IMPORTANT.
No better opportunity has ever been
offered to the citizens of The Dalles
than that now presented by our state
board of immigration. The two exhibit
cars are now being fitted np at Portland
to rtart east September 1.
These cars will be painted white, and
pictures of Mt. Hood, Columbia river
falls, and other attractive objects on the
sides. The cars will run to state and
district fairs and prominent cities, giv
ing opportunity for hundreds of thous
ands of all classes of people to see the
possibilities of Oregon. The exhibit
will leave for the east September first
there is therefore but little time left to
improve the offer made to this section
. to show its attractions for capitalists or
those seeking homes.
. Major G. W. Ingalls has been ap
pointed agent for the immigration board
to n re na re and forward specimens of
fruits, grains, minerals, woods, etc.
from The Dalles. Hood River, and in
fact for Eastern Oregon. He has
room next to the' Grange etoro kindly
donated by Me. Vogt, and as he is giv
ing hit time with out any pecuniary con
sideration and the express company will
forward free all exhibits, a small ex
pense for boxes, stationery and convey
a nee to get out to different orchards in
this county ought to be provided for. Is
not this a proper thing to be considered
by our board of trade?
If our section is not represented in the
"Oregon on Wheels" medium of adver
tisincr ' can anv blame attach to the
Oregon state board of immigra
tion. In this connection Major Ingalla
states that there are three persons
who will go east with this "Oregon on
Wheels" exhibit to answer questions
and give information concerning Oregon
and its resources. Two of these persona
have been chosen from Western Oregon
and the board of trade of. The Dalles are
invited to recommend to the state board
nf imicrration some euitable person for
Eastern Oregon."
so? A law that would crush the combi
nation would crush, at the same .time,
the liberty of the citizen. A higher
moral and religious educatiou seems
alone fit to cope with the difficulty, and
even that is frequently powerless against
human greed.

PROSPECTS OF RECIPROCITY,
The expense of the last encampment
of the Oregon National guards is the
subject of some very senseless and nn-
reasonable criticism. The whole cost
was in the neighborhood of $32,000 and
if would be difficult to toil how it could
have been less, but this sum Is char
acterized as extravagant by men who
are never happy unless they are finding
fault with something. California's en
campment cost $30 a man ; Oregon's less
than $21. These $21 included tents and
other camp equipments, cooking uten
sils, provisions, pay of men, cost of
transportation, etc., and the wonder is
how they got along with so little. hen
newspapers speak of expense they should
remember that the National Guard was
organized to save expense. General
Grant encouraged the idea of a National
Guard on the ground that it would re
lieve the country of the expense of main
taining a regular standing army while at
. the same time it would keep, subject to
call, a strong military force for repres-
' sion of internal disturbanceor protection
against foreign invasion. The very men
who are kicking against the cost of the
encampment on the ground that the sum
expended wonld have met the expense
of a good exhibit at the world's fair are
the very men who kicked hardest against
a dollar being expended in that way.
ARTESIAN WATER.
FrQm the Eatt ffrtgonian, we learn
that steps are being taken in Umatilla
county to adopt some concerted action
for the purpose of sinking artesian wells,
It is suggested that the county make a
donation for the purpose with the under
standing that an equal amount, or more,
be raised by private subscription in and
around the town nearest the place where
artisian water would most likely be
found. Encouragement has been given
to the scheme by the fact that artesian
water was struck last week, in the North
Yakima country at a depth of only 400
feet with a daily flow of 230,000 gallons.
This was in spite of the fact that Super
intendent Powell of the United States
Geodetic department had pronounced
against the scheme.
The Eatt Oregonian names the sum of
$5000 as that which would probably be
required to start the work in Umatilla
county. Will the time ever come when
a movement of this kind will be started in
Wasco county? There are thousands of
acres of land here that, with sufficient
water for irrigation, could be made to
produce anything that can be grown in
a similar climate.
DALLES GENEROSITY.
Under reciprocity treaties made and
being made with foreign countries, the
United States will get exceptional ad
vantages in one fifth of the world's avail
able trade.
Tho world's trade in 1889, according
to Mulhall'8 dictionary of statistics, was
$15,885,000,000 ; two-thirds of this is in
Europe, or $11,570,000,000 and no sane
man looks on the trade of Europe as in
any sense available. England, with the
advantages of 500 years of manufactures
and accumulated capital, has one-third,
or $3,700,000,000 and nearly all the rest
is protected by tariff.
