A GREAT RIVER ,
ThoItHRlitlost Stronm oftho Pacific
Slope Chnrnotorldtlcs of
tlio Colnmliin.
C r. S\n Krancl co Chronicle.
The Columbia ia without much
doubt , the great river of tlio Pacific
slope , And in regard to the volume of
water which it pours into the ocean
may without injustice bp ranked with
Iho mighty Mississippi itself. There
is something in rivers of the first
magnitude which appeals forcibly to
the imagination of nil men , nnd the
bold ndvonturor who should dare to
wade through tlioao portions of con
gressional reports which have reference -
once to the appropriations made for
internal improvements will quickly
discover that rivers linvo been attend
ed to by congress according to size.
Legislators can hardly bo coerced into
the consideration of such questions a %
nro presented by the American and
* 1 nnd other rivers that fall into the
) Sacramento , though of the highest
importance ; whereas there 1ms
been a cheerful acquiescence as to
the necessity of improving
the navigation of the Columbia. The
41 eizo of the latter river and the cubits
fnj feet of water which it pours into the
Yil Pacific inllamo their imaginntionsand ,
ns their ideas grow largo and poetic so
do Iho figures of the annual appio-
priations wax and swell. It ia impos
sible for congressmen to visit the no-
1 tunl scene of each proposed improve
ment. They have to make up their
4 minds at second hand , nnd often
medium of facts
through a improperly
colored , either through local prejudice
or personal bias. Therefore , wo find
that they in their generous desire to
develop the country nndjtnaintain its
J natural arteries in a high dcgrcp of
I
efficiency , do occasionally fall into
pit-holeand make hugo blunders , wo ,
the people , must not exult over them ,
but must remember that congressmen
nro but men , and not very superior
men either.
A DOUBTFUL UKUERTAKIXQ.
I have boon led into this chain of
remarks by a very natural process of
thought. Standing hero at the cas
cades of tlio Columbia , face to face
with the govornmdnt works now in
progress , I cannot but bo convinced
that if no project of importance in
volving the expenditure of many mil
lions could be inaugurated by con
gress without a preliminary visit from
a congressional committee , the present
attempt in this spot \\oukl never have
boon mado. I use the term attempt
advisedly , because I am convinced
that the undertaking never can bo
carried to a successful issue. Tlio un
fortunate engineer in charge is en
gaged in a hand-to-hand conflict with
one of the most potent forces of na
ture , and can hardly bo victorious.
The scheme , which ho did not origi
nate , and of whoso futility ho must bo
convinced , but which ho is expected
to carry through successfully , happens
to bo ( n opposition to the great law by
which the mountains have boon con
verted from rectangular masses into
picturesque peaks , with broad plains
stretching far away at their feet. Ho
is expected to build a canal nt the foot
of a disintegrating mountain. Whether
congress expects him to stop the pro
cess of disintegration , or to prevent
the canal from being filled up , will
bo hard to determine. But it is
obvious that for the canal
to bo of any utility towards
the navigation of the Columbia ono of
these two things must bo done. _ lf
we were Mohammedans wo might in
voke the aid of Mohammed to re
move the mountain. If wo were pa-
pans , wo might nsk the Kobold to
stop the falling earth at the brink of
the canal. But in the nineteenth
century , wo , at least some of us , have
learned to comprehend that natural
forces are simply organic matter doing
the expressed will of the Creator ; and
wo do not invoke supernatural aid
against the Most High I have made
110 inquiries as to tlio paternity of this
canal scheme , because it is quite pos
sible that the project as it issued
from the brain of ono engineer may
have been perfectly sound and logical ,
and may have boon turned into noth
ingness and folly by meddling poli
ticians , from the smaller considera
tions. For if the canal had boon
made upon the Washington territory
aide of the river there would have
been nothing to impede its continu
ous and rapid progress to a triumphant
conclusion , and to a busy career of
usefulness over afterward. And if
wo go upon the soundest principles of
reasoning and ascribe to professional
engineers the keenness and compre
hension which are their character
istics , wo must como to the conclu
sion that in the original scheme that
ido was chosen , but that some politi
cal Ahriman pierced the egg ot the
engineering Ormuzd and made con
fusion out of discretion. These are
the facts.
