HEROISM IN THE ENGINE CAB.
. Another case of heroism in an engine
cab is told in today's dispatches. . Tbe
passenger train on the Great Northern
ran into a landslide at Richmond Beach,
near Seattle, last night, and as a result
Neal McKinley, the engineer, lies dead.
When the danger came into view he
reversed the lever, and with his band
upon the throttle, faced approaching
death. Oftentimes men risk their lives
when there is no need, and tears are
shed over a mangled corpse which death
overtook through the victim's mistaken
sense of duty. But in tbe instant that
intervenes for judgment to decide there
is little time for v weighing results and
the brave man errs on the side of duty.
This engineer thought the liveB of those
entrusted to bis care could be better
served by' bis remaining in the engine,
and so he did, and the world applauds
bis act.
The average traveler little thinks of
tbe man in the engine cab, and yet in
nearly' every case the man is a hero.
The cases where be proves faithless to
bis duty are rare indeed, while nearly
' every day there comes the same story of
ibe man who died with bis hand upon
the throttle, thinking only of tbe sleep
ing passengers behind him. No class of
men is more deserving of praise than
railroad engineers. Quick minded,
strong nerved, cool beaded, sober and
faitbfnl, they face death in ugly forms
and never flinch. When the book of
heroes is made ap the name of the rail
road engineer will be high in the roll,
and tbe numerous instances of unselfish
sacrifice will stand in clear light.
We can well afford to honor the brave
engineer, and shed a tear of sorrow with
his mourning comrades when he falls
under the cruel weight of the engine,
dying as only a hero dies. ,
The Oregonian is sometimes as un
reasonable in discussing the affairs of
other states as it often is in matters
nearer-home.' Its comments, upon tbe
controversy between Gov. Woodbury of
Vermont Bud the Eutland Herald is un
fair in the extreme. The controversy
arose, not out of the evils or benefits re
sulting from the prohibition law of Ver
mont, but entirely but of the tact that
tbe Rutland Herald has accueed Gov,
Woodbury of a crime, and the governor
has seen fit to have the accnsation in
vestigated by the courts, and therefore
has eued the Herald, for libel. That is
the whole matter. There is no scandal
about it, any more than there is a scan
dal connected with the enforcement of
the excise law in New York. In tbe
latter case those who are enforcing the
law do not favor it, but, being sworn to
do their duty, and their dnty being to
enforce tbe law, are attempting to do it.
Probably tbe greatest array of legal
talent ever employed on a single case is
that now appearing at Seattle in the
case of the Northern Pacific receivers.
The case is one of great importance, and
that fact is reflected by tbe prominence
of tbe men who appear for the different
parties in the sait. The number of ex-
United States senators which appear is
striking. The counsel includes Senator
John H. Mitchell of Oregon, ex-Senator
John B. Allen of Washington, ex-Sena
tor John C. Spooner of Wisconsin, ex-
Senator J. N. Dolph of Oregon, and ex
Senator Wm. F. Saunders of Montana,
AH these gentlemen have achieved
national reputations in political life,
and stand in the front rank of able
lawyers. There could be many remin-

OUR FRUIT SHIPMENTS.
A steady stream of fruit is flowing
from Wasco county, both east and west.
A part of this product will not be con
sumed until it will have gone a quarter
way around the world. In other words,
we have now a market as great as any
country in the world; and the only
questions which remain to be solved are
"How can tbe fruit be packed so as to
keep?" and "How can it be shipped so
as to leave to the producer a fair com
pen sat ion?" These questions will solve
themselves as the products increase. "
Not until last year were shipments of
Pacific coast fresh -fruits made to the
old world. The channel is opened, and
the stream should never diminish.

