xae Uregonian today announces a:
entirely new feature in the transporta
tion service of Oregon. 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. He
will order the construction of steel hulls
for two steamers especially designed for
Columbia river traffic, tbe plates and
ribs to be made of the highest-grade of
steel, so as to secure strength and light
ness. 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. -

- Mr. Moody Does Not Own It.
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. -
