Today for the first time in her history, "lie Dulles haa connection with Portland, for freight and passenger traffic by a portage railway and an independent line of steamers. While a few visionaries in Portland and elsewhere bave been figur ing on giant schemes for opening the Columbia river that involve an expendi ture of from two to five million dollars the little town at the head of navigation on the middle river has gone quietly to -work and practically solved the question of an open river for hereelf. It is only another illustration of the adage, Heaven helps those who help themselves. Henceforth let no man dare to say there is no enterprise in The Dalles. The very men who have been denounced a hund red times, by a disgruntled local sheet, as most-backs and Silurians, are the very men to whom we owe the fact that we have an open river and the highest honor that can be given them is the attestation that they have put $50,000 in an enter prise from which they never expect to receive a dollar of direct benefit. The initiative in this movement, as the Telegram of last Monday says was taken by The Dalles merchants when they, through Senator George Watkins, introduced a bill to provide for a portage way at the Cascades. The bill made an appropriation of $60,000 to be used in constructing and maintaining a portage rond from the upper to the lower land ing. At the previous session of the leg islature a similar bill was introduced and promptly killed; but two years had made u wondrous change in the senti ment of members and the well known favor with which Governor Pennoyer regarded it had much to do in influenc ing members of his own party in sup porting it. The result was an agreeable surprise to the friends and advocates of the measure, as the bill passed both houses, by a handsome majority. The navigation company was soon organized ; with a capital stock of f 50,000. Port land was asked to subscribe $10,000, but she contented herself with the paltry sum of $2,400. All the rest has been raised at home. As the Telegram truth fully remarks, "The manner in which Portland dealt with this company forms chapter in her history which will in time be read with shame. The gentle men at the head of the company were told by Portland merchants that this city (Portland) would attend to the river between Portland and the Cascades. That The Dalles should put on a boat from there to the Cascades, and Portland would attend to the rest .With this as surance they went ahead and let con tracts for the steamer Regulator, to cost $30,000. Portland was to put at least as much into a boat at this end. Time was was flying and The Dalles people wanted to know what this city was going to do. About this time the $5,000,000 scheme was on hand. They, were staved off. Portland would open up the entire river. 'The scheme came to naught and is a dead issue today." , The Dalles then raised $40,000 and 'wanted Portland to raise $10,000 more. A committee was appointed by the chamber . of commerce to make up this amount. Mr. .A. S. McAIister, who was pushing the matter on the part of The Balles, undertook, while in town, to raise some of the money. In a few days be had $2,400r The chamber of commerce committee did not raise a cent. This $2,400 is all Portland has in The Dalles, Portland A Astoria Navigation company.5' These facts are not new to the Chronicle, though we have hot, hitherto, supposed that any benefit would arise from parad ing them before the public. The $2,400 was headed by W. S, Ladd who, gener ously, as The Dalles directors , then thought and still think, put down his name for $500. Nineteen persons sub- scribing $100 each, made up the remain- der. -These are, the cold facts and our readers may draw what conclusions they please. But in view of what has been accomplished, at a time- when there was a remarkable stringency in the money market, we can only say that the coun try $ributary to The Dalle owes a debt of gratitude to the stock-holders of The Dalliia, Portland and Astoria Navigation company that can only be repaid by n . hearty support of the new line of trans portation. . '77, BRIEF STATE JfKWS.. Monmouth needs a fruit cannery next year. Hillbore wants telephone connection with Portland. An organized band of cattle thieves are getting in their work on the honest cattle men of Union county. Efforts have been made to locate the guilty par ties, but with no success. Owners of farms throughout Grant county are preparing to sow more ground to alfalfa next year, and it will be but a short time when this will be the prin cipal hay crop of the country. The city council of Milton have again passed an ordinance providing for a special election for the purpose ' of sub mitting the question of bonding the city in the sum of $10,000, to the voters of that city. Sunday morning while one of "the nobler sex was engaged in the national game of poker at Forest Grove, his wife appeared on the scene just as he made a Ivet, she called him, and he thought it policy to see her home. Huntington is fast becoming one of the prominent stock-shipping points in Eastern Oregon. Recently 1100 head of sheep were shipped to Chicago, and 300 head of beef cattle were shipped to Port land and the Sound markets. Mr. J. H. Gray, of Combs Flat, Crook county, finished threshing last week and reports flattering results -from his har vest. ' His barley yielded 6eventy-one bushels per acre, wheat forty-five bush els per acre and oats forty-two bushels per acre, for his entire crop. J. D. Carlos, of Lakeyiew, lost a good mare by trying to lead her behind a wagon Monday. The mare pulled back and he gave bis wife the lines of a four horse team to hold, - while he went around to whip up the mare. The team turned around, upset the wagon, and broke the mare's neck. The Pnneville Irrigation Company have let the contract for excavating a portion of their irrigating ditch. Work will be commenced at once and pushed with diligence until completed. The company expect to furnish water to the residents along Crooked river for irrigat ing purposes by June 1, 1892. Canyon City has a Salvation army as well as a baseball team, and thus the city is putting on metropolitan ' airs. The Salvation army is composed of home talent, but the veterans make as much racket as ah imported regiment would. The city marshal fain wonld have thrown them into a dungeon Mon day night, but Recorder Rulison refused to issue a warrant. Htnilra. What is a monopoly?

Democratic Times. ' About- the boldest theft on record is that of a Kansas man who employed a team threshing outfit, men and wagons, and removed a crop of wheat from a farm, sold it . and walked off with the money about $1000 in his pocket without anybody suspecting that he was not the rightfnl owner of the wheat, and not satisfied with stealing the wheat he left without paying the men who had helped him handle it.

There is ever danger present when a woman listens with patience to a man's talk .. 7 about 'himself. " Woman flatters man on 'the 'qualities by which she enslaves him. A- woman never tells a man that his will is of iron, save when she is bending it to her own uses. Some are attracted by the simplicity of a char acter; out to many the difficulty of un derstanding a character constitutes its greatest, perhaps its only, charm, so that whea oner they have probed it they throw it aside as of no more inter est.

"I have always held," said a cheerful man, "that a happy disposition and am ple wealth would enable , one to bear up pretty weu under the ordinary misfor tunes of life. Riding up town the other day on the elevated railroad I sat next to a fine looking couple, evidently hus band and wife, and evidently possessed of abundant means. As they chatted along pleasantly together he mentioned incidentally the fact that . he had that morning lost $4,000 on stocks. She said, 'Did you?" and then they didn't bother about that any more, but branched off on something else." New York Sun,' A Two Edgad Argument.
