Mr. President, anil Members of the Commercial Club, Dalles VUs, Or. Gentlemen: - We, your special committee on the Cascade Lock?, be leave to submit the following report First: You wili bear in mind that at the time of the formition of this committee that it camo to the knowl edge of the Commercial Club that ;tho locks would not bo opened, as expected on March 1st, of the present year; and that there was a showing to the effect that certain additional work was re quired to be done between the middle and linner irate on account of the 11 o nature and Quality of the formation which had been relied.upon to form natural wall. This was discovered to hfl of sup.h a character, that in the judgment of the engineer in charge it would not withstand the action of the elemonts. and there wo-o no funds in the hands of the engineers to b3 used for tho oermanent improvement at this point. That we at once joined the Astoria Chamber of Commerce and others interested in the speedy opening of the locks in a petition to con gress for aid in a special appropria tion of sufficient funds to meet the re quirement, which petition was at once forwarded to our representatives in Washington, and as we are informed, wa3 passed upon by tho senate the same day in which it was received, ap propriating $20,000 out of the funds then available for expenditure at the locks, but during the intervening period of some weeks getting the reso lution past the house and properly signed before it could become avail able as desired, the fund from which this appropriation had been made was exhausted, on account of work that had alreadv been done by the contractors at the locks, and the engineers were as riav frniTi A t.rlrk nn t Vi a T.lf.t.la AJ hita Salmon where he has - been making "a9 Z11 admired, as Oregon fruit yet unpr0vided with funds with which views for the Oreeon Lumber Co samples or the nrst worsted ciotn ever manufactured on the Pacific coast are uow being turned out by the new Thomas Xay Woolen mills at Salem, Or.

No. 1 wheat at ' Biggs and Rufus is bringing from 39 to 40 cea s,and lowec grades from. 32 to 38.' This is an ad vance pver the prices' offered the 1st of September last year." A. D. Mc Donald, who is .operating in wheat at those points, is in the city today, and reports the receipts so far to have been about equal to those of ayerage years. ' i Correction. i : By a typographical error which crept into the letter of "Silver'.' on fourth page, the communication . is somewhat confused. ' The 86tn and 87th line of the same should read "It seems to me obvious that it would not have that effect" and in line 102 the words "it is" should read "Is It" and in the statement in relation to the exports of gold and gold coinage ot France, the words '.'over and above the imports' should follow' "jwmed'Lin. the third line preceding. to do this required -work. Our repre sentatives then applied in the river and harbor bill and also in the sun dry civil bill for an additional appro priation of $50,000.00 to be applied on additional work at tho locks, and also applied for an appropriation of $170,' 000.00, for the further completion of the work, which' was duly appropriated under the river and harbor bill re ferred to above. Second: We have recently visited Senator Mitchell in Portland, and have had a full explanation of the facts as above set forth. We were then ac companied by Mr. Mitchell to the office of Captain Fiske, engineer in charge, who informed us that he had let a special contract to Messrs. Day Bros, in charge of tho general improvements at said locks for the building of the re quired walls and revetements between the middle and upper gates; and has also in progress the dredging at the ap proaches of both the upper and lower gates, and the contract above referred to is to be completed on or before the 15th day of November, of the present year. Third: It is thoroughly the gudg ment of your committee that this club and others interested in -the tspeedy completion of the locks, and the open- ins