That the present industrial order may
meet with sweeping changes in the fut
ure may be granted, says the Eeview
But no indnstial change will put brains
in the head of a fool or prudence in the
conduct of a spendthrift. Poverty is
not to be abolished by act ot congress,
but by individual exertion, and not al
ways then. Its abolishment is an irrl
descent dream. So long as there are in
equalities among men, and there always
will be, just so long will there be differ
ences in their conditions. Where one
man is frugal and another prodigal, one
' man thrifty and another idle, one man
wise and another simple, one man sav
Ing and another wasteful one man' sober
and another viscious, there must be
differences of reward proportioned to
their industry and economy. No legis
lative legardumain can alter these facts,
no readjustment of the social structure,
no cunning jugglery of the reformer,
will circumvent this, the degree of
nature.
THE V. P. AT ASTORIA.
STOPPED THE SHIPMENT.
, The business people of Astoria do. not
take very much stock in the rumors of
benefits likely to be conferred upon them
by the Union Pacific company. In a re
cent interview, Mr. Thomas . Eyrie,
manager of the C. H. Cooper Mercan
tile house, said : "The movement for
opposition is heartily indorsed by this
firm. In fact we have always placed the
stamp of our disapproval on the treat
ment received by local merchants at the
hands of the Union Pacific company,
and in consequence during the past
eighteen months all our eastern freight
has come ove,r the Northern Pacific and
by the Telephone from Kalama. The
smallest package we can get by the
Union Pacific from San Francisco costs
$1 while the rate per 100 pounds is 75
cents. ' If un independent company is
organized, or if arrangements are made
with any other company to bring freight
here, we will support it to the extent of
our patronage in that line. Air. A.
Reed, of the firm of Griffin & Heed, was
emphatic in his views, and was willing
to pledge himself to do all in Ins power
to further the interests of the company
that bad the interests of the business
men at heart. A number of other mer
chants were spoken to on the subject,
and all seem unanimous in the opinion
that the business men and citizens gen
erally should unite for the city'e good
and at ' once and forever do away with
the power of the monopolies that have
worked the citv such persistent injury
for so many years past. -
It is mere folly for labor organizations
to talk about boycotting Carnegie steel.
Such a thing is 'too absurd to think
about. To boycott tbe steel would
necessitate boycotting nearly every
dealer in hardware or implements and
every user of machinery in tho United
States. Tho men would be much better
if they had displayed the wisdom of the
workmen in a similar establishment in
Illinois, who were doing the same kind
of work and receiving the same pay,
They say: "We like to see our employer
make money. It is to our interest for
him to do so. We are better paid than
men in similar positions in any other
part of the world ; our families are well
cared for. No, sir; we have no disposi
tion to strike, but prefer to leave well
enough alone." These men know when
they are well off.
There is a decided dullness in the
wheat market on this coast, and the
general opinion among the" dealers is
that the price will be very low for some
little time, or until reports can be ob
tained from other counties. None
of the dealers seem to be anxious to buy
although the market in the east and in
England seems to be firm at the prices
quoted. In the valley about sixty-five
to sixty-eight cents on board the cars in
Eugene is all the dealers seem justified
in giving. It is hoped tbe market will
be better later in tho season.
Concerning the report that President
Hill of the Great Northern was about to
come into possession of the O. It. & N.
properties, a Chicago special says : . The
Great Northern is practically complete
to Spokane, where it connects with the
Oregon Railway and Navigation com
pany, 1U. P. E. lessee). It would cost
less than half as much to secure it as to
build a new line to the coast. Besides a
new line would not in ten years have the
local traffic of the existing line. With a
transfer of ownership would go the
steamship lines plying to all coast 'and
river points between San Francisco and
Eritish Columbia. It would also put the
Union Pacific and Northern Pacific at
tho mercy of the Great Northern as re
gards trackage ' rights and rate making
to the coast. President Hill will in any
event will add largely to his steamship
lines between Buffalo and Duluth, run
ning them on a schedule with his rail
lines to beat any possible rail time by 12
hours between .buffalo and Portland.
Some Ponple Xsver - Leara Anything.
''. Iiotobly a Soulless Monopoly. -
As a matter of fact, tbe steamer Reg
ulator is appreciated here in The Dalles,
better than in some other portions of
tbe Inland Empire. Tbe man of busi
ness would be considered too eIow for
anything, here ; not to realize the dif
ference between prices now, and prices
before the Eegulator- started.' Every
dealer tributary, and ' every - farmer,
ehould realize these facts equally as
well. There aro some, this year in The
Dalles, who have become converted to a
realizing sense'of tho situation persons
who' have ' involuntarily surrendered,
heretofore persons whom the railway
company have presumed that they
owned, body and soul ; because, as shippers-,
they never questioned the methods
as others questioned them.r The policy
of punishing shippers-who may have
broken away 'from the old regime, by
sidetracking cars destined to them from
the N. P. E., or by holding back unjust
advances; or bona fide rebates, for from
six to twelve or eighteen months, did
its work effectually. There tire men in
business in The DalleB who would ship
perishable goods around Cape Horn if
necessary, rather than let the U. P. E.
Co., have one. pound of their freight.
J. H. Shearer wonld let hts wool rot in
.the warehouses before ho wonld give the
U. P. E. Co., a pound of it to ship.
They lost by him alone this year, a cool
fifteen thousand dollars. He is sending his
wool direct to Boston by the ull wilier
route this year. But all this does not
appear to have taught the management
of tho U. V. R. anything. They are
this week duplicating the very same ac
tion that drove Mr. Shearer from tlicin,
and the party to this transaction is a
suipper wuosc patronage; is equally ; as
valuable to a transportation company as
that of Mr. Shearer. This gentleman
started in to ship by the Eegulator, this
week, goods to be delivered in ' Portland
to the Merchants Steamship Co., for the
Canadian Pacific at Vancouver, B. C.
The first lot left all right, then the U. P.
E. Co. hatched np charges, and specifi
cations, and issued writs, and served pa
pers, and played thunder in general.
They have stopped this shippers ship
ments this year, probably, as he would
have it; ut how about the next; and
the next?
The Eegulator has fixed the ratt-i, and
it is the duty of the public to stay by
the Eegulator. "

