that the days were delightfully epent,
that the party gained in health and rest,

An appropriation for construction of a

who is well posted regarding the out
look for Oregon river and harbor legis
lation, pending, and to be inaugurated.
The canal, Mr. Ellis eaye, will be about
13 miles long. But as there is considera
ble of an eddy along the conree of the
route, much cutting away of ground may
be avoided, thus making two canals in

thrown out of employment b reason of
these industrial C3n6olidatious, and the
loss falls directly and mainly upon hotels
and railroads, and th .ge depending upon
them for a livelihood. A loss of fully
$ 500,000 a day is being subtracted from
the receipts of these institutions, and
the item is of sufficient magnitude to be
taken into serious account by those con

LIVELY FIRE DRILL.
Five Streams Play on Wasco Warehouse
Pressors 84.
That Dalies people are Interested in
their fire department (and they have
every reason to be) was proven last
evening by the number who witnessed
the teet driil at the warehouce. One
might have thought Dewey bad reached
the city sore enough, (and it certainly
was dewey for a time) judging from the
procession which followed the depart
ment np Second street.
' "The "procesh" was headed Dyvour
new band, which furnished marching
music for the following companies:
Mt. Hood, Jackson, East End, Colum
bia, South Side and Hook and Ladder.
While each company made a good show
ing, we must mention the new South
Side. No. 5. which turned out in full
fcrce, only three members being absent,
one being ill and two in Portland. If
appearance stands for anything the east
hill is safe in case of fire.
Marching at once to the Wasco ware
house, the "boys" went to work in
earnest, inspired by the strains of the
band, and' soon five streams of water
were playing on the building as lively
as if the whole thing was in a blaze.
The drill wbb for the purpose of testing
the pressure since the new plugs and ex
tra pressure has been put in. The engine
was stationed at Skibbee's corner, and
with 2500 feet of hose in use and five
streams two hose attached at the corner
of Third and Taylor, two at Second and
Taylor, and one at Second and Monroe it
was determined that eighty-four pounds
pressure could be obtained. This is a
large per cent over what we conld depend
on before the new system was put in,
and East Enders feel a great deal safer
than formerly.
" The test being made, they proceeded
to the engine, where occurred a test in
which the steamer was tried against the
pressure obtained from the plug. This
time Engineer Brown waft outdone and
the plug came oat ahead.
The East End has always seemed to
be the place to be dreaded, on account
o' fire, as has also that district on Second
street between Court and Union. We
understand that in case of a fire in the
latter section eight streams at least, and
probably eleven, could be turned on at
once, eo that that section is not to ' be
dreaded as a fire trap so much as it has
always been.
The board of delegates are much en
couraged over the outlook for a new
alarm system, chemical engine, 'etc.,
and we expect to hear encouraging news
from them soon. Let us assist them in
every manner possible, for their efforts
are only for our benefit, their services
being given gratis.
We owe much to our fire department;
let us keep this ever in mind.
One View of the Situation.
The Chronicle has never so far been
guilty of taking a pessimistic view of
matters in general, but, variety being
the "spice of life," we maybe excused if
w-p deviate for once at least, and look at
the river question on the dark side, thus
giving ourseKes sufficient reason for be
ing thankful that tne weather still re
mains cool and hoping that it may so
continue. .
While q lite a number of experienced
river men predict that there will be no
unusual high water this year, there is a
probability, or we may say possibility,
of the river reaching the '94 mark. We
have, so far, had no summer weather.
The moon changes for warmer weather
next Thursday. On Tuesday the river
at The Dalles will be 31 feet. Suppose
we should get fifteen days hot' weather
(and this is not at all improbable) with
the amonnt of snow in the mountains it
would be an easy thing to get a raise of
IK per day, or a 224 foot riee above
Tuesday's mark, making 53) feet at
The Dalles, pretty close" to the '94 mark.
Should the weather continue cool, of
course there will not be much danger of
the river reaching the above figuree;
but in the meantime let us cease "kick
ing" at the . weather, the weather
prophet, etc., when we realize that this
is perhaps our only salvation from a
flood. .
Down the Columbia.
Engineer Strack and White, with a
fall crew of well equipped railway sur
veyors, started a line of survey down
the north side of the Columbia river, be
ginning at Paul F. Mobr's old ware
house. Last Saturday the same crew of
surveyors was seen in the vicinity of
Celilo flats, on the exact line of Paul F.
Mohr's right of way by Klickitat's
coroner, William Hart, who was in that
vicinity on official bueiness. Mr. Hart
says he asked no questioas, but he ascer
tained from one of the crew that there
was abundant capital behind the preeent
party in the field.
Another theory of many people is that
the survey party is in the field to carry
out the plana of Paul F; Mohr and Dr
Blalcck. Further, that the plans of
these two gentlemen have been con
BOlidated, and that a quiet meeting of
the two contending forces waB recently
held in Spokane, and that the meeting
brought about the formation of a brand
new company, composed of some of
Spokane's millionaire mine owners, who
are known to be men who have pushed
to profitable development great enter
prises. East Oregonian.
