Work on F. H. Rowe's new residence
has been commenced under the super
vision ofJklr.'H. B. St. John. The
building is to be a two-story cottage
with mansard roof, and will cost $2,000.
Cloud Cap Inn, at the base of Mt.
Hood, will likely be connected with
Hood River by telephone this season.
Messrs. W. A. Langille and G. E.
Williams are at present surveying the
route of the proposed line.
Photographs of the upper end of the
canal at the Cascades were taken the
first of the week, showing the dredger
scows and Sadie B. lying in a channel
100 feet wide where the upper bulk
head was formerly.. The chan nel lead
ing into the canal is now virtually
completed, and but little work will be
required to clean out the canal and re
move the lower bulkhead, so if our
delegation in congress will get a move
on themselves, the locks may yet be
operated this season.
The Degree of Honor is fast gaining
the reputation of holding the pleasant
est sessions of any of the fraternal or
ganizations in the city. Every other
week the "Fern Leaf," edited by some
member of the degree, proves an at
tractive and pleasing feature, and the
paper edited by Mrs. G. G. Gibons,
which was read in the lodge last even
ing, was fully up to he standard, be
ing replete with lodge news and
spirited local hints. Besides the social
features ot the session last night, con
sisting of the paper, a select reading
by Miss Sterling and several- rendi
tions by the Degree choir, the regular
routine lodge work was conducted and
two candidates were initiated.
Is it "overwork" that has filled this
country with nervous dyspeptics?
that takes the flesh off their bones, the
vitality from their blood, and makes
them feeble, emaciated and inefficient?
No. It is bad cooking, overeating of

the system itself and digesting other

sources, and the surest way to secure
an increase of population is to let the
resources of the county be known
abroad. The Dalles Real Estate Ex
change have prepared a very complete
description of Wasco, county, in pam
phlet form, for distribution. Parties
desiring copies of this ps-mphlet to
send to friends in the east who desire
to learn something of Oregon, will be
supplied by calling on any member of
the exchange.
Major Harper, agent at the Umatilla
Indian agency, has announced that,
during his visit in Washington recent
ly, he brought up before the depart
ment the question of paying the In
dians some of the money due them on
account of sale of reservation lands.
In response to the request he preferred,
the department consented to pay $25,
000. This amount will be transmitted
during the course of the next throe or
four months, and will give about $25
to each reservation resident who has
tribal rights.
Mr. Judd Fish, of the Umatilla
House, is eve.r anxious to accommodate
the guests of the house, and spares
neither pains nor expense to provide
for thmr convenience. He recently
learned that this high, dry climate was
detrimental to persons with weak
lungs, and at once purchased a lung- j
tester for the benefit of his guests,
Sheriff Driver, Mr. Harlan, of the
Chronicle, and this pencil pusher were
given an opportunity to test the ma
chine, and heartily recommend its use
by parties with weak lungs.
The Oregon delegation in Congress
have at last decided on a plah for
action in reference to the Cascade
timber reserve, which they believe will
prove satisfactory to all parties con
cerned. They have recommended to
the interior department that a park
be established at Mt. Hood, one at
Mt. Jefferson, another at Crater Jake,
ana tout the remainder of the reserve
be thrown open. Such an arrange
ment would throw open the best part
of the range in the Cascades, and
should be satisfactory to prospective
settlers and stock raisers.
Wordhas been received here through
private sources that the democrats of
Crook county will ask that Hon. T. M.
Baldwin be elected by the state con
vention as one of Oregon's delegates
to the national democratic convention
Air. .Baldwin would . certainly be an
able representative of Oregon demo
cracy in the national convention. He
is at present a member of the state
central committee and chairman of the
democratic central committee of Crook
county. We would most respectfully
ask that the delegates from Wasco
county in the state convention1 give
Mr. Baldwin their support.

