The Columbian says: TJjitil the dredg

when boats can pass through at any
hour, the steamers Dalles City and

The population of Oregon, by the
census of 1690, was 313,707. By the
ft'ate census of 1895 it was 362,763. The
estimated population in 1896 is 400,000.
The total vote cast at the lute presi
dential election was 97,346. This num
ber, multiplied by five' the usual way
of estimating the population from the
vote, would give the state a population
of 486,730.
The Dufur Dispatch says fourth-class
post offices are now under civil service
regulations and congratulates Dufur's
P. M., Henry Pitman, on the prospect
of his holding the office so long as he
properly attends to Uncle Sam's Inter
ests in' that department. If the Dis
patch is correct, P. M. Morse will hold
on to the Hood River office indefinite
ly; but we are inclined to think fourth
class postmasters have not yet been in
cluded in the sweep of civil service re
form, f
McKiuley carried 23 states; Bryan 22;
McKinley has 272 electors; Bryan 173.
The states that voted for McKinley
contain double the population of the
Bryan stutes, and three times the value
of property. The majority of McKin
ley over Bryan on the popular vote
is about 800,000. Only in one 'respect
does Bryan get the better of McKi nley,
and that is in the area of the states
which he carried. In the matter. of
jirea he Is clearly ahead of the success

, A correspondent of the Agriculturist
from Trout Lake says: From the 11th
to the 16th of November it rained al
most night and day; and the White
Salmon was higher thau It had been
for 20 years. Four bridges on Trout
lake went out, belonging to Messrs.
Wagnltz,' Pearson and Peterson. - A
lot of fencing also went out. The
dwelling house of Mr. Hayes had a
close call. He had to vacate It for two
days. The, bridge at the falls went out,
but the supervisor went to work and
put in a new one, making it three feet
higher. Nov. 25th the snow was three
feet deep, and most of the Trout Lake
jieople had not got in their winter sup
plies. '
Secretary Morton has made public
his fourth annual report. It concludes
with a comprehensive review of the
condition 'of American farmers. Seventy-two
per cent of the farms in the
United States, occupied by their own-
...... nHA ..l.r...T ,, f. . t
or other Incumbrances. , The frequent
statement that the farmers are almost
universally in debt, despondent and
suffering, he declares to be without any
foundation, a belittlement of agricul
ture and an indignity to every intelli
gent and practical farmer. The farm
ers are not mendicants nor wards of
the government, to be treated to annu
ities, but the representatives of the old
est, most honorable, most essential oc
cupation of the human race, upon
which all other vocations depend for
subsistence and prosperity. "Legisla
tion," he says, "can neither plow nor
plant. ' The intelligent, practical and
successful farmer needs no aid from the
government. The ignorant, impract
ical and indolent farmers deserve none.
It is not the business of the govern
ment to legislate in behalf of any class
oi citizens Decause tney are engaged in
nny special falling, no matter how es-1

