FOR THE It needs no argument to prove the value of manufacturing industries to the growth and prosperity of the city, as everyone will admit that no city can ever become great and prosperous with out them. The local press of this city, to do it justice, has never been backward in urging the importance of establishing factories at this place but has met with little response, largely, we presume, be cause of the lack of necessary funds, and because all surplus monies could, at all times, be safely and profitably loaned out on good real estate or personal se curity. It may not, however, be useless to call attention to one industry that might be established here, that if we are correctly informed as to the cost of the plant, is surely within the means of a city of more limited resources. No one will doubt that if the shoe factory at North Dalles had been established on this side the river it would today, have been a running if not a paying institu tion. The question occurs to the writer, Why could we not have a small shoe factory in The Dalles? The capacity of the North Dalles shoe factory is said to be 600 pairs of shoes a day, but the whole manufacturing plant, we are in formed, only cost $4,288. The boiler and engine cost something like $1,800, while the machinery, complete in every detail for the manufacture of the shoe, in all its stages from the moment it is cut from the hide till it is burnished and ready for the packer, cost only $2,488 ex clusive of the freight charges. Such a plant is adapted to give employment to eighty persons, that is, when it is run at its fullest capacity, but of course five persons or any other number of employ es, each capable of doing every class of work could run the whole factory, if it were thought best to begin on a small Bcale. In such a case, as less power would be needed it might be rented, thus doing away with the cost of the boiler and engine. The amount of capital re quired to run the business would, of course, depend largely upon the amount of business intended to be done. There is no question as to the readiness with which a market can be found for the products and there seems as little doubt that the business is profitable. A shoe manufactured at North Dalles which sold readily in competition with eastern goods cost, at what was considered a full figure $1.19 and sold for $2.00. Another that cost to manufacture $1 73 sold for $3.00. Another that cost $1.51 sold for $2.77, and the smallest profit on any of the lines made was on a shoe that cost $1.35 and sold for $2.00. The prices of course include material, wages and every thing. We have them from Mr. Hall who was foreman of the works and they surely prove that there is money in shoe factory and that no great amount of money is needed to start one on small scale. mooted in this city no great difficulty was experienced in obtaining subscrip tions from quite a number of our citi zens, and these subscriptions, as we an derstand it, were simply a gift a bonus given to start the enterprise, which gave the subscribers no proprietory interest in the concern. The impulse that prompted the subscriptions was broad and generous, extending beyond the narrow confines of our own city. It was above the narrow exclusiveness 'that supposed a city or factory on the other side the river would, in any way be an injury to any interest on this side. But the enterprise has collapsed, at least temporarily, and the well meant efforts of our citizens have been frustrated. Whether the North Dalles factory shall ever come out from under the cloud that now envelopes it, time alone can tell, but u it should no one will rejoice more heartily than ourselves. Meanwhile, we are free to say that the same gener osity displayed by some of our citizens toward the temporarily defunct enter- prire would, if applied to the establish ment of a shoe factory in The Dalles, undoubtedly meet with success. If, in order to make the industry remunerative and enable it to put its articles on the market at competitive rates, it is neces sary to procure the raw material, as nearly as possible, from the producers, the Pacific coast is singularly situated in this respect and Portland has no advan tage over The Dalles in the matter of raw material for a shoe factory, except only in the matter of freight, which is more than offset by lower rents. For all the heavy leather, used in the manufae ture of boots and shoes, there is none produced in the United States equal in quality and price to that manufactured on the Pacific coast. This is so well recogni?ed by eastern shoe manufactur ers that our leather enters largely into the better class of their productions. A shoe factory at this place need never buy a pound of eastern sole leather. As regards upper leather, the question of freight is a mere bagatelle, when one is estimating the cost of the manufactured article. A pair of shoes, manufactured at this place might contain a pound of leather and the freight on that pound of leather amounting to, say half a cent (and less when the "Regulator" begins to run) is all the advadtage Portland would have over The Dalles in this re trard. The Uhboniclk has not got a shoe factory. on the brain any more than it has any other enterprise that will build up the town and give employment to the people. It will gladly support anything tending in this direction. It has merely urged the establishment of a shoe factory because it believes it to be practicable, profitable and within the the reach of our available resources. Any suggestion, from any quarter as to any enterprise that will possess these features more intensely will have our hearty support. Others may differ with us as to the value of a suggestion but no man shall go beyond us