the Baker City Democrat. They are
unalterably on a gold standard. The

MK. GOUKXEY'S LECTURE.
Civil and BelifTioos Liberty Against A. P.
AiBin.
The seating capacitv of the First
Baptist church was taxed to its fullest
capacity last bight by the audience
who assembled to hear Mr. Gourley's
lecture on the aboye subject. The
speaker clearly defined his position as a
Protestant, having nothing in common
with the Roman Catholic church ex
cept that he desired to have extended
to the Catholics all privileges and
rights extended by the constitution to
other Christians. Mr. Gourley very
forcibly denounced as false some of the
statements made by A. P. A. lecturers,,
regarding the methods adopted by the
Catholic church in dictating to its
members in temporal affairs, - and pro
duced the writings of those high in the
councils of the church to prove that the
clergy assumed no authority over the
members - in anything outside of
masters strictly spiritual.
The statement that Catholics are
not loyal and patriotic citizens, he
ridiculed, as being too absurd to be
credited, and submitted as proof of its
absurdity the fact that in all of Amer
ica's wars, Catholics have figured
among our bravest soldiers and most
valient officers, non of whomhad ever
flinched when duty called them into
hottest of the fight to defend the na
tion's honor. : t . " '
The American Protective Associa
tion he branded as an un-American in
stitution, an offshoot of Irish Orangism
and knownothingism, dangerous to the
free systems of this country, and an in
stitution calculated to create dissen
sions and discord. . .. '
, Mr. Gourlay's lecture' throughout,
was an able defense ot the principles
he espouses, anda.severe denunciation
of the doctrines promulgated by the
A. P. A., and showed the speaker to
be a close reason er and careful student.
The law provides that "in order that
the children in our public schools shall
assist in the work of adorning the
school grounds with trees, and to stim
ulate the minds of children towards
the benefits of preservation and per
petuation of our forests and the grow
ing of timber, it shall be the duty of
the authorities in every public school
district in the state to assemble the
pupils in their charge on the above
day in the school building or elsewhere,
as they may deem proper jind to pro
vide for and conduct, under the general
supervision of city supeintendents,
county superintendents, teachers and
directors or other school authorities
having the general charge and over
sight of the public schools in each city
or aistrict, to nave ana noid sucn ex
ercises as shall tend to encourage the
planting, protection, and preservation
of trees and shrubs, and an acquain
tance with the best methods to be
adopted to accomplish such results."
The state superintendent, in a circu
lar letter, reccomends as follows:
"It is very much desired that Arbor
Day exercises be of such a character as
to awaken and build up an interest in
such school work as will be greatly to
tne advantage oi . tne entire com
munity. "W hile it is not deemed advisable to
construct any special program of ex
ercises, it- is very much to be hoped
that each school will adopt such meas
ures as will meet the purpose of the
day in that community. These exe'r
cises are not designed simply to in
terest the school children, though that
is prominent in all the plans, but it is
also very much to be hoped that the
general public may become duly inter
ested in the day.
"I would suggest that . the teachers
of the various schools in active opera
tion on Arbor Day throughout the
state shall arrange a plan of exercises'
that, in their best judgement,' will
awaken an interest j.n all pupils. The
teacher should state to the school the
purpose of such day as contemplated in
the legislature enactment. The plant
ing and caring for trees, the great
benefit they are to any individual com
munity, and also to the state and na
tion at large; also teaching the pupils
the advantage of ornamenting the
grounds in the way of building up a
proper spirit of state and refinement.
The community at large needs to be
made a part of-the day's services, be
cause of the benefit it may be in the
way of awakening their interest in
the forest, groves, and' flowering
plants. Nature is ready to assist us in
beautifying our homes and our school
grounds, but will seldom ever do that
work with out our co-operation."
Hon. Troy Shelly, school superin
tendent of Wasco , county states jthat
he heartily sanctions these recommen
dations, and will gladly receive and
publish reports of Arbor day exercises
from all schools. ,
"Thy will be done," and bless Him
through our tears, for we would not
have it otherwise as we know "Earth
is poorer for her going but heaven
is richer."
Resolved, That we praise our Father
for that Christian faith and strength
which armed our sister with courage
to look without dread into the "un
veiled face of death" and in the last
hour sound the note of triumph," All
is Well."
Resolved, That we, the members of
the Good Intent Society, pray the
Lord for the harvest that He raise up
some one of our number upon whom
the mantle of our departed sister may
fall and show that God buries His work
men but carries on His work.
Resolved, That we kneel with the
grief stricken husband at God's altar
and say, "the Lord gave, the Lord hath
taken away, blessed be the name of the
Lord," whose mercy endureth forever,
and whose voice is ever whispering to
the disconsalate, "I love thee, I love
thee, pass under the rod."
Resolved, That our secretary be in
structed to spread these resolutions on
the records of our Society, and request
their publication in the Chronicle and
Times-Mountaineer, and a copy be
sent to Mr. Henry Taylor.

