The Columbia is rising slowly, and
this, coupled with, the wamerr tempera
tnre,'i8 causing the ice gorge to work
considerably this evening. It is liable
to. go out at any time, but may hold
until tommorrow. '
Parties coming in from Bakeoven yes
terday say that the Chinook took nearly
all the snow off the high country between

not been heavy in the country south of
us, and it is now about all gone.
The board of trustees of The Dalles
Commercial and Athletic Club met last

Captain McNulty came np from the
scene of the Dalles City disaster last
night. ' He reports the steamer as in
pretty bad shape, but thinks she may be
saved. The lumber bad arrived for
building the bulkheads and making the
repairs before be left.
The chinook ordered by the weather
bureau yesterday arrived all right, but
we failed to' get much benefit from it
here. It was a line shot, but carried too
high. The top of the hills across the
river are bare, while the banes are still
covered with snow, reversing the usual
order of things.
And Winans went to Hood River at
the beginning of the cold snap, and put
everything in shape for putting up 15,
000 tons of ice. The snow was cleaned
off the ice and it was all marked off and
steam up in the boilersat the elevator
when the chinook-. struck it, and in a
few hours the ice was gone.
The ice gorge still sticks, but is is con
tinually working. Last night it began
crowding in shore, breaking some of the
piling at the D. P; & A. '..US. Co.'s wharf.
It looked for a while as though the foot
ot the wharf would be carried away, and
teams - were kept at work nearly all
night moving wheat and merchandise
from the small warehouse. The ferry
boat is fast in the ice, and. it may move
down the river some distance should the
gorge go out.

duced during the performance of "Si

Thos. Marshall, which is sure to be en
tertaining! Of the play itself we need
only to say that tor. laughing purposes
there are no better, and this has-been
proven by the large audiences it always
attracts, and which is sure to be in at
tendance next Saturday evening Dec.
5th. The parade given by the famous
Pughtown fanners' band is great, be
sure and see it at noon. . .

Railroads and Their Batrons.
"
It is announced that one of the lead
ing western railroads has decided to es
tablish an industrial department, which
.will lend-practical aid to all legitimate
enterprises in 'the territory along its
line, and adjust freight rates for the
purpose of fostering industries and pro
moting the development of the country.
This is not a strictly phanthropic propo
sition, of coarse. The road expects to
profit by it in the way of rffcreased local
business, which must naturally follow
the increased prosperity Of the people
thus assisted. It is a new policy, how
ever, so far as the West is concerned ,
and the results will be awaited with a
good deal of interest. The western lines
are generally operated with principal
reference to the through traffic. Per
haps this is in some degree a necessity,
when the existing difference of tonnage
between the through traffic and . the
local traffic is considered ; but it cer
tainly tends to retard and discourage the
development of the territory through
which a road passes by subordinating
the interests of small communities to a
scheme that takes account mostly of the
competition iot the large amounts of
freight that are transported for long
distances.
There is reason to believe that these
roads might greatly increase their local
traffic and make it in time worth more
than the through, traffic. The English
roads are operated with a view to build
ing up business at all points that they
touch, and they find it profitable to cul
tivate friendly relations with all sorts Of
local enterprise. There is at least one
road in the United States the Pennsyl
vania which has always pursued this
policy, and its officials are able to boast
that if it bad nothing but its local traffic
to handle, it would still earn handsome
dividends. The Western country is not
yet sufficiently advanced to give imme
diate promise of such a result; but that
only serves to emphasize the importance
of using all possible means to stimulate
local trade and production. Every new
industry that is started, or every present
one that is fostered, on the line of a rail
road means a permanent addition to the
kind of traffic that is in the , long run
most renumerate. It is all very well to
struggle for the through business that
must be divided among a number of
roads, but the local business, after all, is
best worth getting because it represents
profits that do not have to be divided,
and that are not contingent upon any of
the various circumstances that govern
the other kind of traffic. St. Louis