THE DALIKS.
The distance from Portland to
Celilo is about 100 miles by the river ,
but in that distance the Columbia has
two great impediments , ono known ns
the Uuscndos , the other as the dalles ,
Tlio readers of The Chronicle will bo
kind enough not to confound the lat
ter word with the bustling , brisk , lively -
ly and ploasuro-loving town called by
that name. The word is ono of the
i French bits of 'rude eloquence by
which the voyageurs of the old Hud
son Bay company described striking
objects , and is a proof that , unletter
ed as they wore , and rough and un
cultured as wo deem them , their hearts
wore deeply impressed by the beauties
of the nature , and , their wits capable
of recording these impressions by ex
pressive epithets , By dalles wo may
comprehend the pavement of a ter
race , but though there ia nothing in
the English language which comes so
close to it as the cockney term "flag"
r for a broad stone used in making sidewalks -
walks , yet this , though it convoys the
( sense of flatness , size and breadth ,
. does not give the whole idea. The
dalles implies the grandeur of a noble
terrace , the splendor of the
pavement of a palace , and
lf < . the English tongue can only
obtain this by an extended sentence ,
' / such as "broad flights of noble flag
ging , " all of which is implied by the
> k one word , dalles. And it describes
the scone perfectly , for the river finds
its \ay through lava beds , which i are
actual terraces , and upon which the
kv process of disintegration lias up to
the present hour made no mark and
recorded no progress. They remain
like great masses of iron oro. To
W ;
- "
z t
overcome thcso terrible obstacles there
is but ono way , nnd that is to cut ,
blast , rend , trash through the lava by
giant powder lor a distance of six
miles nt least , or nine miles accord
ing to other calculations , nnd give to
the canal thus mndo nome live or six
locks , for there is n fall from Oclilo to
the end of the dalles region of some
thing like n hundred feet. Aa the
minimum calculation for such nn en
terprise would bo about $7,000,000 ,
congress very wisely h-vs had nothing
to say to this part of the Columbia
river.
THE CA ilAHE < l.
But the other impediment , the Cas
cades , is not so terrible to look at ,
[ hough there is a strong probability
'hat oven hero a successful canal in
lie Washington territory side could
not bo made for loss than several mil-
.ions. The Cascades , as the name
implies , are a series of rapids , which
\t low water nro very formidable , but
at high water can bo surmounted by
powerful steamers save the last one.
I'ho government ongineersdctormincd ,
iheroforo , to begin their canal works
at this one , since \\ouldatTbrd
: ho quickest relief to steam navigation
and would enable the largo vessels to
got to the town of Tlio D.xlles without
check. From wlmt I see before me ,
; heir plan was to build two strong
nlls in the river ; close to Iho south
ern shore , through which the river
could flow unvoxed by the rocks that
; orm the rapids. They were perfect
ly well nwaro that tno mountain
\\nn sliding down constantly , nnd
ih.xt the wagon road to Portland
" : iul : been let down bodily many
oot in the course of a few years ; but
; hey adopted the view of the Oregon
: > ooplo that this wns the ofl'cct of the
rapid current of the Columbia river ,
which wns continually washing the
3.iso of the mountain. They there-
toro came to the conclusion that by
making the canal they would create
still water along the shore , and so the
trouble would cease. How any per
son of common foresight and observa
tion eould have adopted a theory so
ridiculous must ever remain a puzzle !
For had the current of the Columbia
been ten times swifter than it is , it
could not have reduced the hard basalt
upon the whole slope of the mountain
into small pieces of shale. Admit
ting that it washed away the base , it
could not disintegrate tup whole sur
face. The process of disintegration is
as follows :
THE mOCESS OF DISINTEGRATION.
Formerly basalt mountains as near
ly ns possible rectangular mosses.
Upon these the atmosphere acts. The
lightning tears away corners and
leaves great marks upon the perpen
dicular cliffs meteors rend away hugo
masses ; earthquakes upheave great
terraces , nnd leave gorges through
which the rains that fall upon the
plateau descend as musical br&oks.
