A GREAT RIVER ,
' XhoMightiest Stream of the Pnoifio
Slope Cbnrnotoridtlos of
tbo ColnmLln ,
C r. San Francisco Chronicle.
The Columbia is without much
doubt , the great river of the Pacific
slope , niul in regard to the volume of
water which it pours into the ocean
may without injustice bo rankeil with
the mighty Mississippi itself. There
is something in rivers of the lirst
magnitude which appeals forcibly to
the imagination of all men , nml the
bold ndvonturor who slumld dare to
wade through these portions of con
gressional reports which have refer
ence to the appropriations made for
internal improvements will quickly
discover that rivers hnvo been attend
ed to by congress according to size.
Legislators can hardly bo coerced into
the consideration of such questions as
nro presented by the American nnd
nnd other rivers that full into tlio
Sacramento , though of the highest
importance ; whereas there has
been n cheerful acquiescence as to
the necessity of improving
the navigation of the Columbia. Tlio
size of the latter river and the cubic
foot of water which it pours into the
Pacific inllamo their ininginationsjand
ns their ideas grow largo nnd poottc so
do the figures of the annual appro
priations \vnx and swell. It is impos
sible for congressmen to visit the no-
tunl scene of cacli proposed improve
ment. They have to inako up their
minds at second hand , nnd often
through a medium of facts improperly
' colored , either through local prejudice
or personal bias. Therefore , wo find
that they in their generous desire to
develop tlio country nndlmaintain its
natural arteries in n high dcgrcp of
efficiency , do occasionally fall into
piUholc5 , < md make hugo blunders , wo ,
the pcoplo , must not exult over thorn ,
but must remember that congressmen
nro but men , and not very superior
V mon cither.
A DOUBTFUL UNDimTAKIXO.
I hare beenled , into this chain of
remarks by n very natural process of
thought. Standing hero at the cas
cades of ttio Columbia , face to face
with the government 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
n congressional committee , the present
attempt in this spot would never have
boon made. I use the term attempt
advisedly , because I am convinced
that the undertaking never can bo
-carried to a successful issue. The un
fortunate engineer in charge is en
gaged in a liand-to-luuul conflict with
ono of the most potent forces of 'na
ture , nnd can hardly bo victorious.
The scheme , which ho did not origi
nate , and of whoso futility lie must bo
-convinced , but which ho is expected
to carry through successfully , happens
to bo In opposition to the great law by
which the mountains have boon con
verted from rectangular masses into
picturesque peaks , with broad plains
stretching faraway at their feet. Ho
is expected to build a canal nt the foot
of a disintegrating mountain. Whether
congress expects him to atop 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. If
wo wore Mohammedans we might in
voke the aid of Mohammed to remove -
move the mountain. If we wore pa-
pans , wo might ask the Kobold to
stop the falling earth at the brink of
the canal. But in the nineteenth
century , we , at least some of us , have
learned to comprehend that natural
forces are simply organic matter doing
the expressed will of the Creator ; and
vro do hot invoke supernatural aid
against the Most High. I have made
no inquiries .is to the 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 been
made upon tlio Washington territory
side 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 nro their character
istics , wo must come to the conclu
sion that in the original scheme that
side 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.
TIIK DALLKS.
Tlio distance froni Portland to
Oelilo is about 100 miles by the river ,
but in that distance the Columbia has
two great impediments , ono known as
the Cascades , the other ns the dalles ,
The readers of The Chronicle will bo
kind enough not to confound the lat
ter word with the bustling , brisk , live
ly and pleasure-loving town called by
that namo. The word is ono of the
French bits of 'rude eloquence by
which the voyngours of the old Hud
son Bay company described striking
objects , and is a proof that , unletter
ed ns they wore , nnd rough nnd uncultured -
cultured as wo deem them , their hearts
wore deeply impressed by the beauties
of the nature , nnd , their wits capable
of recording these impressions by expressive -
pressivo epithets. By dalles we may
comprehend the pavement of a ter
race , but though there is nothing in
the English language which comes so
close to it ns the cockney term "flag"
for a broad stone used in making side
walks , yet this , though it convoys the
BOIISO of flatness , size and breadth ,
does not give the whole idea. The
dalla implies the grandeur of a noble
terrace , the splendor oftho
pavement _ of a palace , and
the English tongue can only
obtain this by nn extended sentence ,
such as "broad flights of noble flag
ging , " all of which is implied by the
ono word , dalles. And it describes
the scene perfectly , for the river finds
its way through lava beds , which i nro
actual terraces , and upon which the
process of disintergration has up to
the present hour made no mark and
recorded no progress. They remain
like great masses of iron ore. To
overcome these terrible obstacles there
is but ono way , and that is to cut ,
blast , rend , trash through the lava by
giant powder lor n distance of six
miles at least , or nine miles accord
ing to other calculations , and give to
the canal thus made pome live or six
locks , for there is a fall from Oelilo to
the end of the dalles region of some
thing like n hundred feet , As the
minimum calculation for such an enterprise
terprise- would bo about $7,000,000 ,
congress very wisely his had nothing
to say to this part of the Columbia
river.
