THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1893 The Weekly Ghronicle. OFFICIAL VAI'EIl UK WASCO COUNTY. A FLEA FOR FA CL KREFT. Alderman Kreft must have been a lit tle worked up lact evening previous to the time he entered the council cham ber. Ilia voice and demeanor at the meeting was very hostile. The mayor held him in check as well an he could, but it took dome vigorous pounding on more than one occasion. Mr. Kreft's ire was aroused when the council (ailed to take any action on the Astoria com munication from the chamber of com merce, which really was an unfortunate oversight, as the lack of any action amounts to a virtual snub. The gentle man was again brought to his feet at an apparently flippant remark of the street commissioner, and the councilman be can to score him in an artistic manner when he was again brought to earth by the rapping of the gavel. Mr. Mad dron was unfortunate in his phraseol ogy, as the point he intended was not brought out by what he really said. After all, Mr. Kreft is easily excusable, lie has served the city faithfully and well for two years, and, in common with all councilmen, has received no salary and scant praise. He hs given the city's interests more attention than his own business. The city map has been his world's geography and the charter and ordinances his old and new testa ment. He knows every bit of defective idewalk in town and can locate every nail that sticks up. Name any corner in the city and he can tell just what shape the crosswalks are in, what is needed and just what it will cost to fix it. He knows all about every bad sew er, who has not complied with the law and why. He has never been accused of endeavoring to further his own ends at the city's expense, nor will he ever be. The only measure ever presented that could benefit him, an arc light at the corner of Ninth and Pentland, wag tabled on the grounds of economy. And who tabled it? Paul Kreft. Paul Kreft needs no plea and he is ex cusable fer an occasional cranky spell, unless during it somebody justifiably kills him. Then would the city have cause to deprecate him. the fools, but I am by no means infatu ated with Kanmw; have lived here over 30 years and wish to leave the state and go to the Pacific coast, but my family will not hear of it. This bit of land that we own they think is all there is of earth. They do not realize that In ten years from now it will not ralee 'cow ieas.' There is hut 30 acres of it now out of the lfiO that will raise a crop o anything. The Kansas farmer has ex hausted his land ; 'knows that there is unmethini? the matter, but does not know what the trouble is. Ho ia look ing for a Moses.' " MARKET REPORT.

Godspeed the republic of Norway. The Earl of Dunraven seems to be model landlord he is an Irish landlord, too. We learn this from an article in MeClure's Magazine for October. C Kinloch Cooke, who writes the article is a friend of Dunraven, and speaks by authority, says that his property is probably the only one in the south of Ireland on which no outrages have ever been committed. lielva Lockwood confesses to 63 years of experience in this wicked world. She was born in New York, taught school at 14 and was married at 18. Her youthful characteristics, according to her own ac knowledgement, included a fondness for walking on top of rail fenceb, a fear lessness for snakes and an inability to keep her face clean. A pattern-maker of Taconia named G. R. Cowles has devised a process by which he claims he can produce a cord of wood worth $2, 17,000 cubic feet of gas, thirteen sacks of charcoal and two gallons of tar, worth altogether (48. He claims the machine can be used for do mestic purposes by attaching it to a stove, and that sufficient gas can be ob tained during the cooking of three meals to last all day. WORDS, WORDS, WORDS. There is pending in the house a bill to reform the methods of public printing. I he bill nas already been debated one day, and it could be pushed ahead with out any trouble if it were not for the purpose of the democrats to take up the bill to aid fraudulent elections instead. The printing bill is a non-partisan measure agreed upon by joint com mittees of the house and senate after several months consideration of the sub ject. Mr. Richardson, chairman of the house committee that reported the bill, has assured the house that it would save 1200,000 a year in the cost of printing and binding. It has cost the people $3,074,9-39 to do the public printing in a year. Of this sum there was expended for congressional printing nearly $2,000, 000, the greater part of which, of course, goes in payment of the printing of the Congressional Record. There is no in tention on the part of congress to econo mize any in the printing of the Record, but it is safe to say that a large part of the sum which congress expends in a year for printing might be charged to unnecessary waste. The silver debate illustrates that fact. Up to this week 4,000,000 words have been printed in the Record in merely recording'.tlie debate alone. Senator Stewart has uttered at this cession 223,000 words on the silver ques tion. At least he has inserted that many in the Congressional Record. The three days' speech he delivered aggre gates 100,000 words. No man is able or bright enough to utter 223,000 words on the silver question to any advantage to the public. If 213,000 of those words were stricken out of existence the public would be a gainer. But the printing and binding of this vast aggregate of nothingness illustrates the great need of printing reform. There are nearly 1,000,000 copies of books and bulky documents printed by the government stored away in rooms because no one has the authority to dis tribute them, ilut, with all this need of urgent action, the democrats refuse to allow the bill to be brought up. A Boston paper prints the following letter received in that city from an edu cated.farmer of more than 30 years' resi dence in eastern Kansas, a gentleman of comparative wealth and a man often elected to public offices in his own county and state. What be writes was not intended for the public and is more significant for that reason. The letter bears Jdate of last week and says: "I bave nothing to write from here. It is the tame old story of dronght and cranks, both of which Kansas is noted for. It has become an old story not the old, old story but a new