REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE.
In another column is published
communication Irotn a citizen of The
Dalles who signs himself "'Veritas.
The columns of this paper are always
open for the discussion of any matter
pertaining to the welfare of our city,
though the editor holds himself in no
'no way responsible for any views ex.
pressed in such communication. The
writer of the letter states some vital
'facts when lift says! that "organization
- is essential to provide ways and means
to properly set forth the advantages, re
sources and prospective future of a
town," and in reiterating that push,
and energy, and reaching ont for every
thing that will tend to advance the ma
terial of our city, are necessary for its
growth. Tiie examples of many inland
towns, eitualed with not half the propi
tious surroundings that The Dalles pos
sesses, could be cited to show the truth
of these general statements. Every citv
must have a new birth at some point in
its career; a renaissance, when it will
shake off the bonds that have held it,
and reach out for a fuller commercial
life, and instead of living within itself,
shall be a' factor in the general indus
trial world
But on one or two points we think
"Veritas" is in Wor. The Dalles Real
Estate Evchange, which has undertaken
the publishing of a pamphlet of the re
sources of The Dalles and its vicinity,
have not given up the project or allowed
it to fail through lack of interest. The
. subscription list hae been opened, and
a very satisfactory amount of money
been subscribed. A committee is at
work actively arranging for the details
of publication. Articles are being writ
ten giving the necessary information
which we wish strangers to see. Pic
tures of scenes having commercial in
terest, such as typical fruit farms, the
fishing industries, scenes at the ware
houses during the wheat and wool sea
sons, have been secured, and cuts made
for publication in the pamphlet. Mem
bers of the Heal Estate Exchange assure
The Cheonicle that the pamphlet is
being rapidly prepared, and will be a
publication worthy of the country whose
resources it describes.
Whether or not the Beal Estate Ex
change acted wisely in providing that
the commission for sales should be
turned into a fund for distribution be
tween its members, is a matter purely
of private concern,, and is hardly a
proper subject of comment in a news
paper. If the members of ' the associa
ation decide that such is the better plan,
we think they are the exclusive judges.
The fact that the Exchange controls a
a large amount of property in The Dalles,
will not deter any one from buying.
Purchases will be made because the
land is wanted and the price suits, and
the people who sell it will cat no appre
ciable figure.
The Dalles Beat Estate Exchange is
an organization which can and will bo
of great benefit to the citv whose .name
it bears. Co-operation and mutual sup
port between real estate men will be of
assistance, both to purchasers and sell
ers, and we are glad to learn that the
past career of this organization has been
as successful as its future promises
bright. - -
tive fields to give attention to the suffer
ings of Americans across the seas. The
United States can teach England many
things it can show her the path. of in
dustrial progress, and in the arts of war,
as well as peace, this country has led,
more than followed. , In former admin
istrations our government has also, time
and tinie again', demonstrated that an
American citizen is safe .wherever the
stars and stripes are know. . But since
the advent of Grover Cleveland and the
pusillanimous foreign policy, which he
and his associates have ' introduced, this
condition has been, reversed, and Eng
land can show this country how to pro
tect the rights of : its citizenBwherever
they are. .
The democratic adminietraticn cannot
plead ignorance ot how to preserve its
good name abroad. In its jungling with
the tariff, inexperience and lack of abil
icy to grasp the fact that practice does
not always work as theory indicates,
give the reason for failure, but in his
weak and disastrous foreign policy
Grover Cleveland can be allowed no
such charity. The republican party has i
left bim ships and men ; and more than
these, has given him precedents, and be
has failed to use any of them.
OF INTEREST TO WOOL GROWERS
THE WAGES OF SIN.
It seems that young Stemler, ono of
the men hung by lynchers at Yreka,
had bat recently been a student at Cor
vallis. He was yet but a boy. The Cor
vallis Times has this to say of him and
his fate :
Garland Stemler is dead. Six months
ago a student in the ney-day ot youtn
and health and hope, he died an igno
minious death Sunday at the end of the
lyncher's rope. Instead of continued
honorable life among guileless com pan
ions, he went out of the world in com
panv with murderers, denied even the
customary honor of a fair trial by a jury
of his peers. His life is a broken col
nmn covered 'with blood and odium,
shock to all human kind who see it, an
enduring and horrible nightmare to his
family. Barely is there so black an end
ing of a 19-years life.
"When Stemler came to the forks of
the road he took the wrong track. In
stead of going straight ahead, giving
attention ' to his studies, respect to his
seniors and due consideration to the
rights and wishes of. others, he turned
aside to disturb public worship, to chase
young girls, and to court attention by
ungentlemanly and discourteous acts
Like many other yonng men, he
chose to be a 'smart aleck," and Jhe
played the role too well. In the Yreka
jail cell, when the mob was battering
down the doors to lead him out to his
fate, be saw, too late, that he had trav
eled the wrong road. He may have
been innocent of the crime laid to his
door; if so, there is all all the more rea
son for bis career to strike terror to
other young men prone to cultivate
rough and bad companionship, and to
warn them that there is danger ahead
"Mothers should tell to their boys the
terrible story . of Garland Stemler's
wretched fate. His agonizing cry at the
last fearful ' moment, 'Tell my mother
that I am innocent,' should ring always
in the ears of our boys, and teach them
that, guilty or innocent, all men are
judged by the company they keep."
CLEVELAND'S FOREIGN POLICY.
If the Cleveland administration were
one-half as anxious to protect American
citizens in foreign lauds as it is willing
to guard the interests of Spain in this
country, the story of its foreign policy
would not be the miserable tale that a
just history is compelled to record. The
government officials, acting under in
structions fromWashington,are watching
every ship that leaves an Atlantic port,
endeavoring to find ammunition and
supplies which some zealous lovers of
