Thought There "Was a Mistake.
Perry Watkins went down to the D.

pose of receiving a cultivator and pay
ing charges thereon. 'The cultivator
weighs about 425 pounds, and the bill
was given out by Air. Allaway as
amounting to $1.75.
"I want to pay it all," remarked Mr,
Watkins, as he reached for his roll.
"That is all," said Mr. A.
"You are sure, now, are you?" said
Mr. Watkins, with the air of one wh
wanted to do the square-, thing, but
would not. be responsible for any future
oversight."
"Why, of course," reiterated Allaway,
verifying himself by a liasty mental cal
culation. "Well I never would have thought it.
Hooray for the Regulator!" was the
spontaneous ' response of the pleased
patron, and the toothpick he was chew

Hotel
The Governor's Party.
Governor Pennoyer and Mr. Mctschan
will stay over night in Pendleton, taking
the morning train for Milton, where
they expect to continue their object of
'site viewing. ' After leaving Milton they
will go on to Walla Walla, at which
place their intentions are to examine
the penitentiary buildings and the work
carried on therein, principally the jute
mill operations, in which our officials
are greatly interested at this time. This
work they will thoroughly examine, the
result of which investigation they ex
pect to use to advantage in a similar
department in oar state penitentiary.
Owing to business of importance needing
their attention, from Walla Walla they
will go to Salem, from which place, in a
few days, they expect to return and
visit The Dalles and Heppner, which
will complete their tour of examination
of sites for the new Eastern' Oregon in
sane asylum. Tribune 21st.
A, Narrow Escape.
A real estate firm in The Dalles gives'
t out' as a fact that some Portland capi
talists have been looking over The
Dalles, with a view to erecting a hand
some four-story brick hotel, to be
located on the Vogt property, adjoining
A. A. Brown's grocery store. -
This is as good a location as can be
found in the Northwest for a first-class
hotel and many have wondered why The
Dalles, io view of its commercial im
portance, has not had a hotel suitable ti
.its demands many, years ago. JPendle-
ton, tne hanusome and queerriy city of
Umatilla county, owes much of its
beauty and importance to its handsome
hotels. The spirit of progression, now
aroused, will do as much for The Dalles.
The pioneer buildings we have are not
good enough for the present age, and
located as they are, give passing travel
ers a poor idea of our city, which is one
of the most beautiful in Oregon. All
this is unfair, and the citizens and trav
eling public generally will welcome the
advent of a new first-class hotel, built
with regard to architectural beauty and
convenience and comfort to guests. ..
J. B. Crossen, narrowly escaped being
killed today noon. . AVhile trying to
board the west-bound train, which was
going at a fast rate of speed, he w&9

Draseman at tne rear end ol the car
assisted him out of his dangerous posi-
Jtion and helped him up again on
Icar.
WHEEL TESTED.
Affairs at the locks are not in a very
promising state at' present. Lieut. Tay
lor, who unfortunately has charge of the
government machinery at the plant, is
doing everything, within his power to
retard . the work, displaying an auto
cratic ' assumption and self-sufficiencv
that is not only aggravating but disco.
agins A lew days ago the Day . Bros,
had occasion to move the targe derricks
to their field of operations', when their
use was peremptorily forbidden, with
out even the poor, satisfaction of assign
ing a reason for such action. "No tools
or rolling stock belonging to the gov
ernment shall be taken out ot this
yard," was. the order, and Day Bros,
were compelled for the time to submit.
As soon as they fully realized what was
to be the policy, Mr. Day, sr., left at
once for Washington where he .will
plead his cause and lay the facts before
the administration in such a way as, it
is hoped, will result in ridding the
locks of the human obstruction. He
will have to do this before he can hope
to accomplish the completion of his
contract, as it is within the power of
the enemies of the open river to delay
work so long that when high water
comes it will nil tne canal, and then
nothing can be done until it recedes
again. - ,
The Day brothers, on the other hand
are doing everything they can to accel
erate work. It is learned they will work
the men ten hours a day, and not eight,
as man' suppose, construing the gov
ernment legislation as not applying to
those who take contracts from govern
ment. Another new. rule (for the locks)
is that the men shall be at the ground
at 7 o'clock, instead of leaving home at
that hour.
A skilled-labor . applicant for work
was told Monday by the superintendent :
"We don't want skilled workmen ; we
want rustlers." The inference is plain
that work at the locks will be pushed
when there is clear sailing. A number
of men are at present working in the
timber, on the tramway and in
the quarry, and some few are at
work on the buildings in the grounds
but just at present no new men
are being employed and the main part
of the work will be held in abeyance un
til Mr. Day adjusts matters at Washing
ton, if he should be bo successful.
No Canse for Alarm.

j.ne large irrigation wlieel built re
cently at Gilbert Hunt's factory in
Walla Walla, a description of which was
published in the Union-Journal, has
proved to be a success. ' The wheel was
manufactured for Dr. N. G. Blalock, of
that city, to be used in irrigating his
extensive fruit farm at Blalocks, Oregon.
It was taken to that place last week,
and Saturday it was tested and proved a
success. The wheel was placed in the
Columbia river and started. The water
was raised to an elevation of 60 feet and
then, by the use of pipes was carried
over thfr land. ;-The wheel raised 168
gallons of water per minute, with the
current of the river only running at the
rate of two miles an hour. Gilbert
Hunt, the manufacturer, went to 'Bla
lock Saturday and witnessed the test,
i Dr. Blalock returned Monday, but im
mediately left for Spokane. '

- The president had a peculiar caller
yesterday. He was' "Fiddling" Bob
Taylor, as Tennes'seeans lovingly call
one of their most popular ex-governors,
on account of his proficiency with the
fiddle, and the bow.
"Mr. President, I have headed your
electoral ticket twice in my state," said
the ex-governor.
The president looked anxious.
"But I have simply called now, sir, to
have the honor of shaking your band.
I do not want office."
The president looked relieved.
' Morgan's Mission.
New Yoek, March 21. It was report
ed tonight, from an authoritative source,
that J. Pierpont Morgan, who sails on
the Majestic tomorrow, goes on an im
portant mission for the government. It
is stated he has been authorized to ne
gotiate a loan of $50,000,000 in gold.
The report is apparently well . founded.
Mr. Morgan was in Washington last
week, and held a long conference with
Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle. Of
course, neither Mr. Morgan nor the sec
retary could be expected to say anything
for publication on the subject.
D. Vanhorn, the piano tuner, will be
in the city for a short time, and orders
left in the postoffice will be promptly at

PROFESSOR J. ALOES
The .'steamboat engineer was polite
and attentive. It may be that he was
flattered by the fact that a lady so im
pressive in her manner should have
come to him for information, "" At any
rate he told her all about it just where
the steam went into the cylinder, where
it escaped, and how it was that the pis
ton rod attached to the crank turned the
wheels that propelled the vessel through
the waves." She appeared to . be all
wrapped up in the -information, and
when he had finished she turned a
beaming face upon him and said : "Now,
what Is the object of the boiler?"
