“ A GREAT RIVER, Tho Mightiest Stream of the Pacifio Slope--Charncteristios of the Columbia, Car. San Francisco Chronicle. The Columbia is without much doubt, the great river of the Pacific slope, and in regard to the volame of water which it pours into the ocean may without injustice be ranked with the mighty Mississippi itself. There is something in rivers of the first magnitude which appeals forcibly to the imagination of all men, and the bold adventurer who shquld dare to wade through those portions of con- gressional reports which have refer- ence to the appropriations made for internal improvements will quickly discover that rivers have been attend- ed to by congress according to _size. Legislators can hardly be coerced into the consideration of such questions as are presented by the American and and other rivers that fall into the Sacramento, though of the highest importance; whereas there has been a cheerful acquicsconce a8 to the necessity of improving the navigation of the Columbia. The size of the latter river and the cubic feet of water which it pours into the Pacific inflame their imaginations,and as their ideas grow large and poetic so do the figures of the aunnual appro- priations wax and swell. It is impos- sible for congressmen to visit the ac- tual scene of each proposed improve- ment, They have to make up their minds at second hand, and often through a medium of facts improperly colored, either through local prejudice or personal bias. Therefore, we find that they in their generous desire to develop the country and!'maintain its natural arteries in a high degree of efficiency, do occasionally fall into pit<holes,and make huge blunders, we, the people, must not exult over them, but must remember that congressmen are but men, and not very superior men either. A DOUBTFUL UNDERTAKING, I have been led into this chain of remarks by a very natural process of thought. Standing here at the cas- cades of the Columbia, face to face with the government works now in progress, 1 cannot but be 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 would never have been made. I use the term attempt advisedly, because I am convinced that the undertaking never can be carried to a successful issue. The 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 be victorious. The scheme, which he did not origi- nate, and of whose futility he must be convinced, but which he is expected to carry through successfully, happens to be in opposition to the great law by which the mountains have been con- verted from rectangular masses into picturesque peaks, with broad plains stretching faraway at their feet. He is expected to build a canal at 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 be hard to determine. But it is obvious that for the canal to be of any utility towards the navigation of the Columbia one of these two things must be done. 1f we were Mohammedans we might in- voke the aid of Mohammed to re- move the mountain. If we were pa- pans, we 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 we do fot invoke supernatural aid against the Most High. I have made no inquiries as to the paternity of this canal scheme, because it i8 quite pos- sible that the project as it issued from the brain of one engineer may have been perfectly sound and logical, and may have been turned into noth- ingness and folly by meddling poli- ticians, from the smaller considera- tions. For if the canal had been made upon the 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 ever afterward. And if we go upon the soundest principles of reasoning and ascribe to professional engineers the keenness and compre- hension which are their character- istics, we 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, THE DALLES, The distance from Portland to Celilo is about 100 miles by the river, but in that distance the Columbia has two great impediments, one known as the Cascades, the other as the dalles, The readers of The Chronicle will be kind enough not to confound the lat. ter word with the bustling, brisk, live- ly and pleasure-loving town called by that name. The word is one of the French bits of ‘rude eloquence b; which the voyageurs of the old Hud- son Bay company described striking objects, and is a proof that, unletter- ed as they were, and rough and un- cultured as we deem them, their hearts were deeply impressed by the beauties of the nature, and, their wits capable of recording these impressions Ly ex- pressive 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 as the cockney term ‘‘flag"” for a broad stone used in making side- walks, yot this, though it conveys the sense of flatness, size and breadth, does not give the whole idea. The dalles implies the grandeur of a noble ‘water finds it way, an overcome these terrible obstacles there is but one way, and that is to cut, blast, rend, trash through the lava by giant powder tor a distance of six miles at least, or nine miles accord ing to other ealeulations, and give to the canal thus made some five or six locks, for there is a fall from Oelilo to the end of the dalles region of some- thing like a hundred feet. As the minimum caleulation for such an en terprise would be about &7,000,000, congress vory wisely has 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 at, though there is & strong probability that even here a successful canal in the Washington territory side could not be made for less than several mil- lions. The Cascades, as the name implies, are a series of rapids, which at low water are very formidable, but at high wator can be surmounted by powerfel steamers —save the last one The government engincersdetermined, therefore, to begin their canal works at this one, since this would afford the quickest relief to steam navigation and would enable the large vessels to get to the town of The Dalles without a check, From what T see before me, their plan was to build two strong walls in the river; close to the south- ern shore, through which the river could flow unvexed by the rocks that form the rapids. They were perfect- ly well aware that tne mountain was sliding down constantly, and that the wagon road to Portland had been let down bodily many feet in the course of a 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 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 the whole sur- face. The process of disintegration is as follows: THE PROCESS OF DISINTEGRATION. Formerly basalt mountains as near- ly as possible rectangular masses. Upon these the atmosphere acts. The lightning tears away corners and 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 falls in the winter, and covers the monntain 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 ofsurface. 