liberty have ehibned to the Cuban in
surgents. Each discovery of such arti
cles ot war or sustenance is made the
occasion of dispatches to- Washington,
and the high officials in the capital
point with glee to the splendid vigilance
of. the government inspectors. Mean
while anJAinerjcan citizen, Waller ,is lan
guishing in a foreign prison with the
justice of his sentence not yet deter
mined. ' ' ' ' '
The United States has abundance o'
means to patrol the Atlantic coasts and
see that nothing in the way of material
assistance shall reach the struggling Cu
bansthe very counterparts of what
our forefathers were who fought in the
Revolution ; but its time and means are
too bueily occupied in such nnproduc-
Great interest was taken during the
recent International Geographical Con
gress in London in the explanations by
M. Andree of his project of reaching the
North Pole by balloon. It is said he
converted many of the members of the
congress to his way of thinking, lie
wonld most surely have done so had be
been able to say : "I have just completed
an aerial voyage of similar length safely.
The conditions of the North Pole expe
dition do not materially differ from
those which I have proven possible, ex
cept in direction." These experiments
are costly; but if he could say this,
money for the trip would flow to him
like water, or like a glacier or ava
lanche if , the comparison is more
suitable.
The famous Lotan trial is ended, and
the political enemies of the convicted
man in his own -party will, exult over
his downfall, while the democrats will
raise a hue and cry over the fact that
Lotan was a republican. Now that the
matter is ended there is little to be said
about it; but in the minds of many
good people there will always be sur
prise that a jury of intelligent men
could convict on the testimony of such a
person as Nat Blum confessed himself to
be. Lotan is no better than anyone
else, however, and having had more or
less to do with Blum, he has been judged
by the company he keeps. Joe Simon
and the democrats can rejoice together
over the fall of a hated rival.
The coming presidential campaign
will be followed by the wool growers of
the country with an interest greate
than ever before taken in any season of
politics. Up to the fatal autumn of 1892,
when the American republic went tern
porarily into assignment, free wool bad
been to the present generation of wool'
men only a dream, and though there
were many who could picture the evils
that free entry of foreign wool would
bring' to the wool growers m this coun
try, yet it needed an actual realization
such as we have been having to show
with emphasis the position of the East
ern Oregon stock grower under the work
ings of a democratic tariff bill. It will
hardly be worth while for any demo
cratic orator, who either - holds an office
under a democratic administration, or
expects to bold one, to attempt to show
an Eastern Oregon farmer how much he
was benefitted by the election of Grover
Cleveland. Some facts have become so
plain that their contrary cannot be
shown, even by the resistless eloquence
of democratic spellbinders.
As a bugle call to action, William
Lawrence, president of the National
Wool Growers Association, has issued
the following circular, to which every
wool grower throughout the length and
breadth of the land should hearken
Let us get what temporary relief we
may . at the hands of the democratic
party, but permanent good will only be
granted by the party of protection that
has always proved its friendship for the
wool grower, as well as all classes of
American citizens. - Here is what Mr.
Lawrence says :
"It is now conceded on all hands that
the Gorman-Brice-Wilson tariff act of
August 28, 1804, is a failure as a revenue
measure. Under it the government, in
a time of peace, is iasning bonds to meet
current expenses. President Cleveland
will, of necessity, ask congress in Decem
ber next to pass a bill to increase the
revenue. The present law, with its in
adequate duties on farm products and
free wool, is an invidious and odious
discrimination against the agriculturists
of this country. The sheen farmers
have lost by free wool more than $100,-
000,000 in the decline in value of sheep
and wool. ' Congress now has the power
to . incorporate in any revenue bill that
may be passed, provisions tor duties on
wool and other farm products, as amply
protective as the present duties for the
most favored of the manufacturing in-'
dustries. You are urged to organize
and demand that congress incorporate
in any revenue bill that may be passed
such protection for our industries. Let
them be made a condition of any in
crease of revenues, mere is no reason
why congress should yield to the presi
dent in denying us this measure of jus
tice. If he will veto any such bill, or
will not permit it to become a law with
out his signature as he did the present
tariff, law let bim take the conse
quences. .Now is the time to urge mem
bers of congress to do justice to the agn
cultural industries of the country."
The
Christian Endeavor Convention at
' The Dalles.
; Mr. E. H. Merrill, the . vice-president
of the Wasco county Christian Endeavor
Union, went to Hood Kiver a few days
ago to perfect arrangements tor the
county convention, to be held in The
Dalles one week from the coming Thurs
day and Friday, September 10th and
20th. The final arrangements were
made in the meeting of the executive
committee at that place. The commit
tee perfected the program, which in
eludes special music by talent from
abro&d, and addresses by distinguished
speakers from Portland and elsewhere.
Among 'other attractions Miss Cora
Aldrich of Cascade Locks and Miss Anna
Smith of -Hood River will sing a duet.
These ladies are both favorably known
in The Dalles, and their voices appreci
ated. Then, an address by C. H. Curtis
of Portland on "Good Citizenship"
should be heard by all. Mrs. Palmer
of Portland, a . famous junior worker,
will be present. The evangelise, A. J.
Ho'ldridge, is also expected to be pres
ent and lend his aid to the convention.
Lesser lights from various parts of the
county will also take part in the con
vention. An hour will be given up to
the juniors, in which the boys and girls
will conduct their own meeting. This
part of the program will consist of devo
tional service, address of welcome and
response, songs and recitations, all con
ducted by the Juniors. ;
It. is the desire of the county officers
that representatives from all the Chri
tian Endeavor societies in the county
be present at this convention. Send
names of delegates not later than Sept,
15th to A. G. Hoering, The Dalles
chairman of the entertainment commit
tee. All who come will be entertained
without any expense to the visitors.

