The president haa issued the follow ­
ing Thanksgiving proclamation:
•’By the Prt-aioent of the Unite«!

’’The p»ople of the United Stales
shi'ul! never be unm indful of the grati­
tude they owe to the God of nations
for bis watchful care, which bat
shielded them from disaster and point-

happiness. Nor should they ever re­
fuse to acknowledge with oontrite
hearts their pronene«« to turn sway
fr< m God's teachings and to follow
with sinful pride after their own de­
vices.
“ To the end that these thoughts
may be quickened, it is fitting that, on
a day especially appointed, we should
join together in approaching the throne
of grace with praise and supplication.
“ Therefore, I, Grover Cleveland,
president of the United S u tes, do here­
by designate and set apart Thursday,
the 26th day of the pre«eut month of
November, to be kept and observed as
a day of thanksgiving and prayer
throughout our land. Gn that day let
all our people forego their usual work
and occupations and assemble in th«*ir
ac'ustomed places of worship, let them
with one sooord render thanks to the
Ruler of the Uni ver»* for our preserva­
tion as a nation, and car deliverance
from every threatened danger; for the
peaoe that has dwelt w ithin oor boun­
daries; for onr defense against disease
and pestilence during the year that has
passed; for the plenteous rewards that
have followed the labors of onr hus­
bandmen; and for all the other bless­
ings that have been vouchsafed to os.
“ And let us, through the mediation
of Him who h»s taught us how to pray,
implore the forgiveness of onr sm s and
a continuance of heavenly favor.
“ Let us not forget on this day ot
thanksgiving the needy, and by deeds
of charity let onr offerings of praise be
made more aocepuble in the fight ol

THE BATTLE IS OVER
I.t ic k * C e le b r a te d .
The opening of the Catcado locks last
week w ill prove an epoch in l h * i h is­
tory of the state of Oregon. There
were thousands who witnessed the
sw inging of the massive steel gates at
the western approach t o the lock. The
exercises preliminary to the «pening
of tho locks were simple in character,
consisting only in a abort address by
Governor W. P. Lord in presenting
the steel lever to be used in the open­
ing of the gates to Captain W. L. Fisk,
of the United States engineer corps,
who had charge of the woik on behalf
of the government, and a brief reply
by him.
W ithin the lock was the steamer
Maria, the little steamer Sadie B.. the
launch Water Witch, owned by J. G.
and 1. N. Day. the contractors. Out­
side the lower gate were the steamers
Dalles City. Sarah Dixon and Harvest
Queen, crowded to the guards with
men. women and childr-u. Ou the
south side of the locks and canal,
crowded upon the massive granite
w alls of the works, and from every
other point of ventage, were thousand«
of others waiting patiently the signal
for the gates to swing open.
It was exactly 2:30 when the shrill
whistle of the Sadie B. announced the
signal, and a moment after the great
steel gates were s- n to be slowly mov­
ing. Cheer upon cl r rent the air;
w histles of the various steamers joined
in a in ad chorus of n« ise.
The Dalles
brass band, stationed ou the steamer
Sarah Dixon, played inspiring airs,
w hile battery A. of Portland, on the
forward deck, fired a salute as the
steamers commenced to move.
The Sadie B. tacked down the lock
to the gate, followed by the Mana and
Water W itch, then returning, took up
their stations w ithin the lock, followed
by the other steamers
t>uoe w ithin
the walls, the gates were cloeed, and
each vi-ssel safely moored.
Then a
practical demonstration of the work­
ings uf the lock followed.
An addi­
tional depth of 23 feet was neceasary
in order that the vessels might pssa
from the lower to the upper lock or
canal, and this immense body of water
wa» secured in about half an hour, a l­
though, whtn the locks are in foil
t per a non, it w ill not take more than
eight minutes to perf rm such service.
The gradual rise of water, a» it could
be watched flowing from the canal,
like a seething torrenr, proved an in­
teresting spectacle.
When the proper
depth of water h a! be«-u allowed, the
little Water Witch started through the
canal, the first vessel to pass through
the locks after the formal opening of
t e great work. The Sadie B closely
followed and after the other steamer*
also passed through the canal and be-
yuud the ea»tern gates, the crowds of
passengers w a \in g banderchtefs and
w ildly cheering
Portland was largely represented at
the celebration, as was The Dalles,
many pronnneut business men of both
cities being present.
Sherman and
Morrow counties bad gtxid delegations
{ resent, as w ell a* Klickitat o«.unty.
Wash.
After the passage of the vessels
through the locks. Colonel Day and his
son entertained a large number of in ­
vited guests, arriving from Portland in
a special train.
The big dium g room
of the mesahouse was transformed into
a banquet hall, where fu ll justice was
done to the spread furnished by the
hosts.
During the ntgbt many speeches
were made by prominent citizens of the
state, and 9 o'clock the Portland party,
with the exception of about 50 who
went to The Dalles to continue the
celebration, started for borne m its spe­
cial train, the run being made in one
hour and 20 m inutea
The proposition to build a canal
around the obstructions in the C olum ­
bia river at the cascades waa first pro­
posed by Colonel Michier in 1875. The
follow ing year the government made
the first appropriation of $90,000 for
the commencement of work on that im-
poraut undertaking. The first plans of
the engineers contemplated the con­
struction of a timber-crib breakwater
structure, 7.200 feet long, to extend
from the lower entrance of the canal
for a distance of 5.000 fe e t
The lift
to the upper river through the canal
was to be overcome by two locks each
250 feet by 46 feet in size and the
guard gates of each to be 64 feet high.
At the time the first appropriation
was made by «xwgress Colonel Wilson,
of the United States engineers, was in
charge of government works in this d is­
trict. Colonel Wilson proposed that
the locks be placed on the Oregon side
of the river, and after a careful exam i­
nation by a board of engineers Colonel
W ilson's proposition was approved.
Thia board estimated the total cost
of overcoming the obstructions at the
cascades to be $2,54 4,000. The same
year, on the recommendation of Colo­
nel W ilson, the width of the locks waa
iucreased from 50 to 70 feet.
After several years, during which
tim e but little work was accomplished,
in 1892 the river aud harbor act appro­
priated $326,250 for the continuance of
the work, aud the contract was given
intc private bands
Messrs. J. G. aud
1. N. Day secured the contract and
agreed to fiuiah the locks for $1.621,265.

