REPORT ON THE LOCKS.
The Committee of tiie Commercial Club
Submit Their Final Report.
Thi3 Dalles. Or.. Sent. 1st, 1896.
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

Mrs. D. Mansfield and daughter, who

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,

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."

First Class In German.-
In answer to my advertisement in
the TiSJes-Mountaineek, for a class
in German, quite a number of applica
tions have been filed with mo. After
thoroughly investigating the different
applications I have concluded to
organize three-classes iii German.
class no. i.
This class will begin with the rudi
ments of the German language and
will advance as fast as the time and
ability of the class will permit. This
class will meet for the first time at the
old Luthern Chapel on 9th street on
Monday evening at 7 P. M., Sept. 7th.
All desiring to participate in the work
of this class must be 'present at this
meeting, if at all possible. It is very
much desired -that those who wish to
-participate, should order their books
at once.' ' ' . -.
class no. n.
This class is for those who have al
ready devoted some time to the study
of the German language and who have
thus familiarized themselves with all
or at least with a part of the German
grammar and have accumulated at
least a limited knowledge of the Ger
man vocabulary. All who are able
and willing to participate in the work
in this class are kindly requested to
apply to the undersigned at an early
date. You can not only learn as much
with the aid of a competent teacher in
one month as you can by self tuition
in six, but you will do well also tot
avoid the constant danger of making
mistakes and applying rules in a wrong
way if you employ the aid of a teacher,
class no. m.
A third class in German will also
be organized for the benefit of those
who are well able to converse in ihe
German language, but who are not
familiar with the German grammar
rhetorics and with the German classics.
Those who desire to participate in the
work in this class will please make
this intention known to the under
signed at at early date.
Very Respectfully Yours,

Pioneer Wants to Know.
Mb. 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

Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder
Awarded Cold MU Midwinter Mr. Ssa Fnndsca,
In an Open Letter to Sherman, . 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. - . ( . ; .
Quongit seems, recently suspended
business, owing several suin3 of money
in Chinatown. These it was proposed
to collect a la Chinee, partly out of
his hide, last night, when he drew a
pistol and ctood them off. There was
also a woman iu this case, but just how
much- is still a mystery. Ju Sing is
charged with disturbing the peace, the
peace that was disturbed being a high
China-Masons meeting, given in honor
of some big visiting dignitary of the
order, or highbinder. It is hard to see
any connection between these cases
yet there must be, either the high
binder cr-urt was sitting on Quong's
case with Jusing as a spy, or Ju Sing
was a give it up. Recorder Phelps

with the mystery, but tumbled on one
of 'em to the tune of $10, and holds the
other until 4 o'clock this afternoon by
tho strong tenure of. all-his jewelry tp I

Later Quong got away this after
noon and took refuge under our office
for the space of about a minute when
he was routed out and so far as we
know is still running.

Don't think that your liver needs
treating if you are bilious. 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.
Sold by druggists, price 10 cents to
$1.00 per bottle.
