the 3-Mile road. A carriage team can
now trot from the bottom to tbe top
without losing any speed, so slight is
the grade. This latter improvement is
in line with the remodelled brewery
grade, which is another excellent piece
of work. At . the present rate of im
provement Wasco county roads will be
well nigh perfect within . five years,
which means increased prosperity alike
for the farmers and the townspeople.
RECLAIMING A DESERT.
Excellent Worn Mow Going: on In
. Umatilla County.
Some of the arid lands of Umatilla
county are being settled upon by a party
of men, who are putting in a ditch taken
from the Umatilla river, known as the
Baily ditch. The ditch is run over a
beautiful little scope of country, and it
is believed by all who see the growth of
vegetation upon the land that it will de
velop into a rich farming country. Al
though it takes a great deal of water to
irrigate that land, we cannot question
the quality of 'the land. Last year was
the first to be cultivated and all kinds
of garden truck was raised in abundance.
Potatoes, both in size and quality, were
almost unequalled in the state. All
kinds of fruit trees are being set out this
spring, as well as small berries, with
long rows of stately poplars, which are
being set out for wind-breaks. Several
dwelling houses are being built, some
splendid farm cottages and other im
provements.

Wants Flsk and the Colonel Promoted.
. Editor Chbonici-e : I have a propo
sition to make to those interested in the
immediate opening of the Cascade locks
that ought to meet the approval of every
Oregonian from Point Adams to Snake
river.". I see by the papers that Lieut.
Harry Taylor has been promoted and
ordered to take charge of some score of
government works in Washington that
the government never intends to finish.
Now don't you think it would be a good
idea for us to petition the secretary of
war to send Captain Fisk and "Colonel"
Day to keep Harry company. It will be
awful lonely for Harry away up on the
raging Stillaguamieh ot by the deserted
mud flats of the Swinomish: On tbe
"promotion" of . these gentlemen as
aforesaid, I suggest that tbe works be
turned over to the supervisor of road
district No. 1 for completion.

A Promise Faithfully Kept.
In our issue of March 12th last, Rev.
L. Grey requested the community to
withhold their judgment concerning tbe
charges made against him by a number
of ministers until be had an opportunity
to refute them, promising to do so in the
fullest manner. He has now fulfilled
that promise.
The council of the Lutheran church in
this city, in view of certain published
statements referring upon the character
of the Rev. L. Grey, recently called from
Oregon City to assume the pastorate of
the local church, have requested tbe
publication of tbe following testimonial,
which speaks for Itself:
Oregon City, April 7, 1896. .
To Rev. L. Grey:
Reverend and Dbab Brother : In
view of your departure from our city,
and the consequent ' severance of your
relation to the Ministerial Association
here, the undersigned, are instructed by
that body to tender you this testimonial
of our brotherly esteem and good wishes
for your future success in the Master's
work.
At your request we have made as
strict an examination as we were able to
do, into tbe charges recently published
in the secular press affecting your minis?
terial standing and personal character,
but as those making the said charges
positively declined to furnish us with
any .evidence, whatever, in support of
them, and as the official records, sub
mitted to us by tbe churches, served by
you in this vicinity and particularly by
the one in this city, vindicate you in the
most unequivocal manner, we find no
ground on which to question . your
standing in the slightest degree.. We
therefore bid you farewell with this ex
pression ot our fraternal confidence and
esteem, and commend you to tbe love
and fellowship of 'the brethren and
Christian churches in the mew field of
ministerial service, to which God in His
presence has called you.
On behalf of the Ministerial Associa
tion of Oregon City Ore.
A. W. Steyker, Henry Wall,
President. Secretary.
