A PRACTICAL PLAN.
" The author of an article signed "Ob
server," that appeared in the Oregonian
of late date has requested ns to publish
in the Cbboniclk bo much of it as will
- make clear what he calls "A practical
plan to secure The Dalles portage rail
way and its successful working." In a
private communication he informs us
that the main track of the proposed
road is via Five and Ten Mile creeks to
the - Deschutes, touching the Columbia
river at Biggs, which would be the port
age section; thence southeasterly via
Wasco to the John Day river, thence np
Rock creek to its head with feeders
touching Dufur and the timber section
of the Cascades and on to Prineville and
from Rock creek to the Fossil coal mines.
There can scarcely be the shadow of
question that such a system is not only
feasible but it would give large returns
to its projectors from the moment it was
put in operation.
To have any benefit of the Navigation
of the Upper Columbia river for years to
come, portage railroads at the Cascades
and The Dalles are indispensable. The
former is soon to be built by the state,
while the latter is left for private enter
Drises or for the people themselves.
Assuming that it is practicable to build
The Dalles portage road on the Oregon
siae ana l am quite sure n is i wouiu
suzeest that private enterprise should
take hold of this project and be given
such aid as may be reasonably asked,
which would enable them to build and
equip this portage road and to operate it
successfully. I would suggest that the
said porta ee road be made a part of a
main trunk line of a narrow gauge syS'
tern of roads which must be built into
the interior in southeastern Oregon, in
order to brinsr the products to the river,
To my mind the narrow gauge system of
roads would be all that would be. re
quired to connect with the boats on the
Columbia to insure a cargo traffic. A
corporation so formed could then say to
rortiana ana to ne uaiies, ana to an
other points interested in having an
open river: "We will build, equip and
operate not onlv a portage road around
Tne Dalles, but we will go further. We
will give you a system of roads that will
develop and settle up your southeastern
Oregon, now held back for want of facili
ties of transportation a country rich in
agricultural, grazing, timber and min
eral resources, and a country whose trade
will be almost entirely lost to Portland
I if something is not done to check the
great inducement now offering for other
roads to penetrate that country and
carry its trade to the eastward, to the
north or to the south We propose a
narrow guage system because we can
build, equip and operate such roads
much cheaper and give you the benefit,
not only of cheaper operating facilities,
but we will save to you a large sum in
interest, which- the producer and con
sumer has to pay on the bonded indebt
edness of these roads. The saving in
the first cost and the difference in oper
ating expenses is what you want and
must have to cheapen the lates of trans
portation. This system of roads would
be in no danger of falling into combina
tions or being sold out, as the wide guage
ones would not want the narrow guage
lines. You would be further benefitted
by having some of your means of trans
Donation held and controlled by your
- own people, and the producers ana con
sumers would no longer have to pay
tribute to support tne stock dealers or
stock gamblers in the city of New York,
who now. control every line of transpor
tation throughout yonr state. We want
- you to give us nothing further than to
take liberally of our bonds, for which we
will pay you interest annually and we
' will enter into an agreement with you
-to carry over that portion of our road
: between The Dalles, Celilo or Deschutes,
all the passengers, freight, etc., that
may be brought to us by boat, either
from above or below, at such rates as
will be cheaper than the state or the
public could themselves do contracts to
be made for a term of years, with a
cjacse inserted that the corporation
would forfeit that portion of their road

The members of the Oregon Pioneer
and Historical society, deeming the dis
covery of the Columbia river by Capt.
Robert Gray, of the American ship Col
umbia, on the 7th day of May, 1792, an
event of national importance and worthy
of centennial celebration, has appointed
a special committee to issue a circular to
all pioneer and kindred societies existing
within the borders of the territory ac
quired by the United States as the result
of this discovery, and now comprising
the important states of Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho, inviting and urging
the said societies and organizations to
appoint and send delegates to Astoria
May 12th next, for the purpose of aiding
in the formulating and adoption of a plan
and programme for the centennial cele
bration of this important event in the
national history of our country, on the
7th day of May, 1892.

