SL Butts WHAT THE FUTURE WILL BE. Wasco county is but throwing aside ts swaddling clothee. Although one of the oldest counties in the state, and one whose , jurisdiction formerly extended from the Cascade range far east, over the deserts of the plains almost to the Rocky mountains, yet its real develop ment is just beginning. In early days we depended on traffic to ponr its coffers of wealth into oar laps ; and so it did. When the long line of pack trains ceased wending their way from oar city, the days of the railroad boom came, and everything centered at The Dalles. 'When the shops, with their large pay -roll, left us, it seemed as though a 'crushing blow bad been struck ; but all "the time a development of the country 'was going Jon unconsciously ; so gent ly, in tact, as to be hardly noticed. The hills, which bad been stripped of their luxuriant buncbgrass by grazing stock, had been transferred into wheat fields ; along the creek bottoms orchards were being carefully planted and nurtured; stock farms bad been located in places -advantageous because of good ranges, -and altogether the transition from a wild frontier to a settled country, with a steady commercial development, was completed. But we are in oar infancy. The fish interests have probably reached their fall development. The stock raisers may not increase their stocks and herds in the same proportion as in the past, bat the wheat growing country has not nearly reached it9 capacity, while the fruit industry has yet its 'full life to live. Hood River is getting a world-wide fame for its apples and berries. The Dalles is shipping cherries, peaches ahd other fruits to markets,where these products -command the highest price. The or chards growing at present only show the possibility of the future. The hill land is now being urged as superior to the -creek bottom for large fruits, while soil that has been looked upon in the past as almost worthless is today held at a good value. The prospect is bright for this favored portion of Eastern Oregon. When the -eyes of the immigrant are turned to wards Oregon they will rest upon the place they have long been seeking. Let us make an effort to get a larger popula tion, for the more that come the better it will be for those that are already here, declare that there is no inconsistency in their resolutions, and remain as resolute as ever. Better do as did the man who was sued by his wife for a divorce; when the summons was served upon him be remarked: 'Bless her dear hear! She has always had everything she has asked for ; if she wants a di vorce, she shall have it." ' The Oregonian - is pleased because large damage suits are to be instituted against the Pacific Mail 6. S. Co. by the friends of those who perished, and sug gests that it few verdicts for adequate damages will have a tendency to protect passengers upon steamships. What "adequate" damages are we cannot con lecture. A law forbidding passenger vessels from carrying freight upon their docks and making the managing officers of the vessel criminally liable for send' ing to sea a passenger vessel improperly loaded, would possibly have prevented the terrible disaster and obviated tb great loss of life and consequent sorrow which cannot be compensated.- The punishment for violating the law should not be less severe than life imprison ment. The same law should punish in like manner a passenger vessel not thor oughly sea worthy and fully equipped with life-saving appliances. Verdicts of juries may punish the negligence, but they cannot restore life nor prevent repetition of the careless indifference i the managers ; they can reach the treaa ury of the owners, but the manager es capes all punishment other than loss of position, and too often that also. THE NICARAGUA. CANAL. THE ORCHESTRA EXCURSION. REPUBLICANISM IN THE DEMO . CRATIC ADMINISTRATION. When the democratic party under takes to run the United States govern ment it finds that much of republican ism, which it formerly denounced, is quite essential to the wise and effective administration of the government. If the Sooth goes over to populism, as "there now seems to be a strong probabil- :ity of its doing, even the federal election 'law would be found qnite a wise provi sion. The interference of the federal .government in controlling riots in the northern cities is no more offensive to the populists and socialists than was a like interference by a republican admin istration to . prevent violence . in the 'South a few years ago to the democratic party. Not only is there some good found in republicanism itself, but ex-republicans have been found of great assistance to Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Gresham was, no til his deteatin the republican national convention in 1888, a pronounced repub lican; " Mr. Jadson Harmon, the ap pointee to the office of attorney-general, to succeed Mr. Olney, was. until the Greely campaign, a prominent republi can. We are inclined to the opinion that Mr. Cleveland himself is almost persuaded. - THE WOMEN OF BOSTON. The Woman's Rescue League of Bos ton, like all women, except oar mothers, wives and sweethearts, are wholly in consistent. They resolve and resolve, and when they are fully resolved the results are diametrically opposed. First they resolve that eighty per cent of the wealth in all light manufacturing indus tries is created by women and therefore ihey are entitled to all the political and other privileges' of manly men wear pants, make stamp speeches, run cau cuses, vote and hold office. Next, for getting the attributes of- manly, men, whom they insist upon imitating, they resolve, that women mast not ride bicy--cles because it makes them mannish and tempts women to wear pants. But there is no use in discussing the subject with the dear creatures ; they will only The people in the pretty city of Wall Walla have not only plenty of enterprise bat also a faculty of doing anything they attempt in a thoroughly complete and satisfactory manner. Four years ago a party of soldiers completely captured the town and proceeded to shoot a gamb ler named Hunt, who had killed a soldier Three days after the soldier was shot Hunt was lynched without the formality and expense of atrial. 