A Dalles Boy Attempts to Correct m Jap and Gets Ioto Trouble Work on the new Snake River line is reported as progressing rapidly, and many contracts are nearing completion. Tfje average contractor's life is not one in clover by any means, as one of the many incidents occurring almost daily might illustrate. A young man, Chas. Snipes, well known in The Dalles, who is foreman on a large work a few miles below Grange City, tried to discharge one of his Japanese, or propound more active prin ciples as regards the use of the pick, into bis oriental mind. The men de murred, and trouble arose with a pace equal to the rise of the Snake these days. Used to having his own way in euch matters, Snipes acted promptly and without considering consequences. - He floored the belligerent, and it was like poking a stick into a hornet's nest. A loud cry, and over a hundred Japs at tacked him with picks, stones and shovels. Being unarmed, he was obliged to run. Down the grade to the river's edge, hotly pursued by the numerous emblems of Jap wrath, several of which took notable effect, he went, and thence to camp, while the head Jap held them back for the moment. Later in the evening they all got together, however, and after a long pow wow broke out afresh and came to Snipes' tent to renew: the attack. By this time he was mad in earnest, and it is eaid wanted to fight the whole crowd. Events crowded, and authentic history of the next few hours is very much as that of the dark ages. However, he was finally persuaded' to retire, and at about 11 :30 appeared at the camp of Norman Seaman, who is also quite well known in The Dalles, in a violent rage and rain storm, and to his dipgust learned that all of Seaman's men had' been on a rampage ' from about the same cause for the past three days, and he was just holding the fort and waiting 'for the next crd, to turn up. But in spite of this unpleasant situa tion there was no going further, for the night was dark and stormy and over a hundred Japs camped between him and the next white camp. So he doctored up his many cuts and bruises and re mained until daylight, when rage having again mastered judgment, he armed and went back to face his old enemies at home, and try to get order out of a very ugly chaos. lbat was tr.e last report, but let ns hope our friends have mastered the situ ation, which by the way appeared not to disturb their nerves as might of any ordinary citizen (not a contractor or rail road foreman; and that ' Japan is again at peace with the Snake river world.

Despite the wars and rumors of wars which are being waged against The Dalles, and the excitement wb:ch comes just so often when some pessimist gets it into his head that our city is gradually dying, and is only walking around to save funeral expenses, back of it all there is a strong conviction that "the corpse ain't dead yet," nor is it liable to be, though at the same time they realize we might have been more fully awake to our opportunities. ' Thus the Dufur Dispatch under the heading 'The Dalles Will Grow," aptly saye: "The Dalles was so long a trading point for euch a large territory, and from its unequalled situation 'jeograpically it had to do so little to hold the trade, that the possibilities of ever losing any great portion seemed so distant as to hardly be worth consideration. Now the mer chants at our county seat begin to rea lize their mistake and are showing an inclination to do something toward building up a manufacturing town. 'Though The Dalles might have been mucn greater than she is, sail her natural advantages are such that a little enterprise among the business men will make it impossible for the Columbia Southern or any other railroad to kill or badly cripple the town. "No city in the northwest is as favor ably located as The Dalles and with any thing like business cense within five years she will face all the- little shoe string railroads that are claiming to be town makers" to connect with The Dalles or go out of business." F. A. McDonald for Governor. In Thursday's edition of the Seattle Pob- Intelligei cjr we find the following concerning a tormer Dalles man, and one who has now a host of friends here, who would be glad to see him honored by being elected governor of our sister state: "Olympia saw the birth of the embrjo McDonald boom for the governorship. At the Jefferson day banquet at Tacoma it was incubated and now Democrats all over the state are talking of him for the nomination. They are saying, too, that he has strong friends among the Popu lists who would support him in prefer ence to anv other Democrat for the office. ' "Judge McDonald made a record at Olympia of which his friends are proud He was unquestionably one of the brightest men in the legislature. His ready wit was often in evidence and aa a debater on any question he was re sourceful in argument and facile in ex pression." Wood Wood Wood.
