The Times-Mountatneer eays: "'The
faction which has domineered over the
politics of this connty has met defeat at
the primaries, the county convention
and in the state convention.
Ithas'met a most disastrous Waterloo,
and it must learn by experience that
the people rule in The Dalles and Wasco
county. For the past twenty years this
selfish . clique has impeded enterprise
and progress in this city until The
Dalles today is a synonym all over the
northwest for "mossbackism," and car
ried its spleen against those who op
posed it in political, business and social
relations. We hope this utter rout of
its forces, '"horse, foot and dragoons,"
will teach it a practical lesson in good
behavior and respect for the rights of
others.
i The situation is this:. There are two
factions in the .Republican party of
Wasco county." One is known as the
Moody faction ; the other as the Mays
or if you will the Farley faction. The
Moody faction is the friend and tool of
the railroad, always was and always will
be, . till God converts it and that will
never be. The Moody faction is the
enemy of the people. It's head and
boss and chief sachem is the pliant and
open tool of the railroad, made all he
owns and all that all belonging to him
own through the railroad. He is an
open enemy of an open river and an
open and avowed friend of the railroad,
and the Times-Mountaineer is his prophet.
The head of the other faction is Robert
Mays. . He is the president of the new
line of boats and one of its largest stock'
holders. The "faction" to whjh he be
longs is th friend of an open river. It
is composed largely of the men who
built the boats and thereby put thous
ands of dollars in the people's pockets.
Every interest of this "faction," from its
head down is identified with and bound
up in the interests common to nil. The
Times-Mountaineer claims the Moody
. faction is on top or it means nothing.
If the Times-Mountaineer claim is true
then, the worst enemy of the people of
Wasco county is on top; then the rail
road is on top ; then the enemy of an
open river is on top. Where is the vic
tory of Moody in the county and state
nominations? What Moody men are on
the ticket? Let the Mountaineer name
them, dare to name and the voters of
Wasco county, republicans, democrats,
alliance men, prohibitionists, everybody,
will as one man unite to bury them as
sure as' there is a God in Israel. The
Chronicle is not fighting the ticket,
does not intend to fight the ticket but it
will fight the enemies of the people as
long as the present writer has control of
it.
NOT ALONE THE DALLES.
' Our worthy contemporary of Walla
Walla, the Statesman, acknowledging
the receipt of one of Uncle Linus Hub
bard's Whaleback-locks pictures says:
"It is intended to be prophetic of what
will certainly occur at The Dalles, when
the cascade locks are finished." Not
alone The Dalles, Bro. Parker. These
modern light draft steamers are so con
structed that they may ascend any or
dinary creek, and with the means pro
vided at the dalles of the Columbia,
simultaneously with the completion of
the locks at the cascades, might reach
Walla Walla if the authorities will re
mow the Bage ' brush along the route
from Wallula, and sprinkle the streets
well. ' All jokes aside, there are many
more benefits to accrue to points beyond
The Dalles, than to The Dalles proper,
by this long deferred improvement, and
right minded journalists should see that
it is for the benefit of the whole interior
that we of The Dalles are. so persistently
working for an open river.
Tacoma exchanges speak of a new rail
road company having been organized in
that city on the 4th inst., caHed the
Tacoma, Lake Tark and Columbia river
railway company, with a capital stock of
13,000,000. The Tacoma and Lake Park
railroad, 12 miles in length, has been
transferred to the new company and it
is said that the work of extending that
road to the Tilton river, 50 miles distant
from Tacoma, will .. commence next
month. The plan is -to finish the
road to The Dalles this summer and
here connect with the Union Pacific
system. The line, it is said, will be
about 150 miles in length. It will trav
erse Pierce, Lewis, Skamania and Klick
itat counties and cross the mountains by
Cowlitz pass. Just how the proposed
road will traverse Skamania county and
go through the Cowlitz pass we are not
told. If it traverses the one it surely
cannot go through the other, as any one
may see by consulting a map of Wash
ington, We shall be glad of anything
that will open up the country and reduce
the cost of transportation but we greatly
fear that it will be a long time before a
road is built over the above described
route.". '
voters of Kingsley, if not of the whole
county.
I noticed a letter in the Mountaineer
of April 2d, from Elingsley, signed
"Liberty," which is so devoid of truth
that it is ' remarkable that any man
should write it or have it printed. The
only men who tried to dictate to the
Kingsley people whom they should send
to the county convention were a few
Dufur politicians who had an ax to
grind and by means of a keg of bad 'beer
land a demijohn of worse whiskey and
big amount of wire pulling and standing
in with The Dalles boss whose collar
they wear they got their ax ground. ' It
will be well for them if the first week in
June does not knock the edge off it.
'Independent Voter
Vote of Thanks.
The Oregonian says. The Wasco Sun
sets up the most absurd complaint that
the division of Oregon into congressional
'districts is a gerrymander. Eastern Or
egon, it is complained, is attached to a
portion of Western Oregon. The expla
nation is simple. Eastern Oregon had
only one-half the population necessary
for one member of congress, and West-
ern Oregon had more than enough for
one. This was adjusted in the appor
tionment as fairly and conveniently as
it could be done. The counties of West
ern Oregon that are most easy of access
to Eastern Oregon and most united in
interest were joined to the eastern
counties. Representatives in congress
are based on population, not on ter
ritory. The Multnomah delegation acted
handsomely toward Eastern Oregon, at
the state convention in the matter of
nominating the congressional candidate
for the second district. Multnomah's
43 ballots were cast blank till the fourth
ballot when they went over almost sol
idly for Ellis who was then and from the
first far in the lead. It is refreshing . to
find an example of good faith, once in a
while among politicians.
Senator Hilton came near being - nom
inated for congressman. He got three
votes ! He was understood to be Simon's
candidate, as he was unquestionably
Moody's, who failing to get anything for
himself wanted the next best thing
a man he could use. It would be inter
esting to know just who cast the three
ballots for Hilton. The Wasco county
delegation, was instructed to support
Ellis. Did any of them go back on their
instructions?'
The Times-Mountainev of last evening
said. "Our special dispatches in an
other column were the only ones'' re
ceived in ' the city. The Times-Mountaineer,
always leads, never follpws." It
is very evident that the "most accom
plished disciple of Annanias in Eastern
Oregon" is still in business, at the old
stand.
The Springer free wool bill passed the
house yesterday by a vote of 194 to 90.
It is well the democrats had th encourage
of their convictions, .The producer of
raw material will now know of a surety
what to expect from a democratic congress..
Some time ago Frank Frazier of Uma
tilla county bought a number of mort
gages at a sheriff's tax sale. Frazier
paid his money for the mortgages and
the sheriff gave him a receipt that certi
fied to the facts of the sale and payment
of the money. In other words the
sheriff sold bim certain mortgages but
instead of delivering the goods on pay
ment of the money the sheriff simply
gave him a receipt. Now Frazier sues
the mortgagees. He wants the mortgages
foreclosed and the defendants bebarred
from all interest in them eave the right
of redemption. The case will most likely
go to the supreme court for final decis
ion and then it will be known if the
taxes can be collected on an Oregon
mortgage. We believe Frazier's only
remedy lies in suing the sheriff for the
recovery of the money he paid him for a
thing the sheriff sold and got paid for
but never delivered.