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, the chink widens into a fissure, The insidious water again begins its work with the next sun, and gets more and more into the surfaco rock., The balast has one 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 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 them the whole superincumbont stratum of disintegrated basalt that hides them from vision, When they get to the bottom they are the first beginning of aplain. The 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, housesand in- habitants comes shding down in fear, ful ruin, A SINGULAR FACT, Now the men who built the wagon road must be 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 occured to them that melting ice must slide downward, because their brains were filled with the rapid current theory, although the Cul}:mlbin has no mors effect upon the mountain than I should have if T were to sneeze. The inevitable con- clusion to be drawn from this is that immediately the canal is built it will commence to fill up. Nor can it be dredged, because of the locks, Upon the Washington territory side the dis- intergrating process has been going on 80 long that a plain has been formed at the foot of the mountains which 18 several miles in width, Here the rail- road company have their portage, and here a canal could be dugwhich would be 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? The time will come without question?” when a canal at this point wiil be imperative- ly required by the population of 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 feet terrace, the splendor of the pavement of a palace, and 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 one word, dalles. And it describes the scene perfectly, for the river finds its way through lava beds, which+ are actual terraces, and upon which the process of disintergration has up to the present hour made no mark and recorded no progress. They romain like great masses of iron ore. To at low3 water was, ample for all re- quirements. But the tendency of commerce is to increase the size of steamers, and now the vessels that go from San Francisco to Portland are obliged to lie outside until flood tide. When the weather is stormy they cannot cross at either high or low water, but must beat about in the ocean until it woderates and the bar becomes passible. When it is re- membered that there 1s no through l;llw y communication between San ra THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1881. ternative is between some railroad traveling at each end, some pretty rough staging in the middle, and three transfers, there can be no sur prise that people with baggage prefer to go by sea THE BAR OF THE COLUMBIA. But the sufferings of invalids and ladies in rough weather are really ter rible, and there is not the most re- mate possibility of any natural im provement. two citios is rapidly increasing, be cause there is great growth and much and yet Oregon 15 and always will be dependent upon San Francisco for many comforts and luxuries, even when the Villard projects -are com- pleted and Portland has double con nection with the eastern states. From every point of view, then, seem desirable that congress should make some appropriation to improve the bar of the Columbia. Ttis the more imperatively needed because matters look as if there was to bea very material increase of population in Kastern Oregon and Eastern Wash- ington_territory, The railroads are seing built in the interests of the in- habitants, which the people of San Francisco will find yery difficult o bolief. The railroad lands, the very cream of them, are being sold for the price of government land, or in some cases a trifle more. Everything tends to prove that there will be in this ro gion great activity, great increase of population. RATHER SEVERE PARALLEL. Cincinnati Gazotte. Col. Robert Ingersoll's view of Guiteau’s sanityand motive is strik- ing and suggests a parallel: “Do you think Guiteau is insane?” ““No more than I am. Do you know that he has not yet given his true reason for shooting Garfield? He shot him,” smid the Colonel, ‘‘be- cause he had been put out of the White House. The d-d little egotist believed that he was mainly vesponsi- ble for the election of Garfield, and wanted official recognition and re- ward for his labor. He forced his way into the president’s room, and e was put out of it by his orders. This touched his vanity and so preyed on his egotism that he resolved on revenge. Having resolved to kill the President, he sought for a reason that would giye the color of justification to the act. He is lawyer enough to know that if he avowed any personal hostility to the president his act would show malice; so he carefully refrained from any expression on the subject. “The quarrel between Conkling and the president gave him the desired reason. He put it on the ground of }mtriutinm, and eagerly avows that he had no personal reason for shoot- ing the president. Have you noticed that never since his arrest has he alluded to the fact that he was cjected from the White House?” Guiteau fancied that his work in the campaign elected Garfield. Guiteau was ejected from the White House, and he resolved on revenge, and cunningly planned to give it the appearance of a political act without personal malice. For that was all his previous letter writing and his conned exclamation when he had dene the deed. Another statesman has an idea that his part in the campaign elected Garfield and gave him a claim on all that Garfield has, The appointment of a man politically opposed to him to the New York Collectroship ejected him from the White House; made him inspire articles malignant, slanderous, and despicable towards the prasident; 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 war on the president. And all this indulgence of egotism and personal animosity he pretends to be out of consideration for the public welfare, Heis still continuing this forlorn contest for re-election, or the prevention of any election, although not one-third of the republicans have at any time voted for him, and latterly still fewer. Is not the parallel a striking one? Sister Van Cott Was Guiteau'’s Flame. New Lond 1 (Wis.) Special, A recent Washington dispatch to the effect that Guiteau based his hopes of marrying a rich widow upon the securement of a_government appoint- ment has caused much talk in l}li! city the past few days, While conducting revival meetings here last June Mrs, Van Cott exhibited several letters written her by Charles J, Guiteau, pmfucing the act with the statement, in substance, that Guiteau was for- merly an infidel, who had been con- verted through her efforts, and that since his conversion ho was the smart- est and most_influential young man in Chicago. The letters were neatly tied together with a perfumed blue ribbon, and, rhetorically, can be de- seribod as u mixture of ambiguous dis- dissertions upon things spiritual, and rhapsodical references to his all-ab- sorbing affection, profound admiration for, and inexpressmble gratitude to the FAE A el B e from hades’ dark abyss. Said one of the ladies who was privleged to read the letters: *‘Mrs. Van Cott exhibit- ed great pride in showing the letters, and seemed to cherish a deep affection for the author, and I believe she s the wealthy widow the crack-brained fellow thought he could marry. It is safo to say that those letters will never more be exhibited as evidence of what ‘Sister Van Cott and God' can do for an infidel.” Druggist’s Testimony, H. ¥, McCarthy, druggist, Ottawa, Ont., states that he was afflicted with chroni bronchitis forsome ycars, and was com plet, ly cured by the use of THoyAs' OTRIC O1L. jylTeodlw HONORED AND BLEST.
