The farn

have a grievance that is
well founded. Tho jainmintt of the
Ioa'h in the river has caused the wa
ters of tho river to overflow aud do
serious damage when the river was
being llushod, and on the other hand
in the summer soasou when the water
was being stored preparatory to a
flushing, the clover crop of the farm
ers, which is a great crop in the re
gion of Trout Lake, was seriously in
jured by reason of scarcity of water
for irrigation.
The farmers claim that the injunc

necessity of litigation, but cannot
yield to tho corporation tho right to
damage their lands and diminish their
profits as farmers.

The account on a trip from Walla
WaJJa to Sao i'rancii eo iu isty makes
interesting reading alter a lapse of Li
years, il'he following article is a por
tion of a letter read by Mrs. ('. J.
Craiidail of Tho Dalies, before the
Sorosis club of that city recently.
The original was published in the
Walla Walla Statesman by Captain
Mullen, in 18112:
"Kor those w ho have made the jour
ney direct from Walla Walla, through
the agricultural heart of Oregon,
aud across tho mountain through the
milling region of northern California
there is much of interest aud pleasure.
The model of conveyance from Walla
Walla to Wallula is by daily stage, a
journey of six hours, at a cost of ?.ri,
and brings you to the Columbia river
where you take steamers for lies
Chutes landing. It has more than
once occured to me that the Walla
Walla river, by a system of locks.
could be used advantageously as a line
of connection lictween Walla Walla
and Wallula, and one has only to see
the long lue of wagons aud pack trains
heavily freighted for the interior, to
become conviucd that either this or
some other rapid and economical

I dor to connect the heart of the valley
I with the Columbia river. At Wallnlii
i one is pleased w ith the commercial
cuuracier w mcn mis point is lust as-
suaiing. freight strewn along tho
l leveo tor half a mile, stores erected,
commission houses tilvinif their voca-1
tions and everything giving an earnest
HOOD RIVER
of a prosperous future. This site has
doubtless many advantages as a com
mercial point.
"We took passage oil the pleasant
steamer Tenino and iu eight hours
were landed at Celilo, a point two
miles lielow Des Chutes landing,
where the Oregon Steam Navigation
Company have already formed the
nucleus of a thriving vilhure.
"The freshets of the past season have
strewn tho banks of the Columbia
with cord wood in abundance, which
commands 10 per cord. The Johu
Day's wood yard is the cheif depot
for fuel. Here we saw two steamers
building, one already launched
owned by Captain tiray at Celilo,
t he other of large dimensions. There
is no doubt wo are far in advance iu
the question of river navigation of
those similarly engaged In Eastern
waters. Tho fare from Wallula to
Celilo is 10.
"A ride of three hours brings us to
The Dalles, which point, too, is show
ing visible signs of healthy improve
ment ami tho increasing trade to the
mines of tho John Day aud Powder
rivers is destined to make it a point
of commercial import. Whether the
idea entertained by Mr. Newell (Ed
itor W. II. Newell, an early proprietor
of tho Mountaineer) aud other men
at the Dalles, of a direct trade from
San Francisco to The Dalles shall
ever be realized is not so easy to be
determined. The railroad company
have resumed the work of grading and
ballasting and it is the desire of tho
company to have tho cars running
by the Ilrst of May next (18011). The
road bed is prepared for some live or
six miles out from the city aud the
iron track laid for half a mile. My
own com lciions are, that the rail
road eventually is to lie more benefi
cial to Walla ttulla than to The Dalles;
but that the latter is also to derive
much benelit no one will doubt.
"We found tho line of opposition
steamers, vhiih have the tendoucv
to reduco rates of travel and freight,
was a thing that commercial and
travelling public, were too glad to
see. The t assago from The Dalles to
lJotflaiid was but a dollar. That com
petition on this immense line will bo
fraught with healthy results no one
win doubt. The Oregon Steam Navi
gation company, as tho pioneers on
an tin tested river, do certainly merit
much credit for the bold buzzard they
so successfully made, and merit re
ward us such and though many com
plaints, founded by justice doubtless,
have been argued, still the history of
all monopolies has shown a ureater
degree of extortion than I have urged
iigainst tills company. lint so long
us the Columbia river shall remain an
open sea I do heartily desire to see
competition seek hero a channel of
investment and which it will alwuvs
do so long as it is found to pay. All
philanthropic Ideas of "parties desir
ing to serve the public without being
remunerated," will Hud no believers
among the merchants and travelers
of the Upper Columbia. The mer
chant and traveler will tako that line
where the rates are the lowest and tho
accommodations are the best, irre
spective of the owners of the lines or
tliose who pioneered them through to
a success.'
"At least this is the history of the
commercial past, and I see no reason
why it should not bo the history of
the commercial future. Just so soon
as capitalists find that putting steam
ers tm the Upper Columbia is a pay
ing investment steamers will lo put
on, and unless tho capitalist is so con
vinced, it will lie a ditllcult task to
turn his capital into such a channel.
"The portage of the Cascades is
now made in a brief hour on the
curs without detriment or danger.
Aif xtra dollar is charged, though if
you prefer it you can walk in nearly
the same time free of cost. This
portage is on tho Oregon side and no
traveler passes over this road without
awarding to Colonel Ruckle every
praise for the bold prosecution of his
project, and no one begrudge him
the ample reward which be is today
receiving for his past labors. It is
to bo hoped that the difficulties be
tween liradford and llusli will lie
speedily adjsted, so that the stoam
cars now running on a portiou of the
track already completed, shall connect
the two termini of tho portage and
thus reduce the time of travel within
tho minimum limits. Tho fort at
I'oi t Cascades is now abandoned, nor
does it seem at present necessary to
hold it under garrison so far as tho
Indians are concerned.
A run of several hours brines us
to Portland. I feur from the present
appearance of Vancouver that all
chances of commercial rivalry with
Portland has been banished. The
large crowd that daily assembles on
the wharf on the arrival of the steamer
from Tho Dalies is an unerring bar
ometer of the interest felt iu the de
velopment of the upper country. The
establishment of a branch mint either
at Portland or at The Dalles, is daily
Is-comiug a subject of commercial ne
cessity. If there is a point where ar
aguuient could be adduced to deter
mine the matter, that point is Walla
Walla. For it is here whore the
greater bulk of the gold dust must
flow, and if not here then at The
Dalles the Golden (late of the Unner
Columbia. "