In a duly organized assembly of dele
gates to the Republican State convention

Dalles, Portland and Astoria Navigation
companys boats, for the gentlemanly and
courteous treatment received on our trip
to and from the Republican State con
vent ion, and we assure the traveling pub

At the democratic primary, held on
the 9th, in Dechutes precinct, W. L,
Ward, Joe Kelley and J. B. Havely
were elected delegates to the county con
vent ion. Joe Kelly was nominated for
constable, and J. B. Havely for justice
of the peace. Mr. Havely responded in
a nice little speech, in which he advo
cated an open river, and agreed, if
elected, to do all in his power to secure
an early completion ot the locks.

TRANSACT A GENERALBANKING BU8INESS
The people's party of Multnomah
county held a convention in Portland
on the 9th inst., at which a full county
ticket was nominated. The people's
party is remarkably like the older par
ties it seeks to reform. It never forgets
to make a stiff grab after the lucrative
offices. This taken by itself is all right,
but it throws a question of doubt on the
sincerity of the reformers when what
they call great and important principles
of reform are promulgated with a zeal
propoitionate to the amount' of wages
attached to the office sought after. The
popular heart cannot be fired on the
mere issue of helping a man into a fat
office. A calamity howler is a contempt
ible creature under any circumstances
but doubly so when his aim is to howl
himself into office. Great principles, of
political or moral reform lose their
force and converting power in the lips
of mercenary place-hunting advocates.
Kingsley Correspondence.
Kingsley, Or., April, 7, 1892.
Editor Chronicle : '
Not -seeing any Items from Kingsley
in the columns of your paper I thought
I would send a few items that might in
terest s6me of your readers. The farmers
are nearly done, seeding. There is a
larger acreage put in this year than ever
and with a good crop, and a fair price
for grain this fall, the farmers of Tygh
Ridge would be as independent aa any
class of farmers in Oregon. The politi
cal pot has been boiling very hard since
we held our primary, The republicans
of Kingsely, and I may say of Wasco
county, are disgusted with both factions
of the party in The Dalles. The sooner
the leaders of both factions emigrate to
Jerusalem or some other holy place, the
better for the republican party of Wasco
county.
If they would view' the. situation as
the writer does, they would on next
June . take the democratic 'ticket and
vote it from top to bottom. I know it
would be a hard dose to swallow, but I
believe after two or three attempts they
could down the thing, while at the same
time, I believe the ticket nominated by
the bosses would choke any candid re
publican so dead, that he could not catch
his breath till the morning of the' resu-'
rection. In expressing my views thus,
I think I express the sentiments of the