CO-OPERATION.
Co-operation is one of the pricipal pur
poses of the alliance.
If every alliance would co-operate in
securing a reduction of the indebtedness
of its membership to make the present
crop, it would prove a . boon this fall
when the debts will have to be paid with
fifty cent wheat.
Every farmer should conduct his oper
ations for profit. It is not what is pro
duced, but the profit that the production
will yield that renders farming successful.
One of the greatest factors in this
problem is to secure the production at as
little cost as possible, and have it cum
bered as little as possible with debt when
it shall be harvested.
It behooves American writers who
have English readers to use irony very
sparinelv. The English take things so
literally that it sometimes seems hazard-
to risk the grossest sarcasm with them.
The Christian Register has an amusing
experience lately which emphasizes this
warning :
'In speculating on the interpretation
of the Old Testament story of the fall of
Jericho, we suggested that perhaps tne
easiest way for those who were troubled
with its miraculous features was to treat
it simply as a piece of Hebrew irony, as
the work of some musical critic of the
time. We said : 'The ram's horn is a
musical instrument which, even in the
hands of the most perfect artist, might
be warranted to kill at titty paces, but,
in the hands of an indifferent player, is
capable of working almost any destruc-
we can imagine, tnereiore, some
Temperance Work Among Foreigners.
The countries from which many immi
grants come are far behind the United
States in temperance sentiment. The
majority of those who come here have
been brought up to believe that the
drinking of beer especially is healthful.
This habit and belief makes it hard, to
convince them that total abstinence is
best. Politicians ponder and toady to
their supposed wishes for the sake of
their votes. They are a law-abiding
people, or were until spoiled by our poli
ticians, until today the foreign vote
threatens our free institutions.
Total abstinence is gaining ground in
the European countries from which
most of them come. They never fall
from grace. Once converted they are
converted to stay. When foreigners
are converted to total abstinence they
show more temperance backbone than
the average American does. Look at
Scandinavian and German prohibi
tionists. They want no half-way meas
ures and they never fall from grace.
Ulyssis S. Grant, the great soldier of
the late civil war, noted for his energy
and push was born on the 27th day of
April. Temperance people have adopted
his famous dispatch: "I propose to
fight it. out on this line if it takes all
summer.' Yea, and many summers.

Hunt system had he been successful, for
which the people of Portland agreed to

system of roads can be made very profit
able, both to the owners ana the state
generally, and any one taking its bonds

seeing his own immediate neighborhood
benefitted therefrom instead of building
up and supporting the railroad stock

The assistance given any company,

continuation of the road as indicated,
'..until you have secured hundreds of miles
of feeders to the Columbia river, and the
competition of the boats already on the

. will obviate the necessity of any funds
being . raised for that purpose. First,
build your portage roads. Owners of
; boats will be bidders to ply the waters
and carry the products of the Columbia

structions are overcome and the products

The war department has ordered a
count of inquiry to be held at Walla
- Walla at once to investigate and get the
- facts m relation to the horrible butchery
of Hunt, the gambler, by the U. S. Sol
diers last Friday night. The affair has a
colorable hue of lack of disci plin 'on the

. examination will result in the rigid ex

Teaching the science of government is
one great object ot the tanners alliance.
Too much ignorance has prevailed, and
the world of demagogues has been taken
too long for the welfare of the people.
False systems and false politics have so
enveloped the farmers and laborers that
lite is a perpetual hell before them
lhey are aroused at last to the misery
- and injustice of their condition, and
they are struggling manfully to escape
from it. They will neither stop nor
slacken their work until success crowns
their labor, and justice shall once more
be enthroned in the government. Speed

