'CO. THE D ALT.ES w&Zi&LY dSBONICLE, FEIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1892. The Weekly Ghroniele. OFFICIAL PAPER OF WASCO COUNTY. Entered at tho Postoffico at The Dalles, Oregon, as second-class matter. . SUBSCRIPTION KATES. BY HAIL (POSTAGE SCEPAID) IK ADVANCE. Wecklyjlfeat. 1 1 SO ' 6 month.: 0 75 " : 0 80 atty-,4 J-ear. 8 00 months 8 00 per " 0 50 Address all communication to " THE 'CHRON ICLE." The Dalles, Oregon. . "THE VOOS BAY fQB." . One reason which may uc mentioned in connectson with the advanced ideas concerning the Coos taay improvement is that the California delegation in con gress entertain opinions which favor the advancement of Pacific coast interests, Whtlier located in California -or not. HCeos bay holds similar relations to Cal ifornia; but ok a very limited scale, in comparison to -similar relations existing. but not realised, between the Columbia (river and the people of the state of "Washington. And it is that close com mercial relationship betw-ceu Coos bay nd California which gives the Califor nia delegation a friendly interest, such as should exist, with similar advanced ideas, on the part of the Washington delegation. Were this possible, the in telligent press of the Pacific Northwest would not now feel humiliated with the 'intimations that "a local job has been engineered at Coos bay." It should be stated that these intimations come -from a certain disgruntled faction in 'the state of Washington, which failed 'to secure "for a purely local job at Seat 'tle,'' an appropriation which would have endangered the completion of the -cascade locks, and so much toward an open Columbia .river. With nil the miles of the Columbia tributary to the people of 'Washington, it is fiir from creditable to her delegation in congress that they failed to emulate the friendly interest of the California delegation for Cooa bay ; and the attempt to even pre sume that local jobs are permissible in Washington city, after their defeat, is unbecoming in . the supporters of Mr. Senator Allen, or any other man. The rainmaking craze has about run ita coarse. In a little while it will be laid away on a shelf with the blue grass -craze, the Brown-Sequard elixir and the Keeley .cure. ' After five days of futile effort, representatives of the Goodland ;artificial rain company, of Kansas, -packed op their traps and left Hermota, South Dakota, without taking with them the $500 that was to reward a suc cessful demonstration. Within that period the conditions were exception ally favorable. The air was charged with moisture and electricity, and rain ' fell at various points in the surrounding -country, but none where it had been contracted for, and although the rain makers demanded -pay for the distant 8howers, the people of Hermota quite -effectively replied that they were not baying rain for other -communities. The state railroad commissioners have -written a letter toGovernor Pennoyer in .reply to his communication asking the board to prepare a maximum rate act, to -apply on all railroad lands in Oregon, to be submitted to tho legislature. In the -letter, the commissioners state that they tound the present rates just with the ex eeption of those with the Union and .Southern Pacific, the schedule of which the board revised. The revision is al ready in effect on the Union Pacific," and, in the matter of the Southern Pacific, the case is at present on appeal to' the . .supreme court of the state. The rates proposed and established by the com mission applied to the business of 1890, an average year, amounted to a net sav-' - 'jng to the people of the state of over 475,000. - SHORT ELECTION CANVASS. The short space of time 4ttttiveAng between the dissoluti; tbelai . par ialment, and Jae queen's speech opening tne ne s etily about fifty-seven -days ; raiEee the question whether it would be practioftl to shorten the election canvass in the United States in a national earn patgn? " - It is doubtfal if a limited canvass here would answer the same ends as the one in Great Britain. Here wehave a vastly more extended territory to plough polit ically, -occupied with -a far greater varieSv of interests, uopulated with a farlarzer number of nationalities and requiring a longer time to effect an ed ticational fusion before the decisive de livery of their final judgment at the polls. The esses are almost radically different, while likewise related through the similarity of the accepted canvassing methods in both countries. The limitation works so well, however, in England that it naturally suggests the ecrions inquiry whether its adoption by us in a certain degree might not be made to work much more good than it could -work harm. A political