THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1892 Tbe Weekly Ctooniele. ' TM DALLBS, - - - - OKKOON FRIDAY, - - - JANUARY 29, 1892. ' ' ' LOCAL AMD PICBSOJfAL,. Mrs. Harauiond of Albina is visiting relations and friends in The1 Dalles. Good roads are indispensable to the prosperity and growth of this country. The infant child of Mr. and . Mrs. Walker, both deaf mutes of this city, was found dead in the bed beside them yesterday morning. The state 'and county tax leyy foa Baker county for the current year is 32 mills. Taxes come high over there but they must have 'em. A farmers' alliance has been organ . ized at Kingsly with eighteen charter members. The next regular meeting will be held February 21st. The Eastern Oregon pomological so ciety will meet next Saturday at 1 o'clock p. m. at the old court house for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year and transacting, other im portant business. The next term of circuit court in this county, will commence February 8th. Judge Bradahaw having cleared the docket at the last term, the coming one will be very short. The jurors have been drawn, and the sheriff will soon be after the lucky ones. A ball was given at the Kingsley hall, .Kingsley, on Thursday night last which was quite a grand affair and a very pro nounced success. Oar informant says he happened to be there and took it in, ' and he thinks the Kingsley people are the best and jolliest people in the world and the Chronicle thinks so too. The case of the state vs. W. H. Spease was tried in the circuit court of Baker City last week. Spease was indicted for having employed a Dr. Meek to perform a criminal operation on a Mrs. Weaver, who used to live at Arlington and is not unknown in this city. The charge was fully proved and the jury were only out a few minutes when they agreed upon a verdict of guilty as charged. The county court will hold an ad journed meeting this afternoon. To night the court will confer with as many of the taxpayers as may attend the meeting to be held in the county court room, on the question of making the county levy from the findings of the state board of equalization or from the returns of the county assessor. The coutny levy will be made tomorrow. The Arlington Record is a regular visitor at this office. Typographically it is a clean, neat little paper as one would expect it to be under the super vision of Arthur Kennedy of this city, while its editorial and local colums are always full of bright, crispy, newsy items from the pen of its editor and pro prietor John A. Brown. We hope it may live long and prosper. Mr. Linus Hubbard called at the Chronicle office Monday and showed us samples of tin ore from Durango, Mex ico, from the Etta mine, Haf ney Peak district, South Dakota, and from the San Jacinto mine, Temescal, California. All of these mines are now being worked to a greater or less extent and all have given assurances that they can be worked successfully. B. W. Crooks of Glenn Wood, Wash ington, returned to The Dalles Friday sight from Dufur where he has been for the past eight weeks under treat ment of Dr. Vanderpool for cancer in the lip, face and nose. When he went to Dufur the cancer on his lip was about the size of a hazel nut and that on his nosa and face extended across one cheek nearly to his ear. AlmoBt every sign and trace of the disease is gone as far as can be seen, without any disfigurement of the parts affected. The doctor has five patients under treatment at present some of them very bad cases, one a can cer of twenty years standing : yet all are doing hopefully. A Dangerous Road. S. E. Farris returned to the city last evening from a month's visit to his old home -in Wapinitia. Speaking about the road over Tyglt hill he said : "The upper grade is wholly impassible! One can neither get np nor down. A wagon has to leave the grade and go square down or np, as the case may be, the point of the mountain where it is so steep that one has to hold on with his teeth." How long will this state of af fairs continue? Is there n man in the ' three settlements of Tygh, Wamic and Wapinitia who has energy enough to say to his neighbors "Come and let us build the new grade and remove this blot upon civilization and humanity? Now is a time when work on the new grade might be started.. A month or two from now everybody will be at the plow. Must another year pass without . anything having been done to remedy this evil? The above had scarcely been set in type when Frank . Dean, of Wamic, called at the Chronicle office and in formed the writer that in attempting to come up the particular place referred to, on his way to town yesterday, his hack slipped off the grade and pulled the team over the bank with the "result that the hack is badly damaged while the horses fortunately escaped with nothing worse than some bad braises. This sort of thing has beem happening at that place every year or so for a long time. Three or four years ago W. H. Butts, of this city was going down the hill with a fonr-horse load of wheat and at the exact place where Mr. Dean met tne mishap, the wagon left the grade and was dashed to pieces in the canyon a hundred feet below. A valuable span of wheel horses was killed on the spot, and the leaders only escaped because thev had been tied behind the wagon for convenience going down the hill. Again we demand how long is this state of affaire to last? While it is.not possible