in unselfish de sire for the welfare of our city and peo ple. THK DALLES W. C. T. UNION. JUNE. And what so rare as a day In June? Then, If ever, come perfect days; The heaven tries if the earth be in tune, And over it softly her warm ear lays; Whether we look or "whether we listen, We hear life murmur or see it glisten ; Every clod feels a stir of might, An instinct within it that reaches and towers, And, groping blindly above it for light, Climbs to a soul in grass and flowers. The flush of life may well be seen Thrilling back over hills and valleys; The cowslip startles in meadows green, The buttercup catches the sun in its chalice. And there's never a leaf nor a blade too mean To be some happy creature's palace. The Vision of Sir Launfal. The Catholic Clergy and Intemperance. The Catholic clergy is taking a promi nent part in the temperance movement. It is not surprising, for no class of the community is brought more immediately in contact with the crime and misery which the saloon produces. No class, is better able to render effectual assistance to the cause than the Catholic clergy. Their voice is often heard in advocacy of total-abstinence, showing the fact that the moral and orderly sentiment of the community is rivited on the question of of restrictive liquor-selling. The truth is at work in the public mind. In New York city Father O'Hara at one of the services in his church stig' matized saloons as "manufactures of vice, crime and debauchery." He told all Catholics engaged in the liquor busi ness, to quit it and seek some other honest means of obtaining a livelihood. He told saloon keepers that he did not want their blood money, but that he did want less drinking and drunkard-making. All honor to the priest who stands for tem perance, free schools and free thought. Ottumwa, Iowa, June 24. The demo cratic state convention assembled here this morning at 10 o'clock. The coming campaign will be decisive because it is conceeded by both political parties that as Iowa goes in the next election so it will probably go in the presidential election of 1882. Walter H. Bntler, was chosen tempor ary chairman and made an eloquent ad dress in which he eulogized Governor Boies. He said the work of the demo cratic party in .Iowa will not be fully done until the prohibition farce swept from the code. The platform leads off by endorsing Governor Boies and his administration The anti-prohibition plank plattorm of 1890 is re-affirmed, and the party pledg ed to legislative enacraent of the Austra lian ballot or ballot reform system. The McKinlcy tariff law is denounced and the principle of tariff for revenue only re-endorsed.' Upon the silver question there was a long dispute, but the committee finally decided to recede from the platform of a year ago and merely favor free coinage of silver upon a just relation, making it a full legal tender for all debts public and private. VV. ti. Puzy of Uouncil Bluffs, was selected as permanent chairman. Our Government In Disgraceful Business At the request of American maltsters and brewers a circular letter, dated De cember 15, 1889, was sent out from our department of state instructing Ameri can consuls to Central and South Amer ica. Mexico and West Indies, to obtain as much information as possible con' cermng every phase of the malt and beer business. These consuls obeyed aud their replies are given to the public. "The Argen tines are not primarily beer drinkers, but the taste for it might be encouraged Mexicans will quickly acquire the habit." says our Mexican consul. Surely 1 with such a teacher as the great American government ! in the Bahamas the consul tninxs, it will take time and patience to cultivate among the people a taste for American hood of $100,000. ICfrgtsa Aru 1 TT I via kri vntiiu w uauu incentive, with the secretary of state to outline and indorse, and our consuls to serve as agents, certainly this branch of education need not languish. From the same source, presumably (and the department of state makes no denial), the consuls to above named countries in America, together with those to Egypt, South Africa, China, Japan. Australia and the South sea Is lands, make extended reports "on the use of refrigerators, natural and manu factured ice for the preservation of food and liquids. Union Signal. Should be Sentenced at Once. Philadelphia, June 23. John Bards ley, ex-city treasurer, who several days ago pleaded guilty to embezzlement of public funds, was brought to the court for sentence today, but on motion of the district attorney sentence was suspended indefinitely. The district attorney opened proceed ings by stating that he wished to call some witnesses from whom the court could get information on which to pass sentence. An expert accountant testi fied that Bardsley in bin two and a half years incumbency in office as city treas urer received $200,000 interest on public money ; that Bardsley used $500,000 in speculation and had loaned $600,000 to one banking firm and 200,000 to another. He also loaned $400,000 to the Bradford mills company of which he was owner. Bardsley also sold and converted to his own use $57,000 worth of government bonds which he held for the city-; but this money was subsequently returned. The expert found that Bardsley's stock operations had cost him in the neighbor- COLD DAT FOR BALMACIDA. In Darkest Chicago. Why don't our dry-goods merchants and gfocerymen place up a sign on their establishments like most of the whisky The British Government Helping; the Chilian Insurgents Will Return ' the Money. New Yobk, June 23. A correspond' ent at Iquique telegraphs his paper that Balmaceda is likely to have trouble with the British, over the collection from a vessel flying the British flag of duty