The present fine condition of the
roads enables merchants south of here
to get in their spring goods much
earlier than common, and are taking
advantage of the situation, a number
of teams having loft here today loaded

Prineville was a consignment of coal

If suffering with piles, it will inter
est you to know that De Witt's Witch
Hazel Salve will cure them. This
medicine is a specific for all complaints
of this character, and if instructions
(which are simple) are carried out, a
cure will result. We have tested this
in numerous cases, and always with
like results. It never fails. Snipes

The Great Tobacco War.
The head of one of the largest St.
Louis manufactories of plug tobacco
said today: About two years ago we
put on the market a brand of plug to
bacco, and whon we figured it out, we
found we had lost just seven cents a
pound. Battle Ax Plug Tobacco, I am
told, sells for one cent per pound less
than our brand, which would make the
loss on it nine cents per pound.
"Battle Ax," however, is superior to
the one we put out, and must cost more
to manufacture. ' Twenty million
pounds of Battle Ax plug tobacco were
sold, on which I believe' there must
have been a loss of at least ten cents a
pound, so on this item alone there
seems to have been a loss of $2,000,
000. From the above statement of a large
plug tobacco manufacturer, who -evidently
knows what he is talking about,
it would seem to us that the only one
who is benefiting by the Tobacco War
is the man who chews "Battle Ax,
for he is certainly getting the full
worth of his money every time he buys
it. N. Y. Herald,
One Minute Cough Cure is rightly
named. It affords instant relief from
suffering when afflicted with a severe
cough or cold. It acts on the throat,
bronchial tubes and lungs, and never
ails to give immediate relief. Snipes