The Oregon legislature, which will
convene January 11, 1896, will consist
of 90 members in both houses, of which
50 are republicans, 7 democrats, 16 pop
ulists, 3 Mitchell republicans, 2 repub
lican and taxpayers' league, 1 Mitchell
republican and populist, 3 union bimet-
allists, 1 taxpayers' league and Mitch
ell republican, aud 1 unplaced. Forty
six votes, being a majority of all, will
be required to elect a senator. The
friends of Senator Mitchell are active
in his behalf and hope to secure his
election. The 50 republicans were
nominated and elected with the under
standing that they would not vote for
Mitchell, but several of them have an
Dounccd their intention of supporting
the captivating senator. Gold stand
ard republicans are trying now to
smoke him out and have him declare
himself on the money question, but so
far their efforts have failed. As the
straight republicans have a majority of
the legislature, it would seem unwise
to elect a man to the United States
senate whose soundness on the money
question is in doubt. If the republi
cans desire a man for senator whose
sound money views are well known,
and whose. election would redound to
the credit of the state, they could read
ily find such in the person of H. W.
Scott. Every one knows where he
stands on the money question or any
other question iu which his party or
the people a're interested. If Mr. Scott
would consent to serve the state in the
United States senate, -no better man
could be found in the republican party
for the place.
Foster and Hicks, America's two
famous weather prophets, both agree in
forecasting a loug and severe winter
Each of them foretold the present cold
snap, fixing it to a day, and the worst
of it is, each of them say, "Look out
for a hard, cold and stormy December."
We must confess to having little faith
in weuther prognostications mude
months in advance and based on the
changes of the moon, the conjunction
of planets, the color of the goose bone,
the hog's melt, or any aud all Mich.
Yet the fact is Indisputable that Hicks
has gone right along for several years
naming the weather conditions to pre
vail months in advance, and naming
them right. Still we are inclined to
attribute his phenomenal forecasts as
due more to his luck at guessing, Jike
that of Father Pumpkin, mentioned
by Saxe, than to any insight into the
future, or any pull on the weather
clerk. Dalles Chronicle.
The Oregon state legislature will
meet at Salem on the second Monday
in January, at which time the four
McKinley electors will also meet and
cast their ballots for president and vice
president.
Odd Fellows' Entertainment.
The entertainment given by the Odd
Fellows' in the. Mason's and Odd Fel
lows'1 hall,last Thursday evening, iu
the interest of an organization of a Re
becca Degree lodge, was a very enjoy
able affair, and the 160 persons present
willverify the statement. A pro
pramme was well carried out in every
particular. The singing by the Misses
Ella and Lulu Buddemer of Portland
was a rare treat and showed well train
ed voices. The plastiqlie movement
exercise by Miss Lulu displayed talent
of a high order.' Miss Nellie Clark's
recitation was well received and cred
itably delivered. Our home quartette,
composed of Mrs, Miller, Mrs. Can Held,
Dr. Brosius and Delbert Rand, Sang
"Old Mother Hubbard" in a manner
that showed thorough training in the
preparation of the song. All merit the
thanks of the lodge for the help given
by them.'- Next iu order was the dis
cussion. This part of the programme
was of rare interest and every one
present took an active part in it and
displayed a creditable craving after the
untried. The participants were ar
rayed on opposite sides, of course, as
evenly as possible, and then began the
event of the evening.' Firmness was
written upon every feature, and along
the whole line on either side no one
could detect a faltering expression.
All worked with might and main, un
til one might have thought the nutject
matter would certainly be exhausted.
Only once was there a displayof wav.
ering, when our worthy P. M., one of
the most enthusiastic participants, fell
backwards from his chair. ' The dis
cussion was very strange and varied,
and seemed to point forward to the
mil!enium, for all, or both sides, agreed
in every particular, the only difference
being in capacity. Big and little, old
and young, went away satisfied and
full of the subject. ' '
Birthday Surprise.
A pleasant surprise was given, Mrs.
L. E. More Tuesday evening, the oc
casion being her 30th birthday. The
party was mude up of Mr. and Mrs. F
C Brosius, Mr. and Mrs. J F Watt. Mr.
and Mrs. E V Husbands, Mr. and Mrs.
Jos A'Wilson, Mr. and Mis. C R Bone,
Mr ana Mrs V M. VVoitard, Mr and
Mrs S R Reeves. Duplicate whist was
the order or the evening. The first
prize was carried off by Mr. S. R.
Reeves und Mrs. J. F. Watt. Mr. E.V.
Husbands and Mrs. L. E. Morse won
the booby. Refreshments were served
and all-went home good natuivdly,

Wreck of The Dalles City.
The steamer Dalles City struck a
rock last Friday, near Stevenson, and
is now lying on a-sandbox near that
place iu a disabled condition. Mr. F.
E. Jackson and. family of Hood River
were aboard the boat on their way
home from Portland. Mr.' Jackson,
says his experience on that trip 'was
such that he will never wish to repeat
it. They left Portland Friday morn
ing on the Regulator, and when the
boat reached the locks, the 'pipes that
supply the canal were frozen and the
boat could not pass' through. Steam
was gotten up,' and the employes at
the locks thought they would soon be
able to work them, but it took hours
to thaw out the pipes. The Dalles City
was lying above the locks', waiting to
go through on her way to Portland.
The steamboat captains, despairing of
getting through the locks, decided to
exchange passengers and return. As
soon as the transfer cf passengers was
made the Regulator started for Port-,
laud.- By this time the locks were in
working order, and the Dalles City
blew its whistle for the Regulator, to
come back. After an hour's delay, and
finding that the Regulator would not
come back, the Dalles City started up
the river. The wind was blowing a
gale down . stream. The boat ;was
heavily loaded with freight and pas
sengers, and with her bow in the creek
of the canal, it was hard work to get
her turned and , headed up stream
against the wind. Night had set in
and the darkness was Intense ': The
boat had not proceeded far till it struck
a rock. She backed off and was beach
ed on a sandbar near by. ' Here she
lay for 20 hours before the passengers
could be taken off'. Fifty head of cat
tle, 50 hogs and a lot of dogs were On
the lower deck. All through the night
the east wind whistled and swept the
decks, the dogs howled, the cattle bel
lowed, the pigs squealed, and there
was no sleep for any one with nerves.
At daybreak, Purser Butler and two
deck hands managed to launch a small
boat aud rowed to Cascade Locks to
obt,ain relief for the passengers bud
crew. Day Bros.' boat Maria arrived
about noon and rescued the passengers,
who by this time considered them
selves in great danger, expecting the
boat to break in two. The boat was
lying on a small sandbar, and the sand
washing away from under the bow
and stern, caused the hog chains t6
part, and they 'came crushing down
through the cabin. The cracking of
timbers about this time was fearful, and
it seemed as if the boat would go to
pieces. The strong down stream wind
and the air full -of JHying sand, with
the mercury down to zeromade it Im
possible to take the passengers off In
small boats. The officers of the' boat
did their utmost to quiet the fears pf
the passengers and make their situa
tion as comfortable as possible. ,