version, and a very bad one. An Indian 33 years old told me that Kansas was not a fit country for an intelligent white man to live in ; that it ought to be left to his people, or to be settled by all the fools from the older states. The latter fate befell it. Of course, I am one of The Cincinnati Enquirer says: "It is easy to fall down. It is often hard to get up. And you usually fall down much more rapidly than you get up. Therefore any one that expects that good times are to return to us in the twinkling of an eye is making fur him self a disappointment. The remvery while steady and reasonably rapid, u ill not be at the rate of an express train, or even as fast as the reiv.nl of Nancy Hanks. Not many people know what Mr. Reiil, of Maine, intended to do if he had failed to win the support of the majority in the fight over his rulings as speaker of the Fifty-first congress. He has confided to Mr. Robert P. Porter, who writes an article about Mr. Reid in MeClure's Magazine for October, that lie had made up his mind, in case of failure, to resign his speakership and his seat in congress. "For," says he, "if political life con sisted in helplessly sitting in the speak er's chair and teeing the majority with out the power of legislation, I had enough of it and was ready to step down now." Lord Dunraven is clearly within hi rights when he elects to give an English pronunciation to his yacht. Those hyp ercritical Americans who learnedly lecture him on the Scandinavian deriva tion of the word Valkyrie may an well desist. No rule of correct speech is better established or ought to be better understood than that when a foreign term becomes naturalized its pronuncia tion may properly be naturalized. We do not call St. Louis San Loo-ee or Paris Par-ee. A great many unfortunate Americans have suffered from the grip, but they are less to lie pitied than those who have been a fleeted, in a double sense, with la grippe. The most culti vated students of Dante in this country and England pronounce the name of his heroine In three syllables, not four. The crying need of the age is a dollar easy to get and hard to let go; a dollar that will pay four dollars' worth of debts and then come back by means of a string attachment ; a dollar that snuggles easily in the sock of John Smith, but withers like the manna of old in the safe of a railroad president ; a dollar that will buy some flour and meat while it buys much whisky and tobacco; a dollar above draw ing interest and yet will double itself while the owner sits in the shade and spits at a crack in the pavement; a dollar that will circulate without de preciation, will buy shoes for baby while it buys fun for a man in places where he can't take bis wife, a dollar which will surely repair the waste of sloth, appetite and bad judgment ; a dollar that comes to the lap of indolence like worms to the craw of a featherleaa robin ; a dollar that will remove the sentence pronounced upon Adam, reverse the order of nature and transform the nature of men. This, little children, is about the sort of a dol lar wanted, as we glean from perutnl of our able and esteemed contemporaries, and to provide such a dollar is the job before congress, says the Tulare Register. Uie Mexican Silver Stove Polish Fkioay, Oct. 0th.--Although there is a fairly steady businens In prourews in nearly all departments of the merchan dise trade, at the same time the i-tVects j of the late depression is still noticalile, and transactions are conservatively con ducted In consequence. Dealers are! cautiously fueling their way towards j nbolishing the credit system, and induc ing buyers to pay cash on purchases by "Cheap for cash." Flour, sugar, collee meat and lard have become cash arti cles, and our dealers are demanding spot cash on purchases. Prices remain steady in all lines of merchandise. In the provision line there is an upward tendency. In bacon quotations have advanced to 18 cts per lb for clear sides. Hams are a trifle lower. 1-ard is quotable at 10 cts. Coll'ees continue to command a steady price, with a strong disposition to turn dearer, owing to Ore Central and South American complications. Sugars, syrups and all other lines of groceries are unchanged in quotations. The produce market keeps well stocked. Prices have not changed ma terially, more than potatoes are slightly lower. ' Eggs are slightly dearer, with a limited supply insight. Twenty cents per dozen was paid yesterday for good fresh eggs. Poultry deliveries are light and the market is not very satisfactory to either sellers or shippers. Old fowls are in fair request at $2.25 to $3.23 per dozen and spring fowls from $2 to f.'.ftO. There is no inquiry for turkeys. Poultry dealers make no special offerings and speak of 9 cts per lb as the probable market. Ducks and geese are uncalled for, the only demand for the former being from the Chinamen, and are quoted at $3 to 3.30 per dozen. Fruit, such as apples, pears and grapes, are in large supply and prices are nominal. The export demand is fair for mountain cities. L. Butler has made arrangements to handle windfalls of apples and pears, and in this a mar ket is offered. The grain market is somewhat stag' nant, with a free delivery for storage, A limited quantity has changed hands at 45 to 5) cents per bushel. The mills being the principal buyer. On Portland there has been a brisk export business carried on during the past week. (Quota tions have dropped 2 to 2Si cents per cental owing as is said, to a inclination, in European markets, to buy sparingly. There are many conflicting crop bureau statements throughout the old world, that really, the markets are rendered sluggish and apparently lifeless, which reacts on our own, thereby keeping values on the ragged edge, so to speak, which are below the cost of production. Holders are feeling the condition and situation more or less, and show a dis position to let go of their product in many instances, which is believed to be a wise conclusion. The wool situation is unchanged, as is also the market quotations. Live stock for slaughter, is moving freely for export east and west. About 5,500 head of mutton sheep have been botightat $1.30 to $1.83 per hd, and over 8iK) head of beef cattle sold at prices ranging from I'.j to 2'4 cents per lb. gros was shipped from this point during the past week, which indicates a fair movemedt in the stock line.
