' THE CHRON-
Much has been said by the press op
posed to the set of resolutions presented
by the Astoria Chamber of Commerce
concerning improvements between Asto
ria and Portland. Astoria has been ac
cused of misrepresenting the facts, but
the accusation lacks confirmation. Now
if this same press wish to be fair, what
have they to say to J. B. Montgomery's
tirade and falsehood and misrepresenta
tion, in an argument ' so-called) to Chair
man Blanchard of the river and harbor
committee, yesterday. People who are
not acquainted with Montgomery and
his methods of obstruction in Oregon to
any and every project that does not con
tribute directly to the corporations with
.which he is intimately concerned, may
credit his statements ; but those who do
know him will receive his statements for
just what they are, malicious perversion
of the truth. It is those who do not
know him whom we should inform be
fore his argument brings trouble to the
honest purposes in view by the Astoria
Chamber of Commerce, and with the
idea of aiding to counteract such influ
ence The Chkoxici.e suggests that the
time has arrived for The Dalles to speak
up, and that a meeting should be called
at once to properly set this matter right
in Washington city, at leaet so far as the
people of Eastern Oregon are concerned.
Montgomery is most undoubtedlpaid
for the work in which he is engaged. As
toria probably has no attorney in court,
but her interests are our interests, and
The Dalles should stand by Astoria.
We have been informed more than
once that certain wire working politic-
ions in Sherman county are laying plans
for the nomination of Hon. E. O. Mc
Coy for the joint eenatorehip of Wasco,
Sherman and Gilliam counties. The
report of course may not bo true. It is
hard to conceive that it can be, but the
bare possibility of such an event ought
to be sufficient to wake uplthe recollec
tions of the Sherman county farmers to
the fact that to E. O. McCoy, more than
to any man living, they owe it that their
countv is still shut up to the tender
mercies of the railroad company as re
cards transportation connection with
Portland and the lower river. If fcher-
man countv republicans are so lost to
their own interests as to put up Mr.
McCoy they will have to do the voting
to elect him, for Wasco county will cer
tainly give them no help. Gentlemen
electors of Sherman county, the Chboiclk
gives you this as a pointer to which you
will do well to take heed. The nomi
nation of Mr. McCoy will only prove
that you deserve to remain in the
clutches of the railroad company till the
crack of doom. The Chhontcxk makes
this statement without the shadow of
a personal feeling toward Mr. McCoy.
It is a matter of deep regret with this
Journal that a solem sense of duty com-
pells it to condemn the official record of
a man whose private and social life has
deservedly won him many warm per
sonal friends. As a servant of the peo
ple Mr. McCoy has been weighed in the
balance and found wanting.
NORTHWEST NEWS.
The dispatches yesterday informed us
that the senate committee on commerce
has authorized Senator Dolph to report
favorably his bill appropriating $1,750,
000 for the completion of the canal and
' locks at the cascades with a proviso that
no more than one-third of the total ap
propriation should be expended in any
one year. We may not understand the
proper intent of this singular proviso
but on the face of it it seem very curious
that the committee should hedge about
the appropriation with any condition
that would retard the progress of the
.work. Of course in the long run it will
make little difference if the committee
should stipulate that the money to be
appropriated should not be spent for
the next score of years. There is very
little liklihood that the present congress
will grant a dollar for the work. Even
Senator Dolph is free to admit that he
greatly fears that his bill will not receive
favorable consideration .in the- house;
but this only increases our surprise that
the alleged representatives of the people
should be so anxious, even when pro
posing to grant an appropriation, to em
barrass it with conditions whose only
object seems to le the putting off of the
completion of the work for the longest
possible period.
The bullion value of the United States
silver dollar is today worth sixty-nine
cents the lowest point, we believe, it has
ever reached. The value of silver has
always been fluctuating and unstable.
This is history not theory. By the law
of Menes, King of Egypt the value of
gold was fixed at two and one-half times
that of cilver. In the timee oLSolomon
it was so abundant as to accounted as
nothing, and in Ecbatana the tiles. on
the roof of temples were of solid silver.
In the fifth century the ratio of gold
was six to eight times that of silver. In
Greece in Plato's time it was ten to one.
During the middle ages and down to the
sixteenth century the ratio was ten to
thirteen to one. The discovery of silver
mines brought down the ratio to sixteen
to one and since 1873 the product of
silver has doubled and the actual ratio of
silver is now only twenty-two to 1 of gold.
Throw open our mints to tree coinage
and what with our own annual product
and the absorption . of the world's sur
plus silver will descend still lower
till the country is reduced to an absolute
silver basis ai.d every dollar of gold
driven out of it.
7 The demagogue who will publicly
through. the press, or privately vive voce
teach people that there is no difference
between the democratic and republican
parties on the tariff question, would, as
readily, if he could make it pay, teach
ignorant, unsuspecting people that there
is no difference between Heven ana rietl
Albany Democrat.
The town council of Prineville has suc
ceeded in enforcing the ordinance which
requires saloons to close their places" of
business on the first day ot the week.
From the Ochoeo Review we learn of
the death of Hon. Elisha Barnes which
occurred recently in Gower, Clinton
county, Missouri. Mr. Barnes was a
pioneer of Ochoco valley, having settled
in that country in 1869. He was elected
to the state eenate from Wasco county in
1874 He leaves a wife and seven sons
and daughters, five of" whom, namely
George W'., Frank, William, Mareey and
Mrs. Belknap, reside in Crook county-.
Mrs. S. T. Kichardson . in faalero, and
Mrs. Minor Lewis in Woodburn. Mr.
Barnes was born in Kentucky in 1826
and came across the plains to California
in 1853.
A Society Item.
There is another wedding to chronicle J
that of Lame Betty to a cow puncher,
who recently came in here from Dead
Dog. by the name of Broncho Jim. The
wedding took place near Paddy Joe's
tepee and the bride was the recipient of
many beautiful presents, among which
were a pair of brass knuckles and two
coyote scalps. She was attired in a be
witching pair of overhalls, the back
drapery gracefully looped up with a
bright new bale rope. The happy
couple have rented a haystack near the
slaughter house, where they will reside
till the springtime comes gentle Annie.