W. A. IiANQILLE, Manager:
General Weaver thinks the republican
party is dead. There aro no degrees of
deadness, since one object can not be
deader than another, but there are de
grees of liveliness, says the Review, and
this professional candidate will find the
republican corpse about the liveliest
that be ever ran afoul of. In fact it will
very complacently attend the funeral of
the third party just ns it has those of a
dozen other third parties in its day and
generation.
On Saturday last at just five minutes
of 7 a. m., the first through train of the
Great Northern completed its journey at
St. Faul from Spokane. Although this
train pulls out of the Union depot at
Spokane an hour and a half later than
the Northern Pacific express, it lands
its passengers in St. Paul five hours in
advance of its southern rival, making a
cut of nearly seven hours on their time,
The train made schedule time all thi
way through, and the passengers ex
pressed the satisfaction with the service,
magnificent scenery and smoothness of
the track. The Chicago passengers, es
pecially, were gratified to learn that
they had reached St. Paul in ample
time to catch the day trains for their
destination, thus avoiding a day's stop
over. "
Some of the papers in eastern Wash
ington are publishing records of big
wheat yields for the season. A farm in
Whitmafi county heads the list with a
.return of eighty-two bushels and eleven
pounds of red chaff wheat to the acre.
A farmer in the same county threshed
seventy acres of wheat and got from it
4,000 bushels, while eight acres of oats
on the same farm gave ninety-two
bushels to the acre.
The situation at Buffalo remains un
changed, but other organizations, in
close accord, are liable to take a hand in
the fight, and bring about further com
plications. A Detroit dispatch yester
day states that an attempt was made by
the Michigan Central to send switch
men to Buffalo to take the places of
strikers, but the conductor refused to
take the train out with the men on
board, so the men were taken to a hotel.
Any further attempt would doubtless
have resulted in a strike at Detroit.
The men will be sent by way of the
Grand Trunk.