The AUi&nce (Talahassee, Fla.): The
object of the Alliance is to elevate and
improve the farmer morally, socially and
financially. YY hat farmer should ob
struct or impede it? Where is the
farmer who does not desire the full and
complete consummation of there lauda
ble purposes? Is it reasonable and
natural that the farmer should join in
with onr enemies and seek to keep him
self and his fellows bound down in chains
of industrial servitude, and to remain
the hewers of wood and the drawers of
water for eternity ! Such is not the
prompting of reason.
Occasionally is heard in Oregon in
and out of the newspapers a remark
about "hard times." We, here, in this
state have no personal knowledge of
hard times ;" it is impossible for "bard
times" to exist here. But there are por
tions of our country not so favored
this sunset slope. A woman writing
from Nebraska, in a plaintive appeal for
help, says : "We lost all our pigs and
chickens ; they starved to death." "It
has been months since we had two cents
in the house." . "We live on mush and
milk mostly ; all we have to eat with our
bread is a little gravy made of lard,
thickened with flour." I did not have
yeast or saleratus to make bread." " They
had no seed wheat, and the horses were
so very poor that they could do very
little plowing, etc. These poor people
on the arid plains of Nebraska know
what "hard times" are. It is their mis
fortune to live where hard work cannot
make times the reverse of "hard".
Politics must be kept out of many
thing in future where it has figured ex
tensively. Boston sets the example for
instance in its street department. The
mayor says : "I am one of those citizens
of Boston who do not care for the politics
of the street cleaner. I don't want re
publican streets, nor democratic streets.
But with my whole soul, I do sometimes
long for clean streets, permanently clean
streets and pure air would be steps
towards the lessening of both crime and
illness. Make it so we can breathe in
town and we shall not need the parks so
badly. We cannot live all the time in
the parks, and we need to breathe every
day. Let the parks and suburbs then
grow slowly. But let us make Boston
what people who are old enough say it
used to be; a clean, sweet, wholesome
city, of which we can all be proud."
iVhv 1 heard

more in paint, fences, cowshed, and so
on.
"Well it is true. That is just the fig
ure.'
"I cannot see how you did it. We

us been sick, your family is one larger

and I always take credit for that I am

Proctor has taken no action in the matter

The Chinese Emperor Protests A gainst
Receiving; Blair as U. S. Minister.
Washington, April 29. A represen
tative of the associated press this morn
ing called at the Chinese legation here
and had an interview with Minister Yen
in regard to the declinations of his gov
ernment to receive Senator Blair as the
accorded representative of the United
States. Yen said through an interper
ter that he received a cablegram from the
Chinese foreign office which he was in
structed to lay before Mr. Blaine with
out delay, expressing the unwillingness
of the emperor to receive Blair. Other
than this, Yen has received no instruc
tions written or otherwise from his gov
ernment on the subject.
The exact language of the cable, on
whether the reasons for this action given
lie failed to state. Personally he had a
very high opinion of Senator Blair.
This action of the Chinese authorities
has not created the least excitement here
as it has been anticipated by many from
the first. The proceeding is not a very
unusual one and cannot be construed as
indicating unfriendly feeling toward
this government.
The opinion in official circles in general
is that the United States is by its own
conduct stopped from resenting Minister
Blair's rejection and that after waiting for
a length of time, sufficient to maintain
national dignity, a new minister will be
appointed by President Harrison.

Very few people know that
Goose" was not an imaginary person but
was born in Boston of a wealthy family,
toward the close of the seventeenth cen
tury. Her eldest daughter, Caroline,
was married by the celebrated Cotton
Mather June 8, 1715, to a printer named
Thorn as Fleet. When their children
were born Mrs. Goose spent her time
pouring forth songs and ditties to them,
to the annoyance of the whole neighbor
hood. Fleet was fond of quiet and was
a sarcastic man, and he collected these
songs and published them in derision of
his mother-in-law. The book was brought
out in 1719 from Fleet's printing-house
in Pudding land, now Devonshire street,
Boston, at the price of 2 cents. It prov
ed a success beyond Fleet's expectations.
The Century and Harpers now run

Each page pays them $3,000 a year

advertsements of daily newspapers, are
the most interesting part of the periodi

in favor of the portage railroad around
The Dalles being built on the Oregon
side oi tne river, uertainiv it a nracti-
cable route can be found there it would
be better, as the local traffic to be serv
ed would be much larger, and if Port'
land is to invest the bulk of the capital

home as possible. Portland Welcome.
