The boy awoke by the noise of a window being very cautiously raised, and in stead of shouting to his papa or pulling the clpthes over his head, made a break for the closet, where the gun was.

URGING ON THE WORK. Dalles Commercial Clnb Cascade Locks. and the I The Commercial Club was called to order at 8 o'clock last evening at the jclub rooms by President J. S. Schenck, Who stated the object of the meeting to be to hear the report of the delegates pent to Cascade Locks an February 11th, ana tafce suitable action thereon, ihere uoon Mr. A. S. Mac Alliater. chairman pf the committee, 'presented a -report, jlear in expression, complete in detail, xhaustive in information, and alto gether a careful and painstaking paper, embodying as well a resolution, the being adopted by the club without op position. Tbe report, which is quite lengthy, stated that "on Feb. 11th the committee met J. H. D. Gray, of the Astoria Cham ber of Commerce, and James Crawford, of the Vancouver Board of Trade, and to gether called on Messrs. Day and Lieut. Taylor. They . came to the following conclusions: That the contract work will be completed by March 1st; that the bulkheads at the upper and lower ends of the canal will be removed so as to allow the passage of boats within six weeks; that it is uncertain if the locks can be successfully operated without ad ditional work be done in the middle locks, in which there is no way to pre vent the loose rock and dirt from wash ing down, and thereby interfering with the operation of tbe lower gate by chok ing tbe valves, if this should happen, tbe operation of the locks would be sus pended until such time as suitable walls could be built to prevent such a condi tion. Lieut. Taylor, in explanation to the committee, said that the examination of the character of the rock was orieinallv made by boring, and that it was thought tbe rock was of sufficient firmness, but since the excavation it was found that it slacks when exposed to the air, mak ing it necessary to protect the banks with concrete work and masonry on both sides. The concrete work conld be put in ' at an estimated expense of $6, 000, which would be sufficient to protect the locks and gates until masonry could be put in. "Still another important feature is tbe protection of tbe locks, which are now endangered by any ordinary high water. It was recommended by tbe en gineers to the special session of congress of last year that a further appropriation of $413,000 be made by congress to rip rap the entire north bank of the .river between that and the locks, setting forth that any ordinary high water is likely to wear away the bank, composed of loose rock and dirt, and sweep away the labor ot years. That ot this amount $179,597 could be profitably expended during the E r notts ier Pruning Shears, Pruning- Knives, Budding Knives, Pruning1 Saws, Tree Pruning Shears, Bean Pumps. Myers Pumps, Sulphur, Lime, Salt, Dunne's Solid Sprays, AT PIER & BEJITOJI S fiscal year ending June 30, 1897. . That there is an unexpected balance of $3, 893.90, which with the 413.,C0O, would be sufficient to make the locks durable forever." In conclusion the committee offered the following resolution : . ''Resolved, That we, the Commercial club of The Dalles, Oregon, an organiza tion composed of business men, repre senting every interest and social faith, believing in the importance of this great work and the necessity of its early com pletion, join and invite the co-operation of all the chambers of commerce, boards of trade and commercial clubs of the states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho in a memorial to congress, and urge through our senators and representatives the immediate appropriation of at least $179,597 asked for by the chief of en gineers, and that it be made available and at once, and that a committee of five members be appointed to carry out tbe objects of this resolution. " A. S. Mac Allistkr,' Emil Schanno. "What will you do with' the commit tee's report, gentlemen?" asked Presi ident Schenck. Mr. Whealdon promptly, moved that the report be received and placed on file and that the resolution be adopted. The motion carried. The memorial to congress by tbe As toria chamber of commerce was then read. This memorial calls attention to the uncertainty of the opening of the locks, that agricultural, horticultural, wool, lumber and transportation inter ests are involved, involving the loss of thousands of dollars daily, and urges the urgent need of the appropriation of $179,597, which can profitably be ex pended for the fiecal year' ending June 30th, 1897. This led to a general discussion, par ticipated in by Messrs. Bradsbaw, Whealdon, Mac Allister, Laughlin and Schanno. Mr. Bradshaw believed that in the light of the report it was import ant to do tbe work at once for which" $6,000 estimate was made, and that the amount should be secured with the least possible delay. He believed that a com Conlinued on 4th pace. Awarded Highest Honors World's Fair, Oold Medal, Midwinter Felr. CREAM Most Perfect Made. 40 Years the Standard.