for nitriate brought into Lochilla. The British minister has made a vigorous protest. What action Balmaceda will take cannot be learned, but probably he will return the money. The correspond ent also states that it would seem that Waterloo, Iowa, June 24. Reports have been received here by the Illinois Central officials Of a terrible wind and rain storm which prevailed last night along that company's lines from Storm lake to Demars a distance of fifty-six miles. Towns were considerably dam' aged. Four persons were drowned a Cherokee and four at Correctionville. The railway aepot at uaiumet was blown down and much damage to town property was reported. Sutherland in Obrien county, a small station on the Northwestern railway five miles from Calumet is reported wiped out ; over forty buildings were blown down. The wires are all down and it is impossible to obtain any accurate information ex cept through the reports transmitted to the railroad officials and they (the re ports, not the officials) are not always reliable. ' Great Storms in the East. Sioux City, la., June 25. Additional particulars ot the hood at Uherokee in dicate it to be the worst ever known. It it stated that hundreds of houses were washed away, rendering from 1200 to 1500 families homeless. Reports are coming from all quarters of the unprecented high wster in the stream. The injury to railroad property in loss of bridges is enormous and the destruc tion of crops along the river cannot be ascertained. The destruction of property in the Cherokee district alone is about $25,000 besides almost all of the stock pastured along the Sioux is drowned. No further loss of life is reported at Cherokee, beyond the four whose drown ing has already been noted. Probably eight persons lost their lives round aliout Com ction ville. Trouble In the Alliance Camp. Jacksonville, Fla., June 25. A Jack son, Miss., special to the I imes- Union gives some interesting gossip concerning the Union national farmers alliance mat ters. It says since the nomination of the legislative committee headed by President Hall of the Missouri alliance last February, Hall has been working vigorously against the sub-treasury scheme. Within the last month Presi dent Polk advised Hall to desist or resign from the committee. He was given un til June 25th to reply. Those who know Hall assert that he will decline to be co erced and the result will be a split in the national alliance. On no subject is the partisan press more divided than on the effect of the McKinley bill on the prices of American products. The enemies of the bill have exhausted the vocabulary in its denun ' ciation, insist that it bas raised the price of everything that the consumer has buy and increases the price of nothing that the producer has to sell. On the other hand the friends of the bill pro nounce it to be by far the best tariff bill that the country has ever seen, while both produce bewildering statistics prove the truth of their respective posi tions. In this state of affairs it is a very great satisfaction to know that an inquiry has now begun which assures the public a careful, comprehensive and reliable statement of the facts concerning the ef fect of the tariff laws upon prices. The . Senate Financial Committee has com pleted arrangements for such an investi gation and the work is now in progress under the direction and supervision of sub-committee composed of Senators Aldrich, Hiscock, and Carlisle. There is no question as to the qualifications - these gentlemen for the work assigned them. Senator Aldrich was the leading champion of the McKinly bill in the senate while Senator Carlisle was its leading opponent and is universally reo ognized as the ablest apostle of free trade in this country. Senator Hiscock is a good business man and a protection' ist and with him and Mr. Aldrich to represent protection and Mr. Carlisle to look after the interests of the free trad' era such statistics may be expected as will clearly and accurately indicate the actual effect of the tariff on the price of commodities. The inquiry will deal with the retail price of two hundred and twenty different articles, sixty-four of food, sixty-three of clothing, thirty-eev en of metals and implements, six of fuel and light, fourteen of building materials, twenty-nine of house furnishing goods and seven of drugs and chemicals, seventy-five places in all parts of the coun try have been selected at which prices are to be ascertained, so as to. make the the results obtained representative. beeiaes this, inquiries will De made as to the kinds of food and clothing most largely used by various classes in order that the classes of people benefitted or injured by the tariff laws may be de termined. Special enquiry will be made as to the prices paid by the consume! as well as the wholesale cost of the prin cipal articles of consumption. By these means exhorbitant profits of middlemen will not be charged to the tariff law and low rates of profit will not be placed to its credit. The period covered will embrace more than a year before the McKinley law went into effect and nearly a year after; from July 1st, 1889, to the close of the inquiry; this coming fall. Everything possible seems to have been done to secure a perfectly fair and impartial investigation and all the ar rangements we have detailed as well as others of "minor importance were adopt ed by the committee unanimously. The results, therefore, will be anxiously looked for as such as will undoubtedly cot no important figure In the next pres idential campaign. ' . i The Helena, Mont., Journal says that the price of beef cattle has increased thirty per cent, within thirty days, and declares that the American home market is growing faster