AN OPEN RIVER.
The Dalles and the Vicinity Will
Soon
Enjoy It.
An open river to the sea is of pe
culiar significance to the people of
the Inland Empire, and The Dalles
and vicinity will soon enjoy this
privilege. At the head of naviga
lion, with a large region of the in
terior country to it, an open river
to the sea means that The Dalles
will be an ocean-competitive point
the same as Portland or Astoria,
says The Dalles Times Mountain
eerv -' ;. "
Tma long-delayed dream is soon
to be realized, and then this city
will possess facilities for handling
the produce of , Eastern Oregon
above anv other point east of the
Cascade mountains. A fleet of
boats from Astoria and Portland
will plow the waters of the Colum
bia, and load and unload their
wealth of exports and imports at
our -wharves, Wheat and wool
will seek shipment from this point
to the market of the world, and
The Dalles will no longer be an
interior town, but one of touch and
sympathy with the seaports of the
world. This open river to the sea,
which has been considered a delus-
ve dream, is nearing relization,
and before 1896 if printed on the
calendar the great canal and locks
at the Cascades will be open to the
navigation of the people and the
Columbia will flow unvexed to the
ocean, The Dalles and vicinity
will in less than a year be emanci
pated from the control of railroads,
and farmers and sheepmen can
float their produce unimpeded in
barges to tide water. An open riv
er means commercial liberation
for an empire, and The Dalleb, be
ing at the head of navigation, will
reap every advantage to be derived
therefrom.
Oregon Press Association.
The Oregon Press Association
has become of great benefit to the
press of Oregon, and the annual
meetings are looked forward to
with pleasure. The locality that is
fortunate enough to secure the an
nual meeting is the gainer in many
ways. Recognizing the great value
to this state of an open Columbia
river, the last four sessions have
been held at such places as would
bring that question preminently
before the newspaper fraternity,
This year the importance of the
harbor at Yaquina bay was consid
ered, and, therefore, some time in
August every member who can
spare a few days from his labor will
journey to Yaquina and endeavor
to make the eight annual meeting
of the Oregon Press Association the
most prosperous one in its history.
I have two little girl children
who are teething this hot summer
weather and are troubled with
bowel complaint. I give them
Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and it nets like
a charm. I earnestly recommend
it for children with bowel troubles.
I was myself taken with a severe
attack of bloody flux, with cramps
and pains in my stomach, one
third of a bottle of this remedy
cured me. Within twenty-four
hours I was out of bed and doing
my house work. Mrs. W, L. Dun-
agan, Bon-aqua, Hickman Co.,

Mr. W. F. Hubbard, euperinten
ter.dent of the government hatch
ery on the Clackamas, has been in
structed by the United States fish
commissioner to proceed to Idaho
and visit the upper and lower Sal
mon falls on the Snake river, and
to Weiser and Bliss with the ob
securing salmon eggs to supply the
Clackamas hatchery. He will have
to arrange for securing theeggs and
also for gome temporary hatching
apparatus to care, for them until
they are about eighteen days old,
as the epgs will not bear transpor
tation until the eyes show. Then
they will be packed in moss and
ice and taken down to the Clack
amas hatchery to be hatched out
and kept until the proper size to
be turned into the riverp.
McNeill's Splendid Management.
Says the Evening Telegram: To
Receiver McNeill's splendid man-
agement may justly be attributed
the condition Which warrant the
prediction that the 0. R. & N sys
tem will soon be freed from the
burden of maintaining a receiver
ship. In a remarkable short time,
and with a surprising absence of
friction, he has extracted the sys
tem from the damaging complica
tions into which it was involved by
its connection with the Union Pa
cific, and has thoroughly demon
strated his ability to make it a
paying property, if it is not already
earning more than its operating
I expenses. Major McNeill's skill
ful work as receiver assures bis re
tention as manager of the 0. R. &
N. when it is released from the
court's control.
Hemlock for Pulp.
A contract for 6,000,000 feet of
hemlock, to be used in the manu
facture of paper, has been let to
Earties within the last week, on
ower Columbia. It is claimed
that hemlock makes a superior
quality of pulp.owing to the white
ness of the hber and freedom from
pitch. As green hemlock is ex-
ceedinelv heavV and will, until
seasoned, sink when placedin the
water, this feature will necessitate
all hemlock- contracts to be placed
in plenty of time. Hemlock hith
erto considered worthless for any
purpose will now take rank with
Cottonwood or spruce as a . pulp
material. Millions of feet of hem
lock are easily obtained in that
section.
While in Topeka last March, E.
T. Barber, a prominent newspaper
man of La Cygne, Kan., was taken
with cholera morbus very severely.
The night clerk at the hotel where
he was stopping happened to have a
bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Chol
era and Diarrhoea Kemedy and
gave him three doses which reliev
ed him and he thinks saved his
life. Every family should keep
this remedy in their home at all
times. No one can tell how soon
it may be needed. It costs but a
trine and may be the means of sav
ing much suffering and perhaps the
life of some member of the family.