The Busiest Boat.
The yacht race is not being run today.
Tomorrow the sails will be arain - un
furled, and England and America will
watch, with bated breath, as the queen
ly crafts sail before the breeze. From
every indication which the race of Sat
urday furnishes, the Defender will
prove the better boat, and our title to
the championship cup be made secure
for another year. '
The Dalles - hose team won the first
, .
prize in the tournament race at Van
couver this , week, running the distance
in 38 seconds, while their nearest com
petitors ran It in 88 1-5 seconds'. - 'Bab
for The DalleB. Antelope Herald.
The yacht race is again the topic of
interest throughout the world today,
The excitement attendant npon the
opening of the Kiel canal and the Sedan
celebration' has given away to cheers for
the American Defender and the ' gal
lant craft from merrie - England
Even the newspaper columns have i
rest from the Corbett-Fitzsimmons slug'
ging match, and Texas gives way to
New .York. The cup for which the
yachts were striving today was first won
by the America on August 22, 1851, in
a -race around the isle of wight, i.ng
land. In 1857 the cup was presented to
the New York yacht club as a perpetual
trophy for contest between the foreign
nations. The conditions that accom
panied the gift were that the challeng
ing boat shall belong to some rec
ognized foreign yacht club having an
annual regatta over an ocean course,
the competitor to be of not lees than
than thirty nor more than three hun
dred tons register, and to sail on its own
bottom to the port where the contest
takes place." Later on, a further con
dition was imposed that the competing
yacht shall challenge ten months before
the race, and accompanying the chal
lenge shall give her dimensions. This
is the eight contest which has taken
place for the coveted cup, and in every
one not counting the present, as' the
returns are not all in we have been
victorious.' The best wishes of an en
thusiastic nation are with the- Defender