of the Columbia river to trans portation from this interior 'point to the sea, are under special obligations to our representatives in congress for their efforts in obtaining promptly the required funds for this purpose, and more especially toSenator Mitchell aided bv tho recommendations of Captain Fiske,' who spent several weeks of his time after the close of the last session of congress for the one purpose of getting the fuuds thus ap propriated applicable for immediate us, thus alleviating the delay inci dental to departmental affairs, which otherwise would have delayed this im portant work for at least one year. Fourth: We met In the person of Captain Fiske a very competent and affable gentleman, free and frank to express his opinion, and especially his desire to complete the locks open for tronsportation at the earliest possible date, and he does not hesitate to say that he will recommend them being open for use on the 15 day of Novem ber next, or sooner if possible, unfor seen and unavoidable delays alone ex cepted. .- Emile Schanno, B. F. Lasghlin, N. Whealdon, Committee. Portland's Exposition. The Oregon Industrial Expositiou will open at Portland, Saturday even ing, September 19, and continue one month. As an exposition of the re sources, products and industries of the Pacific northwest, it will surpass any of its predecessors. Its financial suc cess is assured by a guaranty fund, and with this to rely upon the managers have gone, ahead with boldness and confidence to gather the most complete, exhibit of everything entering into the life and prosperity of this region ever brought together. Many alterations are being made in the interior arrange ments of the huge structure in which the fair is held, especially in providing greater facilities for the enjoyment of visitors- Special attention is being paid to those who attend in many ways besides the music and exhibits. Every night something special will be given for amusement of visitors. Frequent excursions, at extremely low rates of fare, will be run on all railroads, and special rates -will- be given at other times on all lines in Oregon, Washing ton and Idaho. Both in tho variety and quality of the exhibits and in its special attractions the fair will be far superior to any of its predecessors. A Poor Excuse. A Portland paper' says the police force of that city i3"i-j.-'an utterly, de moralized condition,- and gives as a reason that each day the members of the force expect to. be let out. Just why a policeman, should, neglect his duty because he expects to-get "let out" is not clear, but in other lines of business neglect of duty is considered sufficient cause to fire an employe bodily. 'No- stronger Indorsement of Mayor Pennoyer's policy In reorganiz ing tho police force of that city . could be had, for a police force that will not perform its duty, eyen under such ad verse circumstances,' is certainly in need of reorganization. Wrongfully Accused. One of the principal arguments against allo'wing sheep raisers to herd their flocks within the bounds of the forest reserve is that they set out fires and destroy the timber. This has been frequently denied, and now W. Ross Winans, who lives far back in the mountains on Hood river, hence is cap able to judge of who set out forest fires, offers his testimony in deferense of the sheepmen. Mr. Winans says: "Many forest fires are ranging in the haunts of the campers and trout fishermen.-' The sheep are not in it; - no J fires showine in their ranges. -1 think it is all a mistaken idea that sheepmen fire the woods, there being plenty of feed for the sheep without it and too much danger of burning up their en tire bauds. Sheepmen should not be allowed to eat up settlers' crops and ranges with their sheep, but ought to be allowed to make use of tho tens of thousands of acres of waste lands. The reserve (should and will bo thrown open to uho stockmen, and if closed to any one better exclude tho few tramp tourists and fishermen, and thereby have less forest fires."

