More or lejs complaint has been made
that the state portage railway at the
Cascade locks has not been operated for
some time. ., The facts as they exist are
reported in a Salem dispatch to the Ore
gonian as follows : ' ,
During high water this year, the
lower incline was washed out, which
stopped operation of the road. Since
that time efforts have been repeatedly
made by the board of portage commis
sioners to make connections over the
government roads, under control of the
contractors, as well as over the private
roads of Messrs. Day. At one time the
board bad assurance from one of the
Days that their private1 road leading
along the canal might be used by the
state, but within a day or two there
after tbe superintendent of tbe portage
road was notified that tbe permission
was withdrawn. , This withdrawal of
permission, as it is stated .by Messrs.
Day, grew out of the failure of the D. P.
& A. N. Co. to furnieh a bond indemni
fying the contractors against any causes
of action for damages that bad been
sustained or might be sustained by rea
son of blasting or other operations near
the lower boat landing.' The board has
been very anxious to have tbe portage
road opened, bet the superintendent re
ports that there is every reason to be
lieve the canal will be ready for user by
November 15th, and that therefore it
would be unwise to incur the heavy ex
penditure necessary to repair the port
age road, as the canal will be open in so
short a time.
In answer to inquiries .made by Secre
tary .Kincaid,' C. C. Hobart, superin
tendent of the portage railway at the
locks, has written : '' .
"I see no reason why the government
locks should not be so, far completed by
November 15th, or even before that date,
as to allow them to be opened for traffic.
Mr. Day, Sr.,' said September 5th, 'We
have made a contract with Captain
Fisk and obligated ourselves to have
them ready for business , by that date
and, if tbe weather is favorable, we will
have the eh done before that time. If
they are not finished by that time, it
will be our fault.' . Mr, Wiley, govern
ment superintendent, as well as the en
gineer in charge, are of the opinion that
the work is to be completed as soon as
possible." ,
At. the meeting of the portage com
mission this afternoon, Superintendent
Hobart was instructed to- take up the
tracks, froga, etc., from the state's road,
and put them ' away and rare for the
same. ". ' ' ; .
Lost His Hay and Barn. -
out into the yard arid made a cigarette
out of corn silk and paper, which was
about to burn his fingers when he threw
it down and thus started the tire, which,
besides three stacks of hay burned a
stable and corral and all Mr. Watson's
harness. The house was saved by a stiff
breeze which blew the flames in an op
posite direction. The little fellow gave
his.' parents a dreadful fright by biding
before they got out of the bouse, and for
a time they thought he had perished in
the conflagration ; but when the fire
wns at its height he dispelled their
fears by crawling out of a ditch near the
fire and running -towards the house.
The loss of his hay falls ; very heavily on
Mr. Watson, who is a poor, hard-working
man. Fossil Journal.

, Mr. W. M. Evans, agent of the com
mittee of the Oregon Industrial Exposi
tion, arrived today from Portland, look
ing out for exhibits for the exposition
which opens on Sept. 19th and continues
till Oct. 17th. He was much disap
pointed not to find Messrs. Schanno and
Whealdon, but saw Mr. Schenck, presi
dent of the Commercial Club, who
promised to call a meeting of the club,
as soon as the gentlemen returned.
Mr. Evans says he must depend on
Wasco county for exhibits, as the fruit
elsewhere throughout the Btate this
season is almost a failure, caused by the
continuous cold spring rains. Mr.
Evans while at Hood River actually
found orders from McMinville for apples,
which -seems a good deal like carrying
coals to .Newcastle, for McMinnville is
the center of bne of the most phenome
nal fruit raising districts of the state.
'. We are glad to be 'enabled to say that
Wasco county has almost its normal
yield of - fruit this year, and our fruit
raisers will .doubtless sustain .Oregon's
reputation at the state fair by liberal
contributions for. exhibition purposes.
It should be sent by the 12th in order to
reach the opening of the exposition.
'Mr. '.. Evans left , this, afternoon ;for