APPROPRIATION DEMANDED.
Toe Commercial Club Considers the Cas
cades Locks Question.
A meeting of The Dalles Commercial
and Athletic Club was held Friday
for tiio purpose of receiving the
report of Messrs. MacAllister and
Schanno, the committee appointed by
the club to meet like committees from
Portland, Vancouver and Astoria, and
confer with the contractors and en
gineers in charge of the government
works at the Cascades, for the purpose
of ascertaining, if possible, at what
date the locks would be opened, and to
take such action as might be deemed
practicable. The report of the com
mittee was substantially as follows :
That on Feb. 11th, at the Cascade
Locks, they met Hon. J. H. D. Gray.
representing the Astoria Chamber of
Commerce, and Mr James Crawford,
of the Vancouver Board of Trade, and
tosrethor they conferred with "the
Messrs. Day, contractors, and -Lieut
Taylor, resident engineer in charge,
By them the committee was informed
that the contract of the Messrs. Day
will be completed by March 1st; that
the bulkheads at the upper and lower
ends of the canal will be so far removed
as to allow the passage of boats through
the canal within six weeks; that it is
uncertain if the locks can be success
fully operated without additional work
being done in tho middle lock, in
which there is no masonry to prevent
the loose rock and dirt from washing
down and thereby interferring with
the operation of the lower gate by
choking the valves. If this should
happen the operation of the locks
would be suspended until such a time
as suitable walls could be built to pre
vent such a condition. Lieut. Taylor
informed the committee that it is nec-
essary that these walls be protected,
and tnat temporary concrete worK
could bo put in at an estimated expense
of $6,000, which would fully protect the
valves and gates till such time as
masonry work could be completed, and
without any great delay to navigation,
This temporary work, he believes,
could be accomplished within six
weeks if an appropriation were im
mediately available.
Another important feature that re
quires immediate attention is the mat
ter of rip-rap work recommended by
the engineers in their report made to
Congress last year, asking an appro
priation of $413,000 to complete the
work in the middle lock and the bank
on the north side of the embankment
of the lock next to the river. This the
committee considers absolutely neces
sary, and as it is estimated that $179,
597 could be profitably expended dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 30,
1897, the committee recommended the
adoption by the club of the following
resolution:
"Resolved, That we, the Commercial
Club of The Dalles. Oregon, an organi
zation composed of business men, re
presenting every interest and political
and social faith, belieying in the im
portance of this great work and the
necessity of its early completion, join
and invite the co-operation of all the
chambers of commerce, boards of trade
and commercial clubs of the states of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho in a
memorial to congress, and uree
through our senators and representa
tives, the immediate appropriation of
at least $179,597, asked for by the chief
of engineers, and that it be made avail
able at once, and that a committee of
five members be appointed to carry
out the objects of this resolution."
i ne report oi tne committee was
adopted, and the resolution passed by
an unanimous vote. Messrs. W. L.
Bradshaw, N. Whealdon, B. F. Laugh-
lin, A. McAllister and E. Schanno
were appointed a committee to draft
resolutions urging congress to im
mediately make the appropriation
asked for by the engineers, and also to
invite similar bodies in the states of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho to co
operate, with this club in securing
action, that will terminate in the
speedy completion of the locks.
A MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS.
Immediate Action for the Completion of
. the Cascade Locks. Prayed For.
The committee appointed by The
Dalles Commercial Club to draft a
memorial to congress asking that the
work at the Cascade Locks be prose
cuted to an early completion reported
the following last Saturday, which was
adopted by the club:
"To the Honorable Senate and House
of Representrtives in congress as
sembled: "Your memorialists, The Dalles
Commercial Club, of The Dalles, Or
egon, through our Senators, Hon.
John H. Mitchell and Geo. W. Mc-
Bride, and our representatives, Hon.
Binger Hermann, and W. R. Ellis, res
pectfully represent, that from the best
information we have been able to
secure, the date of the opening of the
Cascade Locks of the Columbia river
to navigation is still a matter of doubt
and uncertainty.
"Large agricultural, horticultural,
wool, lumber ana transportation in
terests are involved, and we believe
thousands of dollars daily will be
realized by the inhabitants of the Col
umbia Basin as soon as this great work
is made operative, and the transporta
tion companies can depend on passing
their steamboats from the lower to the
middle Columbia; therefore your mem
orialists desire to urge upon the atten
tion of your honorable body, and pray
you will consider favorably:
J) irst, The urgent need of the ap
propriation of $179,597 asked for the
chief of engineers, U. S. A., whose re
port for 1895 says, 'and can be profit
ably expended in the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1897 to construct the walls
between the first and second locks of
the cascades, and to protect from the
powerful force of the falls the breaking
of the outer walls of the locks.
"Second, The importance of con
tinuing an organized body of mechan
ics and artesans who can economically
and expedtiously complete the work,
also the expense of housing and repair
ing the large plant required.
"Third, The great loss to commerce
should the locks 'remain closed for an
other year by reason of a few week's de
lay in making this appropriation, for
which we will ever pray."
The secretary of the club has been
instructed to have copies of the mem
orial sent to commercial bodies of all
towns along the river requesting that
they take immediate action in the
matter, also that copies of the mem
orial be forwarded to the Oregon dele
gation in congress.
The Hood River Maccabees.
The Regulator . left her dock at 7 I
clock - Friday " having ton board
sixty residents of The Dalles " on
pleasure bent, with mirth intent.'
Their destination was the grand ball
given by the Hood River Maccabees.
The weather was perfect, just such a 1
calm, bright evening as causes the
human soul to admire and worship
nature, and fully realize all the beauties
and grandeur bestowed by nature's
god. The boat glided peacefully -and
quietly down the grand old Columbia,
but its load of human freight was less
quiet. Merriment and fun was in
order, and every one on board exerted
every effort to make the most of the
occasion, and it is not probable that
there ever was or ever will be a pleas
antor journey made to the little city
renowned for strawberries, red apples
and hospitable people. When the
party arrived at Hood River they were
conveyed to the dancing hall, whore
they met nineteen couples from Cas
cade Locks, and all were royally en
tertained by the Macabees until the
hour for departure arrived. The trip
home was no less enjoyable than the
one down the river, James Benton and
Mark Long, the musicians, having
taken upon themselves the task of
driving sleep from the eyes of those
who had, during the evening, been
loyal to the sway of Terpsiehore, and
right well they performed their task.
The boat arrived at her dock at 4 A.
M., and all on board were unanimous
in voting that a pleasanter and more
successful dancing party was never
given than that they had just attended,
gived by the Hood River Maccabees.

much appreciated. ' The Belmont band

after which refreshments were served
by the members of the corps, and the

ent.

the closing of the mints to gold as well
as silver. Harper's Weekly predicts bv
1900 an annual gold yield of $300,000,-
000. "Will it be possible, then," it
asks, "for the nations to keep their
mints open for the free coinage of
gold? At the present time not more
than a third of the entire output is
consumed in the arts, and it hardly
seems possible that this demand can
Keep pace with the rapid increase of
production. A constantly increasing-
proportion, then of a steadily augu
mented total will seek coinage into
money. The possible result is obvious.
It would mean such a monetary ex
pansion or inflation as not even the
populistic dreamer has dared entertain
in his most Pefferian reveries.