"frrtjr.Ati'iMMEiATgw -
Senators Mitchell and McBrlde Will Give
Their Immediate Attention to the
Cascade Locks.
In reply to letters addressed to the
Oregon delegation in congress by a
committee of The Dalles Commercial
Club, consisting of Messrs. W. L. Brad
shaw, A. S. MacAllister, B. F. Laugh
lin, Emil Schanno and N. Whealdon,
Senator Mitchell replies as follows:
Washington, D. C, March 9, 1896.
Gentlemen: Pardon a little delay
in responding to your communication
of February 24, addressed to the Ore
gon delegation, inclosing copy of a re
port made by a committee of The
Dalles Commercial Club, appointed to
investigate the proposed opening of
the canal and locks at the Cascades of
the Columbia river, and also resolu
tions embodied in report adopted at a
special meeting of the club February
21, 1896.
You may be assured the Oregon dele
gation have not been asleep in refer
ence to the importance of doing every
thing necessary to be done, and which
it is possible to do, in order that the
canal and Iocks at the Cascades may be
opened to traffic at the very earliest
possible moment. The delegation
has consulted fully on the subject, and
we are now awaiting a report, which I
expect in a day or two, from the war
department as a basis upon which we
hope to be able by an emergency bill
or joint resolution to secure whatever
money is necessary to protect the
works at the Cascades and that will
permit the same to be opened to boats
at a very early date.
It would not be possible to get
through a joint resolution or bill for
$179,597 in advance of the river and
harbor bill; nor does the department
regard this amount as necessary im-
of space at a rate of two or three mil
lion miles a minute faster than it was
approaching, says the Oregonian.
Perhaps the engineer thought he was
not running at a high enough rate of
speed to hit the earth as hard as he
wanted to, and so he has gone off into
space to get up more steam, and will
come back a-kiting. This will take so
long that the present generation will
not be likely to see the crash, from an
earthly standpoint, and so it is not
worth while to lay awake nights think
ing about it. A scientist was up all
the night of the 13th watching the ap
proach of the comet, and says he saw
it when it turned about, and that when
its million miles of tail swung around,
it gave a crack like a whip as it
straightened out. And he plainly saw
the fur fly. It is fortunate that comets
and prizefighters are not numerous,
as the anxiety about tnem would make
life unbearable.

NORTHWESTERN IMMIGRATION.
Home Mannfactorlng.
The fire-proof buildings that will
be erected in The Dalles during the
summer will call for a large quantity
of brick. Recognizing this, and be
lieving that home demand should be
supplied with home produces as far
as possible, City Marshall Blakeney
has purchased the Max Blank brick
yard, and will at once begin making
preparations for burning, all the brick
that will be required for the buildings
here. Mr. Blakeney's enterprise in
this direction is certainly commend
able. His plant will give employment
to from twelve to fifteen men all sum
mr, and besides will keep large sums
of money at home that would otherwise
go abroad. Mr. Blakeley has sent for
L. B. - Rei, an -experienced brick
maker, to take charge of the plant,
and as soon as ho arrives active opera
tions will begin on the yard. If others
would display a like enterprise, and
establish - plants for manufacturing
such articles as can . be successfully
made here, The Dalles would soon be
come the manufacturing center of the
Northwest.
Major McNeill Has Returned.
Receiver E. McNeill, of the O. R. &
N. company, has returned from a trip
to New York wither he : went some
weeks ago to assist in the reqrganiza
tion of the O. R. & N. company and
the placing of the road on a sounder
footing. . All of this Major McNeill
was able to accomplish and it is ex
pected that the road will soon be taken
out of . the hands of the receiver.
When this occurs Major McNeill will
no doubt . be made general manager.
He has proven himself a capable man
and his services could scarcely be dis
pensed with even if the company were
so disposed. ' .

WASHINGTON A FOOR SFELLEB.
The Father of His Country Was Not a
Lexicographer.
General Washington, although- the
greatest of all Americana as a soldier,
patriot and statesman, never would
have acquired fame as a compiler of
dictionaries or grammars. His spell
ing was below the standard established
by Noah Webster, his punctuation was
faulty, and his use of capitals was reck
less,, but these shortcomings do not
detract from the brilliancy of his many