canvass extending over four months tnust be al lowed to claim more of a year for itself than it is fairly entitled to or really re quires for its freest exploitation. There is clearly too much margin for political operations that were better left unat tempted and for manipulations that tend to the corruption of the popular judg ment. At least one thing is certain, and that is that the sooner the people give in their verdict after the issues are made up and the nominees declared, the bet ter it is likely to be for them, as well as for the parties formulating the contest. Once having become possessors of the controlling facts in the case, the great body of voters gain little, if anything, by further inviting appeals to their prejudices and the inflamation of their passions. Congressional debate is to be held to have done as much to familiar ize the public mind with the merits of current political issues as could be ex pected from party platforms, reinforced by illuminated processions, bands of music, impassioned oratory and' multi tudinous hurrahs. Whv is not a month or six weeks as good as three or four times that period for conducting a canvass to a satisfac tory cloee? This is an age of newspa pers and' publications interminable, "Why not reform our present election method in at least this respect, even as it has at last been proposed to confine our national conventions themselves to strictly eldiberative ends? fwikhd has let the contract for Wilding her new.city . hair to Gould -& Gladden, of Omaha, for $361 ,370, to which to get the .actual, proposed cost about $100,000 will have to be added for extras. The stone to be "used in the building will be shipped all the way from Wyoming, whereat people Inter ested in quarries situated in territory tributary to Portland are . justly dis pleased. Portland expects the trade of her own state and get a portion of the trade of interior Washington, yet she must ship the stone for her magnificent new . city, building from Wyoming, while the b3me quarries remain unde veloped. Such, says the Ashland Tid ings, is the reward we get for paying our bills to the Portland merchants on the first of every month promptly. The residence in Paris 'of Baron Al phonse de Rothschild, formerly the pal ace of Prince Talleyrand, is "the finest private house in the gay capital, and is filled with a unique and costly collection of art treasures. Most of them are ex' hibited in such a manner that by the touching of a spring they disappear into iron safes concealed in the walls. Sim ilarly the valuable "pictures turn on a pivot and disappear from view. It is said that these extraor inary precau tions for safety were devised by the baron after the insurrection of the com mune in 1871. . " Some of our Big Cotemporaries 'scoff at the idia of compulsory, arbitration of labor disputes like that at Homestead: Bat surely if two powerful nations, like the United States and Great Britain, can arbitrate a quarrel as big as. that of the Alabama claims, or the Behring sea fisheries, it ought to be possible to force a settlement of quarrels between a few thousand mechanics and a score or two of their employers in the same way, It is possible, too, quite possible. The Big Cotemporary asks: "Where is the force to. compel arbitration to come from?" Public opinion ' is thi force that will do it ; and do it easily, when ever it is roused to make the effort in dead, earnest. The Carnegies, the PinkertonB and the strikers, all put to gether, are not strong enough to with stand Public Opinion. As soon as P, O. say 8 that there shall be arbitration there will be arbitration. A report from London yesterday states. that the Cobden Club devotes a great deal of its review to Lord Salisbury's-, . celebrated Hastings speech. The re port laments the effect Salisbury's lan guage niust have on the European coun tries having high 'protective tariffs, "and whieh were hanging out signals of distress''' at the very moment' Salisbury hoisted the protection flag." The report eays the speech will have a baneful ef fect on free trade in the" 'United States. " So would any similar sensible speech. The report of Commissioner Carter shows that Oregon has had 209,313 acres of land surveyed during the pres ent administration. Washington 166, 032; Idaho 683,049. There is still in Oregon 24,166,334 acres of vacant sur veyed lands, and 14,269,500 acres vacant unsurveyed lands. Washington and Idaho combined have but 9,602,138 acres of vacant surveyed lands. Writh ! sut-h'a'showing as this Oregon's moss- back (conservative ways ought to make her rich. She hasn't fooled away any of her acres on a boom, and now it is coming into a bona fide market at an advanced cash price. That's what made many a webfoot wealthy, why should it not work with the state? - ' Spokane is "testing a case to. see . whether .that city has given away all of its rights to, street .railway' combines. In the complaint the city alleges that ' - "daring the progress of a fire on Boone . avenue Nov.