There remains in the world at large,
says the Philadelphia Prest, as the field
of growing and increasing trade $3,715,
000,000, divided between Asia, Africa,
Australia, and North America, outside
of the United States. Of this field
which is the world's open market $730,
000,000, or one-fifth, is in South America,
Mexico and the West Indies. This is as
large a commerce as that of India, as
large as Canada and Australia put to
gether. It is at our doors, and it is the
only great tract in the world's trade to
day lying open to our advance.

SALMON SEASON CLOSED.
The Columbia River salmon season
for 1891 has closed and those directly, or
indirectly interested in this industry are
busy balancing accounts. It is said that
nearly a million dollars were paid out
by the cannery men last week in the
form of. wages etc. The t salmon
pack for the season is 75,000 cases short
of last year and while the exact figures
are not known it is conceded by all the
cannery men to be a trifle over 375,000
cases as compared with 451,925 cases last
year. Of this number 350,000 cases are
No. 1 Columbia river fish and the bal
ance steel-heads and seconds. A heavy
shortage is reported at The. Dalles and
the Cascades. The trapmen and seiners
made considerable money and a few of
the gill-net men did fairly well but the
majority of them barely made wages.
OOOD ENOUGH FOR DUDES.
An exchange says: An instance of
the effects of the McKinleyism is men
tioned bv a large importer of hosiery.
"We get the same stocking as before in
appearance," lie says, "out it is notnmg
but trasn. instead ot tne two-tnread
varns. we now get a miserable single
thread with hardlv Ptrength enough to
hold together."
Serves them right who prefer foreign
hosiery to American made. Stockings
and other hosiery are manufactured in
the United States that are good enough
for any dude that ever squinted through
an eye glass or sucked the bead of
cane. If some folks must have imported
stockings because they are English, you
know, we are patriotic enough to wish
they may never find 'them anything
better than single thread trash.
Shanghai, Aug. 17. There ia no use
disguising the fact that the most serious
state of affairs exist in this country over
the agitation against foreigners and
others. The combined fleets of the
powers may be called upon at any mo
ment to take effective action, looking to
redress for the outrages by the Chinese
government. At present great excite
ment prevails at the increasing tension
between the Chinese government and
tho ministers of foreign powers. From
all appearances the former is obstinate
in its refusal to redress the injury done
foreigners during the recent riots. If
the Chinese authorities do not yield to
the firm demands of the ministers of the
powers a concerted hostile action upon
the part of the vessels of the various
nations represented in these waters is
imminent. Such a state of affairs exists
that it has just become known that the
foreign ministers were compelled to in
form the Chinese government that a
joint naval demonstration of an effective
nature, in which the French, American,
British and German squadrons will take
part, will be ordered in the near future,
unless speedy reparation is made for the
injuries, outrages and abuses complained
of by the ministers of the powers.
London, Aug. 17. The Standard to
day says ; "Should China persist in her
present attitude, grave consequences
are threatened and no one can see
issues. This is what the shrewder of
Kolao and other secret societies desire.
They hope to involve the government
with the foreign 'powers, and thus dis
tract it, knowing that if the powers at
tack China the empire will probably
collapse and the whole of them fall into
a state of anarchy, "which could not be
suppressed in our time. Happily the
European diplomatists understand this
condition of affairs, and knowing how
how desperately fragile is the imperial
authority in China, will persuade the
others to deal with it in a gingerly
manner."
VALUE OF OCR CROPS.
Here ia the cold-blooded way the Or
egonian looks at the efforts of Eastern
Oregon to put a portage on this side the
river.
The fact that there are rival portage
railway schemes seeking aid from Port
land ia hopeful guarantee that the road
about The Dalles will be built by one or
the other. The chief Question in inter
est now seems to be, which can offer the
best terms to Portland. One has the
advantage of rich backing, and the other
of inexpensive construction. iTODaDiy
both will be built ultimately. For the
present, however, both need ready
money, and are likely to compete sharply
and liberally for Portland a support.