St. Patrick's Day Entertainment.
The assembly rooms of St. Mary's
Academy were filled to their utmost
capacity Tuesday night to witness the
entertainment given by the students o(
the academy. The stage that had been
arranged was beautifully decorated
with pqtted plants and ivy, and inter
woven among the decorations were the
mottoes "Erein's Champion, Saint All
Hail" and "CaedMeflle Faithe." , The
stage presented a pretty appearance,
though no prettier than were the bevy
of students who composed the chorus
rendering the opening piece, 'A Gar
land liay we Twine." The pro
gramme, which has been published in
these columns, was rendered through
out in a manner that bespeaks much
for the instruction received at the
Academy. The students rendered
thejr various parts so perfectly as to
indicate that they have reoei ved the
most careful instructions, and dis
played a thoroughness .hat is rarely i
observed. The ; drama "Through
Clouds to Sunlight," a sad story of a
child's devotion to an elder sister, was
well rendered, and the happy ending,
in which the the one wronged is proven
innocent, and the' erring one is for
given, was well received, but the final
number. tableau representing
Christ Blessing Little Children," was
the most pleasing event of the evenings
No prettier subject could have been
conceived, or no more fitting termina
tion, of so. pleasant an entertainment
could have been chosen.
Fully 100,000 New Settlers Expected
Within the Next Four Months.
A. E. Johnson, a well-known steam
ship and immigration agent of an
eastern company, makes the prediction
that there will be not less than 100,000
new-settlers brought -into the north
west country by the time the summer
comes. The expectation for immigra
tion this year is that the best sort of
results will accrue from the big im
migration convention which was held
in St. Paul in November.
Immigration bureaus extending
from the Dakotas to Idaho, Montana,
Washington and Oregon, report an
increased' demand for information con
cerning the country, and the stimu
lated activity in this business cannot
help but result in good to -alL That,
at least, is the view taken by Mr.
Johnson. . The influx ot new comers
is not confined to foreigners, but there
are a large number of easterners on
the wing. The Great Northern re

Death of an Aged Lady. -
Mrs. Mary Lacy died at her residence
on Fourth street at about 7 o'clock
yesterday evening. Mrs. Lacy has re
sided in The Dalles some forty years,
and for the'past eight or ten years has
lived alone, seldom leaving her home
more than a few blocks, rarely going
farther than the Catholic church, at
which she was a regular attendant,
and her only pleasure apparently being
the consolation she. received from a
strict adherence to her religious be-,
liefs. Although possessed of consider
able property, she was very frugal, in
dulging in few comforts of life. - Mrs.
Lacy was probably 80 years of age
and had no relatives ' here. The
funeral will be conducted from the
Catholic church at 9 A. M. tomorrow.

encouragingly of the matter :
Washington, D. C, March 6, 1896.
Dear Sirs: I beg leave to acknowl
edge the receipt of your letter ad
dressed to the senators and represen
tatives from Oregon in congress, en
closing a copy of a report made by a
committee of The Dalles Commercial
Club, respecting the opening of the
locks at the Cascades, Columbia river,
together with memorials to congress
from the Astoria Chamber of Com
merce and The Dalles Commercial
Club, representing the urgent need of
an appropriation of $179,597.00 for the
continuance of the work upon the
locks, also directing the attention -of
congress to the great loss to commerce
that would ensue should tne locks re
main closed for another year by reason
of a few weeks delay in making said
appropriation. I. note also your sug
gestion that at least $10,000 of said ap
propriation be made available at once
so that the operation of the locks may
not be delayed; and your request that
the Oregon delegation urge upon the
secretary of war . the importance of
opening the canal for use for the pas
sage of boats, if consistent witn its
safety,, during the coming wool and
heat season of the present year.
In reply I beg leave to say that the
matters referred to ia your letter and
in the report and memorials enclosed
therewith, have already been consid
ered and discussed by the -members of
the Oregon delegation in congress, and
that we have been and are in favor of
continuing the work upon the locks in
accordance with the recommendation
of the chief of engineers, and in favor
of the use of the locks for the passage
of boats at the earliest date practica
ble. .To this end, therefore, -we shall
take such action as, under existing
conditions, we shall deem expedient,
for the purpose of obtaining the appro
priation recommended by the chief of
engineers, so that the work may be
prosecuted without unnecessary delay.
I have the honor to be, gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,

Senator Mitchell also enclosed the
following copy of a letter addressed to
the secretary of war,
Washington, D. C, March 7, 1896.
Hon. Van'l S. Lamont, Sec of War:.
Sir : I understand the canal and
locks at the cascades of the Columbia
river are about completed and in con
dition to be opened to the passing of
boats at an early date. I understand,
furthermore, however, that in order to
protect that great work against inflow
from the- river at certain points, in
case it is opened to traffic, a certain
amount of work in the way of revet
ment or filling in should be done at
once.. . -
The interests of the people of that
country imperatively demand that this
canal should be opened to traffic at the
earliest possible moment, and, al
though there is unused certain unap
propriated money, as I understand, I
am informed it can not be used for the
purpose I have indicated. I should be
pleased to have at the earliest possible
moment, a statement from the depart
ment as to the exact condition and the
neoesbity for some immediate action
by congress to the end,- that the open
ing of the canal and locks may not be
delayed, and if such necessity and
emergency exists, then the precise
character of the legislation desired,
and the amount of money necessary to
be appropriated, so as to justify the
opening of the canal and locks at ah
early date to the traffic of the country.
Very Respectfully,
John H. Mitchell. .