DEPENDS ON
RIGHT OF WAY
RAILROAD ROUTE NOT SELECTED
Last Slilers Want lioatl to Conte their
Way Several Surveys
Made.
"If we can sifiile the necessary
rights of way we hoec to have our
railroad iu operation by next Septem
ber," remarked W. ll'. Kej le.-t of t ho
Oregon Lumber Co., in couversat ion
with a Ulaeior reporter.
Mr. Kccles arrived in Hood Kiver
last Thursday night, lie was accom
panied by Mr. West, the Oregon
Lumber (Jo's, chief eugiueer. Mr.
West expects to remain here several
months, and if tho railroad up the
valley is constructed will stipt rinleud
the engineering work.
It was given out last week from the
head olllce of the company in Ogdeii
that tho board of directors had decid
ed to build the road up the west side
of the valley, but it seems that no
such ilnal decision bits been made.
While the route would mean an
easier grade, is four miles shorter and
would lessen the cost of const ruction
975,1)00 or more, several of the influ
ential citizens of the Last Side, among
whom are C. II. Hone, W. II. Sears,
C. K. Marahull, Hurt VaulIorii,Wi.Hiiim
Kennedy and others have taken it up
on themselves to interest their neigh
bors in offering the company induce
ments in the shape of rights of way
for building up the Lust Side of the
valley.
The Oregon Lumber Co. owns 20, 0H0
acres of timlior along the headwaters
of Hood river, and it is primarily for
tho purpose of bringing this timber
to the saw mill iu thU city that tho
railroad will bo built. Other parties
own largo timber interests iu the up
per part of the valley, ami the railroad
is considered necessary to bring out
the sawlogs. Driving the river has
not lioen found at all satisfactory.
"We could not think of building
the road merely for the passenger
tralllo of tho valley," said Mr. Kccles.
"Neither could anyone else. lSusiness
will not justify It for years to come.
We figure that tho road will cost be
tween fclfiO.lHH) and )0,000, More
than likely it will take all the latter
sum.
"A number of feasible routes have
been found. The selection of any
one of those w ill depend a great doiil
on tho cost of securing rights of
way . "
It was stated to Mr. Kccles that
some people feared the freight charg
es would be exorbitant, and that the
farmers could not all'ord to patronize
the road after it was built.
"No, no," replied Mr. Kccles,
"we couldn't do anything liko that.
Tho farmers would continue to haul
their fruit and cordwood as they do
now. I am certain it w ill be cheaper
by half for the farmers to ship their
fruit aud hay by the railroad than it
costs them now to haul it w ith teams. "
Kngineer West firmly believes the
railroad will be the making of the
upper part of the valley. "It will
give them an easy meaiia uf trans
portation, " saitl he, "anil will open
up a part of tho valley to settlement
where laud is cheap now because it
is too far to lutil fruit and other
produce to market.
"A railroad will add many dollars
to the value of the fruit farms of the
valley. "

