Work is being prosecuted with great
vigor at the locks. There is now a force
of 8(i stone cutters at work and a num-
lior lire held in reserve anticipating still
greater facilities in delivering the rock
Tho bed of Herman creek bus been
turned, so as to get the vast amount of
rock in its bottom, of which, it is be
lieved, there is enough to finish the
work. At present quarrymen are get
ting out and running into the yards mi
average of twenty cars of stone daily.
Each car has four or five rocks on it
averaging four tons each, and Saturday
twenty-two cars were delivered, one of
them bearing a rock weighing ten tone
A derrick lias been erected near where
the Union Pacific crosses the ravine nest
the locks, which is far from beine a
toy. It has an 80-feet boom nnd
lifts the largest rpeks a distance of
100 feet with as much ease as
if they were so mativ feathers. This
derrick swings them around from the
U. P. track to a narrow gauge quite a
distance away and twenty feet lower.
The stonecutter's union have entered
into a contract witli Day brothers to
enforce a uniform scale of wages, and
they are in turn bound to do first-class
work and no "soldiering." Dr. Day has
just gone east to place a contract with
some iron manufacturer for the massive
steel lock gates. They will arrive In
ample time and it is hoped by the Day
Bros, that in a year from September the
locks will be in readiness for the passage
of deep-water craft to tho head of navi
gation, which will then be The Dalles.
DEATH IN THE LAKE.

John Gault, a German lad about 14
years old, who was working for Henry
Snipes, met his death by drowning
yesterday afternoon at Snipes' lake, this
side of ltowena, about six miles from
The Dalles. He, with a number of
boyH, swam across tho lake, and con
cluded he would have some fun by
riding n horse back. Ho caught tho
animal and guided him across for the
other shore. When about in the mid
dle he full from the animal and sank.
Tho coroner left this morning for tho
hcoiio of tho fatality, accompanied by an
Indian who was to recover tho body by
diving. A coffin was also sent out for
the remains.
The boy was living alone at Kowcna,
his father having left for tho east about
a month ago in senrch of work.