But the great disintegrating agent is
snow. The BOOW falls in the winter ,
and covers the monntaii ) with n mantle
of deceitful protection. In the spring
the snows melt in the daytime under
the fostering warmth of the sun , and
the water fits itself into every crevice ,
every little indention and irregularity
of surface. Then , at night time , it
freezes , and as water expands in
freezing with irresistible power , 'tho
hard basalt has to yield. The inden
tation becomes a little larger , the
crack becomes a chink , the chink
widens into a fissure. The insidious
water again bepins its woik with the
next sun , and gets more and more
into the surface iitck. The
balast has ono law which it must
obey that of cleavage. Its cleavage
is columnar , and as the water works
upon it by alternate contraction and
expansion it begins to oloavo into
small rectangular masses , with a col
umnar tendency. Then , under this
superficial mass of shaly basalt the
water finds it way , nnd remains in
pellets of ice until the sun is warm
enough to melt them. As they melt
they must go down sliding to the low
est level , and they bring with thorn
the whole superincumbent stratum of
disintegrated basalt that hides them
From vision. When they get to the
bottom they are the first beginning of
a plain. Tlio time comes , however ,
when the mountain , by continual
wearing away , gets itself into such a
condition that its detritus cannot
reach the plain , but is compelled to
form subsidiary hills. The water ac
cumulates under them silently until it
acquires force to move the whole , and
then the subsidiary hill , with all its
trees , plains , orchards , houses nnd in
habitants comes sliding down in fear
ful ruin.
A SINGULAR FACT.
Now the men who built the wagon
road Inust bo aware that this is true ,
because they noticed as a very singu
lar fact that about a foot under the
shale there was a stratum of chunks
of ice. But it never occurod to thorn
that molting ice must slide downward ,
because their brains wore filled with
the rapid current theory , although
the Columbia has no more effect upon
the mountain than I should have if I
were to snee/co. The innvitablo con
elusion to bo drawn from this is that
immediately the canal is built it will
commence to fill up. Nor oan it be
dredged , because of the locks , Upon
the Washington territory side the dis
integrating prbcoaa has boon going on
BO long that n plain has boon formed
at tbo foot of the mountains which is
several miles in width. Hero the rail
road company have their portage , and
here a canal could bo dug which would
bo permanent. But I cannot avo'd
asking the question whether it would
not be more practical , more sensible ,
more remunerative , now to improve
the bar of the Columbia rather
than the Cascades ? Tlio tirao
will como without question when a
canal at this point will bo imperative
ly required by the population ol
Washington territory and Oregon.
But at the present time it does seem
as if the feeling of the inhabitants
was in favor of some improvements at
the bar. There was a time when it
was believed that this was not needed
for it was supposed that eighteen feel
nt jowj water wtw * ample for all re
quirements. But the tendency ol
commerce is to increase the mzo o :
steamers , and now the vessels that
go from San Francisco to Portland ar
obliged to lie outside until flood tide.
When the weather is stormy they
cannot cross at cither high or low
water , but must beat about in the
ocean until it moderates and the bar
becomes passible. When it is ro
inemberod that there is no througl
railway communication between San
Francisco and Portland , and the al
.ornativo . is between some railroad
r.\relmg at each end , some pretty
ough staging in the middle , nnd
: hreo transfers , there can be no sur
prise that people n ith baggage prefer
: o go by sen.
THK llAtt OF THF. fOtUMnt.V.
But the sufferings of invalids nnd
adies in rough weather are really ter
rible , and there is not the most ron -
n to possibility of any natural im-
irovcniont. The trafio between tln
.wo cities is rapidly increasing , bo-
sauso thereis great growth nnd much
intnrpriso on a grand scale in Oregon ;
nnd yet Oregon is and always v ill bo
lopondont upon San Fr.uicisco for
nany comforts nnd luxuries , oven
vhon the Villanl projects -are corn-
doted and Portland h.is double con-
lection with the eastern states , From
ivcry point of view , then , it would
com desirable that congicss should
nako some npproprintioti to improve
ho bar of the Columbia. It is the
nero imperatively needed because
natters look as if thcio was to bo a
cry material increase of population
n Eastern Oregon nnd Eastern Wash-
ngton territory. The railroads are
> omg built in the interests of the in-
militant * , which the people of San
? r.uicisco will find very difficult of
ollof , The railroad Inmls , tlio very
team of them , nro being sold for the
irico of government Innd , or in some
nscsa trillo more. Everything tends
o provothnt there will bo in this ro-
; ion great activity , great incioase of
lopulation.
