FACTORY
DALLES.
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.

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.

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.

Philadelphia, June 23. John Bards

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

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

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

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.

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,

their actions within. See the little com