-11, 1891, while the fire de partment had a section of hose stretched across the street railway tracks, a car was Tun over the hose, ruining two sec tions." The plaintiff has t demanded payment for the hose, and as the de mands have been refused, the suit or - $ 20 damages is a matter of principle. Groups of respectable looking' men - imay occasionally be seen roaming over our mountain-, passes, says- the News, ' claiming to be prospectors.' In this age of progress they are' just as apt to be surveyors 'looking out a railroad site. - Treat thjem well, anyway, for in either case their aim is to advance the interests - $ur glorious county. Stock cattle are selling in Montana at $20 per head, while two-year-old beef cattle bring 430 per head. There is a vast difference between Montana and Oregon. The Grant County News shows that in that - valley stock cattle sell for $12 per head, and it takes a heavy four-year-old to bring unto his owner $28. In order to better this condition of things the NewB says : "Let us encour age a railroad ; the building of one in our county; would stiffen up prices in our products." The assessor's - roll shows that the total value of property in Clark county, Washington, amounts to more than $6,- f.f rrr a . . . . uuu.uou. a large part ot tnia increase over previous years is due to the recent planting of large orchards which have rendered valuable lands formerly of more account. There is just this about the labor question : When a man wishes to work and another .wishes not to work, all things should centralize on giving the work to the man who wants it, and all the force of the government should be used, if necessary, to protect him in his choice between idleness and labor. - ' Coming home again, is theold steamer Haesalo, which has been over to . Puget sound these' many years. That she is hot superannated is owing, perhaps to the fact that ehe was constructed out of Oregon timber, by Dalles mechanics, be fore so many tricks in trade were known as now. She will be used between As toria and Portland in the towing and freighting business.: On her arrival the S. G. Reed will go into- the yard for an overhauling. The Keed will be given a new ball and put in first-class shape for the fall service, making six river boats that the Union Pacific can operate. M. J. Cookerline of the-new Boyd Boiler Mills was in town today. u ing after the . receipt of bis new machinery, he Bays it will bo a com pletely arranged farmers mill, and is greatly pleased with the outlook ior the fall run.. The machinery is all of the latest, and first class in every particular and will be in running order in a short time. . Resolutions of Condolence.

HIGHEST CASH PRICE PAID FOR PRODUCE COK. WASHINGTON AND SECOND ST. THE DALLES, OREGO A couple of ranchers living near Reed ley, California, last night saw a man in a cart drawn by a brown horse at a point a mile east and north of Dinuba. Two men on horseback joined him. They were heavily armed. The man in the cart was very lame in the left leg. He was light coniplexioned, about five feet ten or six feet in height. He said: "My horse is near played out." The three men remained together near the railroad until after dark. The informants could not tell which way the three men went, They are thought to be the train robbers, All the Pittsburg attorneys engaged in prosecuting the Homestead riot oases have within a week received-ee'veraL let ters of a threatening character, but they have little, if any, fear of a threat com ing from a man who is afraid to sign bis name. In this connection" it may be said the other officials of the Carnegie company 'are still receiving letters threatening their lives. A Mountain Home Dispatch says there is great excitement over the dis covery of , fabulously . rich gold-bearing quarts ledges in Dixie district,' Idaho, twenty-two miles up the Rocky bar road. On one mine a shaft has been sunk fifty feet, and has a large vein exposed which gives an average of fifty-eight ounces of gold to the ton. Other and smaller veins give.much higher returns. The only social club of which Mr. Blaine is a member is the Kebo Valley club of Mount Desert, which recently elected the ex-secretary of state to hon orary membership. In discussing his election with some friends at Bar Har bor, Mr. Blaine said : "In all my twelve years of Washington life. I never joined a club or had any desire to do so1.