RATHER SEVERE
Jlnclmmtl Gazette.
Col. Kbbort Incorsoll's view of
' ia strik-
uitoAtt'a Banityanu motive -
ng niul suggests n parallel :
"Do you think Guiteau is insane ? "
"No moro than I inn. Do you
enow that ho has not yet given his
, rue reason for shooting Gailiold ?
lie shot him , " saul the Colonel , "be
cause ho had been put out of the
White House. The d-d littluegotist
) eliovcd that ho was mainly rcsponsi-
) lo for the election of Garfield , nnd
vantod oflicial iccognition nnd re-
vurd for his labor. Ho forced his
vay into tlio president's loom , nnd
10 was put out of it by his orders.
This touched hia vanity nnd BO preyed
on his egotism that ho resolved on
revenge. Having resolved to kill the
President , ho sought for a reason that
would giyo the color of justification
; o the act. Ho is lawyer enough to
mow that if ho avowed any personal
lostility to the president his net
would show malice ; BO ho carefully
refrained from any expression on the
subject.
"Tho quarrel between Colliding and
the president gave him the desired
reason. Ho put it on the ground of
latriotism , and cngcrly avows that
10 had no personal icason for shooi
ng the president. Have you noticed
that never since his arrest has ho
alluded to the fact that ho was
ejected from the White House ? "
Guiteau fancied that his work in
; ho campaign elected Garfield.
juitoau was ejected from the White
House , and he resolved on revenge ,
nnd cunningly planned to give it the
appearance of a political not without
personal malice. For that was all his
irovious letter writing and his conned
exclamation when ho had done the
deed.
Another statesman has an idea tlmt
iis part in the campaign elected
Garfield nnd gave him a claim on all
that Garfield has. The appointment
of a man politically opposed to him
; o the Now York Collcctroship ejected
liim from the White House ; made him
inspire articles malignant , slanderous ,
and despicable towards the president ;
nado him throw up his seat in the
senate , taking his colleague with him ,
surrendering the senate to the domo-
rats , and then call upon the Now
York legislature to re-elect him upon
iis own manifesto , which is a declara-
, ion of war on the president. And
ill this indulgence of egotism and
) orsonal animosity ho pretends to bo
jut of consideration for the public
Yolfare. Ho is still continuing this
brlorn contest for re-election , or the
irevontion of any election , although
lot one-third of the republicans have
at any time voted for him , and latterly
still fewer. Is not the parallel n
striking one ?
Sister Van Cott Waa Gultonu'a
Flame
New I.onilctWls. ( ) Special.
A recent Washington dispitch to
the effect tlmt Guiteau based his hopes
of marrying a rich widow upon _ the
Bccurcmont of a government appoint
ment has caused much talk in this city
the past few days. While conducting
revival meetings hero last Juno Mrs.
Van Cott exhibited several letters
written her by Charles J. Guiteau ,
prefacing the act with the statement ,
: n substance , that Guitcau was for
merly an infidel , who had been con
verted throuuh her ellbrts , nnd that
since his conversion ho was the smart-
cst and most influential young man in
Chicago. The letters were neatly
tied together with a perfumed blue
ribbon , nnd , rhetorically , can bo described >
scribed ns u mixture of ambiguous dis
disscrtit-ms upon things spiritual , and
rhapsodical references to his nil-ab
sorbing affection , profound admiration
For , and inexpressible gratitude to the
lady evangelist who had rescued him
From hades' dark abyss. Said ono of
the ladies who was privleged to road
the letters : "Mrs. Van Oott exhibit
ed t'reat pride in showing the letters ,
Mid seemed to cherish a deep affection
For the author , nnd I believe she m
the wealthy widow iho crack-brained
follow thought ho could marry , It is
safe to say that these letters will
never moro bo exhibited as evidence
of. what 'Sister Van Cott and God' '
can do for an infidel , "
