Thanksgiving Proclamation.
The president bas issued the follow !
ing Tbsnksgivlng proclamation: j
"By tbe President of the United
States:
"The people of the United 8tatea
should never be unmindful of the grati-
tude they owe to the God of nations '
for bis watobful care, which has
shielded them from disaster and point- j
ed out to them the way of peaoe and j
bappineaa Nor should they ever re-;
fuse to acknowledge with oontrite
hearts their proneness to turn away
from God's teaohings and to follow
with sinful pride after their own de
vice. "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.
. "Done at the City of Washington,
this 6th day of November, in the year
of onr Lord, 1896, and of the independ

THE GREAT RIVER CPZH.
Tli lVml DedicntinA bt (fts Cae4fi
Loch Celebrated.
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. An addi-

from the lower to tbe upper lock or
canal, and tbla immense body of water
was secured in about balf an hour, al
though, when tbe locks are in full
operation, it will not take more than
eight minutes to perform snob servioe.
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.

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.
Bia vote ia 1(7, and with Kentucky,
Wyoming and South Dakota would be
187.

New York and Pennsylvania have
given the Republican candidate be

Tbe Virginia electors will, without

At first tbe Republicans claimed tbe
state by about 16,000, but late returns'

the state ia olaimed for Bryan, but tbla :
tbe Republicans will not concede. j
California haa given MoKinley a
plurality of 6,000. I
Kansas haa given Bryan 4,000 plu

equals that of two years ago, so that,

Waahington. At Republican and
Demooratio congressional headquarters
the chairmen have been figuring on tbe
complexion of tbe next house. Chair
man Baboook says be hss complete re
ports from m congressional districts,
which have elected Republicans; that
there are 185 districts that bave elect
ed Democrats and Populists, and 88
districts in whioh the retains are in
complete. 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.
