The county convention of the patrons
of husbandry met at Douglas Hollow
Grange on Saturday March 5 and elected
A. S. Roberts and R. P. Underwood del
egates to the next meeting of the state
grange. C. J. Gschwend and A. B.
Mott were elected alternates. On mo
tion it was agreed to hold the next
meeting of the Wasco and Sherman
counties business council with Wheat
trrftijce. near Moro. commencing Tues
day March 15, 192.
The value of our water system, as a
protection against fire, may be gathered
from the fact that two stream can be
run from any one of the new hydrants
each one of which will throw water to
fully as great a distance as it is possible
to do with the fire engine. The gravity
force is in fact equal to two fire engines
at every hydrant. All that we need is
plenty of hose and we have provision
for putting out fire equal to the best to
be found anywhere. The wisdom of the
men who fought for the gravity system
in the teeth of the bitterest opposition,
has been fully justified.
A test was made this morning of the
new fire hvdrant at the corner of Second
and Court streets. Two hose were attach
ed, each with a three-quarter inch noz
zle, then one hose with an inch nozzle.
In both cases magnificent streams of
water rose high towards the blue ex
panse and fell in drenching torrents on
the neighboring buildings, or with hose
held laterally shot out the liquid fire
extinguisher for nearly a block's space
in length. It was a splendid test and a
grand result of the efforts of our city
fathers to give The Dalles the best water
system on the Pacific coast. To
Chronicle representative, however
due the credit of preventing an accident
that, however much it might have been
regretted on personal grounds, would
unquestionably have been received, had
it happened, as a fitting act of retiibu
tive justice. At the last test, when the
water was turned into the hose, Jack
Staniels held in his grasp the inch noz
zle. It was directed squarely at the
little shack in which the Mountaineer
press has ground out so many lies about
the water system. As the water shot
out with the force of a thousand cata
pults the voice of the reporter sang out
upon the ambient air : "Look out for the
Mountaineer office, Jack," and Jack
quickly responded by turning the stream
to' the starboard side of the shack as he
quietly remarked: "Didn't the blank
shanty come near being blown to
sheol ?" It was' a close call for the little
growl factory on Court street. After this
an inch and a quarter nozzle threw a
stream - laterally by actual measurement
155 feet. . .

up to The Dalles where his injury
attended to by Dr. Hugh Logan.
Mr. Burdan, of Hood River, nearly
broke all the batting fraternity of The
Dalles today on the definition of the
words choir and quire. Both have the
same meaning, according to Webster,
when applied to a chorus of singers,
But in all well regulated printing offices
there is a uniformity in the distinction
which makes it very rare to see the word
auire referring to to a choir, or party of
singers. . .

the county court has been given to mat
ters in probate this week. Tbecommis
missioners are today sitting with him

pomtea to attend tne court, in tbe in

Hollingshead, M. J. Anderson and Robt.
Kelly desire to sincerely thank the
court and the people of The Dalles for
their libeial appropriation and contri
bution. ' '
Mr. Blackman, one of the enterpris
ing merchants of Heppner, was in the
city yesterday, enroute to the consolida
ted city, on purely matters of business,
When questioned by a representative of
the Chboniclb about the report ' of his
candidacy, on the democratic ticket, for
representative to congress, Mr; Blackman
said: "You may say that I have no
aspirations for political honors ; that I
am not the mayor of Heppner, nor do I
expect that my name will be brought
before any convention for any nomina
tion whatever."
The Times-Mouniaineer said yesterday :
"The fire-plug, at the corner of Second
and Court streets was tested this morn
ing, and with two hose attached threw
streams a long distance." You bet it
did, and juBt how near the Mountaineer
press came of never recording this con
fession of the excellence 'of our "water
system may be gathered from a fact that
has just come to the Chboniclb's knowl
edges The new reservoir is only about
two-thirds fulfof water and not nearly
the whole "pressure was turned on Uhe
pipes when the test was made. Hadtlie
whole pressure been turned on and the
hose turned toward theMouittainrer office
there would now be nothing left of it but
the baseless fabric of a horrid night
mare. ' -
The exceeding smallness of the Union
Pacific may be gathered from the fact
that they have adopted the plan of
charging through, freight to The Dalles
for all goods carried by them from San
Francisco to Portland and consigned to
the D. P. & A. N. Co. A few days ago,
for example, a San Francisco house con
sighed to this office, via", the Union
Pacific boats to Portland, thence by the
new boats, a small box of printing ma
terial. The charges - to Portland were
12.55 while the rate is but $1.05.' Tbe ex
cess was the freight to The Dalles. In
quiry at the Portland office elicited the
reply that the Union Pacific was in the
carrying business and would take the
freight on to Tbe Dalles without any ad
ditional charges, If the consignee eo de
desired. The same treatment Las been
accorded to several other shippers. The
U. P. is determined to cut its own throat.
Its action is a sample of highhanded and
arbitrary defiance of law and the
people's rights. It is just such treat
ment that has increased the demand for
an open river to the force of a cyclone.
Meanwhile shippers will do well to con
sign all freights that come by way of
San Francisco to some responsible Port
land forwarding Company that will pay
the freight to Portland and see that they
are forwarded to The Dalles by the
people's lioats.

The Australian Ballot Law.-'
' . Faib View, Or.,'March 9, 1S92.
Editor Chronicle: You will do a" favor
for the writer, and a great many others,
if you will, through the columns of your
paper, answer the following questions in
reference to sectiorr-31 of the Australian
ballot j law : The, -writer, and many
others, claim that it is a bold and treach
erous step, closely allied with disfran
chisement, by prohibiting any organiza
tion or political party from nominating
and electing the . men of their choice,
unless they had polled three per cent, of
the whole vote cast at the last state
election. '. It seems as thongb the bosses
would like to compel, by law, -the lion
est toilers and tax payers of this state to
march .up and swallow the dose,-and
thank the gods it was no more. ' No sir ;
Mr..D. and R., we are onr own physic
:ans, prescribe our own medicines, com
pound our pellets and fire the same with
our own guns, and deem section 31' un
constitutional; and, if so, it were better
that the framers had a mill-stone around
their necks and cast themselves in the
sea. Please answer the writers ques
tions and oblige. Yours, R." F. W.
As the Chronicle understands section
31 of the Australian Ballot Law, candi
dates for office may be nominated in
three ways. Firsts By a convention of
delegates representing a political party
which at the election next preceeding
polled at least three per cent, of the en
tire vote cast in the state: county, pre
cinct or other electoral district for which
the nomination is made. Second. By
an assembly of electors, numbering not
less than a hundred, of the state or elec
toral division thereof. .Third. By in
dividual electors comprising a like num
ber of an hundred persons. We think
our correspondent is clearly mistaken
when be supposes that the law is de
signed to shut out new parties. It does
nothing of the kind. Any assembly of
electors, to the. number of an hundred,
may nominate candidates or put up - a
ticket, whether they have ever been in
the field previously as a political party
or not. In other words, any candidate
who can command the sappoi t of an
hundred electors in the state,- or any
electoral division thereof, may be put in
nomination for any office in the gift of
the people. -
