A MUCH miTlTAl PLAN.
Now that it is likely the plan will he
recommended to utilize the water of the
Des Chutes for a canal at an expense of
only $1,000,000, a rivalry has sprung up
between Capt. W. 1 Gray and Capt.
Frank II. West.
Capt. Gray's plan provides for the use
of the water from the Des Chutes river by
means of a small canal from Celilo to
The Dalles. This canal, it is proposed,
will be above the level of the Columbia
at both ends. Boats will be locked up
into the canal at both ends, and after
passing through it would be locked
back into the Columbia. Thus far only
a few who are interested in the upper
Columbia river have learned of the an
nouncement that Captain Gray's plan
would be recommended, and this, to
gether with the assurance that the work
would be taken up and carried at once
to completion, causes them to feel very
cheerful.
Mr. West, in speaking of the matter
to a Portland reporter Saturday, said :
"In justice to myself I wish to say that
whatever of practical benefit and use
fulness may result from this plan be
longs in no sense to Captain William T.
Gray. The origin of the plan was
really this: During a visit made at my
house by Captain Gray, three or four
years ago, the conversation turned upon
the best means of obviating the difficul
ties of navigation existing in the Col
umbia at The Dalles. Not being famil
iar with the topography of that part of
the country, and knowing that Captain
Gray had a long experience as naviga
tor on the upper Columbia, I asked the
question whether in hi opinion it
would be practicable to bring the waters
of the Des Chutes or other streams
down to feed a surface canal, to which
he replied : 'I think it could be done.'
The surface canal at the upper entrance
to the locks at Oregon City, of which I
was superintendent for ten years, was
used to illustrate my plan, which virtu
ally covered all the points mentioned in
the present plan, credited to Captain
Gray. This surface canal 2,200 feet in
length, was planned and constructed by
that distinguished engineer, Colonel
Isaac W. Smith, at present superintend
nt of the Bull Run pipe line. Two
days after my conversation with Cap
tain Gray, the plans as suggested were
made public in The Oregonian over the
signature of William P. Gray, and after
ward in the We3t Side, over the same
signature. Upon reading the article at
our breakfast table, it was remarked by
one of the family that I should not al
low Captain Gray to deliberately 'steal
my thunder,' to which I replied that 'it
might never be thought practical, and
certainly would not until proper surveys
and measurements had been made.'
But now as the plan has attracted at
tention and approval, and Js about to
assume national importance, I think it
but right to tell from whatjdirection the
lightning came that ha? made ho much
thunder."
A Polk county farmer on being inter-
viewed about the extra session of the i
legislature to pass a law staying execu
tions for a year, hit the nail on the j
head: "As soon as it was known that
the legislature was to convene for that
purpose, the merchants throughout the
state would immediately refuse to give
credit, and would force collections.
They would be compelled to do this be
cause their creditors throughout the
East would take fright at the intention
of passing such a law and would crowd
them. Tiie result would be ruinous in
the extreme. Governor Pennoyer
knows well enough that no such law
will be passed, and he has done this all
for efl'eet. I think if you could hear
him talk to those whom he does not
protend to deceive, that you would hear
him chuckle over the matter."
OREGON FRUIT SHIPMENTS.
! A Cliniirn for 11 a to Cniture the Mar
Uit with l'enr.
Mr. S. A. Clarke is In The Dalles to
day looking after Bartlott pears. He
has information from Mr. E. T. Earl of
the Earl Fruit Co., that California has
now shipped all their Bartletts, and
that there will be a good market at bet
ter prices for Oregon pears. As few
canneries have been in operation Cali
fornia growers have shipped nearly all
their Bartletts east, and as they had an
unusually large crop of fruit, these ship
ments have been immense in quantity.
Four hundred car loads a week have
gone forward from California for a
month or more, of which the Earl Fruit
Co. have averaged over 100 cars a week,
a large proportion being Bartlett pears.
Mr, Clarke feels conlident that wheu
Oregon's Bartletts reach the cast, and
their line quality becomes known there,
the demand will be good and prices will
also be good, as our pears come after
California is done shipping, and we
therefore have the field to ourselve as
Pacific coast producers.
Mr. Schanno has been around con
siderably and reports that he found
a great many pears, and the question was
as to their being lit for shipment.
So Mr. Clark has come up and been
around to see as to that fact, and finds
all the pears on 3-Mile to be just at the
right stage for picking; also those in
town. So he concludes that all the
pears about The Dalles are ready for
market. Pears will ship well and ripen
fairly well long before they nave their
fall growth that is Bartletts will and
if the largest are picked those not so
large will come on fast and make liner
fruit for the tree being less loaded. Mr.
Clark has about two carloads to ship
from Candeloria fruit farm near Salem,
but this will not be ready for another
week or so.
He informs us that our plums striK'k
the largest tide of plum shipments that
went from California. Mr. Earl wrote
him to hurry shipments, because San
Jose and other late districts would soon
come along, and so they did, for they
came or went along with ours.
Mr. Earl wires him that there will
now be a good demand for both Oregou
Bartletts and late plums. He finds
hereabouts later varieties of the latter,
such as Bradshaw's Columbias. Hun
garians, that should be shipped with
pears, making mixed carloads, which is
better than to ship straight carloads of
any single fruit. He also finds many
fall Butter and Clapp's favorite pears on
0-Mile, and thinks these will soon It
ready to ship. It is probable that quite
a number of carloads of jears can !
loaded here with a fair prospect of find
ing a good market. Pears around Van
couver will be ready to pick for ship
ment soon, but Dalles growers will al
ways have an advantage in the fact that
their fruit will ripen earlier than that
west of the Cascades.
It is a work of education this year, for
fruit handling is quiteartistic. It is not
easy to secure the bestresultsfrom work
done by beginners and the fact that Mr.
McDonald shows that our plums sold
from o to -'0 per cent higher than other
similar fruit on the samedav the second
car from The Dalles was sold, i6 encour-,
aging. If our fruit brings anything this
year of panic and hard times we may J
hope to do well in better times to come, '
when hard times and panic are gone by.
We shall keep posted on the markets
east, so our readers can judge as to the
advisability of shipping Italian and
Silver prunes. The Earle Fruit company
believes these fruits caii be made to pay
better than to dry them. No Italians
are grown in California and they are
good eating fruit and a first-class keeper,
so can Ihj picked when almost ripe and
will carry well.

not keep up with the- nineteenth
century V You would not buy a

a century ago. Then why Bhould

As'great improvements have been
made "in pills as in steam engines.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets aro

or shock the system.
They aro purely vegetable and
perfectly harmless.
One little Pellot'a a laxative, three
to four are cathartic. They regu
late and cleanse the liver, stomach
and bowels quickly, but thor
oughly. They're the cheapest pill,
sofd by druggists, because you only
pay for the good you get. They're
guaranteed to give satisfaction,
