Portland contribute half a million for 26

better and shorter road, tapping the fin

Last Meeting of the Guitar Club.
The last meeting of the season of The
Dalles Mandolin and (juitar club was
held at the residence of Mrs. George
Blakely Monday eve. After a cheerful
time passed in musical exercises, re
freshments were served, and just before
breaking up,"handsoinely printed cer
tificates of membership to the club were
issued to those present.' The club has
made wonderful progress in its musical
studies since its organization, the chief
credit for which can be given to Mr. C.
W. Mason, wbo.has had charge of its
musical instruction. The organization
is a credit to this citv and has added
much to the social enjoyment of .The
Dalles during the winter and spring just
passed. . Those present last evening were
Mrs. Blakely, Miss Rowland, Miss An-
nette Michell and Messrs. C. E. Wilson,
S. Booth, C. W. 'Mason and N. C.

A Fair . Proposition. -
The Paul Mohr company say they can
complete and equip a portage road on
the Washington side in eight months,
from the time. Portland will subscribe for
half a million of their bonds. The Dalles
Dufur & Silkstone company will bind
themselves to complete and equip their
road a better and shorteieohe, more
easily built, and more cheaply run when
it is built in four months from the time
that a giidrter bt a million of bonds are
subscribed for. .This is a fair, proposi
tion a road built for half the 'cost, and
in half the time and when built, in every
way more convenient to the majority of
those who .will use it, and a road, be
cause of the absence of sand, that can be
worked at nearly half the cost of the
other.

Editor Chboniclk : Allow me through
tbe column of the Chboniclk to answer
a portion of Mr. Chatty's letter of July
the 15th inst., in regard to my training
a horse. I will admit that I never asked
him whether I could train my- horse or
not, I did not think it was any of his
business. As for my crop suffering at
that date be was correct. It was suf
fering for the-want of rain if that was
what he had reference to, nut If he Lad
reference to my crop suffering from my
neglect, he is simplv a wilful prevarica
tor. I think Mr. Chatty was a Btranger
traveling through this country, as there
is nobody living here by that name.
A. J. Swift. .
plete failure than the one two years ago
had it not been for the extraordinary
June rains. Another unmistakable
proof that there is less rain fall now
than formerly is the fact that so great
an amount of the forests are dying on
the eastern slope of the Cascades. Two
years ago Fifteen Mile creek ceased to
flow below Dufur, something previously
unknown to the oldest settlers. Now
the question arises, can the scientists
explain why this change, that there is
less rainfall? I think few of the observ
ing will deny, and for this fact I will not
pretend to offer an explanation but for
the fact that so many of the springs are
failing I think there is a sufficient and
plain reason. This country is ail under
laid with bedrock, in some places very
near the surface and again at great
depths. The springs are all fed'by sur
face water and, being above bedrock, the
springs which would be effected first, of
course, would be the ones where the
bedrock comes nearest the surface and
the facts bear out this theory. Now as
to cause. When this country was cov
ered with bunch grass from two to three
feet high the ground was rough and very
loose, like a sponge it absorbed and held
all the water which fell. Also the old
grass which covered the ground with a
mulch from one to two inches in depth
was a protection against frost, so that.
no matter now last toe snow melted or
the rain fell, it all went into the ground.
iNow note tne cnange and yoa will see
ample cause for the effect or ric vena at
the present time the ground is tramped
solid, smooth and bare by the countless
thousands of horses and cattle that the
once luxuriant bunch grass produced'
so that even a hard June rain will send
the water coursing down the gulches,
instead of being held to gradually soak
in and feed the springs.
You may call these the viewr of a
croaker; -would that they were no more
than this but facts are stubborn things
aml'have to be looked squarely in the
face and from them, if possible, we
should learn some practical lessons.
The soil we have is of the best quality,
and the water which falls from heaven
is our wealth. Have you not noticed
this wealth, flowing off of an unplowed
field, while the fallow ground adjoining
was absorbing every drop to return it to
you in plump cerals of golden grain at
harvest time. R. G
ilmt varies in color from a dark brown to
nearly black. It ia very prolific as tbe
following will show. Mjr. Newcome,
two yearn ago, bought a pouud of the
krain at s cost of 75 cents. He sowed
the pound in bis garden and realized
nearly seventy pounds of barley. A
good deal pf this, howevw, was wasted
" ia various ways, and this spring he
MMMd what was left, 48 pounds. From
these 48 poundahe is persuaded he will
reap at least 140 to 150 boehels.