AniithiT Story of Jierman Williams.
"1 sang and prayed ut the funeral
service of one of Norman Williams'
supposed victims at Muscatine, loaw,
iu .August or iwj . said a lieutenant
of the Salvation army to a Chronicle
reporter. "It was Mrs. Tiimaii, who
was murdered at her home about two
miles from that city, August 1(1. Her
in-other came to my caiitiuu In treat
distress and said that U cause his
shier bad not lived tho life she onirht
to, the church refused to give her
burial.
So we went to the undertakers' aud
held services; also at the cemetery.
1 remember that the woman was in
a terrible condition., one side of the
skull being mashed in. Her husbund
had also been so badly beaten that he
was iu an unconscious condition and
died a week later from blood poison
ing, never gaining consciousness to
tell who did the deed. People wero
dreadfully wrought up and accused a
man by the name of Williams, who had
come to their farm as a tramp aud
was taken in. He left at the time of
the murder and was traced to llur-
lington, but never heard from again
until letters received from the sberilf
here informed them that letters
brought iu evidence were written bv
Williams at Hurlington a week after
the murder. It was supposed that
Williams was the former husband of
Mrs. Toman, as she bal been inuriled

How to Locate Irrigating Pitches.

The services of a civil etiiL'iieer. .
while desirable, are not absolutely
necessary iu locating ditches. Take
a pine plank 2x0 inches, by 10 foot
long, surfaced ou all sides, the edges
of which should be reduced to a per
fectly true straight edge. At tho ex
act center of the stick, ou oue edge
fasten a carpenter's spirit level w ith
such accuracy that when the plank is
set ou edge on a level surface, tho
bubble will indicate a level. To lo-
cute a ditch with a fall of A ol an
inch to tho rod, itttach at the extreme
end of the plank, on the opposite
edge to the carpeuts's level, a block of
wood !i of an men thick. liegiuing
at the highest point ou the laud to
which the water is to be conducted.
drive a stake so that its top w ill be
six inches above the surfneo. On
tho top of this stake placo the end of
tho straight edge to which the J4'-inch
DlocK is fastened, the block restinu
on the stake. Drive the next t,tuko
toward tho source of the stream, at
such a point that the second stake will
project six inches above the purfuce
and the straight edge rest on both
stakes. The level on the straight edge
one full rod from the first stake,
will indicate a true level. Obviodily
a ditch dug Isntwoen these two stakes,
at a uniform depth below the top of
each stake, would bo .'-liich deeper
at the lower end of the ditch. Proceed
thus until the top of the last stake is
six inches above tho surfneo of the
water iu the stream.
FOUTS WINS SUIT
AGAINST THE CITY
Judge liradshaw, last week, hand
ed down a decision in the circuit
court, upholding the local option law
in Hood Kiver, aud deciding that tho