The Dalles Bicycle Incident.
A few evenings ago a veteran
commercial travler from San Fran
cisco was run down by an experi
enced Dalles bicyclist. "Are you
hurt?" Inquired a sympathetic
bystander. "Hurt?" responded the
drummer in a surpassed voice.
"You bet I'm hurt. For twenty
years I've been a resident of cities,
dodging forty times a day cable
care, trolley cars, runaways and
locomotives, only to be knocked
over in a iay town by a wobbly
bicycle, ridden by a gallot to clum
sy to get out of the way of a one
legged tax collector. Hurt? Well
I should say I am."
Narrow Escape.
On Tuesday the little child of C
II. Northern at North Powder had
a narrow escape from a frightful
death. The little child was on the
track behind a freight train when
the train commenced backing up
and knocked the child down and
three cars passed over it before the
train could be stopped. When the
train stopped the child crawled out
badly frightened but uninjured.

THE NAME OREGON.
Senator Mitchell Gives a Bit of History
Concerning Its Origin.
United States Senator Mitchell
from Oregon recently gave the Nat
ional Geographical Society the fol
lowing bit of history about the
name of Oregon:
There are various theories as to
the origin and derivation of -the
name "Oregon." Some writers de
clare that it is derived from the
Spanish, signifying "wild thyme."
so ctlled because of the abundance
of that herb found by early explor
ers. Others insist that it is an Ind
ian word, In use about the head
waters of the Columbia, to desig
nate the waters of that river and
meaning the ''great river of the
west." and obtained from them by
Jonathan Carver, a native of Con
necticut, in l66-68, who spent two
years among the Indians on the
upper waters of the upper Mississ
ippi, now the state ot Wisconsin.
Carver's accounts, however, in re
ferring to many matters, are con
tradictory and unreliable, though
in referring to this he was quite
likely right. It is more than prob
able that an article published fifty
three years ago, in 1842 "Hunt's
Magazine" and reproduced by the
historian Brown . in "his political
history of Oregon, presents the cor
rect solution of the question. Speak
ing of Oregon territory and the dis
covery of the Columbia river by
Captain Gray, this article says:
"The territory watered by this riv
er and its tributes has since" that
is since the discovery of the river
"been called the Oregon territory
from a tradition said to have ' pre
vailed among the' Indians near
Lake Superior, of the existence of a
mighty rivet rising in that vicinity
and emptying its waters into the
Tacific, and which was supposed to
be the Columbia." Uryant in his
celebrated "Thanatopsis," written
in 1815, refers to the Columbia riv
er as the Oregon: "Where rolls
the Oregon, and hears no sound
save its own dashings,"
They Killed the Dogs.
In a town in California the peo
ple were pestered with worthless
curs that howled continuously all
night, keeping people awake and
otherwise disturbing the peace and
dignity of the community. -On
p nday evening a lot of poisoned
meat was scattered about which
sent about fifty dogs to perdition
on that night snd now the town is
enjoying partial quietude again.
The identity of the poisoner is no
known, but many owners of dogs
are mad, enougn to shoot him if
found. '

Work t the Locks.
The water is eo high at the Cas
cades that little work can be done
uutil the river recedes to the norm
al stage. One section of the s'econd
gate is placed in position, and as
soon as the water goes down the
other gates will be erected, the re
maining walls built and the upper
bulkhead taken out. There can
not be much doubt that in less than
a year boats will pass through the
canal to and from Eastern Oregon.
The contractors are very much in
earnest about the work, and will
push it with the greatest activity
as soon as the river will permit.
