lady-bugs to the fruit men in the Wil

service here. The first lot was received
here a year or two ago and now there

Saturday morning Percy Adams, of
Hood River, was driving home the owl
from the pasture. He had along his 22-
calibre rifle, and when a cow lagged be-
hind he would shoot in her direction,
the whistling of the bullets serving to
head off the cow or start her along. By
this means the boy saved many a step
But in trying to see how close he could
come to the cows without hitting them,
he missed his aim and hit the best cow
in the herd, striking her in a vital spot,
and she dropped dead. Glacier.

At the Locks.
Work at the Cascade Locks is progres
sing rapidly. Above the upper bulkhead
the guard walls are almost completed,
and the canal has been excavated to its
full depth, down to the water line so
that it can be completed very quickly
when the high water is over. Eight days
work on one of the gates completed one
section on one" gate, and work has been
commenced on the other which it is ex
pected will be completed in the same
length of time. This will make, two of
the three gates complete. Below : the
lower bulkhead the guard walls are
about completed, and a mass of heavy
stones is being placed on the upper side
of the upper wall to protect it from the
current of high water. When Gdvernbr
Lord and party was there recently they
were the guests of the Day Bros., who
assured the governor that if no unforseen
accidents happened, the canal would be
opened not later than March 1st and
possibly much sooner. The work is in
good shape, and as soon as the' sammer
flood is over it will be crowded to com
pletion just as fast' as men' and money
can do it. The Day Bros, have lots of
money tied up until the work is finished
and are just as anxious to get the
work completed as the people of
the Inland Empire are. We feel assured
that in less than ten months the long
delayed opening of the Columbia from
this point to the sea will have been com
pleted.' This will give a great impetus
to business here and will, also be bene
ficial to points east of us, as we will then
have terminal ra.es. At the same time
Eastern Oregon will never reach the full
measure of its prosperity until the ob
structions at this point have been re'
moved and the Columbia is made a free
highway to the sea.
Ing-alls on Gold.
"It is the most cowardly and treach
erous of all metals. It makes no treaty
it does not break. It has no friend it
does not sooner or later betray. Armies
and navies are not maintained by gold
In times of panic and calamity, ship
wreck and disaster, it becomes the agent
and minister of ruin. No nation ever
tought a great war by the aid of gold
On the contrary, in the crisis of the
greatest peril, it becomes an enemy more
potent than the foe in the field; but
when the battle is won and peace has re
turned gold reappears and claims the
fruits of the victory. In our own civil
war it is doubtful if the gold of New
fork and London did not work ns great
er injury than the powder and lead and
iron of the rebels. It was the most in
vincible enemy of the public credit,
Gold paid no soldier or sailor. It re
fused the national obligations. It was
worth most when our fortunes were the
lowest. Every defeat gave it increased
value. . It was in open alliance with our
enemies the world over, and all its en
ergies were evoked for our destruction
But as usual, when danger has been
averted and the victory secured, gold
swaggers to the front and asserts the
supremacy.
