"To the end that these thoughts may be qulokened, it is fitting that, on a day especially appointed, we should join together in approaching the throne of graoe with praise and snpplioation. "Therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, president of the United States, do here by designate and set apart Thursday, the 86th day of the present month of ' November, to be kept and observed as a aay 01 tnanasgiving ana prayer throughout our land. On that day let all our people forego their usual work and occupations and assemble in their sooostomed plaoea of worship; let them with one accord render thanks to the Ruler of tbe Universe for our preserva tion ss a nation, and our deliverance from every threatened danger; for the peace that baa dwelt within onr boun daries; for our defense against disesse and peatilenoe during the year that bas passed; for the plenteous rewarda that have followed the labors of our hus bandmen; and for all the other bless ings that have been vouohsafed to us. "And let us, through the mediation of Him who baa taught us bow to pray, implore the forgiveness of our sins and a oontinuanoe of heavenly favor. "Let us not forget on this day of thanksgiving the needy, and by deeds of oharity let our offerings of praise be made more acceptable in the right of the Lord. "Witness my hand and the seal of the United States whioh I have caused to be hereto affixed. .

The Aponirlg of tbe Cascade locks last Week Will prove sn epoch in tbe his tory cf the state of Oregon, There were thousands who witnessed the swinging of the massive steel gates at the western approaob to the lock. The exeroises preliminary to the opening of the locks were simple in charaoter, consisting only in a short address by Governor W. P. Lord in presenting tbe steel lever to be used in tbe open ing of tbe gate to Captain W. L. Fisk, of tbe United States engineer corps, who bad charge of the work on bebalf of the government, and a brief reply by him. Within tbe look was the steamer Maria, the little steamer Sadie B., the lanncb Water Witch, owned by J. G. and L N. Day, the contractors. Out side tbe lower gate were tbe steamers Dalles City, Sarab Dixon and Barvest Queen, crowded to tbe guards with men, women and children. On tbe south side of tbe locks snd csnal, crowded upon tbe massive gTanite walls of the works, and from every other point of vantage, were thousand of others wsiting patiently the aignal for the gates to swing open. j It was exactly 3:80 when tbe abrill whistle of the Sadie B. announced the signal, and a moment after the great t steel gates were seen to be slowly mov j ing. Cheer upon cheer rent the air; whistles of the various steamers joined i in a mad chorus of noise. Tbe Dalles i brass band, stationed on the steamer , Sarah Dixon, played inspiring airs, I while battery A, of Portland, on the j forward deck, fired a aalute as the steamers commenoed to move. Tbe Sadie B. backed down the lock . to the gate, followed by the Maria and j Water Witch, then returning, took up tbeir stations within the lock, followed I by tbe other steamers. Onoe within ; the walls, the gatea were closed, and eaoh vessel safely moored. " Then a praotioal demonstration of the work ! ings of tbe lock followed.

Tbe gradual rise of water, as it could be watched flowing from the canal, like a seething torrent, proved an in tereating spectacle. When tbe proper depth of water bad been allowed, tbe little Water Witch atarted through tbe canal, the first vessel to pass through the locks after tbe formal opening of ' tbe great work. Tbe Sadie B. closely followed and after tbe other steamers ! also psased through the canal and be yond the eastern gatea, the crowds of passengers waving handerchiefs and wildly cheering. Portland waa largely represented at the celebration, as wss Tbe Dalles, many prominent business men of both cities being present. Sherman and Morrow counties had good delegations present, aa well as Klickitat oounty, Wash. After the passage of the vessels through the locks, Colonel Day and his son entertained a large number of in vited guests, srriving from Portland in a special train. Tbe big dining room of the messhouse wss transformed into a banquet ball, where full jostioe was done to the spresd furnished by the hosts. - Daring the night many speeches were made by prominent oitiaena of the state, and 9 o'clock tbe Portland party, with the exception of about 60 who went to Tbe Dalles to continue tbe celebration, started tor home in its spe cial train, the ran being made in one hoar and 90 minutes. The proposition to build a canal around the obstructions in the Colom bia river at the oasoadea was first pro posed by Colonel Minhier in 1878. The following year the government made tbe first appropriation of 190,000 for ths oommenoement of work on that tin porant undertaking. Tbe first plans of the engineers contemplated tbe con struction of a timber-orib breakwater structure, 7,200 feet long, to extend from tbe lower entrance of the canal for a dlatanoe of 6,000 feet Tbe lift to the upper river through the canal was to be overcome by two looks each 260 feet by 46 feet in size and tbe guard gatea of eaoh to be 64 feet high.: At tbe time the first appropriation W,Vn;T ngr6M C.l0nel Wils0!1, of the United States tu'uro"' ,u oharge of government works in this dis trict Colonel Wilson proposed that the looks be placed on tbe Oregon side of the river, and after a careful exami nation by a board of engineers Colonel Wilson's proposition was approved. This board estimated tbe total cost of overcoming the obstructions at the cascades to be (3,644,000. The same year, on the recommendation of Colo nel Wilson, the width of the looks waa inoreased from 60 to 70 feet After several yesrs, daring whioh time but little work waa accomplished, in 1893 the river and harbor act appro priated 1826,260 for the oontinuanoe of the work, and the contract was given into private handa. Messrs. J. G. and I. N. Day secured the oontraot and agreed to finish the looks for (1,621,285.

M'KINLEY AKD H0BART CHOSEN Waehlngtoa I For Bryaa and Oreaoa For MeKlnley Th Boathera Vote I Divided. With three states yet in doubt, it is known that the Republican national ticket is elected by a majority of nearly 100 in tbe electoral college, and of, 1,000,000 plurality of the popular vote. New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Massachusetts and Ohio have rolled up unprecedented! tremendous majorities, from 100,000 to 800,000. Tbe rest ia. detail, to be settled by complete re-' turns. There are now three states in tbe doubtful column Kentucky, Wyoming and South Dakota. In Kentnoky it will require the official count to deter mine tbe result, owing to irregulari ties. In Wyoming, tbe unoretainty ia doe to tbe slow returns. Tbe latest re ports, however, Indicate that Bryan will get two of the three votes. South Dakota's vote on presidential electors is tied, and an offioial count will be re quired to determine tbe result. Repub lican managers have closed their office with the above declaration. Tbe Republican candidate ia now sure of 260 electoral votes. Tbe other states that were considered doubtful Kansaa, North Carolina, Tenneaaee and Virginia have gone for Bryan.

At Republican and Demooratio congressional headquarters the chairmen have been figuring on tbe complexion of tbe next house.

These may all be olassed as doubtful, be ssys, with the prospect tbst the Republicans will secure at least one half of them, which would make a total Republican membership in the fifty-fifth congress of 207. Be claims that, under uo oircumstanoes. will the Republican membership fall below 300. Senator Faulkner, chairman of the Demooratio oommittee, although he does not concede the Republicans a jmsjority in the next house, gives them 176, within three of a majority. The Democrats have made gaina aa follows: Delaware, 1; Illinois, 1; Mis souri, 4; New York. 1; total, 11. The Republicans have gained aa fol lows: Maryland, 8. Tbe Demo-Populiata have gained 1 in Colorado and 1 in Missouri. Th Neat Senate. Washington. -From returns thus fat reoeived, the next senate will probably stand as follows: Republicans, 44.
