prunes. Second, Eastern Or
egon prunes are , preterrea in eastern
markets to any other prunes. Again,
because it pays better than any other
crop, and there is no danger of over pro
duction, for there is about 100,000 tons
consumed in the United States every
year and only about 18,000 tons raised.
Nearly, if not all of this production is
raised on the Pacific coast, and now is
the time to set out prune orchards for
the coming summer. The ground will be
full of moisture, from the abundance of
snow and rain that we have had this
winter. Another thing of importance
mast be taken into consideration. Young
prune trees have never been as cheap as
they are nowj and may never .be again,
for the nurseries In the Willamette val
ley had an over production last year and
can be got very cheap. Every acre in
Wasco county suitable for fruit should
be set out as soon as possible, for there
will always be a good demand for good
fruit. Rim Rock.

. Removing- Carbonlo Add
1 saw a carious method used the other
day to take the foul air out of a well,
says a 'writer in the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. The . well was to be cleaned,
bat the man that took the job was
afraid .to go down until he had -ascertained
the quality of the air at the bot
tom. I He let down a lighted candle,
and when it descended to about six
feet of the bottom it went out suddenly
as though extinguished by a whiff of
air. That was all he wanted to know.
He was then sore that the well had poi
sonous air in it, and took a small um
brella, tied a. string - to - the handle and
lowered it open into the well. Having
let it go nearly to the bottom he drew it
up, carried it a few feet from the well
and upset it. He repeated this opera
tion twenty or thirty times, with all the
bystanders laughing at him, again low
ered the light, which burned clear and
bright even at the bottom. He then
condescended to explain that the gas in
the well was carbonic acid gas, which
was heavier than air, and therefore
could be brought up in an umbrella
just as though it were so much water.
It was a simple trick, yet perfectly
effective.
This- reminds Linus Hubbard of the
way he need to do it, which is more
thorough. By tying a cord to each cor
ner .of a blanket and carefully lowering
it the gas may nearly all be brought np
at one load, or, better yet, by framing
the blanket to a round hoop about the
size of the circumference at the bottom.