Grants, one of the Dalies young and
thrifty neighbors on the east, has. set

jollity, and reunion. . The Dalles 'and
Goldendale picked nines will meet on

dale, and J. B. Hosford. esq., of Moro.
Various amusements will intersperse the
afternoon programme, including a grand
musical festival by- members of the Gol
dendale and Dalles brass bands. The
invitation, which is public, says : "The
citizens of Grant extend an invitation to
the ladies and. gentlemen of Wasco,
Sherman and Klickitat counties to their
grand barbecue and ball on the above
date. This entertainment, given by tbe
citizens of Grant, will be one of the most
enjoyable events ever held in the county
No expense will be spared to make
everybody happy. Come one, come all.
Bring your wives and little ones and
your best girl. You are all welcome.
Reduced rates will be given by the
Union Pacific to Grant for the festival.
Don't forget it Friday, August 26, 1892.

The controversy between the Great
Northern officials and the owners of the
property on which the railroad company
intended to erect their shops, and other
buildings in Spokane, necessary to. the
repair of cars, engines, ect., U at an end.
Work on the new buildings will be com
menced as soon as the plans, which are
now oeing examined at et. l'aul, are
approved.
A specimen . weighing seventy-five
pounds now ou exhibition at the
Redding bank, covered with gold visible
to the naked eye, is causing great ex
citement ifniong mining men in Shasta
county. It was taken from tho bottom
of en 80-feet shaft in an old Tellurium
claim, worked many years ago.
. At Pullman the wheat market opened
at fifty-four and fifty-seven cents, the
latter price being offered for sacked
wheat. Farmers generally hope for bet
ter prices soon.
The prohibitionists have placed a
ticket in the field in Walla Walla coun
ty. There will bo four tickets in that
county this veav.
The Telegram has information that the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, is fast
reaching out for a Pacific coast termi
nus. This road is perhaps tbe most
aggressive in the western association.
Its business last year showed a prosper
ous growth, and recently it borrowed
$12,000,000, to bo used iu extensions
and betterments. Inside of the next
year the Wyoming extension will be
pushed as far as Helena, and will be
only a short .time when surveyors and
engineers will bescatteredalong theline
between Helena and Portland.
FOOD AND DAIRY COMMISSION.
Two Essentials for
That Will Make
a Baking fonder
Perfect Bread.
The EiUs clam bake at Clatsop today
will be attended by at least 5,000 people.
What a great rollicking crowd that will
be. What an opportunity to see
humanity at its best. It is a well known
fact that few people on earth know how
to make life moro enjoyable than do the
B. P. O. E. boys and it is a settled fact
that whoever attends these festivities
have a good time. The local branch of
the order in Astoria are the prime mov
ers in the affair.
A ranch near Cayuse station yielded
fifteen, thousand Eacks of wheat' and
averaging about twenty bushels to the
acre. The grain in that section is said
to be of fine quality. "
With yesterdays issue of the Wasco
News Mr. J. M. Cummins stepped down
and out. In turning the News over to
Mr. Frank M. Bixby, his successor, he
says: "I will watch with gratification
every step of progress made by the pa-,
per upon which I have labored tbe past
year, and will always hail with genuine
delight tho success and prosperity of the
hospitable people among whom I have
lived for that time.". ' I
The late report of the Minnesota State
Food and Dairy Commission contains
the result of a series of experiments
made by Prof. C. W. Drew, state chem
ist, to determine the strength and keep
ing qualities of the various baking pow
ders.. :
The report attaches great importance
to these experiments. Baking, powders
that vary in strength, or that readily
lose strength before use, are unreliable
and will not give even results; besides,
it is an indication of the use of improper
ingredients in their compounding. Tho
tests showed the strength or leavening
power of tho Royal very much greater
than that of theothers. The uniformity
of strength of all the samples of Royal
tested, no matter what their age, was
very remarkable. Its leavening power
was practically unimpaired even, in the
oldest specimens. The difference in the
.amount of leavening gas in different
samples of the other brands was so great
as to seriously impair their usefulness
in baking. As much as 24 per cent, loss
was found in samples a few months ago.
All the samples of Royal examined by
State Chemist Drew were reported of
satisfactory strength and quality.
Dr. Drew states that the "Royal" be
ing of greater strength than any other,
and possessing better keeping qualities,
it is the natural conclusion that it is the
best baking powder made. . - - - . . .
