THE CANAL AND LOCKS.
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.

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. A friend recom
mended Dr. Kingis New Discovery ; it

The United States circuit court of
appeals has affirmed the decision of
Judge Bellinger in the case of Frank
Tracy against the Oregon Short Line and

plaintiff $4000 damages, and the court of

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." It should be borne in mind that
the grip is much the same as a very
severe cold and requires preciselj the
same treatment. When you wish
cure a cold quickly and effectually give
this remedy a trial. . 50 cent bottles for