The late census shows that in many of
our cities the foreign born population is
greater than the native born. Detroit,
for instance has 100,000 foreign born citi
zens to 75,000 native born. The agita
tion that grew ont of the late New Or
leans lynching suggested the question
from many lips, "What shall we do
withjour foreigners?" while, if the influx
of foreigners continues as it has done in
the past, the really important question
will be : What are the foreigners going
to do with us?
If there was not considerable genuine
truth in the stories of the shortage in
foreign grain crops there would not be
so much excitement in the wheat market,
especially at this time of the year. The
stock gamblers seem determined more
than ever to control the market, and it
will be only a repetition of the same old
story if many of them are found dead
cocks in the pit, financially, before the
snow flies.
The Dalles Portland & Astoria Naviga
tion company finding that Portland was
not responding to the invitation to sub
scribe to the stock of the company with
any liberality that would indicate that
that city was interested in the matter,
and finding that money "is still needed
to get ready for business, sent out a com
mittee through The Dalles this morning
and in about five minutes had raised the
following sums : French & Co., $2000;
B. F. Laughlin, $1000; Robert Mays,
$1000; Mrs. W. Lord, $500; Sam. L.
Brooks, $500. Other smaller sums are
assured. This prompt response to the
company's necessity goes a long way to
prove that this city has men of sufficient
public spirit to generously support any
measure that will benefit the town.
The farmers of Wasco county will not
forget this generosity when they come
to realize the benefits of reduced rates
f transportation.
Mrs. Lease, the sensational alliance or
ator, while lately addressing a meeting
of Kansas farmers is reported to have
said, by way of a final admonition,
use less wheat and more hell." Mrs.
Lease, as an exchange observes, evidently
believes in a diversification of crops but
Kansas farmers will have a hard time
mortgaging the product she recommends
them to cultivate.
Portland wants an open river to the
sea that is, if somebody else will pay
it. Portland contributed the enormous
sum of $2,000 dollars for a line of boats
that will land every pound of freight
they carry at her door. The rich men
of Portland are still too much interested
in Union Pacific stock to take much in
terest in a competing line.
The an ti-trust law passed by the last
congress is a dead letter, as all shrewd
business men knew it would be at the
time. It might be a good measure with
which to keep up appearances but that
was all there was in it. No law that
recognizes individual rights of property, !
.can ever be framed to crush out business
combinations. So long as competition is
right, from a Btrictly business point of
view, so long as it is legal, just so long
will men schemaand form plans and

Expected to be a Billion Dollars More
Than Daring Recent Years.
New York, Aug. 17. The American
Agriculturist, in its annual review of the
harvests, to be published in its Septem
ber issue, estimates that the farm profits
this year will be $1,000,000,000 more
than during the recent years of depres
sion. On the basis of the present pros
pects the corn crop of 1891 is estimated
to be 2,000,000,000 bushels ; wheat, 500,
000,000 bushels; and oats, 622,000,000
bushels. The total yield of wheat, corn
and oats on the basis of this estimate
will be 28.8 per cent, greater than last
year, and 16.7 per cent, above the aver
age of the preceding eleven years. On
this basis the value of the corn crop will
be to the farmers, $1,000,000,000; wheat
$500,000,000: and oats, $250,000,000,
This is $450,000,000 more than the value
of these crops in 1890, and $625,000,000
more than the average of these crops
from 1880 to 1890 inclusive. Cotton and
rice will command better prices than
last season. Cattle will be worth one'
third more than eighteen months ago,
with other live stock in proportion.
Tobacco is advancing heavily, and hops
are firm at good prices. Winter fruit
will command large values and all veget
ables are yielding fairly, with every in
dication of a remunerative market,

BEEiiE, Aug. 17. Yesterday another
wholesale loss of life by a railroad acci
dent occurred on the Jura Sim plan rail
road line near the village of Zolofekan
not far from this city. A special train
carrying a large number of excursionists
from the country districts to this city,
on the way here was run into by the
Paris express while side tracked to al
low the latter to pass. The accident
resulted in a large number of passen
gers being killed, the exact number
of dead and wounded is not known, but
twelve corpses have already been recov
ered from the ruins and it is known
many people nave been seriously in
jured by the collision. No loss of life is
reported among the passengers of the
Paris express. The majority of the pas
sengers aboard the excursion train be
long to towns in the vicinity of this city.
It is thought no American travelers are
among the killed. The accident is
thought to be the result of carelessness
of the railroad officials.