How to Reduce English Pounds to Their
Exact Equivalent In American Dollars.
Multiply by 4.8665 and point off four
places for cents and fractions thereof.
Thus 1313x4.8665, that is $83.26 and
95-100 of a cent. But for sterling ex
change multiply by $4.84 in an ordinary
New York market.
How to
It is said there is something like $70,'
000 yet remaining of the last appropria
tion for the Cascade Locks. Xow the
proper plan for spending that sum, in a
way that will do the most good to the
railroad company is to allow an army
of dude clerks to draw as much
of it as possible until the high water
comes in the summer and then devote
what is left to pumping the water out of
the canal. The Chronicle offers this
suggestion to the "Maiah." Xow gee if
he does not adopt it.
The Ciiuoxicr.E earnestly hopes that
. the coming primaries and conventions
will make no mistakes in the selection of
delegates and candidates for the state
and national legislatures. It is infinite
ly more important that the candidates
should be men of unflinching integrity
. and honesty, men who cannot be bought
or bribed, men, if possible, of tried and
trusted reputation, men of brains and
ability, men whose every energy will be
pledged to the interests of Eastern Ore
gon, and the whole state, than that they
should be either 'democrats or republi
cans. The people should insist above all
things, that no man be nominated to ei
ther of these places who is even remote
ly associated with the avowed or con
cealed enemies of an open river
Let the crranpers find allianra mpn wlin
bitterly and sometimes justly denounce
monopolies and dishonest legislation see
that the primaries ate controlled by
themselves and not by a set of wire
workers who are simply the tools and
hirelings of their masters.
The Northwest Reform Journal thinks
that government whisky at cost would
destroy the saloons. It proposes to carry
out this "reform" on the ruins of the
prohibition party and trusts the alliance
and people's party conventions will take
up the question of "whisky at cost" and
"knock the attempt to organize the pro
hibition party in good shape." "Gov
ernment whisky at cost"- ought, for a
fact, to be a powerful rallying cry.
Every blear-eyed whisky bloat on the
Oregon footstool ought to subscribe at
once for the Reform Journal. No charge
for this advertisement.
Why do the single tax fiends persist in
saying that the single tax signifies a tax
on land values when it is no such thing?
Why not be manly about it and call it
by its right name Confiscation of land
values, for that is what it is, and they
know it.
. There is no paper on our exchange
list that we read with so much pleasure
as ave do the Klamath Star. Peter the
. Poet seems to be a whole-eouled, kind-
hearted, sound-livered, ' healthy-stom
. ached fellow, who invariably looks at
the bright side of life. He is as far re
moved from the crank and demagogue as
it is possible to be in these days when
the crank and demagogue bacillus is in
haled with every breath of air. There
is never a cloud lowering over Klamath
land and the Star always shines brightly
from a clear sky. May the shadow of
Peter the Poet never grow less.
' The telegraphic accounts of scale from
Florida to California, set to shame what
experience Oregon has had from her
sister state on this matter. It is a sub
ject for national legislation, and the
Chronicle calls upon the Oregon deli
gation to put in a bill: that will settle
the difficulty effectually.
. 'Statistics of the Portland Library
show an avidity on the part of Portland
readers for fiction. In a total of 21,000
volumes of fiction on the shelves of that
library 17,000 were given out.
Peter the Poet says "the first thing an !
Oregon corpse does after waking up and
assuring himself that he is dead, is to
run for the legislature." Peter is hard
on Oregon corpses.
- A l'leawat Sruprlse.
Last evening as Rev. W. C. Curtis and
wife were enjoying what- promised to be
a quiet hour with Mr. and Mrs. Bela
Huntington. Mr. Curtis was called to
the door. There being some failure to
understand just who was wanted. Mrs.
Curtis accompanied him to the door,
where the two remained greeting one
and another, until about fifty of his con
gregation and friends stood around him.
Full half of them had entered the fionse
before it dawned upon him that it was a
surprise so complete that he came near
being absent from it altogether. Having
almost decided to yield to a certain in
disposition and remain at home for the
evening though eonie of the more sturdy
ones declared that he would have fouud
that impossible, as he would have been
brought by main force if there had been
no other way. .
After taking off their wraps the party
gathered around the pastor, when Mr:
Bela Huntington, in a pleasant little
speech, presented him with a box of sil
ver coin, to help in replacing some' of the
books or study furniture destroyed by
the fire, while by word and way the
friends assured the pastor of their res
pect and affection. All of which was
fully appreciated by the pastor and his
good wife. The rest of the evening was
spent in games and social chat, and an
abundance of refreshments being fur
nished for the inner man. AH together
making an evening Ions to be remem
bered by both pastor and people for the
real pleasure of it.
A Verrible Mistake.
A celebrated German physician was
once called upon to treat an aristocratic
lady, the sole cause of whose complaint
was high living and lack of exercise.
Put it would never do to tell her so, so
his medical advice ran thus:
"Arise at 6 o'clock, take a walk in the
park for one hour, then drink a cup of
tea, then walk another hour and take a
cap of chocolate. Take breakfast at 8."
Her condition unproved visibly, untL
one morning the carriage of the baroness
was seen to approach the . physician's
residence at lightning speed.
The patient dashed up to the doctor's
office, and on his appearing on the scene
she gasped out, "Oh, doctor I took the
chocolate first 1"
"Then drive home as fast yon can."
ejaculated the astute disciple of JEscu
lap, rapidly writing a prescription, "and
take this emetic. The tea must be un
derneath." The grateful patient com
plied. She is still improving. Chicago

