COMP. MATTHEWS ; IX THE FIELD
Prepared to Enter the Campaign About
- the First of October.
WHAT HE SATS OF THK GERMANS
Xky Are a Unit for a Liberal Protect
Ire Tariff and Sound Money
" Minor Topic.
Chicago, Sept. 5. A. C. Matthews,
comptroller of the treasury is preparing
to enter the campaign in Illinois about
October and will devote a month to
. - speech-making in the state. Comp
troller Matthews was favorably men-
- tioned by Washington Hesing, editor of
the Staats Zeitung of Chicago, daring a
visit to Washington last spring as a
' candidate of the Germans of Illinois for
.governor. Mr. Hesing said at that time
that Comptroller Matthews would be
very strong with the German voters and
he thought that bis nomination would
be a wise stroke for. the republicans.
Inasmuch as Mr. Hesing has been
largely instrumental in securing the
location of democratic 6ub-committee
headquarters at Chicago for the avowed
purpose of making the state of Illinois
democratic, Comptroller Matthews was
today asked what effect he thought
' this would have on the German vote of
Illinois. "I regard Illinois as safe for
20,000 majority' he replied. '.'I don
think the republican party will lose any
votes from a disaffection of the German
voters. My knowledge of the German
voters of Illinois leads me to behev
they are generally a thrifty class who
are a unit for a liberal protective tariff
and sound money. On these issues
think naturally they will see the wisdom
of voting the republican ticket. I be'
lieve local issues will not enter into tie
campaign and the tariff will be the lead
ing issue in Illinois. I think it will be
made the issue by common consent of
-both parties. I believe the Germans
are in favor of the McKinley law, which
gives incidental protection to American
industries and opens- up a field for
skilled labor, a good portion of which is
contributed from the German popu
-Istion.-- r
Common Council.
I'eachen With a History.
Thoso peaches in The Chronicle win
dow today are of the Simpson yellow
clingstone variety. . Four of them weigh
ed two pounds. They have a history
dating back to 1842, when the father of
J. M. and R. Simpson took the seed from
Georgia to Tennessee. In . 1840 seeds
were taken to Missouri from Tennessee
by J. M. and R. Simpson, and in 1845
they brought the seeds of the same fruit
from. Missouri and planted them in Polk
county, Oregon. In 1866 W. J; Simpson
brought the seed to Wasco county, and
today.-we'are presented with samples of
tho.fruit which is all the more remark'
able for its being seedling all along the
line, and so certainly traced as not to be
mistaken'. ;Tbey .were raised by Mr. J,
H. Covihglouy.'xmd as Mrs. Covington is
the grand-daughter, the niece, and
daughter, of those prominent in the pro-
duction and reproduction of this fruit
for eighty years past, and it has been
like-household -words in .the family,
threcan be no mistake about its history.
" It wquld.be interesting to know whether,
in any other locality, it has attained any
greater perfection. than , it has
here. ..The . fruit is solid, highly
flavored, rich in color and as "juicy as a
peach" can well be. The tree from
which these samples came grew in the
sands that.line the Columbia, just above
The Dalles, but have been liberally ir
rigated. It is a subject worthy of the
attention of fruit producers.
Stands at the Head.
Dr. Gedree -A. Bethunc, state chemist
of the state of Washington, has exam
ined the various baking powders of the
market, and speaks emphatically as to
which he considers the best. He says :
A aeries of carefully made tests of the
baking powders sold ' in this market
shows that the Royal yields the largest
percentage of leavening gas. This pow
der is also found perfectly free from any
harmful or even objectionable ingredi
ent; its constituents are of exceptional
purity, so combined , that the powder
produces the purest and most whole
some food. V.
There is, therefore, no question but
the Royal is the strongest, purest, and
most wholesome baking powder in the
market. , Geo. A. Bbthune,
State Chemist and Assayer.

In this city, Sept. 4th, to the wife of
-H. Herbring, a daughter.
". One fact .looms up very prominently
reflecting the. advantages to. the country
from, the work done on Tygh hill' this
year,' and that, is this -.-Heretofore, at
threshing time,, farmers :W6uld 'rather
not thresh their wheat in the Wamic
region, than to pay cash for it. They
said to threshers take your pay in grain
.or we don't thresh; This year it is di
rectly the opposite of this. -. And further
more, to haul from that region to The
Dalles was practically out of the aues
tion. Now the roundabout twenty-one
mnes via. enerera graae is: aispensea
with and the country from which The
Dalles never got a load of wheat before,
there will this year come 15,000 bushels !
Campbell Bros, arrived in last night
with two loads of 5,250 lbs. each. .They
say they never stopped once on account
of the grade, and will add 1,500 lbs. to
each load hereafter, coming in- easily
with 6,750 lbs. to a load. .
- There is the proof of the pudding.
Good wagon roads- are as necessary to
the life of a community as bread and
butter is to a healthy child. .
The .Tygh road is exactly three miles
and forty rods long; we have plainly
established the fact that it is the best
investment for the people, and for The
Dalles, that coo Id have been made ; and
the only wonder is, that it has been so
long neglected. .
. Ask Enfield Ferris, or any other man
who has passed over it, and Tnic CnBosi-
cle statements will be more than sus
tained.
There is a balance -due on the work.
which should be promptly paid to
Superintendent T. J. Driver.
A Heal Estate Transaction.
Susau F. Dibble, of Portland, has
received a patent for 160 acres of the
public -domain near Hood River, upon
which appears the spencerian hand of
Benjamin Harrison affixed by M. Mc-
Kean, secretary, and the big red eagle
seal. But Susan sold the land to C. W,
Pellett, for $100, and both patent and
deed were filed for record this morning
in the county clerk's office. .