THE CASCADES.
But the other impediment , the Cas
cades , is not so terrible to look nt ,
though there is n strong probability
that oven hero n successful canal in
tlio Washington territory side could
not bo made for less than several mil
lions. The Cascades , as the name
implies , are a serius of rapids , which
at low water are very formidable , but
at high water can bo surmounted by
powerful steamers save the last one.
The government ongincersdeterniinod ,
therefore , to begin their cai'al works
at this one , since this would atVbrd
the quickest iclicf to steam navigation
and would enable the largo vessels to
got to the town of The D.xlles without
a check. Prom what I see before me ,
their nlan was to build two strong
walls in the river ; close to the south
ern shore , through which the river
could ilow unvoxed by the rocks that
form the rapids. They wore perfect
ly well aware that tno mountain
was sliding down constantly , and
that the wagon road to Portland
luul been let ddwn bodily many
feet in the course of u few years ; but
they adopted the view of the Oregon
people that this was the effect of the
rapid current of the Columbia river ,
which was continually washing the
base of the mountain , They there
fore came to the conclusion that by
nuking the canal they would crcato
still water along the shore , nnd so the
trouble would cease. How any per
son of common foresight and observa
tion eould have adopted a theory so
ridiculous must over remain a puzzle !
For had the current of the Columbia
been ton 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 the whole sur
face. The process of disintegration is
as follows :
TIIK PKOCESS OF DISINTEdUATIOX.
Formerly basalt mountains as near
ly as possible rectangular masses.
Upon these the atmosphere acts. The
lightning tears nway corners nnd
leaves great marks upon the perpen
dicular cliffs meteors rend away huge
masses ; earthquakes upheave great
terraces , and leave gorges through
which the rains that fall upon the
plateau descend as musical brooks.
But the great disintegrating agent is
snow. The soow fnlls in the winter ,
and covers the mountain with a 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 , 'the
hard basalt has to yield. The inden
tation becomes a little larger , the
crack becomes a chink , tlio chink
widens into a fissure. The insidious
water again bepins its work with the
next sun , nnd gets more and more
into the surface rock. 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 cleave into
small rectangular masses , with a col
umnar tendency. Then , under this
superficial mass of shaly basalt the
water finds it way , and 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 thorn
from vision. When they get to the
bottom they are the first beginning of
n plain. The time comes , however ,
when the mountain , by _ continual
wearing away , gets itself into such n
condition that its detritus cannot
roach 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 8INOULA11 FACT. .
Now the inon who built the wagon
road hiust bo aware that this is true ,
because they noticed us n very singu
lar fact that about n foot under the
shale there was n stratum of chunks
of ico. But it npvcr occurod to them
that melting ice must slide downward ,
because their brains wore filled with
the rapid current theory , although
the Columbia has no moro offcct upon
the mountain than I should have if I
wore to sncezo. The inevitable con
clusion to bo drawn from this is that
immediately the canal is built it will
commence to fill up. Nor can it bo
dredged , because of the locks. Upon
\Vashington \ territory side tlio dis-
intcrgrating process has been going on
so long that a plain has boon formed
at tbo foot of the mountains which is
several miles in width. Here the rail
road company have their portage , and
hero a canal could bo dug which would
bo permanent. But I cannot avo'd
asking the question whether it would
not bo more practical , more sensible ,
more remunerative , now to improve
the bar of the Columbia rather
than the Cascades ? The time
will come without question when a
canal at this point will bo imperative
ly required by the population of
Washington territory and Oregon ,
But at the present time it does seem
as if the fouling of tha inhabitants
was in favor of some improvements nt
the bar , There was a time when it
was believed that this was not needed
for it was supposed that eighteen foot
at Io\v3 water was ample for all re
quirements. But the tendency of
commurco is to increase the mo of
steamers , mid now thu vessels that
go from San Francisco to Portland art
obliged to Ho outside until flood tide.
When the weather is stormy they
cannot cross at cither high or low
water , but must beat about in tlio
ocean until it moderates and the bar
becomes passible. When it is re-
uiemberod that there is no through
railway communication between San
Francisco nnd Portland , and the al
tcriifitivo is between some railroad
traveling nt each end , eomo pretty
rough staging in the middle , nnd
three transfers , there can bo no sur
prise that people w ith baggage prefer
to go by sea.