'Night before last, the dispatches say, a party of fifty citizens well disguised and organized. tarred and feathered young Fossati, who bad brought down upon himself the con demnation of the community for taking into himself for a wife a dusky maiden of the African race. . The couple have been compelled to leave town and Walla Walla has given another example of her ability to execute any task with neatness and dispatch. When a good road to Gilliam county is completed, and the people of that section given the benefits of a com pet itive market, the attention of our busi ness men might well be given to the trade from Klickitat county. The road up this side of the mountain that shuts off the fertile valley of the Klickitat could well be improved, and for every dollar spent more would return. Our neighbors across the river are glad to trade with The Dalles, but the induce ment s must be made even with those given by Grants. This latter station is much nearer to Goldendale than we are, but a very good road to The Dalles would counteract the longer distance. This, in addition to a better market, would make this city sure of the trade from a large and growing country. The taxpayers ot this county have cause to be thankful that the sessions of our circuit court are as short as they are. In former years, when there was a wild and reckless element in our midst, com posed of "bad" men, who are now either all killed or gone away, the term of court used to last much longer and the subse quent burden on the taxpayer more grievous. Because the calendar is not stretched to a great length dees not mean that business is ' not good or even that the lawyers do not have enough to do, but that people are learning to settle their disputes outside the courtroom and repair there when all other efforts fail. Busy men have not the time to enjoy the luxuries of a law suit when there is ny other way of settling their difficulties. The Bteamboat company has, not only in the past, been of inestimable benefit to Eastern Oregon, but is today the greatest power in the regulation of rates for Eastern Oregon. The wool rate on the railroad out of The Dalles this year is at a figure which never could have been obtained had it not been for the D. P. & A. N. Co. The Dalles has a com mercial importance which it never could have attained had not our patriotic citi zens delved into their pockets and made this enterprise possible. The prosperity of the boat company is the prosperity of The Dalles. California has taken an active interest in the building of the Nicaragua canal, and while Senator Dolph represented Oregon in the senate, our state had an able and enthusiastic supporter of this great work. Californians appreciate the importance of this canal because it will enable them to market the products of their orchiirds in the form of fresh fruits in the ereat cities of Europe, and the fiuit industries of the state will never be embarrassed by an over-stocked market. With the development of the aDDle Torchards of this state we shall need the same quick route to Europe, Bat right now the opening of this canal would make an incalculable difference to oar state ; ' transportation of wheat, flour ahd wool would be facilitated and the expense greatly reduced; as facili ties for transportation are increased the market is improved. ! ' ' ' ' ' Oregoniaus generally, we are afraid, do not begin to appreciate the benefits which will immediately result to this state by the opening of this canal. We certainly hope Senator Dolph's succes sor will take as deep an interest in this project as be did, and leave nothiDg un done to aid the building of this canal. ' Uoonlicht Trip Last Night The Boys Outdo Themselves In Giving; Their , Guests a, Good Time. ' When Captain Wand gave the signal to back the .Regulator away from tiie dock last evening, there started as merry a party of excursionists as ever left The Dalles. The upper deck was crowded with , pleasure-seekers, while on the wharf those who couldn't go gave the steamer and its precious load a parting cheer, and wished, them a happy night, The moon' had not yet risen, but the river ' was as quiet as a mill pond. The orchestra, stationed in the forward part of the boat, made sweet music while the steamer ; swung slowly - out into the stream and pointed her bow towards Hood River. O'Leary was called as a witness on be half of the plaintiff, "and so far has been the only one examined. An order of confirmation was given in the case of the Portland Guarantee Co, vs. Nicholas Marx. , Death of31rs. Boyer. The sad news reached The Dalles late Saturday that Mrs. Allia Boyer, who had been taken to Portland a few days previous, was dead. Mrs. Boyer had been ill since last January' and her friends had long known that death was inevitable. Everything that medical skill could do had been done and as a last resort she was taken to Portland in a vain hope that in some way the change might do her good. - . Mrs. Boyer had lived in The Dalles for the last five years and had endeared her- In the cabin and on the ' promenade self to a large circle of friends by her un- deck the excursionists soon arranged themselves. ' The young people gath ered into groups, and the customary old time songs, which long ago had earned a pension, were sung; but when every- assuming ways. She had been prom inent in musical and church circles and was a valued member of the Methodist church choir. The loss will be severely felt by many friends. , Mr. Boyer came body is in good humor it doesn't matter op from Portland Friday night and here REPORTED MASSACRE OF CHRIS TIANS AT CHENQ TU. A very startling report is cabled from London to the effect that the Chinese in Cheng Tu have1 slain all the American, English and French residents of that city. Usually such reports, when per taining to events at a great distance, are less shocking than when they relate to events near home. Upon this report, however, all Christendom will take arms against the Chinese government, and if it proves true, a severe penalty will be exacted ; but it will be none too severe. When in Christian and well-governed America we permitted a mob to murder Chinamen by the wholesale at Bock Springs, Wyoming, or -repeatedly in our own state Chinamen have been blown to pieces .by dynamiters, or shot down like dogs, the world, and even our own na tion, has been little concerned. This report simply illustrate