BETTER TIMES FOR STOCKMEN.
. Late dispatches assure as that Germany
resolved to withdraw the embargo on
American pork. The Germans are be
ginning to understand that "no pig" on
' their part means "no beet sugar" on
oars. We are also assured that "public
satisfaction over the admission of Amer
ican cattle increases as the quality of
imports become recognized. The Ham
burg official returns for March show that
during the month 811 American cattle
were imported. : If a lot of 296, brought
late in February, by the steamship
Amalfi be added the five weeks' total
promises a rapid expansion of trade."
All this is very encouraging to farmers
and stockmen. Everything seems to
indicate that the cattle business has
touched its lowest point in the matter of
prices. The opening of European mar
kets to unrestricted traffic in cattle
would alone tend to advance prices.
But other influences have been working
. in the same direction. The excessive
marketing for the past few years an J the
clearing out of large ranges chiefly in
' Indian Territories have greatly reduced
the producing capacity of American
herders. Statistics show that last year
foreign consumers took $30,000,000 worth
more of American beef than in 1888 and
$21,000,000 more than in 1889 while the
increase in the exports of fresh dressed
beef and canned beef has been nearly as
great as in that of cattle. The total val
ue of cattle and fresh and canned beef
exported in 1886 was $22,000,000, while
the total value of the same products for
the fiscal year 1860 was $61,000,000.
There can scarcely be a reasonable doubt
that this increase will continue, with
till larger augmentation. The new in
spection law which Secretary Busk is
carefully enforcing is gradually removing
every vestage of excuse against the re
ception of American beef by European
countries which hitherto practically ex
cluded it under pretext that it was , dis
eased. ' With the embargo removed
from our cattle and hog products, an im
mense increase in exportation will ensue
and prices are bound to keep place with
the increase in exportation.
A FAIR DEFENCE.
Section 8 of The Dalles charter bill
divided the city, for the purpose of mun
icipal representation, into three wards.
The present division, it is well known,
comprises two wards, the first embracing
all the city north of Third street and the
second all the city south of the same
street. This arrangement makes all the
business part of the city into one ward
and all or nearly all the residence part
into another. The new charter bill
proposed to run the lines of the wards
. north and south," instead of east and
; west. The first ward would have been
' all that part of the city lying west of
Co art street ; the second all that part
lying between Court and Jefferson and
. the third all that part lying east of Jeffer
son. This arrangement would have given
each ward a part of the business as well
aa a part of the residence district. On
the face of it nothing could be fairer.
. As it is the floating population, the mass
of irresponsible voters is congregated in
one ward, and that the most populous.
This one ward largely controls the city,
' the irresponsible floating vote control it.
The arrangement suggested by the new
charter would have divided this vote so
nearly as convenient among each of .the
. three wards. But the transparent fair-
- ness of this division, the very thing that
should have commended it to men who
. desire good and pure city government
was the ground upon which it was con
de named. With the ward divided in the
manner suggested by the new charter,
no ward politician, whose strength lay
mainly in the irresponsible vote could
control the city elections, or at least
'. control them so easily as at present.
For this reason only, as we suppose,
because we really can conceive of no
other, the section referred to was amend
ed by Senator Hilton and the ward
divisions of the city left as they are at
present. . If any one can show that this
section of the bill was objected to in the
interest of pure city government and the
rights of the people we shall be glad to
hear from him.
cuaiTTriijjLyiugeu outiie mayor s pre
rogatives and an amendment was offered
making these last officers appointive by
the mayor subject to the approval of the
council. . Section 10 was therefore
another provision in the interest of good
government. Five councilmen were just
as likelv to make rood selections as
one mayor. It is be said that the ap-
pointments were to be approved by the
council, we reDlv that thev were to be
made by the mayor. The councilmen
could male no appointments. A corrupt
mavor rein Id reward his pets or his
strikers by appointing them to an office
at his pleasure, and if the council refus
ed to approve the office mightremain va
cant, to the detriment and Inconvenience
of the city. No such contingencies were
likelv to arise under the provision of
section 10, and no natural right of any
man was curtailed or infringed upon by
it. An objection to it was in the inter
net of antocracv and not in the interest
of democratic government.
A WORD OF THE CROAKERS.
There is a homely old proverb about
distant hills being always green that finds
a constant illustration in the large class
of social dyspeptics who are constantly
bewailing the deadness and lack of en
terprise of their own town or neighbor
hood. "There is nothing going on ; the
town is dead ; the business is all leaving
it ; capitalist won't invest their money ;
you can't sell real estate ; nobody wants
tobnv: there's no money; interest is
hurh : taxes are bieh." Such is the re
frain. Now mark every man who talks
that wav. If he has a dollar to invest
he will invest elsewhere. What he
earns he spends yonder. That's his
style. Every dollar of surplus earnings
is hustled off as quick as he gets it.
Even furture earnings are mortgaged,
and then the town is cursed because
there's no money in it. Capitalists who
remain here, invest their money here or
loan it out here to those who need it,
are moae backs and Silurians.
To be sure one hears every day of
somebody who made a lucky investment
in some boom town, that yielded a
large return, but the thousand who in
vest and get no returns are never spoken
of. Every thing turns into gold away
yonder, everything is going to the dogs
at home. Transport these same hypo
chondriacs to their ideal Utopia and
they would say as real estate dealer in a
boom town on the sound did the other
day writing to a friend ; "What can you
say of times in Oregon? Here it is dull
and quiet, money tight, faces long, cred
it poor, interest high, people leaving
town except gamblers." And so it is
the world over. Money is nowhere to
be found for the picking up. All the
ft ee -coinage and sub-treasury schemes,
all the fretting and bewailing, all the
fault-finding and deriding on earth will
never put a dollar in a man's pocket un
less be does something to earn it, and a
man's country or city is no better and
no worse than what he as one of the
aggregate, tries to make it.
at the rate of over f 1,000 a month. But
this is not by any means the worst of it.
The city needs an extension of the water
sy stem, the building of a new city hall
and tne construction ol a sewerage sys
tem, besides money to buy up its float
ing script, all of which will require "a
large amount of bonds at an early date."
We present these facts to the readers of
the Chronicle that they may take the
comfort of reflecting thai so far as taxes
are concerned there are worse places in
Oregon than The Dalles.

