The Post, published at Washington, in its issue of the 14th inst. has the fol lowing concerning the Cascade canal , and locks : ; "The people of Oregon are in high spirits over the approaching completion of the Cascades on the Columbia river, which will open that stream to naviga tion," said Mr. I. IJ. Day to a Post re porter at the Ebbitt. Mr. Day is quite a young man of the hustling, enterpris ing Western type, and is one of the firm that secured the contract for com pleting the enterprise referred to by him "It is a work of vast magnitude," he said, "and means more to the inhabi tants of Eastern Oregon than can be well understood in this part of the coun try. The construction of the locks and canal involves a total expenditure of $3,- 500,000, the canal to be 3000 feet long, with locks and lift of twenty-four feet Pour massive gates are provided for, measuring 55 feet in height by 94 feet in width, being the largest lock gates in the world. . One thousand men are em ployed in the enterprise, which is carried on principally in the fall and winter, aa the work is annually submerged by the June floods remaining in that condition for about five months of the year. When the canal is finished it will give a nayi gable water-way from The Dalles to the Pacific ocean, a distance of 200 miles. "There are millions of acres of idle lands in the eastern part of the state, fertile and productive and capable of supporting a dense population. That section is alluded to in our country as the 'Inland Empire,' and it has hitherto remained in an undeveloped state chiefly from lack of transportation facilities The opening up of the Columbia river by ' the construction of this canal will bring about a change of conditions that cannot . fail to benefit this naturally favored ter . ritory. The climate is mild and equable, the summers not excessively hot, and , the winters much milder than on the Atlantic coast. The scheme for develop ing this country originated with Senator Mitchell away back in '75. At that time he was attorney for Ben Holladay, the then great transportation king of the Northwest, who had committed himself ' to the support of Mitchell for United States Benator. Subsequently Holladay was seized with senatorial aspirations himself, forgetful of his promise to Mitchell. The latter, nevertheless walked off with the honors and shortly after his election had a brief and spirited interview with his former friend. "Holladay sneering! y . said : 'You think you are a pretty big man now Mitchell, but what are you going to do for the people of Oregon when you get to Washington?" "Still smarting under the sense of in jury, Mitchell answered: 'One of the first things I shall strive to accomplish will be the building of a canal around the Cascades and give the people of in land Oregon the benefit of competing transportation rates against your rail roads.' 'The senator never forgot thas tiecla ration, and I think by January V1896 bis constituents will see a consummation of his long-cherished plan." Now that the senatorial question has been settled by the election-of Hon . Geo. W. McBride, the people will feel grateful indeed if they are given a rest They need it, and they have waited patiently for it for these forty days ; but the aftermath is worse than the afflic lion. The Portland Sun is mapping out a course of conduct for the new senator. which, it is perhaps unnecessary to Btate, has silver trimmings all over it Its dictation in that line is already mak ing an already-tired public weary. The Oregonian, on the other hand, is insist ing that McBride will "stand by th platform," and therefore recognize all money as being equally good, provided it is based on gold. We suggest that Senator McBride be given time to re- cover from the sudden shock to his nerves his - election must have given him, and that the public - be given rest. We have .. McBride, and McBride has the office; therefore we all have the office. Now then, let us give him time to pull himself together, and as for ns newspaper flendB, let us talk about . something good to eat, Jw res tie with spring poetry, decimate the early fish story, and cheerfully vie in seeing which community can prod jce the biggest egg or the earliest berries. The senatorial matter has lost its savor. Let the flavor of the plain, now that it is picked, be sufficient tin to itaelf. ' Let's all take a rest. Sheriff Sears of Multnomah county and Senator McGinn had an encounter in Portland yesterday. . Sears accused McGinn of sneaking a bill through the legislature reducing Sears' emoluments. McGinn, though surprised at being ac cused of trying to practice economy for the state, realized the enormity of the charge, and its lack of . foundation, and Btruck Sears in th face with his fist. Sears responded by striking McGinn on the head with his revolver. At this point bystanders separated them. Sears went into a pawnbrokers shop, probably to "soak his head," while McGinn, so the Oregonian says, went down to the Turkish baths, and soaked his. Marveloris results. From a letter written by Rev. J. Gun- derman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract : "I have no hesitation in recommending Dr King's New Discovery, as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist Church at Rivers junction she was brought down with Pneumonia succeed ing La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little in terruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them.

Ten days loss of time on account of sickness and a doctor bill to pay, is any thing but pleasant for a man of a family to contemplate, whether he is a laborer mechanic, merchant or publisher. J as O. Jones, publisher of the Leader Mexia, Texas, was sick in bed for ten days with the grip during its prevalence a year or two ago. Later in the season he had a second attack. He says: - "in the latter case 1. used Chamberlain'; Cough Remedy with considerable sue cess, I think, only being in bed a little over two days. The second attack I am satisfied would have been equally as bad as the first butfortheuse of this rem edy."