The Oregon City hose team has issued
a challenge to the Vancouver team to
run at any place or time other than at
the home of either company any race
of the recent tournament. The condi
tions are to be the same as those pre
scribed at the tournament. The Oregon
City boys went home with blood in their
eyes, and are willing to wager $200 on the
result.
The D. P. & A. N. Co. is making itself
felt on the lower river, as it has on the
middle Columbia. The steamer Dalles
City is the most popular boat that runs
in and out of Portland, and her officers
are far famed for their politeness and
accommodation. The Oregonian re
porter, who made a tour of the docks
has this to say of the "Dalles City:".
The wharf of the steamer Dalles City
, just at present, one of the liveliest
spots on the water-front. . The steamer
comes in fully loaded every day with
wheat, wool, fruit and produce, and be
ing the only boat 'tin the route, has all
she can attend to. Agent Harney says
that tourist travel is about over for the
season, but the passenger business holds
its own owing to the number of mer
chants and people along the upper river
who are coming to this city to lay in
their fait supplies of goods.

vallis, Oregon, is one of the leading in

Another case of malicious burning of
hay .Is reported from Emigrant Springs,
three stacks belonging to James Eng
burg, the victim of the former burning,
being destroyed last Friday. This
makes five stacks which Em-bunr has
lost by fire during the last month.
Much sympathy is felt in the neighbor
hood, for Mr. Eogbnrg, as his entire
crop, all but one stack, has thus been
wantonly destroyed.
The Odd Fellows in the southern end

Justice Meader's court in Moro was
thronged with suitors last Thursday and
Friday, cause celebre being an action for
damages brought by J. A. Thompson, a
farmer, against Messrs. Ellsworth and
Nebergall, two threshing machine men,
because they refused tq finish threshing
Thompson's crop after they had threshed
a little over half of it. The crop was a
volunteer and had a good deal of old
stubble in it, and the defendants found
they were going to drop money on it if
they continued to thresh it, so they
pulled out of the field without notifying
Thompson, whereupon the latter brought
his suit for damages. It was a jury trial
and a verdict in favor of Mr. Thompson
was rendered for $35 damages. The de
fendants promptly paid up.
James Allen, of Grass Valley, was in
Moro last week, under the care of Dr. I.

'A Contemplated Improvement.
The O. R. A N. Co. are starting some
important improvements in The Dalles.
A gang of men are working on the bridge
leading from First street to the com
pany's shops putting in 'new ties and
otherwiee repairing the bridge. . Many
new piles have been driven and the re
maining old piling will be replaced by
new ones. A survey has been made for
a new incline leading to the old steam
boat landing and a gentleman, prom
inent in local railroad circles, told a
Chronicle representative yesterday that
work would in a short time be com
menced npon the grade.
The railway management has au eye
to things after the locks are open and it
is a fact well assured that they will place
a line of steamers upon the Columbia
river, whenever the canal is done. This
fact is made almost certain by the con
templated rebuilding of the incline.
The grade will be so fixed that the steep
incline now leading down to the coal
bunkers will be obviated, and a grade of
lesser declivity will be established. Just
when the work will be begun is hot yet
known, but as the stakes for the incline
survey have been placed in position, the
indications are it will 'not be long before
the old incline will be again made ready
for use. ' ; . i

The Defender Beaten.
Mr. A. E. Tyler, the accommodating
agent of the. Western Union, received
the bulletins of the great race today.
The story is not a very pleasant one, as
the Valkyrie won but by. only two sec
onds. ' The defeat of the Defender was
due to the breaking of the Defender's
topmast back stay in a collision with the
English yacht. The Defender's mast
bent to leeward and cracked. The Val
kyrie was . plainly in the fault, as she
was in the Defender's right of way.
The Defender continued on the course,
however, notwithstanding the mishap.
The starting gnn was fired at 11 o'clock,
and two minutes later the limit gun was
fired. After crossing, the Valkyrie led
slightly, but the Defender began to gain.
The start was made at exactly 11 o'clock
and thirty seconds. The Valkyrie
turned the stake at 12 :57, the Defender
following at 1 :01. At 1 :30 the Valkyrie
was two miles ahead. From this time
on the Defender quickly gained, and
notwithstanding her disabled condition,
was overtaking the English racer. At
2:30 both boats were out of sight, bat
at 2:44 p. m. they came in view, the
Valkyrie leading by about a mile.
The official time at the finish was Val
kyrie, 2.55 :22 ; . Defender, 2.57 :40.
A great deal of work has already been '
done by the gentlemen who have nndor
taken to give this district a fair next
month that will be a successful meeting.
Nearly $600 have already been raised
among the business men to add to the
$1500 which the state gives for distribu
tion as agricultural premiums. Some
of the members of the committee are
absent from town, and for this reason
the matter of raising the required
amount has not been finished. As soon
as the absent members of the commit
tee, Mr. Moody and Mr. Crowe, return to
town the work of soliciting subscriptions
will be farther continued. Everyone
whohas thus far been approached has ex
pressed a desire to heartily co-operate
to make the fair a success, and have
been free with money and words of en- '
couragement. ; "
The Dalles should have a celebration
this year which will be in every way a
success. Let everybody put a shoulder
to the wheel and give a hearty boost.
All the conditions are present for having
a splendid exhibit next month, and all
that is needed is j hearty co-operation
and a little push.

Mr. A. E. Tyler, bulletins of the great
yacht race, which is being run today, are
displayed at the telegraph office. Mes
sages were eent every few minutes so the
progress of the yatcbs could be intelle-
gently watched. I
The boats started at 11. a. m., in a
haze. The sea was rough and the wind
was blowing' about 10 miles an honr.
The. Defender turned the stake at 8.40;
the Valkyrie at 3 :43. The Defender
crossed the line about 5.20 (Eastern
time), and the Valkyrie eight minutes
later. The yachts ' became obscured la
a mist and the Defender gained on the
home run. America is on top today.