to make a good grade at that narticnlar Doint it could certainly be worked so that it would slope toward the hillside instead of towards the bluff, and the supervisor, whoever he is, should see that this is done. But a new road altogether is needed . and for this the county court would certainly do something generous, but it is ouly fair that the people of the three settlements interested should first show a disposi tion to help themselves. When this is done the Chronicle and its friends at this end of the line will do everything in their power to help the matter along. Besides a liberal appropriation from the county court the Chronicle believes that a generous subscription could be raised here ; but the people themselves must start the ball a rolling. Will they do so or wait till some more teams are killed and wagons destroyed and per haps human lives lost? Weshallsee. or Interest to Horticulturists. The Marion County Fruit Growers' Association held its annual meeting at Salem on the 18th instant, when topics of interest to horticulturists and gardners were discuseed. Among the papers read was one by B. S. Pague, on "Horticult ure and Climatic ' Considerations," which contained the following remarks of general interest to fruit growers and of special interest to the fruit growers of Wasco county. Ten acres of fuit trees at the age of five years, he said will yield more in one year than would twenty acres of wheat in five years ; each acre each yeir, yielding twenty-five bushels to the acre, and each bushel selling for 80 cents. He said that the weather bureau record showed that in the vicinity of Hood River and The Dalles, the low est night temperature was higher in that locality than in any other part of the state from June 1st to September loth, making the section especially suited to peach culture. He explained how cold air settled in valleys and said vegetation on rising ground is never exposed to the full intensity of frosts or cooler night air and the higher they are situated relative to the immediately surrounding district, the less they are exposed, since their relative elevation provides a ready escape downward of the cooler air almost as rapidly as it is formed. Frosts are most severely felt where the slopes above them are destitute of vegetation, for if the slopes are covered with trees, they offer resistance to the descending cur rents of cold air and distribute the cold produced by radiation through the atmosphere." He then distinguighed the frost and nonfrost periods as they generally exist in Oregon and affect vegetation, andjgave an example of how with the dry and wet bulb thermometer any horticulturist could determine for himself the probable approach of frost and ' gave remedies of how to protect orchards from frost by burning damp straw and allowing the smoke to cover the orchard Resolutions. At a meeting of the Portland Chamber oi Commerce, held on the evening of the 21st the following preamble and res olutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, The need of immediate im provements of Oregon's water-ways is of the utmost importance, not only to the state, but also to the commercial inter ests of the entire coast, and Whereas, The river and harbor com mittee of congress are willing and desir-' ous of having the needs of this section in this matter presented to them by a del egation before February 10, therefore, be it Resolved, That our delegates to the National Board of Trade session to be held in Washington, D. C, on January 27, be and are hereby requested and in structed to wait upon the river and har bor committee and present the needs of Oregon in the matter of the improve ment of her water-ways.

J. B. Cbosskn, Clerk, (seal) By G. P. Morgan, Deputy. Will Apply to Our Schools. Editor Chronicle : The following communication clipped from an eastern periodical contains so much good sense and practical advice that I should esteem it a favor if you would give it a place in your columns. I can only add that I believe it applies here with as much force as it does ia the community to which it is addressed, and that I give it my own unqualified appro val. Sincerely yours, . W. C. Ingalls, Principal W. I. A. To the people of this community in general, and in particular to those who have children in our schools : . Dear Friends: It is my conviction, and not only mine, but it is the convic tion of other teachers in our school with whom I have talked upon this subject, that there does not exist in this com munity that strong sentiment that ought to exist against absences from school work. In too many cases, parents not only permit children to absent them selves from school bnt, worse still, act ually detain .them from their school work for reasons that are neither good nor satisfactory. . The illness of the absent pupil, or ill ness of the family are always satisfactory reasons for absence and where honestly given will always meet with ready ac ceptance. But beyond these there are very few really good reasons that can be advanced for the detention of a child from his school duties, and especially so when considered side by side with rea sons like the following against such de tention. To begin with, it is positively harmful to the developing character of a child either to encourage him or to permit him to forsake his school duties for any reasons other than those most abso lutely imperative. His school work is,. or