Northern Pacific R. K. Circular.
Tacoma, Wash., March 16, 1891.
This certifies that on the twelfth day
of October, 1871, the Board of Directors
of the Northern Pacific Railroad com
pany passed a resolution inviting settle
ment and improvement of the agricult-
rual lands of said company, prior to
their being offered for sale, with the as
surance that such settlers or improvers,
as soon as the land should be appraised
and ready for sale, would have "the
first privilege of purchasing them upon
the regular terms of sale and at regular
price such lands in such localities, which
will be fixed without reference to the
improvements:
"Provided, such persons shall file in
the land office of said company in the
district where said lands lie, written no
tice of such settlement, and shall accept
the privilege upon tne condition that
when the prices of the lands are fixed
and notice thereof is sent to his resi
dence or post-office or otherwise, the
said person will, within ninety days from
tne date ot such notice, enter into a
regular contract with the company for
purchase of the lands, and if he fails to
do so, the company may sell the lands to
any other person.'"'
That subsequently to-wit: on the
fourth day of January, 1878, another
resolution to the same effect was passed
by the said Board of Directors ;
That actual settlement on the land was
not an essential requirement, but bona
fide improvement was a prerequisite to
securing any rights thereunder ;
That were the lands embraced in the
forfeiture provisions of the act of Sep
tember 29, 1890, to be offered for sale by
the company, persons now in possession
or owning valuble improvements there
on, would be, under our existing policy
and practice, accorded a preference right
of purchase, and would be notified and
allowed ninety days to enter into con
tract for the purchase of the same, in ac
cordance with the terms of said resolu- j
tion ;

W. C. T. V. Miscellany.
Last Friday being the day for the first
regular meeting ot tne month, pur
monthly devotional meeting was held,
which was conducted by Mrs. S. French,
The Bible reading as given by her was
highly interesting and profitable to all
present ; and led to the free enterchange
of views and ideas concerning the lesson
selected.
These meetings are open to all, and
we extend a cordial invitation to all to
attend who are interested in meetings of
this character.
On the first Friday of each month at 3
p. m. devotional meetings will be held
at the Reading Room.
On next Friday afternoon the second
meeting of the month will be held, the
monthly mothers' meeting. The sub
ject for discussion will be Circumstances

The polls opened at 7 o'clock this morn

heavy vote is being polled. At 3 o'clock
about one-third of the entire registered

At noon indications are that Chicago
will poll the heaviest vote ever cast and
will far exceed the number cast at last

There were numerous fights in the

system of delivery and collection of mail
in towns and villages where there are
offices of the third and fourth class and

system of free delivery. The test is to be
made on petition of the patrons of the
office at the discretion of the postmaster'

AN IMPORTANT CIRCULAR.
We publish in another column a cir
cular certificate signed by Paul Schnlze
general land agent of Northern Pacific
. Railroad company which is intended as
a general answer to all persons seeking
information as to the policy and practice
at the company as regards the license
' under which many have gone npon and
improved the land to which they are now
seeking to acquire title under the provi
sions of the forfeiture act. It is will
known that one of the sections of the
act gives right of purchase of 320 acres to
those who may have contracted with
'the company for the purchase of the
' lands when they should acquire posses -.
aion. II is very likely that a question
may arise as to what really constitutes a
contract in the ease. Many persons hold
filing on the land who never made any
Improvements whatever, and in many
caees these same lands so filed on have
been improved by others and were oc
cupied by them at the time of the pass
age of the act. It is quite plain that the
company did not regard a mere filing in
- the light of s contract, apart from bona
fide Improvements and that if the lands
embraced in the forfeiture provisions
were to be offered for sale by the company,
only persons in possession and valuable
improvement thereon would be accorded
right of purchase. This only the cor
rect principle, and very likely the one
the government will adopt in '11 cases
vwbere one person claims forfeited lands
under a mere filing as against the claim
of who Jhas made valuable improvements
ithereon.

it be? a he mmotaur of Crete had to