Editor: I have read the report of our com mittee appointed to wait on Senator Mitchell and Capt. Fisk, and don't find that the senator explains why the contract wa3 given to Day Bros., un less it be to pay debts of last June; nor does he exert himself or exert his mfl ence on Capt. Fisk to release the port age road from being closed by Gov ernor Day and Secretary Day .of Cas cade Locks. What difference will it make to Eastern Oregon whether the locks are opened November 15 or the 15th of next April, so far as crops are con cerned? either date will suit these fine gentlemen now, for both are after elec tion. Probably Gov.- Day -may get tired or the O.R.&N. will not respond after that time. I would like to ask Senator Mitchell one question. Do you think you have made friends by your actions in regard to the locks? Our governor is after your peace playing for it hot. Which will get it? Eastern Oregon can lay back and smile. Pioneer. Senator Mitchell has made dates to speak at various points throughout Eastern Oregon during October. Why would it not be well to have a joint discussion between the senator and some prominent democratic speaker at each of the places he has designated? The people want to hear both sides of all questions debated, adn no better plan could be adopted than a joint dis cussion. Messrs. John Rumech, Jake Elleri ti ger and Fritz Armbruch, three prom inent business men of Portland, have been visiting in the city the guests of August Buchler and Chas. Frank.

Stewart . Gives Some Facts About the Act of 1S73 Senator Stewart, of Nevada has written a sharp reply to the recen speech of Senator Sherman. In the course of his letter. Senator Stewart says among other things: "In yo-.ir speech or August 1;, de livered at Columbus, O., you grossly misrepresented me. You quoted gar bled extracts from a speech I made in the senate on the 11th of June, 1874, when I was advocating a return to specie-payment, and inadvertently used the term 'gold' for 'specie,' which was very common in those days, it you had printed the context it would have refuted tho inference you drew from the extracts you did print. The speech is quite lengthy, and your quotation is made by selecting at various places sentences or parts of sentences and stringing them together to make them mean what you desire. My term in the penate expired March 4, 1875, and up to that time there was never a word spoken in de bate with reference to the demonetiza tion of silver. You cannot point to a single line, syllable or word pointing in that direction. Still you accuse of having advocated the demonetization of silver. "On September 5, 1893, I delivered an address which refuted tho lalse charge, but this was an unimportant part of the address. You absented yourself during all the time of the speech. Neither you nor any one else has replied to that speech. The facts it contains convict you of having im posed upon the senate in securing the demonetization of silver. You knew what you were doing at the time. No other senator has confessed that he did. In proof I will call your attention to some of the matters contained in my speech, which is entitled, 'The True History of the Demonetization of Silver.' "In the spring of 1867 you went to London. You visited Paris, and wrote to Samuel B. Ruggles, the American commissioner to the .monetary confer ence, then in session at Paris, advocat ing the single gold standard. Your lettter and extracts from the report of Mr. Ruggles show. how valuable your services were in connection with the English delegation in securing the adoption of a resolution by the con ference recommending the gold stand ard. The following winter you intro duced in the senatean act 'in relation ' to the coinage of gold and silver.' The third section reads: 'An be it further enacted that the gold coins to be is sued under this act shall be a legal tender in all payments to any amount, and the silver coin shall be a legal tender to an amount not exceeding $10 in any one payment.' "You made a favorable report on this bill, saying that 'the single stand ard of gold is an American idea, yield ed reluctantly by France and other countries where silver is the chief standard of value.' ' y t "Senator E. D. Morgan of New York made a minority report which exposed your scheme and caused you to aban don the bill. "After Mr. Morgan left the senate, a committee was formed in .the treasury department, with John J. Knox at the head, which framed a bill of 70 sections , codifying the mint laws. . You managed to secure the passage of this codification bill through the senate without attracting the attention of the senate to the fact that it ommitted the silver dollar from the list of coins, My speech of September 5, 1893, shows how skillfully -you manipulated that legislation. Your charge against me and others that we ' ought to have known what was in that codification bill is answered by tho fact that legis lative bodies do not ordinarily exam ice as accurately as' they should, per haps, bills 'which -emanate from the departments and purport to be codi fications, particularly when they have confidence in their committtees. - "Since you made your assault on me on August 30, 1893, you have left the senate every time I have discussed tho silver question. You have done this to avoid debate, in which you would be called upan to explain many things which appeared in that speech. In stead of debating the question in the senate you go a thousand miles away and reiterate your falsehoods. I invito you, when the question of coinage comes up again in the senate, to make specific reply to the charges I made against you. in my speech on September 5, 1S93, and allow mo to re ply to you. You can reply to me as often as you please and can interrupt mo at any time to make your explana tions. ' . .; . "I have examined with care your various attempts to defend yourself against the charge that you demone tized silver. The only defense which you make is that you were not caught at it while the bil.l was pending, and you lay all the blame upon me and other senators for that wicked legis tion because, we did not suspect that you wero doing "anything different from what you were pretending to do. If you have any other defense for de monetizing silver, when the silver in the silver dollar was worth 3 per cent more than the gold in tho gold dollar the public undoubtedly will be glad to hear from you. - So far as I am con cerned, I know you have none." the row have no apparent connection with one Another. - .

The Chinese quarter of First street was all in a ferment last evening about 8 o'clock.

It don't. It's your stomach. That is, your stomach is really what causes the bi li ousness. . It has put your liver out of order. . See what's the matter with your stomach. Sick stomach poisons liver and then there's trouble. Shaker Digestive Cordial cures stomach and then all's well. That's the case in a nutshell. ; Shaker Digestive Cordial -is no secret. Formula's on every bottle. But It s the simple honest way it's made, the honest Shaker herbs ' and other ingredients of which it's com posed, that make it so efficacious. Any real case of indigestion and biliousness can be cured with a few bottles of Shaker Digestive Cordial. Try it.