TIIK 11AU OF THF. COLUMniA.
lint the sufferings of invalids nnd
ladies in rough weather are reallyjor-
rible , and there is not the most rem -
m to possibility of any natural im
provement The trade between tin1
two cities is rapidly increasing , bo-
can so there is great growth nnd much
enterprise on a grand scale in Oregon ;
and yet Oregon Is nnd always will bo
dependent upon San Francisco for
many comforts and luxuries , even
when the Villard projects * are com-
plotcd and Portlnnd has double con
nection with the eastern states. From
every point of view , then , it would
seem desirable that congress should
inako seine appropriation to improve
the bar of the Columbia. It is the
moro imperatively needed because
matters look as if there was to bo n
very material increase of population
in Eastern Oregon and Eastern Wash
ington territory. Tlio railroads are
being built in the interests of the inhabitants -
habitants , which the people of San
Fr.uicisco will find very ilillicull of
belief , Tlio railroad lands , the very
cream of thorn , nro being sold for the
price of government land , or in some
cascsatnllo moro. Everything tends
to provo that there will bo in this region -
gion great activity , great increase of
population. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
RATHER SEVERE PARALLEL.
Cincinnati flazcltc.
Col. Kbbort Ingcrsoll's view of
Guitcau's samtyand motive is strik
ing and suggests a parallel :
"Do you think Guitcnu is insanot"
"No moro than I am. Do you
know that ho has not yet given his
true reason for shooting Garlield ?
Ho shot him , " said the Colonel , "bo-
cause ho had been put out of the
White House. The d - d little egotist
believed that ho was mainly responsi
ble for the election of Garfield , and
wanted ollicial recognition and re
ward for his labor. Ho forced his
way into tlio president's room , and
ho was put out of it by his orders.
This touched his vanity nnd so preyed
on his egotism that ho resolved on
rovongo. Having resolved to kill the
President , ho sought for n reason that
would giyo the color of justification
to the act. Ho is lawyer enough to
know that if ho avowed any personal
hostility to the president his act
would show malice ; so lip carefully
refrained from any expression on the
subject.
' 'The quarrel between Conkling nnd
the president gayo him the desired
reason. Ho put it on the ground of
patriotism , nnd eagerly nvows that
ho had no personal reason for shoot
ing the president. Have you noticed
that never since his arrest has lie
alluded to the fact that ho was
ejected from the White House ? "
Guitcnu fancied that his work in
the campaign elected Garfiold.
Guitcau wns ejected from the White
House , and ho resolved on revenge ,
and cunningly planned to give it tlio
appearance of a political act without
peisonal malice. For that was all his
previous letter writing nnd his conned
exclamation when ho had' done the
deed.
deed.Another
Another statesman has an idea that
his part in the campaign elected
Garfield and gave him n claim on all
that Garfield has. The appointment
of a man politically opposed to him
to the Now York Collectroship ejected
him from the White House ; made him
inspire articles malignant , slanderous ,
and despicable towards the president ;
made him throw up his seat in the
senate , taking his colleague with him ,
surrendering the senate to the demo
crats , and then call upon the New-
York legislature to re-elect him upon
his own manifesto , which is a declara
tion of ivar on the president. And
all this indulgence of egotism and
personal animosity ho pretends to bo
out of consideration for the public
welfare. He is still continuing this
forlorn contest for re-election , or the
prevention of any election , although
not one-third ot the republicans have
at any time voted for him , nnd latterly
still fewer. Is not the parallel a
striking one ?
Sister Van Cott "Woo Guttonu's
Now LondciWla.Special. ( )
A recent Washington dispitch to
the effect that Guitcau based his hopes
of marrying n rich widow upon the
sccuremont of a government appoint
ment has caused much talk in this city
the past few days. AVliilo conducting
revival meetings hero last Juno Mrs.
Van Cott exhibited several letters
written her by Charles J . Guitcau ,
prefacing the act with the statement ,
tn substance , that Guitcau was for
merly nn infidel , who had been con
verted through her eilbrts , and that
since his conversion ho was the smart
est nnd most influential young man in
Chicago. The letters wore neatly
tied together with a perfumed blue
ribbon , and , rhetorically , can bo do-
ncribod as it mixture of ambiguous dis-
disscrtidiis upon thingH spiritual , nnd
rhapsodical references to his all-ab
sorbing direction , 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 privlegcd to read
the letters : "Mrs. Van Oott exhibit
ed great pride in showing the letters ,
and seemed to cherish a deep affection
for the author , and I believe she it
the wealthy widow the crack-brained
follow thought ho could marry. It it
safe to say that these letters will
never moro bo exhibited as evidence
of- what 'Sister Van Cott and God
can do for nn infidel , "