THE CASCADE FOREST RESERVE
Citizens of Eastern Oregou Asking That
it be Thrown Open.
The closing of the Cascade Rango
Forest Reserve to the stock raisers of
Eastern Oregon, preventing them from
ranging their animals within its
boundaries, threatens to virtually an
nihilate one of the chief industries of
the Inland Empire, and those engaged
in stock raising will make a vigorous
effort to have the order of tho depart
ment of the interior closing the reserve
rescinded, so as to admit of stock being
ranged thereon. To accomplish this
end they had prepared the following
petition, which is being generally
signed, and will be forwarded to the
department:
"To the Hon. Hoke Smith, secretary of
the Interior:
"We, the undersigned petitioners,
respectfully represent: That we are
citizens of the United States, and of
the state of Oregon, residing in that
portion of said state lying east of and
contiguous to the Cascade Mountain
range; that the section mentioned is
devoted almost entirely to stock-raising,
and being remote from railroads
and markets, said industry is the only
one to which the country is adapted or
for which it can be used. That tho
plains of Eastern Oregon, or at least
of that portion herein mentioned, are
arid, and cannot be utilized for pastur
age during the summer months. That
heretofore, and ever since the growing
of live stock in said section was begun,
those engaged in that industry have
bee accustomed to pasture their stock
upon the eastern slope of the Cascade
mountain range during the summer
months. That the industry has stead
ily grown until it has become of vast
proportions, and is the means of liveli
hood of a great numbor of people.
That by reason of the convenience of
the Cascade mountain pastures, a
great number of steckmen bave located
government lands, near said mountain
range, and have made valuable and
permanent improvements thereon,
building themselves comfortable homes
and barns and enclosures for the proper
caring for their stock during the wip
ter months. That the establishing o,f
the Cascade Range Forest Reserve has
not only deprived them of the afore
said summer pasturage, but as it ren
ders their business impossible, vir
tually confiscates their lands, improve
ments and homes, since they are
valuless without the usual summer
pasturage. That as almost the entire
population of the section of country
Darned is dependent directly or indi
rectly, upon the stock industry, the
closing of said Cascade Range Forest
Reserve to pasturage by stock will re
sult in financial ruin to almost the
entire population thereof; and will
cause the abandonment of many homes
and much valuable improvements.
That the people of the Willamette
Valley and those residing on the west
ern slope of said Cascade mountains,
are not interested in or affected by
conditions on the eastern slope thereof.
"Wherefore your petitioners respect
fully pray that you so modify the rules
and regulations provided for govern
ment and management of said reserve
as to permit the pasturing of live stock
on all of said reserve, except that por
tion lying north- of the Barlow wagon
road west of the summit of the Cascade
mountain range. And your petition
ers will ever pray, etc.
ACCIDENT AT THE LOCKS.
Dennis Banneline Fatally Injured by
Being Bun Over.
Cascade Locks, Fob. 23.
Yesterday morning shortly before
the 7 o'clock whistle was blown, Den
nis Hannehne, a laborer, employed
about the stone shed north of the
canal, mot with a serious accident while
endeavoring to cross the track ahead
of one of the small yard locomotives.
He was standing close to the track un
til the engine was within about 10 feet
away, when he suddenly started across.
As the engine was backing down
quite a steep grade it was impossible
to stop until the tender had passed
over his body injuring him frightfully.
He was immediately picked up and
carried to the company hospital where
upon examination it was found that it
would be necessary to 'amputate one
limb, which was done and the patient
was taken to Portland on the Dalles
City. As he was no doubt injureduin
ternally no hopes are entertained for
his recovery No blame is attached to
either fireman or engineer.
Hannehne died at St. Vincents hos
pital in Portland Saturday" from the
effects of his injuries, after having un
dergone a second operation. He was
a single man, a native of Ireland, and
had no relatives in this country.
vv orics on tne locus is progressing
slowly with about 175 men employed
ihe dredger has resumed operations
and is doing good work. One gang at
work concreting two gangs at rip-rap
ping are also making a showing. The
rumor among he men is that the pre
sent gang will be employed for at least
three weeks yet.