COUNTY. ASSESSMENTS.
The Portland press comments upon
the conscientious work which is now be
ing done by the assessor of Multnomah
county and his assistants. That careful
and conscientious work is being done by
' a county assessor ought not to excite
comment; but in view of tbe customary
manner of doing the work, it is a very
remarkable fact that efficiency shonld
be exercised in an office which is, per
haps, the most important in the county,
"That the work has never been carefully
-done in this county is evidenced by the
"inaccuracies found on tbe assessment
-rolls and tbe large amount of untaxed
-property brought to light by tbe prepa
ration of present ownership books be
- gun this year. There has been added to
rthe taxable real property something like
-$160,000. The discovery of this untaxed
realty ought to, and will, if the work
upon the next assessment roll is done
with the' care it should be, discover
much - personal property not heretofore
taxed.
The county of Wasco has run behind
during tbe last fourteen or fifteen years
nearly, if not quite, $100,000, an average
annual deficit of about $6,600. We ven
ture to spy this debt would not exist had
the assessments been carefully made
and the taxes collected as thoroughly as
they conld have been. In tbe econom
ical administration of the county much
depends upon all tbe county officers;
but more depends upon the assessor
than all the others. Yet when the
assessor of the richest county in the
state goes at his work as tbe law con
templates and it is done conscientiously.
it excites comment. .
A gentleman from tbe East recently
visited The Dalles for the purpose of ob
taining information concerning our re
sources and the desirability of this local
lty for the investment of capital, com
mented upon tbe apparent lack of unity
among tbe business men of our city
His inquiry why, if we bad such advan
tages for the woolen and clothing indus
tries, no capitalists bad ever examined
into tbe subject before, could not easily
be answered ; we were forced to concede
that whenever the matter was discussed
there seemed to be. a lack of harmony
among capitalists, which was not en
couraging to outsiders. A live and en
thusiastic commercial organization would
go a long way toward uniting the people
of this city in the development of our
resources.
Here again is an extensive market, and
the Oregonian of ten years hence will
witness an industry in the way of fruit
in Oregon that few of us now dream of.
Bear in mind that thus far Wasco
county holds ' the palm. We can con
tinue to bold it, if we will.
THE REAL ISSUE.
The law regulating the catching and
handling of salmon should be enforced
or repealed. That the present law is
inequitable and gives every advantage
to the fishermen and cannerymen at tbe
mouth of the river, there is no question.
Just at tbe time when tbe stage of water
permits of tbe taking of fish here, as a
usual thing tbe close season commences ;
and at the same time successful fishing
at Astoria is at an end. But we have
the law, and Tub Chronicle believes
that until it is repealed it should be
strictly enforced. If it is enforced as
against transportation companies, there
will be little temptation to fishermen to
violate it.
The president of New York's police
commission says: "ibe question at
issue in New York City just at present
is much more important than the ques
tion of a more or less liberal Sunday ex
cise law. - The question is as to whether
public officials are to be true to their
oaths of office, and see that the law is
administered in good faith." This is
tbe important question in any govern
ment. Whenever the enforcement of
law is left to the choice of polica or
other officials, whose duty is to enforce
it, the legislature is a useless piece of
machinery. Better elect men to govern
as they may see fit, and do away with
legislatures entirely.
There should be no such thing as a
dead letter law. When accuracy and
efficiency shall have been attained by all
executive officers, there will be a great
diminution in senseless legislation; and
until then legislators will continue to
vote for worthless laws just to accommo
date somebody.
The first appearance in European
gardens of the rhubarb, a now well'
known plant, was in 1530, when one
Andreas Boorde thus describes it: "I
have sent to yor mastashipp," he quaint
ly says, "the seedes of reuberbe, the
which came owt off Barbary's. In these
parts the seedes be sowne in March,
thyn (thin), and when thev be rooted
they must be taken upp and sett every
one on them a foote or more from an
other, and well watered." These in
structions were apparently not followed,
or some other mishap befell the rhubarb,
for the plant was not known in Europe
till two hundred years later.
PROSPECTIVE PRICE OF WHEAT.
. The London Statist, a publication of
repute, and upon whose estimates reli
ance can be placed, gives the probable
wheat production of the world as follows
. America, 425,000,000, as against 510,000,
, 000-bushels last year; Russia, 360,000,-
000 bushels, against 420,000,000 buBhels
last year;. Austria-Hungary, slightly
less than last year, and Roumania and
Bulgaria rather more; France less by
40,000,000 bushels than last year; Ger
many about the same, and India 18,500,'
000 bushels less.
If these estimates prove accurate,
there is every reason to believe that he
price of. wheat will, before the season
closes, go up by a considerable margin.
Chicago wheat speculators are doing all
in their power to keep down the price.
While they can no douot influence the
markel to an appreciable extent, they
cannot control it, and the laws of supply
and demand will finally control.
As a rule we do" not believe in the
practice of many farmers of holding un-
sso criminal is more dangerous to a
community than one wbo will commit
arson. A highway robber baa many ad
mirable qualities as compared to a man
wbo, at an hour when a community is
most sure to be asleep, sets fire to any
building ; and the man wbo wonld fire a
building in which helpless animals are
kept, is despicable beyond expression.
We hope, for tbe good name of the com
munity, that it will yet be made to ap
pear tnat Saturday morning's fire was
not the work of incendiary origin.
The directors of the Walla Walla pen
itentiary have announced that in all
probability the jute mill in connection
with tbat institution will have to close
down. VThe extensive importation of
grain Backs from Calcutta, and the sharp
competition between local sellers -have
brought the price down to a figure lower
than the state can meet. For this rea
son the jute industry at the penitentiary
will probably cease. For once tbe
farmer has been tbe beneficiary from
the competition, and be -has watched
the fight with increasing intsrest as the
price grew lower. Tbe state need not
regret having placed tbe jute plant in
connection with the penitentiary, for it
has acted as a regulating force, and has
brought down tbe price of sacks from, an
exorbitant figure, just as the D. P. & A.
N. Co. has been the means of bringing
freight rates here to their proper level
Tbe price of grain sacks in Washington
can never be forced higher than their
legitimate value, for ; when such a figure
is reached the etate can again intervene,
and the price of sacks, like water, will
seek its level. .
Parrlelde Held Without Bail.
Nobtfi Yakima, Ang. -23. Charles
McGonigle was given a preliminary ex
amination before Justice Rodman this
afterno jn on a charge of murder, the
victim being his aged father. The court
room was crowded. The defense brought
in no evidence, and the prosecution in
troduced bnt three of their ten witnesses.
Tbe judge held McGonigle without bonds
to await the action of the superior court
in October. When - tbe prisoner was
taken back to jail, he surprised bh
guards by dancing a jig on the jail floor
and laughing over tbe result of the ex
animation. He Is thought to be feigning
insanity.

