It is by no means the least part tf..the
Chronicle to help, with all its might, to
build up and advance the material in
terests of that great section of the Inland
Empire from which it more immediate
ly draws itssustinance and support. We
say "great" not so much in the sense of
geographical extent, although that is by
no means insignificant, as great in all
elements that contaibute to the material
advancement of a happy and piosperous .
people. Only a few years since the vast
rolling prairies, bounded bv the John
Day river on the east, the Columbia on
the north, the timber line of the Cascade
mountains on the west, and the present
southern boundary line of Wasco county
on the south, were one extended cattle
range, and creek bottoms alone thought
fit for agricultural purposes. Little by
little at the first bunch of grass land was
turned over by the plow, more as an
experiment than anything else, until in
a short time it became evident that the
soil was rich in all the elements of plant
food, and as far as grain raising was con
cerned, excelled in productiveness the
supposed richer lands on the river bot
toms. Today in all the northwest por
tion of this extensive region the stock
man has given place to the husbandman,
and the landscape is everywhere dotted
with comfortable, if not
COSTLY FARM HOPS KB.
The immense quantities of grain handled
yearly by local flouring mills, or shipped
for exportation to the Columbia river,
abundantly testify to the apparently in
exhaustible fertility of the soil, and fully
account for the relatively prosperous
condition of this young agricultural
community.
In the center of what still remains of
this territory within the confines of
Wasco county, stands the little town of
Dufur. The town site was originally
owned by Dufur Brothers, but whether
the town took its name from the hon
ored father or his not less honored sons,
is a matter of little moment to the
Chronicle or its readers. The town has
all the advantages of a splendid location.
It is about fifteen miles south of Dalles
City, and on the main road leading to
Tygh Valley and Warm Spring reserva
tion. A pure mountain stream, known
as Fifteen Mile, that rises far up among
the hill tops, flows through the town,
and supplies every household with an
abundance of pure and wholesome water.
On the north and south the hills rise
with gentle acclivity, effectually shelter
ing the little town from the fiercer blasts
of a northern winter ; on the east the
valley of Fifteen Mile slopes away; to
wards the Columbia, while it stretches
on the west in a landscape of matchless
beauty, till it is lost in the foothills of
the Cascades. Apparently at the head
of the valley, and rising far up among
the clouds, as a solitary" white-robed
sentinel, and as . if to guard the peace
and tranquility of the village, stands
Mount Hood. In such a center of
natural advantages, and in such a loca
tion of scenic beauty, stands the town of
Dufm. ' Whatever nature might have
intended, it was far from the thoughts of
the original owners to locate a town
there. It was never boomed into exist
ence, but rather like Topsey it "growed'
of its own accord.
line of railroad running south from The
Dalles must, of necessity, touch it, and
with railroad facilities, combined with
all its present natural advantages, no
more desirable place, for business
residence can be found anywhere.

of the death .of little Ada Vanderpool,

years. As report has reached us the

entertained of her complete recovery,
but she took a relapse to which she suc-

blow is an unusually hard one. The

THE business of dufub.
The town has two, large general mer
chandise stores, where the farmers can
obtain everything to be found in the
larger towns, two drug stores, one sad
dler's shop, one shoemaker's shop, two
blacksmith's shops, one carpenters shop,
two wagon repair shops, one barber's
shop, one notion store, one millinery
store, two resident physicians, two resi
dent ministers, one dentist, one fine
graded school, two church, houses, one
public hall, one Odd Fellow's hall, two
excellent hotels and two livery stables.
The town is also the location of the S. B
manufacturing company, whose proprie
tory medicines are winning an enviable
and well deserved reputation all over
the Pacific-coast. Half a mile below the
town is located the famous Dufur Roll

hands, to be fully equal to the best

anywhere. But the town has no saloon
within its borders, and they don't want
any. lhe l-hifur Brothers, who owned
the original town site and who still own

gave the bill to Mrs. Lou Sampson,
(Senator Hilton's clerk,) for enrollment,
and it was not returned to me till the
morning session of February 21st, and
was then reported back from the com
mittee on enrolled bills, along with
Senate Bills Nos. 21, 94, 172 and 161, in
time to receive the signatures of the
speaker of the house and president of
the senate, just before the final adjourn
ment,
that Mr. Gourlay, as clerk of Senator
Watkin's committee "should know
better than almost anyone whether this
bill was enrolled and sent to the gover
nor." In this he is mistaken too ; it was
no part of Mr. Gourlay's duties to know
anything of the kind. He simply per
formed the clerical work given him,
with neatness and dispatch, and never
saw Senate Bill No. 20, nor did he know
who enrolled it. But it seems that Mr,
Gourlay was not the only objective point
of attack of this contemptable viliiier,
who is too cowardly to sign his name to
the scurrilous article referred to, but
from the shelter of his mask with
sweetened venom sleeping got," char
ges the writer with having deserted his
post as chief clerk of the Senate Enroll
ing committee, and gone to Pendleton or
elsewhere armed, with warrants of
arrest for malcontents, for which he
added fees and milage to his salary as
clerk. All of which is false, and with
out foundation in fact. The records of
the U. S. Commissioners' court at The
Dalles and marshal's office at Portland
will show- that I have performed no
duties, and received no fees or emolu
ments as a Deputy U. S. Marshal, since
January 17th, 1891 up to the first of the
present month, and my two days ab
sence, while the legislature was in ses
sion, was in obedience to a subpoena to
appear as a witness in the TJ. S. circuit
court in the case of U. 8. vs Stone &
Hvde, February 2nd and 3rd, during
winch time there were - no senate, buls
in the hands of the committee for en
rollment, as the receipts of O. P. Miller
chief clerK of the senate will verify.

DOUBTFUL LEGISLATION.
We have serious doubts, as to the
wisdom of the act passed bv the last
Oregon legislature, giving the power to
any justice of the peace in the absence
of the county judge, to commit a person
suspected of insanity to the state insane
asylum.' The law is liable to grave
abuse. It is undoubtedly already too
easy to send persons to the insane asy
lum, and this law has the tendency to
make it easier still. . The average Oregon
justice, is by no means a foundation of
judicial wisdom. He is not necessarily
primus inter pares hief among equals.
Quito frequently, especially in the
sparsely settled districts, where better
men would not be bothered with the
office, the justiceship is placed in the
hands of men remarkable for nothing
but senility and ignorance. In a matter
of such importance the closest circum
spection and soundest judgment are
necessary. Hundreds have been con
fined in lunatic asylums, for various rea
sons, who should never have been there,
and it is neither good policy nor sound
legislation to make the way to get there
easier than it is already. .