Funeral nf tv. Wllftnn.
The funeral ceremonies of tho Hew W
II. Wilson took place Saturday, the in
tcrment being in Sunset cemetery
Here ttie G. A. It. took charge of the re
mains, and the ceremonies, as outlined
in tlio ritual, were very impressive
Just as the sun was disappearing ha-
hind the western mountains, the coffin
was lowered to its final resting place
The following are a part of the re
marks made bv llev. W. C. Curtis at
the obsequiep :
Mr. Wilson was the son of William
and lary (Wallace) Wilson of Clinton,
Alleghany county, Pa. One who knew
his parents well says of them both they
were "remarkable for intelligence and
Christian character," and I can well
believe it, for such men as he do not
spring directly from our common dust;
they are usually evolved from an intel
ligent and noble ancestry. Ho was born
on tiie 29th of January, 1823. I can
learn nothing of his boyhood and not
much of his youth, but a few simple
words in characterization of hint taken
from un old college record, bring him
very vividly before me and make me
quite sure that I have not guessed
wrongly in some respects. Tho record
describes him as "a tall, slim young man
of fair complexion, whose emotions be
trayed themselves in the flush that so
quickly overspread his face. Gentle
manly in manner, honorable and Chris
tian in ipirit, tender-hearted, sensitive
and modest, and possessing the confi
dence and esteem of all." I might just
stop here and say that in all our knowl
edge and acquaintance he was only such
an one fuller grown. Ho was at that
time a member of the Associate church
us I understand it, a branch of tho Scot
tish Secedem (Presbyterians). He en
tered Jefferson college, Pa., in the year
1843, graduating four years later. In
college he took high rank as a scholar,
and earned lor himself an enviable rep
utation as a debater. After graduation
he pursued the study of Theology at
Canonsburg, was licensed to preach by
the Presbytery of Charters Oct, 29th,
18.ri0, and orduined by the Presbytery of
Miami Aug., 1852. In ISM ho accepted
tho pastorate of the first church Wash
ington, Iowa, remaining in that relation
until some time in 1800. While holding
this pastonvto ho wus also for live years
a professor of mathematics and natural
sciences in Washington college, Droving
hunselt well qualified for the position as
regards knowledge in his departments
and aptness in instruction, being reck
oned "a very successful teacher."
In 1SG2, shuring and doubtless helping I
to his utmost endeavor, its impulse of
patriotism mid detiro for the preserva
tion of tho nation's integrity, which
possessed mouthers of his congregation
and community, he answered tho call of
his country and went with them as
chaplain of tho 17th lowu volunteers,
Eorving from 1802 to 180-1. Members of
the Grand Army of the Kepublic and all
who have touched in any way this part
of his experience or his convictions,
know well that his soul was linked with
the maintenance of the principles at
stako in that struggle. Though I doubt
not that, tho struggle ended, he was as
deslroiiH as any ono that tho reign of
at my coming hero and many a time
since, how they delighted in hin minlH
try and were profited by it), hcvwaa an
earnest, fathful and devoted minister of
tho gospel. Ho carried the spirit of tho
gospel in his life, and won and retained
the confidence and love of thoso about
him. He wai a man of fine literary
tastes and studious habits, and. if he
ever fell short it was not becauso he did
not aim high and do his utmost to read
the mark. His companions in tho min
lsiry assure us that though ho was
greatly esteemed for his real ability in
every presbytery with which ho was as
sociated, his exceeding modesty, which
really amounted to timidity, kept him
from the prominence of which his abili
ties gave promise. T gather from those
who have characterized his work to me
that with this fine literary taste w3 a
certain persnamenrss which rose high
above everything else, making it the
chief charm of his preaching.
Though the church in which his min
istry wa, drew bard lines between itself
and others, yet even then he had fre
qucnt testimony that hia method of
stating gospel truth commended itself to
the minds and consciences of many, ir
respective of church or creeds. Ho pre
scntcd the truth in such a wav that
many of diverse belief, not knowing his
creed, claimed him for their own. Ho
gathered about him a largo, strong
church there in Towa, many members of
which and of the community cherish hia
memory with great fondness, and had it
not been that the paralysis fell upon
him just as it did he would have gone
back to them this summer and seen how
much thev could do to "make him know
how good is the old love." But tho old
church, dear as it was, could not keep
him. Somehow he got it into his heart
that he ought to arise and go into the
great land whose shores were washed by
the mighty Pacific a land which God
would show him and give to him, in part
at least, for a possession. I speak of
the church and the cause ho loved. At
length in 18G9 he secured, tlnough the
Board of Missions, an appointment
which removed him to Salinas City,
Cal., where he remained ten years. It
was a good deal like many of life's
hopes and the lands of promise which
are seemingly opened unto us. Much
there is in them, so much that we would
not even think of going back, nor of
charging God with failing us; and yet
there's always something unfulfilled,
something that makes us think that un
less God lias some fuller, better thing
for us, or for some who shall come after
us, taking our work where we leave it,
the promise ha? failed us. But the
word of our God "upon which he has
caused us to hope," does not fail us.
God is too great a God not to love and
UEe us all all who try to servo Him
and save our work from utter failure ;
nay rather make it a part of His grand
success, which is surely coming.
There must have been good success
and much enjoyment in those years. I
am sure of that, although the outcome
was something like bitterness. And it
all came fl speak largely from impres
sions) from a man's being in a place and
with a people not yet prepared for him.
This is the condition of prophetsure in all
ages and among all people. It only
seems strange when it touches us.
But our
brother was not soured by the experi
ence, nor in any wise tumeu trom
religion on the church, but grew even
to the end in breadth and sweetneea
and charitv. He was one of thoso
who could carry himself helpfully aa a
member of the church, aa well a8 pas
tor, and was alway a tower of comfort
and strength to tho pastors with whom
he dwelt, and alway a Christian friend
and helper to the people wherever he
might be.
Mr. Wilson came to Washington ter
ritory (Waitsburg) in 1879, moved to
Dutch Flat in the spring of 1880, living
there through the hard winter of '80S1.
Ho came to The Dalles in the fall of '81,
about this time preaching at Weston.
He moved to Mill creek In March, '82,
living there until December, '91, when
he took up his residence in The Dalles.
He leaves a widow nnd three sons,
Lee, Parker and Juinnan, and one'
daughter, Mrs. B. S. Huntington.

as tho best methods of curing prunes for

ju'cogniiiig iimi many who arc