A' Remarkable Case.
The case of Wesley Howard, who was
bitten by ' a rattle snake, out on ; Tygh
Ridge last week and cured by Dr. Van
derpool by hypodermic injections 'of
diluted carbolic acid, although reported
in the Chronicle the day after its occur
rence, deserves some further notice.
Today a Chboniclk representative met
Dr. Vanderpool in this city and from
him learned tbe mode of treatment that
produced such marvelous results. . The
bite was on the back of the hand. It
was nearly seven hours after its occur
rence before the doctor arrived, by that
time the boy was crazy and frothing at
the mouth and sometimes so violent
were his spasms that it took three and
four strong men to hold him in bed. Be
tween the spasms his pulse died away
and prostration set in as though the
heart beats were about to stop forever.
Tbe doctor injected in his arm, a few
inches above the wound, twenty drops of
a solution of carbolic acid and water con
taining ninety-six drops of water to four
of the acid. An hour and a half after,
he repeated the treatment and an hour
and a half still further on he adminis
tered the last injection. The last, how
ever, was ninety-five parts water to 'five
of acid. After the first treatment .-the
arm turned red, and continued to get
redder till the boy fell asleep. The acid
had a decidedly sedative effect, and the
spasmodic action continued to get weaker
and weaker, till three hours after . the
first injection the boy asked for some
thing to eat as he sank into a quiet sleep
that lasted till 12 o'clock, when lie sat
up in bed and ate heartily of chicken
and chicken broth. Again he fell asleep
and slept till three when he called for
food. At the usual hour of the
morning he sat at Ihe break
fast table and ate breakfast
as if nothing had happened. -We may
mention that the doctor tried whiskey
but could not get the boy to retain it on
his stomach. Next day the boy's arm
presented a normal appearance, and
what was Remarkable to tbe doctor, not
a sign of pus was to be seen about tbe
needle puncture, only a small red speck.

WHEAT.
Locally, that is to say, our Northern
coast markets on and for wheat, is in
state of indifference from some cause
which is not known outside. There is
disposition however, to make light offer
ings on future at the very lowest possible
prices f. o. b., and we hear of 10,000
bushels being contracted for at 60 cents
This, in the face of California markets
on season, and eastern is extremelv low
and fortunate for the buyer. Report
still come in from all parts of Europe of
much interest.
Instead of a shortage in France of 104,
000,000 bushels, as reported, their board
of agriculture has issued a bulletin to the
effect that it will regain 165,000,000
bushels of wheat to make up their defi
ciency for 1891. The latest from England
is that heavy storms . have prevailed
throughout the island, which have dam
aged tbe crops quite alarmingly, and
this, together with the condition of sup
ply, has greatly stimulated their markets.
In New York, Chicago and San Francisco
advances have taken place, and their
markets are firm with an upward ten
dency.
Advices have been sent out from New
York and St. Paul to the farming dis
tricts by prominent persons, to hold on
to their wheat four to eight weeks, pre
dicting better prices and the complete
routing of the great wheat trusts in the
two wheat centers of America. What
the result of this advice will produce is
not easily determined. At all events,
our farmers will be better rewarded for
their labor in tbe near future than has
been the case in the past several years,

The weather has been cloudless and no
rain is reported to have fallen.
CBOf s.
The warm wealher has brought spring
wheat rapidly forward ; fall wheat is be
ing cut, headers are at work in the Col
umbia river valley; in Union county
and south of the Bine mountains the
spring was more backward and harvest
will begin about the 10th of August.
All reports indicate wheat to be better
than was expected. By all odds tbe
grain crop will be the largest ever pro
duced. Reports from the wheat dis
tricts of the world, other than the
United States, indicate a general de
ficiency. This means a demand for
American wheat and good prices. Al
ready there are signs of increased prices
and it bids fair to be as- high or higher
than previous prices.
Oregon is to be congratulated, on its
immense yield and prospective good
prices, resulting in prosperous times for

Senator Sherman, who declares he.
would do anything in his power to ad
vance the market value of silver to its
legal ratio to gold, believes this can only
be done in concert with other commer
cial nations ; the attempt to do it by the
increase of money to an amount, greater
than the increase of business and popu
lation ; but even if more money is re
quired, there are many ways of provid-
lngTt without cheapening the purchas
ing power of our money or making a
wide difference between tbe kinds of
money in circulation, based on silver
and gold. More than 92 per cent, of all
payments are now made in checks, drafts
and other commercial devices. All kinds
of circulating notes are now equal to
each other, and are kept at the gold
standard by redemption and exchange.
Our money and our credit are now equal
to or better than those of tbe most civi
lized nations of the world. Our produc
tions of every kind are increasing, and
it seems to me almost a wild lunacv for
us to disturb this happy condition by
missioners busy witn tne interviews on
the subject. The visit of the commis
sioners has greatly increased French in

The proposition to Portland to open
the Columbia river, an outline of which
was publshed in yesterday's issue,' is of
surpassing importance to Astoria, and
as a business proposition is wortbv- of
endorsement and practical aid. It is in
order for Astoria to subscribe to the
stock and do all in its power to further
the scheme. In this, as in all other
large projects, co-operation is essential
on the part of every community 4ikely
to Denentted directly or indirectly.

. Only eleven more days and the lordly
salmon may, unmolested, plough the
waters of the Columbia from the British
possessions to Astoria, without fear of
the horrid gill net or the deadly wheel.
Even now tbe fishing season is practi
cally ended up this way. Nearly all the
wheels have stopped and the nets are
catching next to nothing.
