OUR CASCADE LETTER.
A Flea for Double the Present
of the Regulator.
Service
Cascade Locks, May 24, 1893.
Special Correspondence.
The ancient 6aw "more rain more
rest" does not apply to- the locks.
Work goes right along despite the Cascade-concentrated
Oregon mist; and as
for the rain, it keeps right along, also,
doing business at the old stand.
The railway to the Herman creek
quarry has been completed, and the
qnarrymen are busily getting out very
superior rock, a gray basalt.
Supt. Hobart, of the state portage,
has taken all needful care of the state
property, so that there is very little
danger of any of it being carried nearer
to Salem by the freshet. Nothing short
of a mandamus can move it under its
weight of ballast.
Our people miss the boats very much,
and I am asked to put in a special plea
for more service. If the Regulator
could make two trips a week, Bay
Wednesdays and Saturdays, it would
help them out very much. Our butcher
has been getting all his beef cattle up
the river, and feels cramped now, and
others all along the line, who have been
prospering under the benign influences
of cheap freights and squarer service,
join in asking for the boats. If two
trips a. week are impracticable, then let
the Saturday's trip be an all day one,
starting earlier in the morning and stay
ing at the Locks until 4 or 5 o'clock.
This would give your people a regular
excursion day ; time to visit here, and
a good day at any of the beautiful land
ings on the middle river for fishing, etc.
Camping would be encouraged and a
fine business built up. Excuse our sug
gestions, but we are true friends of the
Regulator line. The U. P. would be
doing double its business in Oregon, if
it had paid more attention to its way
points in the state. This is too big a
country to be bottled up, and the folks
who help to uncork it will help them
selves as well as the country.
The hills back of town were covered
with a new coat of snow yesterday morn
ing. Messrs. Day have ordered an electric
light plant and work will be pushed day
and night as soon as it is placed in
position. Nan Each.
Fast Time.
jf Douglas Dufur and Frank Menefee
had a t pye-writing contest this morning.
It resulted in a tie, both making the
remarkable time of 107 words in sixty
seconds. It they continue to improve,
short hand experts will have to cast
about for other employment. But then,
this is about the swiftest work possible.
If they would spell phonetically and
invent abbreviations for crefixes. anf-

Injunction Granted.
Judge Burnett announced last evening
his decision on the Soldiers' Home in
junction case. It was brief, and only
granted me preliminary injunction as
applied for. This leaves the rights of
the parties without prejudice until the
hearing for a permanent injunction at
Albany in June. Judge Burnett was
seen by a reporter, but said he had noth
ing further to say than that he had
granted the temporary injunction

Clarke's Berries.
Fred A. Clarke of Pleasant Home,
Or., called this morning. He is the
originator of the now famous Clarke's
seedling strawberries, early and late
varieties. These berries have proved
the most remunerative of any variety
yet found. They are of uniformly large
size, handsome and of delicate flavor.
Hood River is indebted to this variety
for an almost national reputation,
though The Dalles beat them this year.
Clarke's varieties do splendidly without
irrigation on hill land, but the method
employed at Hood River is by irrigation.
Mr. Clarke, accompanied by Hon. T. R.
Coon of Hood River, was driven out in
the country in the afternoon to inspect
several of the fruit farms.
Worth Looking Into.
W. H. Frasier, assistant general man
ager of the New England National
Building, Loan and Investment Associa
tion of Portland, is here for the purpose
of organizing a local branch of the com
pany. It is the usual custom of those
who contemplate making loans to wait
till they are pushed to meet their obli
gations before making application. It
is a good plan to make preparation in
advance of such wants, to avoid delay
and annoyance. People who do not
want to build now can avail themselves
of a good safe investment and be pre
pared to borrow in the future, should
an opportunity present itself. Hard
times is no excuse for a person not to
better their condition, when so little is
required on their part. Joel G. Koontz
is the local agent of the company, in
whose office Mr. Frasier will be found,
ready and willing to fully explain the
plan. Please get in and-help to estab
lish a good strong board. It is safe and
profitable to old and young alike.

Today Business Transacted.
Afternoon session opened about 2
o'clock. A little important business was
transacted, and then Mr. W. S. U'Ren
of Milwaukic was invited to address the
patrons on the Swiss Initiative and Re

livered quite an interesting and instruc
tive address.
The Grange will appoint a committee
to confer with similar committees that
have already been appointed by the
Farmers' Alliance and Knights of Labor
to meet and discuss the merits of the
Initiative and Referendum systems.
A' resolution, introduced by A. D.
Leedy, regarding the free coinage of
silver resolution, that was presented by
the finance committee, caused consider
able discussion.
Considerable time was consumed in
offering and considering various amend
ments to the original resolution. Some
amendments to our by-laws were offered
but were not thought of enough import
ance to be adopted.
The proposed' amendments were dis
cussed mainly by J T Jolly, W M Hil
liary, John Medlar, P P Underwood, H
E Hayes, Mrs A Canfield, RP Boise, Mr
Tigart and Mr Coleman.
The Northwest Pacific Farmer was
adopted as the official paper of the
order.
Joseph Casto, A S Roberts, A C Jen

of farmers taking agricultural papers

evening session.
The evening session was devoted to
the secret work of the order. All parties
present enjoyed themselves greatly.
FRIDAY HORNING.
This is the last day of the session.
Opening roll call showed nearly all
delegates in their seats.
Among several resolutions that were
passed this morning, was one instruct
ing the members of this order to do all in
their power to have the Columbia river
opened to free navigation.
There was a resolution passed censur
ing .President Cleveland for setting
aside a United States law that was made
to regulate Chinese immigration, and
then calling upon Western governors to
look out for the consequences.
The report of the Resolution Commit
tee, "thanking the people of The Dalles,
and the press, especially the Chronicle,
for their generous treatment of us dur
ing our sojourn among them" was
passed unanimously.
A report that was laid on the table
yesterday was taken up and discussed at
considerable length.
The duties of certain officers were ex
plained to enquiring parties,' and then
the Grange was favored with recitations
by A. S. Roberts, Geo. Stephenson,
Miss Orla Luper, W. M. Hillary, and
others.
The twentieth annual session of the
Oregon State Grange closed at noon to
day. The session has been harmonious
throughout and the members will go
home to their subordinate granges en
couraged to work more than ever for the
success of our great educational and re
formatory movements. All have en
joyed their short stay in the representa
tive city of the Inland Empire, and
speak highly of their treatment at the
hands of our citizens.

Facts About Ireland. f'JiJ9
The population of Ireland in 1891, ac
cording; to the revised returns just is
sued, was 4,681,248. The natural in
crease of population, or excess of births
over deaths, for the year was 22,117, and
the loss by emigration was 59,623; 21,
475 marriages were registered within
the year, and it is significant of the re
ligious feeling whicb exists in all parts
of Ireland that only 399 were by civil
contracts in the registrars' offices.
A. London School of Housewifery.
A new scheme of housewifery has
been organized by the committee of the
London school and city guilds by which
elementary schoolgiAs receive instruc
tion in housewifely arts, and an exam
ination has been held of the work done
during the past year. The course in
cludes the elementary principles of ven
tilation, hygiene, sanitation, thrift and
recreation, and the students are irirls
not more than thirteen years of age.
The sense and intelligence of the an
swer?, the readiness and neatness with
which the girls executed the practical
part, were evidence of the. appropriate
ness of such education for those that
would become the beads of working
men's homes.