Editor Chronicle:
As Dude and Hayseed have kept' quiet
for some time, I will break the silence,
for it is very embarrassing to scan the
columns of your esteemed paper and not
see items from our "dear old''.Vapinitia.
Farmers are all very busy plowing
With the exception of an occasional
freeze of a night, ground is in prime con
dition.
The Tygh hill road is the sole topic of
talk among us, for a road to market we
must have, and should this last effort
prove a failure, Portland via the Barlow
route across the mountains, is our nest
resort.
Our very quiet community has been
taken by storm by a farmers' alliance
organizer, during the first meeting last
week, 'twenty charter members were
obtained, and a full "list" of -officers
elected. There will be another meeting
on the 20th.
Our modest but lengthy friend John
Porter has sold forty acres of his farm
to Mr. Wm. Davis, receiving $100 in
payment. 'We will right here warn
speculators to steer clear of this place,
for there is no more land to be had at
that price. .
J. R. Cunningham and John Delco,
two of our crack "bronco setters" have

Mr. A. A. Bonney of The Dalles, was
in our land, last week - looking at Mr.
Nels. Weberg's beef, also Mr. William
Davis herd, we ' understand he offered
$27 per head for them, but Xels. and
William couldn't see it that way.

go. Office seekers would do well to hap

How to Save a Broom.

more pliable, lasting longer and not cut

How to Ascertain the State of the Lungs.
Persons who wish to ascertain the true
state of their lungs are directed to draw
in as much breath as they conveniently
can. They are then to count as far as
they are able, in a slow and audible voice,
without drawing in more breath. The
number of seconds they can continue
counting must be carefully observed. A
person with consumption cannot count
more than ten seconds and frequently
after six is exhausted. In pleurisy and
pneumonia it ranges from nine to four
seconds. When the lungs are in a sound
condition the time will vary from twenty
to thirty-five seconds.

