This paper will tell sev

about 40,000 yards of dirt and rocks to be
removed. . Of this we are taking out
from six to seven hundred yards a day
and will increase this amount afterthe

tion work finished in two months from
now. The concrete woi k on the floor of
the npper canal will be but a short job
and our work is done and the canal will
hp. readv for the Dassaso of tnats. We
j .
know no reason why the locks should
not be open for traffic by the 1st of
March and we are doing all in our power
towards that end."
I shall only add to this statement of
Mr. Day that everything that came
under my observation, during the couple
of hours I spent in looking over the
works, indicated perfect good faith on
the part of the contractors. Messrs
Day may not have the locks open on the
letot March.butthey certainly appear to
think they will, and eeem to be doing
all in their power to that end, and my
own opinion is that they wil accoin
plish it. Hugh Goublay.
CONTRADICTION.
A remarkable exposition of human
nature is being displayed in our larger
and smaller journals in its most contra
dictory development. This is accom
panied with a snarlinees of temper, that
eeem s most unbecoming any sort of man
hood. We say manhood advisedly, for
we have not yet observed whether the
editorial sisterhood, have coincided with
the drift and spirit of these remarks.
Were it exclusively beloncins to them,
as it most assuredly is not, the world
would - say, "they growl because they
were not asked to the wedding." As it
is, we are forced to conclude these growls
must be a sign they, these editors, are
disHDDointed in their affections, finan
cial or some other kind. And even
granting this to be the case, "no would
hardly expect a full grown man, no
matter how badly he felt snubbed to
compare an American young ladv, of
good behavior, good education, with
nothing to be said against her presuma
bly except that she married whom ehe
pleased, to a dirty squaw ! For the
credit of American journalism, we hope
these things will stop, and that future
Englishmen or any body elso who can
wiu a bright American wife, may be
permitted to do so unmolested without
raising such a yelping halloo, as our
papers have recently been filled with so
largely.
Especially we hope that when a man,
bearing a name honored by many, dees
something the American people do not
fully approve of, they will not think it
becoming to shout after him "Your
grandfather was a Etable boy !" or any
other similar epithet. What if he was?
Have we not been trying for more than
a century in this country to prove that
"a man's a man for a' that?" Let us
live up to our professions, and hold
every man accountable for hia own per
sonality, be he descendant of canal boat
man, rail eplitter, tanner, or of "Jack
Churchill, the stable boy."
The Tacoma Ledger says "ffm. O.
Bradley had a splendid chance to be
governor of Kentucky this trip, but be
wasted it by declaring himself a gold
bug." He thought the "silver craze was
dead." The Walla Walla Union, in not
iug the above says Governor Bradley
must have had two chances and judging
from the returns the Union is right.

Arlington Record: Despite their
earnest protestations e have never
more than half suspected that The
Dalles is in favor of an open river be
vond their own incot porated limits
Possibly onr reasons for supposing that
they are averse to removing obstructions
f urthernp stream, are based upon the
assumpt'on that it would mean less
business and less money for The Dalles.
A very fertile conntry, which is now
tributary t them on account of th- ex
treme low rate they enjoy, would find an
outlet at Columbus, Wash., then again
the Sherman county trade, a large por
tion of which reaches The Dalles would
be transacted at the river. The trade
from Antelope and Princville will
naturally flow toward The Dalles, until
8uch time as that countrv shall be in
tersected by a railway line Ironi some
where and m some way connecting tnem
with the outside world. Oa the whole
it is impossible to understand that an
open river above the Uauea would in
anv wav benefit that citv. Attention
to their own selfish interests would
very naturally prompt, them to oppose
anv atteuipt.to open the river at Celilo
either by canal or portage. If they can
rise above their pecuniary interests and
sacrifice their own profits for the bene
fit of their less favorably eituated neigh
boring town?, their action in so doing
would surely be worthy of commendation.

Editor Chronicle: The Pendleton
Tribune quotes "Major Post as having
lately said that the locks at the Cascades
will not be open for a year or more, and
the statement will go a long way with
many who have noted with sentiments
bordering on disgust the numerous de
lays that have marked the progress of
this work for almost a score of years
Yet, possibly, Major Post does not know
everything and, whether or no, his
prophecy is at variance with a statement
made to me only three days ago by Mr
I. N. Day, one of the contractors, while
showing me over the works. Mr. Day
Baid in substance :
"Our contract, which covers sufficient
work to leave the locks open for traffic.
will expire next March. We have asked
for no extension of time beyond that
date and haye no intention of atking for
any, unless something should occur
altogether outside the line of probability.
Our firm has greater direct interest in
the speedy completion of the work than
any outside party. The government
holds back $150,003 of our money till
ertch time as the contract is finished.
We are now employing about 500 men.
Half of the last gate is in place and the
other half will be ia swinging order by
December 1st. The hydrtulic machinery
for operating the gates is on the way
here and a force of - men is already pre
paring the head work?, a n.ile and a half
from here. With ordinary, reasonable
weather all the stone work involved in
our contract can be finished in thirty
days. The same can ' be said of the
lower entrance to the canal, where a
large working 'force is making rapid
progress. The heaviest work is at the
coffer-dam, where there is a core of
Salem Salesman : The Dalles Chron
icle thinks "there is nothing that helps
a city, country or state like getting out
ot debt and keeping out," and the fact
is mentioned by that paper thRt the
semi-annual ftatementof Warco countv
recentb' published shows an improve
ment ot iflib.UUJ owr six months ago,
that euru representing the reduction in
the debt of that countv for the six
months since last March. These figures
are probably somewhat delusive, for
they cover the period ot tax collecting
time. iut the Chronicle is correct in
its general statement. Large county
debts furnish opportunities for the tying
up of funds that miht otherwise be em
ployed in enterprises of public benefit.
And the interest on them is a great drain
and burden. Snch counties as Wasco
and Marion should gt out of debt as
fast as they may, and then stay out.