than the beef surplus and adds that "it is a question of a few years only when the recrowned cattle king will be a Napoleon in his own right." The efficient work of Secretary Rusk is said to have increased the export trade in cattle -1000 a day over the ship ments of 1888 and 1889, and there are substantial reasons for the belief that exports on the hoof will reach 1500 per day for at least 300 days in the year. The tremendous output of live stock with the vast shipments of dressed beef will result in a scarcity that insures high prices for years to come. Cattle men who for years have played into the cap acious maw of disaster can see the light of prosperity streaming in upon their well-directed efforts. Providence has seen fit to smile kindly upon their hust ling qualities. hAo, t I i oa Af fhia mr.v fin t n tArrn inn I their customers that here is the "Ladies' the British government is doing all in its power without resort to arms, to aid the insurgent cause. He further states that the prospect looks very gloomy for What Will be Done With the Chinamen. Dbtboit, June 25. There is a clash here between the treasury department and the United States court with regard to three Chinamen who were arrested here yesterday. Custom collector Hop kins received orders from the treasury department to ship the three Chinamen to San Francisco, where they are to be taken in charge and deported to China, If the court interprets the law to mean that they are to be returned to the country from which they immediately came from and not to their native coun try it is liable to order them to be l turned to Canada. Colonel Houghton still continues to receive a great deal of unreasonable criticism from some of our exchanges because he appointed the 27th of June as the time for going into camp so that the various companies will be away from home during the Fourth. The facts are, as stated in these columns a few days ago, that the Colonel first appointed the 20th of the month bnt was informed that the necessary tentage equipments could Entrance"? Why the need of a seper- ate entrance for ladies? Is not this a tact acknowledgment, and yet openly flaunted in the face of the world, that the saloon is not a fit place for men and women to meet together? A man has no hesitation in accompanying his wife, or having her accompany him to any other business house in this city : but in the saloon she must take one entrance and the husband the other. Why is this? it is because there is not a single saloon in this city into which any decent woman ought to set foot. The pictures on the wall, the horrible language of the frequenters ot the place profane, vulgar, smutty the sights too often seen, even in the best regulated places, for whisky make men drunk and worse than bestial in the "toniest" as well as the "lowest" of saloons all these preclude the possibility of their being regarded as fit places for women. But there is something more than this behind the sign "Ladies Entrance, Watch the "ladies" who enter. Watch their actions within. See the little com partments and the easy way in which the ladies slide into these compartments with "gentlemen." See the beverages taken in by the discreet waiters-see his nod and suggestive wink toward the place as the door is shut ; listen, and von will often hear the bolt draw or the lock work. Then ah, then ! There are many saloons in this city where scenes of this kind may be witnessed all the time. Balmaceda. WATERS SUBSIDING.

The reason the Colonel gives for fixing the time on the 27th is that if he bad appointed a later date the coming har vest would have made it very inconven ient for many of the boys to be away from home. The Attorlan says : "From a strip of water in front of the city, every year, without any preparatory sowing or cul tivation Astorians annually lift $3,000,- 000 worth of the most delicious of all fish the famous Chinook salmon which is found from St. Petersburg to Cape Good Hope; amid Alpine snows or Arabian sands, and is prized by all the world alike." From a strip of water above The Dalles a few fishermen, after con' siderable expense in building wheels and leads, occasionally, under favorable cir cumstances, take a few tons of fish, whereat . these three million dollar chaps, at the mouth of the river get very mad and cry out about the awful havoc and slaughter of the fish wheels. and cigars, saloon, theatre, saloon, cigars and tobacco, dime museum, saloon, res taurant, saloon, shoe store, saloon. Each saloon will averatre three votes one for the proprietor and two for assist ants. This gives a total voting power of sixteen tnousana eight Hundred votes cast as the vote for one man for one pur pose, and that purpose the protection of the saloon. These men have no other politics than the perpetuation of their own unholy traffic, and in determining the fitness of any man in this city who wishes office, the first, and about the only question they ask is, "Is he a friend to the saloon? it be is. vote him in ! If he is not, vote him out!" , And if you add to this number an those who are in trades connected with the saloon, and therefore in a measure in sympathy with it and dependent upon it, there is such a vast voting power under the' control of the business that there is no wonder it is found almost impossible to cope with it. Unxon Signal. A very remarkable degree of affection just now being manifested by all classes of politicians towards the farmers. Platforms are built specially to take farmers aboard. Every economic or financial invention, however wild or con servative is expressly designed for the farmers' benefit. Politicians of every stripe are filled with a yearning desire to be classified as the special friends of the farmer.