Bow and When to Wear a Scarfplu.
A scarfpin should never be worn
merely as an ornament. When it does
not serve a useful purpose it should be
left in the pin cushion at home. For
instance, a properly made sailor's knot
stays In place by itself, and a scarfpin
should never be worn with it. With the
made up scarfs in imitation ' of the
sailor's knot a pin should never be used.
Indeed, made up scarfs are not consid
ered good form by men who are particu
lar as to dress. There is only one cravat
in which a scarfpin should be worn.
This cravat is called by various names,
but is probably better known now as
the four-in-hand. It is really a scarf.
It should be tied in one hard knot and
then the ends folded over in front and
fastened together with the scarfpin,
which should be run through the cravat
twice so that half an inch or so of the
pin itself will show in the cravat. Its
purpose is thus made manifest. A man
should never wear anything which does
not serve a useful purpose.
How to Make a Feather Brush.
Boil the wing feathers of -a turkey or
chicken for five or ten minutes, then
rinse them in tepid water, dry and tie
np in a bunch suitable to use in greas
ing pans or brushing egg over tarts or
pastry. -
How to Treat for an Overdose of Opium
4r Laudanum.
Give any quick -emetic ypu have at
hand. If there is none, tickle the roof of
the tongue and throat with finger or
feather till the patient vomits. Then
pour in hot strong coffee as long as the
patient can be made to swallow it. This
should be done from the -first, without
waiting for the vomiting, if the latter be
delayed more than two or three minutes.
Keep the patient moving and sweating.
If necessary to the latter, place the feet
in hot water or hot cloths. Of course
a physician should be sent for while all
this is going on. Opiates are not taken
np by the stomach as rapidly as is gen
erally supposed, and life may often be
saved long after the poison is swallowed.
How to Prevent Bleeding.
Put a little sugar' In the linen cloth
used for a bandage, moisten sugar with
saliva and lay directly over the cut,
binding as tightly as possible. The
sugar will quickly stanch the flow of
blood.
How to Give Medicines.
Medicines should be given in such a
manner that the effect or the first dose
shall not have ceased when the next dose
is given, therefore the intervals between
the doses should be regulated according
ly. It is well also to remember that
fluids act quicker than powders and pow
ders sooner than pills.
How -to Make a Wainscot for the Hall of
a Country Hoase
A striking. and beautiful wainscot for
any hall where it can be suitably placed
is made by fastening dry cornstalks side
by side in an upright position against
the wall. They should be cut off slant
ingly at about the height of a wainscot
from - the floor, and when all is in place
varnished.
Settlement of a School District Dispute.
. The State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, E. B.' Mcllroy, has just
rendered a decision in a case that was
brought before him from the Mosier dis
trict, on appeal from the .decision of
County Superintendent Troy Shelly,
that involves matters of interest to the
general public. The history of the case
shows that in July 1891, thirty-five per
sons claiming to be legal voters in school
district No. 8 petitioned Superintendent
Shelly for a division of the district-.
Notice of an injunction to etop
proceedings was served on Mr. Shelly in
the following month. In September the
case came before the circuit judge and
theinjuction was dissolved. The dis
trict was then divided and notice served
on the chairman of the board of direc
tors. This action was- followed by i
remonstrance, signed by thirty-seven
persons claiming to be legal voter sin the
district and certain affidavits were filed
protesting against tbe division; but the
superintendent refused to grant a
rehearing of the- caee and in
appeal was taken to the state
superintendent. The appellant claimed
that the superintendent had failed to
notify the officers of the district that he
had made the division, that the division
would work an irreparable injurv to the
residents of the districts and that the
district had a right of appeal. .
The respondent in his answer held
that the district should be divided be
cause a considerable number of children
in the new district had heretofore been
debarred from school privileges by reason
of the distance they lived from the school
house; that the injunction forfeited the
right of appeal : that the district was
divided in compliance with the wishes
of a majority of the legal voters of the
district and that the appellants ejred in
bringing an injunction instead of offering
a remonstration or appealing to the state
superintendent.
The state superintendent fully sus
tained the action of the county superin
tendent and affirmed his decision.

Lost in an Abandoned Mine.
An old gold mine near Georgetown,
CaL, long since deserted by its owners,
is still visited by miners who take out
an occasional grub stake.
Henry Fraser, an old Georgetown
miner, went into the mine ten days ago
to work a claim about a mile under
ground. He lost his candle and matches,
and was unable to find hia. way among
the hundreds of passages. -
For ten days he was without food,
water or light,' and suffered untold
agonies. His friends grew anxious at
his long absence and Started out in
search of him. They immediately re
paired to the mine and found him more
dead than alive, about a mile- from the
month of the tunnel.
' The mine is under an old river chan
nel, and varies from 25 to 100 feet in
width. This has been all worked out,
leaving an irregular chamber from 10 to
U feet in height, filled with rocks and
gravel. To reach this channel Fraser
had to pass through a tunnel 700 feet in
length. (t was only after tiresome
search that his friends found him. Cor.