W ith three states yet in doubt, it is
known that the Republican national
ticket ia elected by a majority of nearly
100 in the elect«iral college, and of
¡.000,000 plurality of the popular vote.
New Y'ork, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Massachusetts aud Ohio have roll«-«! up
unpre« edentedly tremendous majorities.
from 100,000 to 300,000. The rest ia
detail, to be s e t t l e by complete re­
turns.
There are now three states in th«
doubtful colum n— Kentucky, Wyoming
aud South Dakota. In Kentucky it
w ill require the official count to deter­
mine the leault. owing to irregulari­
ties. In Wyoming, tbe uncretainty ia
due to the slow return*. The latest re­
port», however, indicate that Bryan
w ill get two of the three votes.
South
Dakota's vote on piesident>al electors
is tied, and an < fficial count w ill ta re-
quired to determine the result. Repub­
lican manager* have closed their office
with the above declaration.
The R-pnblican candidate is now
sure of 260 electoral vote».
The other
tttat*s that were considered doubtful—
Kansas. North Carolina. Tennea*e«
aud Virginia — have gone for Bryan.
His vote is 167, aud with Kentucky,
W yoming and Sooth Dakota would be
167.

The return» show interesting features
aud in some respects have been a sur­
prise to tbe lead ra of both political
parties.
The New England states
have, as was expected, given heavy
pluralities for McKinley, w ithcut ex ­
ception. The Republican ticket was
sueceesful iu Massachusetts beyond
what was claimed for it by the mo*t
eutburiastic prophet of Republican sne-
oes*.
New York and Pennsylvania have
given tbe Republican candidate be­
tween 2 75 WM) aud 285.O0O each.
The Virginia electors w ill, without
question, be for Bryan, but they have
been elected by a heavily tedu«)ed vote.
Tbe Republican* have given Texas up
Illinois ba* given McKiuley about
175.000 pluiality.
io the guberna­
torial ra«?e A.ltge'.d has l>een beaten,
but is 60,000 ahead of the Democratic
national ticket.
Ohio has given McKinley 52.438
plurality.
Returns by counties in Iowa have
been completed.
The total vote cast
in the state la in excess of 510.000
vi'tes, estim ating the Prohibition and
Palmer votes together at only 5000
Of these votes 286,751 were cast for
McKiuley, and 2)9,118 for Bryau.
McKinley's plurality, 67.633
This
is the largest vote ever cast in the
state..
In Kentucky the situation is ma­
terially changed fiom early advicea.
At first the Republicans claimed tbe
state by about 15,000, but late returns
show large Democratic gains, aud now
the state is claimed f« r Bryau, but this
the Republicans w ill not concede.
California haa giv«u McKinley a
plurality of 6,000.
Kansas has given Bryau 4.000 plu­
rality.
With nearly oom pie te returns from
Michigan PiDgrte's plurality is esti­
mated at about 70.000 aud McKinley's
15,000 l«‘ss
Of the congressional dele­
gation 12 are Republicans and 2 fu ­
sion is ts.
Tennessee's 12 electoral votes w ill be
cast for Bryau, but the Republicans
may elect the governor.
South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi,
Alabama and Louisiana are all for
Bryan by about the n«.’ruial Democratic
majorities.
Nebraska has gone for Bryan, not­
w ithstanding the Republican claims.
Wisconsin is almost sure for the Re­
publican».
Minnesota, which was regarded as
doubtful by both parties, w i’l have
25,000 plurality for McKinley.
Colorado has given Bryan a heavy
plurality, and Adams, without doubt,
has been elected governor.
Idaho, Moutana. Utah aud Nevada
have all gone for Bryau by heavy ma-
jonti"».
Delaware is in the Republican col­
umn.
Maryland has given McKinley as
large a plurality as it gave Cleveland
in 1892.
McKinley's plurality in West Vir­
ginia is 13,000.
The latest information from North
Dakota show tb:« it is very sure for
McKinley.
