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

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