ony I feared be wonld die. I hastily
gave him a dose of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. He was
Boon relieved and the first words ho
uttered were, "what was that stuff you

days ago we were talking about the

The Oregonian is as unfair in its criti
cism of The (jbbonici.e s reference to
its recent editorial entitled "Another
Prohibition Scandal," as it was in the
editorial itself. The Chronicle is not
searching for matter of misrepresentation
against the Oregonian. The matter is,
as the Oregonian says, of little general
interest, and therefore ought not to take
up more space of either paper. But we
insist tliat tbe whole tenor of the article
criticised was unfair, and our criticism
was just. The Vermont papers of good
standing put a different version upon
the whole matter from that the Orego
nian seeks to present. But no matter,
the Vermont people will doubtless take

Weather Crop Bulletin o 8 at the
Oregon State Weather Service Tor
Kastern Oregon.
Weather: A few light sprinkles of
rain fell on the 20th and 21st. The
night of the 20th a heavy rain occured
at Baker City, when 0.16 of an inch fell.
The temperature the day was cooler
than during the week preceding, while
the night temperature was about the
same. The maximum ranged from 70
to 00 degrees, and the minimum from
46 to 64 degrees. The atmosphere was
not so smoky duriDg'the past few days
as it had been. -
Crops : For progress In general farm
work the weather conditions have been
perfect. There has n6t been any rain,
except in some southern sections, and
root crops are so far advanced that rain
would not be of benefit. Owing to the
condition of the grain craps continued
fair wbeather is much desired. In Was
co and Sherman counties much of the
grain is in tbe ehock, while in sections
to the east beading and threshing is pro
gressing together. Heading is being
completed in all sections, and the sound
of the thresher everywhere is evidence
of the effort being exerted by the farmer
to save bis grain as soon as possible and
and have it marketed before the com
mencement of the fall rains and avoid a
recurrence of the damage by unreason
able weather, which occured in 1603,
and which is fresh in tbe mind of the
public. Tbe berry of the grain is not as
could be desired, and in many instances,
it must be said that the grain presents' a
shriveled appearance, which condition
is directy attributed to the constant and
prolonged drouth. In tbe Walla Walla
valley the grain will be of good quality ;
there the average amount of precipita
tion wa4 approached nearer than in sec
tions of Eastern Oregon. There will al
so be a good quality of grain from Was
co and Sherman counties, though much
shriveled grain will be shipped from
those sections. While in 'Wasco and
Sherman counties tbe average precipita
tion was not reached, more rain fell than
in Umatilla, Gilliam and Morrow coun
ties. Harvesting continues with good
progress south and east of the Blue
mountains, where in all sections crops
have suffered from the drouth. Tbe
harvest of alfalfa continues. Owing to
the fear that the hay crop -will not be
sufficient to meet the demands, farmers
and Btockraisers are disposing, of their
cattle and are doing bo without making
a sacrifice, since the prices offered
are very good, brass . is tnin on
the range, bo that bay baa to be fed to
cattle just tbe same as in winter. Fruit
shipments continue large, and the com
plaints of dry weather causing fruit to
drop from the trees are fewer. Bartlelt
pears and late peaches are ripening and
are being shipped.' Plums are being
picked and dried in large quantities.
A rain occurred in portions of Union,
Baker, Klamath and Harney counties
on the 2l8t, which failed to do any dam
age or roucn good, ibe potato crop
with bnt few exceptions, has done well
in tbe absence of precipitation, though
in many sections there will not be
enough for home consumption. South
and' east of the Blue mountains tbe
stockholders look foward to early rains
to improve the grass on the rang, with
out wbich the difficulty of taking care of
the stock ; during tbe winter will be
greatly increased.
