LIFE IN A RAILROAD CAMP.
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.

'THE CORPSE AIN'T DEAD."
Neither Is It Likely to Be And Oar
'Neiehuors Know It.
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."
