THE ORACLE A FAKE.
"Colonel" J. G. Day, who just
now is in extreme disfavor with the
people of Eastern Oregon, took part
in a spiritualistic exhibition last
week in Portland. During the even-
lnglquestions were asked and "Colo
nel" Day, the hero of the Cascade
JLocks, propounded this to the me
dium : "Will I rejoice when the
locks are open t" The answer came,
"You will, with everj'bodj' else."
"No other evidence is needed that
the medium is a fake, for an answer
further from the truth could not be
given. "Colonel" Day will not re
joice when the locks are open. In
the first place, it doesn't look as if
, tke locks are to be open, and so Mr.
Day will have no occasion to rejoice ;
and secondly, the opening of the
locks, if it ever should come, will be an
vent which will bring sorrow to the
Colonel, since it will take away a
perennial source of income to Mr.
Day and his stalwart sons. Will a
man rejoice when he is out of a job,
and a good one too? : Well, hardly.
Soft snaps like the Days possess are
not to be found every day, and
when a man has once his grip fas
tened upon one, he doesn't rejoice
. when compelled to let go. But,
Colonel, you are snfc for a good
while yet, and you and tle locks can
grow old together.
In this connection we can say
that, as stated upon the local page,
there seems to be another disap
pointment in store for an exasperated
people. It is given out that Captain
Fisk, of the board . of engineers, has
stated that the $20,000 appropria
tion, from which we hoped so much,
is not available for building the
walls in the inner lock, and is merely
"for t.llA nap onrl nnrnmmndfltiAn' rkf
the Days.; This statement has every
appearance., of the; truth, but steps
have been taken to confirm it. We
would not be surprised if it is so.
We Relieve the engineers and the
Days capable of going to almost any
extent in thwarting the wishes of
the people. 4 Our delegation in con
gress may nave been deceived as we
have oeen. '
Until the reputed statement of
Capt. Fisk is verified further com
ment should be withheld ; but this
much we are free to say, that the
history of the Cascade locks has been
a story of perfidy, broken promises,
and utter disregard, of the people's
interests. From . start to finish it .is a
dismal tale, and the culmination
can only be termed a damnable cat-
rage. " ' '
The recent political convulsions
in the Republican party in . Multno
mah county have settled, for a time
at least, any question of one-man
power, which has proven so .disas
trous, both to good government and
party organization. Joe Simon has
been beaten in a contest, the warmth
of which has never been surpassed in
the political history of Oregon
Simon has been an unattractive figure
in the political world. The species
of bossism which he represents is in
imical to republican institutions, and
the ; fact . that his hold upon the po
litical affairs; of . Portland has been
broken 'is a cause of satisfaction.
The men who have secured the ad
vantage should "guard ; against the
boss evil. If they set one man up
on a pedestal and allow him the
power which the modern political
dictator covets, they will encounter
the same uprising: which has over
taken Simon. :. People are getting
tired of cabals, cliques and combina
tions, and the day is surely coming
when municipal government will be
a matter of public concern, and not
piivate manipulation. "
SAVED BY A GLOVE BUTTON.
Moments That Were full of Peril and
Seemed Like Hours.
How much may depend upon a glove
fastening: was illustrated at one of the
Monson slate quarries in an adventure
which the person concerned would not
care to repeat, says the Lewiston Jour
nal. He was a derrick man, who stood
on the brink of one of the great chasms
from which the slate rock is hoisted.
His duty was to eatcJi hold of the big
hook depending from the end of the
boom'' as it : swung over the bank and
attach it to the crate to be sent back
into the pit. Standlng'upon the very
edg-e he reached out to catch tjie hook
which dangled near him'. It vas win
ter and he wore thick buckskin gloves.
The hook slipped from him as he leaned
out, but caught into the fastening 6f
the g-love. The swing: of the great
boom took him off his feet in an in
stant and carried him out into the gid
dy space with his life depending- on
the glove"s holding fast. His whole
weight was hung on that' button, and
there was a clear 15 feet of space be
tween him and the floor of rock be
low. The moments that passed before
the boom could be swung back over the
bank, seemed like hours to him, but
he got there, at last, safe and Bound.
t "A Kick for Each Kame, '-.
"Hang Theology" Rogers, the distin,
guished English philanthropist who
died recently at 77, got his nickname
from calling out "Hang economics!
Hang theology!" at a school board
meeting where "theoretical questions
hindered progress. 1 His independent
and energetic character may be J in
ferred from this story of his youthful
days: A new boy came to school dressed
in a light blue jacket faced with 'velvet,
white trousers and waistcoat, and a
turned down collar and frills. Itogers
went. up to him and asked him his
name. The boy replied: "I am Charles
&tuart Vane, Viscount Seahom, and my
father is the marquis of Londonderry.
Whereupon ' Rogers kicked him three
times, once for. Vane, once for Seaham,
and once for Londonderry. . .
