Col. John G. Day and his son, Isaiah N. Day, -who have completed the locks at tbe cas cades, will now engage in a business that promises almost to revolutionize the transportation service of the Inland Empire, The purpose is to place on the Columbia river a fleet of steel-built steamers especially designed for swift water navigation, and also to be oper ated in connection with the proposed. boat railway, between Tbe Dalles Deschutes river. (Joionei J . U. uay, neaa oi tbe e prise, will leave for tbe East in a . few days, to visit tbe various shipyards.

Each vessel will be provided with screw propellers, and twin auxiliaries, the latter specially designed, with telescopic shields, so they can be readily operated in case of extreme necessity. One of the new boats will be put in service on the upper Columbia river; the other will be run between Portland and The Dalles, passing through the locks at tbe Cascades. . The purpose of the new company will be to engage not only in local traffic, but also in other industries, along the mid dle Columbia section, when business Justifies additional investment. - A NORMAL INSTITUTE.

In Monday's issue of TbeOregonian,an item from Gilliam county was published concerning the breaking down of the Leonard bridge spanning John ' Day river,' and the destruction of two freight agons with their loads, and the death ol five horses owned by Sam Grant. Tbe statement was also made that the bridge 'as owned by Malcolm Moody, of The alles, and that it bad been condemned everal years ago by the bridge inspect- rs. In justice to Mr. Moody, it is now tated that he bad no interest whatever in tbe bridge, either by lapse of mort gage or other way, and be is in no way concerned in the property. The mistake probably is due to the fact that some years ago Governor Moody .had an ac quired interest in the bridge over the Des Chutes river, but that structure has been torn oown and replaced by an en tirely new one. The bridge across the John Day r at Leonard's crossing '. bas been owned by W. Lair Hill and William Grant, for years past, and at no time has Mr. Malcolm Moody bad any interest in it. Oregonian. .As tbe. above was copied by Thk Chronicle, we cheer fully copy the correction. B track ay Lightning;. miles from this city on the border of tbe reservation, and bad turned bis team of fine grey mares loose to graze, for a rest ing spell, in the door yard. He took shelter from the etorm. A thunderbolt struck' one ol the mares within a few feet of the house and killed her instantly. She dropped rigid in death, not moving a muscle. A mouthful of grass which she bad gathered remained in her jaws. The hair burned slowly from ber body and tbe air was filled with the stench of burning flesh. The other mare, which stood by her mate, was knocked down by the shock, and she was also thor oughly singed by tbe lightning flash. Mr. Marsilliot and others in tbe house were affected for a time by the frightful shock, but they soon recovered, and ex perienced no serious results. Stock Shipping; Season. This is the season of the year when a great deal of stock centers at The Dalles for shipment. Cattle,' having fattened on the nutritou9 bunch grass of tbe country surrounding, are in prime con dition for the butcher's block, and are driven to Tbe Dalles stock yards for shipment either east or west; while sheep, relieved of their warm coat of wool, change their winter for their sum mer range by being driven to The Dalles for -shipment across the river. The 1,400 bead of fat cattle . which were shipped out of Tbe Dalles last night to Montana, were followed today by an equal number, purchased by Mr. Ben Snipes from cattlemen acroes tbe river. Both lots are destined for Montana. A third shipment of Klickitat county cat tle is expected in. a few days. The Regulator was busy yesterday forenoon in transferring 1,500 bead of ' sheep to Stevenson. They belonged to Mr. H. W. Wells, and are to be driven to Mt. Adams range. This is the second ship ment within a' week of sheep being driven to their summer range; the for mer shipment numbering 3,000 bead. Two carloads of horses, also, belonging to Geo. McCoy, were shipped to Troutdale yesterday. - In this city. Thursday, July 9th, to the wife of Mr. Thos. Kelly, a daughter.