should be, his chief business at his ! time of life and ever- other call whether ! of asocial, business or educational na ture should ' be ; made to bend to it. Show me a man- who has failed in his business because of his giving too much time and attention to matters outside of his business, and nine times ont of ten I will show you a man who, when a boy, did not learn as he should have learned, to pay that undivided attention to his school work which the formation of such qualities of character as attention and application demands. An old adage tells as that it is not profitable to have too many irons in the fire at the same time. : In the second place it is unjust both to his classmates that a child should be permitted or compelled to be unnecessa rily absent from his school duties. Ev ery absence . renders it necessary for the teacher to do special work with the ab sent child when he returns in order that the child may not lose, any- portion of the subject which the class has gone over in his absence and which is necess ary for the child's intelligent and profit able continuation of the subject. This extra work done by the teacher is nearly always at the expense .of time or energy or both that properly belong to the class as a whole and not to any individual member of it. When the absence is un avoidably necessary the teacher will gladly make this e'xtra expenditure of time and strength and the class will cheerfully acquiesce therein. But when the absence is unnecessary, then the necessity of the performance of this ex tra labor is an injustice both to the teacher and to the child's classmates. In the next place the tax-payers of this community and or. this common wealth do not maintain public schools as play places where children, whether of their own volition or by and with the consent of their' parents, may attend school or not just as it happens to please them. And again, inasmuch as under the laws of Vermont everv absence, excusa ble or otherwise, diminishes to a certain extent the district's share of the school money, so when such absence is avoida ble, the parent consenting to it, or worse still, requiring it, in effect casts upon all the tax-payers of this commu nity a certain amount, small though it be, of increased burden of taxation. This again is manifestly unjust and in consistent with the duties and obliga tions of good citizenship. I rest the matter here, trusting that the proper spirit will take it into con sideration' and that the result will be more regular attendance on the part of many and less frequent requests for ab sence on grounds reasonably avoidable and unnecessary. 1 know that the best sentiment of the community upon this subject is right and in complete accord with what I have stated above. It only remains then, for this "best sentiment" to make itself decidedly felt and those who might otherwise venture will no longer dare to run counter to it. The results will be most beneficial to the schools and their work. I have said the above in kindness towards everybody and from a sense of duty. I remain, dear friends, your obedient servant, James D. Hob.ne, Principal Brattleboro, Vt., high school. CURRENT COMMENT.

Some state papers are calling attention to the large amounts received annually in fees by county clerks and sheriffs, and think they should be cut' down. This is true, but it would be a difficult thing to do. Propose a bill of that sort in the legislature, and all. the sheriffs and clerks of the state would at once raise a fund and a lobby, and a majority of the legislature would be scared out of their intentions in snort order. At least that is the' usual history of all such attempts. Dallas Observer. If the Pittsburg Dispatch has told the solemn truth, it is easy to secure a very cheap and safe light for temporary use. It is only necessary to put some heated olive oil into a small bottle, drop in a piece of phosphorus, cork it up securely and put it in a safe place, Any time the cork is removed tor a lew seconns and then replaced a poweiful light will be given ont by the bottle, which will last several minutes and be again re newed . at any moment by pulling out the cork. From a lengthy editorial in the New York World reviewing the work" of Hill as governor of the state we take the fol lowing extracts r "He has saved the state not less than $4,000,000 of wasteful expenditures by his vetoes alone, and a much larger sum by securing the aboli tion of costly and unnecessary bureaus, and by the deterrent influence.of his known hostility to extravagance upon the acts of the legislature. He has made possible the lowest tax-n t s in thirty-six j years, with no direct tux at all for state purposes. , ... , ' Ioes Faraslna; Fay? Mr: .

The tendency of this disease toward Enenmonia is what makes it dangerous, a Grippe requires precisely the same treatment as a severe cold." Chamber lain's Cough Remedy is famous for its cures of severe colds. This Remedy effectually counteracts the tendency of the disease to result in pneumonia, pro vided that proper care be taken to avoid exposure when recovering from the at tack. Careful inquiry among the many thousands who have "used this remedy during the epidemics of the past two years has failed to discover a single case that has not recovered or that has re sulted in pneumonia. 25 cent, 50 cent and $1 bottles for sale by Blakeley & Houghton, druggists. dw Unnecessary Sufferings.