how much more sensitive are the nerves of Christendom when Christians are murdered than are thoee of the followers of Confucius when their fellow countrymen are massacred. GUARD AGAINST FOREST FIRES. The interior department having re' ecinded its order excluding sheep from the Cascade Keaerve, sheepmen should see to it that uo forest flres arise from their use of the forest pastures. As we have before suggested, a forest fire will do more harm to the timber and under brush in one night than all the sheep in the country can do in a whole summer, Let us show our appreciation of the opening of the reservations by seeing to it that no fires devastate the forests. The attention of The Chronic lb has been called to the condition of some of our sidewalks, un becond street, lust west of the First National bank is an example of shittlessness which should bring a blush to whoever the duty of fix ing it belongs, we naven t read tne city charter closely enough to determine the proper functionary, but our city council could do far worse things than provide somebody with a twelve- pound maul and have the spikes, which protrude above the sidewalk, driven in their proper place. It would be a convenience to drunken men, wno are continually stumbling against them. It is reported that ' a mass meeting of working men; held in Omaha Sunday evening, denounced the supreme court for its recent decision in the Debs case. The meeting was addressed by "Gen eral" Kelley, of industrial keep-off-the- grass fame, and others. This explains how the meeting came to be designated aa a meeting of "working men." Work ing men are not concerning tnemseives much about what the courts do with the violators of the law ; the denouncers are the kind who followed Coxey and Kelley to Washington, and were there com pelled themselves to obey the law, and keep off the grass. 1 The Oregon Scout comes to our table this morning in a handsomely illustrat ed edition. 1 We are surprised and pleased at the beauty of the illustrations. which reflect much credit on the enter- much how eld the songs are, or how badly they are sung. The orchestra Btationed themselves in the dining cabin and gave a concert to an eager audience, As each piece was finished the listeners wanted another one, which the musi cians good natnredly gave. Down past Crate's . Point into the channel between the high mountains this side of Lyle the steamer passed. Soon the Klickitat river was left behind, and the little village of Mosier was pointed out in the distance. The moon was beginning to rise, and the river and its banks were lit up, so that the places along the shore were clearly seen. The prettiest part of the trip was just as the boat reached White Salmon, and the mountains for a time lost their rugged character, and a break in the hills on both sides the river showed the outlets of fertile valleys, whose products famed the world over. The water was at such a height that the Regulator steamed into Hood River and landed close to the railroad depot.' The water is getting at a stage when this cannot be done much longer, and when it ceases a great convenience to the people of the town will be missed, The usual portion of the population were assembled on the shore to greet the excursionists and watch the unusual spectacle of a steamboat landing there at that hour of the night. As soon as the gang plank was out the crowd hastened lo the armory, where the dance was to be given. ' The streets of Hood River were quiet enough before the crowd came, bat the merry shouts of the Dallesites and beat of drums soon broke all to pieces any previous stillness. The armory is a large, commodious building and made the finest kind of a place for dancing. ' The floor had been placed in good condition and was soon occupied by the dancers. For nearly two boors the dancing kept up and though the night was warm there were very few who sat out the dances. Not many people from Hood River were present, for which wa are sorry, as tbey missed the chance of hearing the best music, any town in Eastern Oregon can give. Those from the town wh were there praised the boys very highly. ' A few minutes before 11 o'clock the whistle of the Regulator warned the people that The Dalles was their home and the time for returning bad come and so the last waltz was played and that part of the entertain ment closed When the boat passed out of Hood River the moon had risen in full glory and the water reflected its golden path. The night was clear and ' not a rippl upon the river's placid surface. The ex cursionists had been rather quiet on the down trip, but now the fun began. The band quickly responded to a request for music and all the favorites were played Oat on the deck were gathered most of the passengers, as there was no wind to drive them inside. ; An impromptu Salvation Army band, gotten np on short notice, played the airs made so familiar to the people of The Dalles dar ing the past year. It was close to 11 o'clock when the Regulator left Hood River and at five minutes past one the lines were made fast to the dock at The Dalles and this pleasant excursion was over. : . Without any undue praise it can truth received the news of his wife's death The funeral was held in Portland this afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Also there is to be a saddle put np to be ridden for 'by chance. For those who come , in the day and want to stay at night there will be ra dance given in the Roberts and Woodcock halll. The Wasco warehouse is more crowded today than ever. This morning, at one time, twenty wagons were waiting - in line to discharge their loads.-' Three hundred sacks have been received today. The baler is kept hard at work all the time, but cannot keep op with the work that is ready for it. : A lot of 150,000 was sold Saturday at a price materially higher than a year ago..

The 29th anniversary of Memorial day has now passed intoo history. Every soldier's gravo in our vicinity has been isited and marked by the flag he loved so feeil, and bowers and evergreens scattered over his last resting place. Therefore be it Hetoued, mat we tender our sincere thanks to The Dalles Orchestral Union for their sweet music; to Company G and Company A, state militia, for acting as our escort ; to the choir for their ex cellent singing; to C.
