THE DUTY OF THE SOUTH.
RESIGNATION OF JUDGE FEE,
Judge James, A. Fee has re
signed from the bench of the
sixth judicial district and Ste
phen A. Lowell immediately
named by Governor Lord as his
successor. The resignation of
Judge Fee has caused genuine
regret among the practitioners in
in his court, and in speaking of
him the East Oregonian says:
"Possessing, as he does, the
implicit confidence of every citi
zen of Eastern Oregon who has
ever come in contact with him in
private or public relation, his
resignation causes intense regret.
His occupancy of the bench has
been marked with that high sense
of honor which is a perpetual
warrant that the judicial system
. will keep pure and untainted.
He retires with a record which
will always be of value to him in
future years."
The appointment by the gov
ernor of Mr. Lowell seems to meet
with satisfaction. Mr. Lowell is
the gentleman who was brought
into prominence by his candidacy
for the senatorship last winter.
At that time his ambitions were j
not regarded seriously by the
press of the state, but the un
qualified endorsement ne nas re
ceived from the bar and business
men of Umatilla county show
him to be a man of more force
than the public credited him with.
Lowell's political star is in the
ascendancy and should his name
come before the next republican
convention for congressman, he
would prove a formidable com
petitor to Representative Ellis.
An article in the Manufactur
ers Record, a good southern au
thority, says that the number of
cotton mills projected in the
south during- the last three
months from June to August in
clusive, exceeds that of any simi
lar period in the historj- of cotton
mill building in that region.
There were projected seventy
seven mills, which will have an
aggregate of over 300,000 spin
dles. These, with the new mills
projected, prior to May 31, will
make an addition of 800,000 spin
dles to be added to the number
now in operation in the South.
If these mills be all built, as in
dications promise, the aggregate
investment will represent over
$15,000,000.
Now we ask the people in the
South, do they suppose that if the
duties on cotton goods were swept
away, that capitalists, large or
small, would invest 515,000,000
in new cotton mills t we are
sure they would not. Lancashire
could undersell them in their own
markets and the investment would
I not pay. In the face of such
consideration, southern politic
ians and journals clamor for that
free trade policy, which, if car
ried to its logical conclusion,
would abolish cotton and woolen
duties and raise revenue by im
ports on sugar, tea, coffee and
the like. Now that the South is
coming to the front as a great
manufacturing region, she should
fling to the breeze the banner of
protection and rally around it.
American Economist.
THE CHICAGO CANAL.
CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.
It is amusing to observe the
readiness with which free trade
papers ascribe the present partial
prosperity to the Gorman tariff.
These same journals denounced
that measure when it was passed;
declared Senators Gorman and
Brice to be traitors and upheld
President Cleveland in condemn
ing the bill and in his refusal to
sign it, says the Economist.
It was the prospect for better
times in the future that brought
a partial return of prosperity and
the restored confidence came from
the knowledge that a republican
majority in the house ot repre
sentatives would prevent any
further tinkering of the tariff in
the interests of England. Few
people of observing minds will
believe the bold declarations that
will appear in democratic plat
forms declaring that the Wilson
bill has restored prosperity to
the United States.
The management of the Bond
Syndidate has sent checks to the
various members of the syndicate
to cover the net profits for the
negotiation of $62,500,000, 4 per
cent bonds in February last, for
which the syndicate agreed to
pay the government about $65,
000,000 in gold. The profits of
the transaction amounted to about
$4,000,000, which represents the
difference of the price paid by the
syndicate and the price at which
the bonds were sold in New York
and London, less the interest and
expense. This was a case where
patriotism paid big dividends.
The Southern Pacific railroad
is about to make a venture which
will attract attention from those
interested in scientific and trans
portation problems. Arrange
ments have been made for using
crude petroleum from the Los
Angeles oil fields as fuel for a
The August number of the
"Traveller" contains an article
which will interest the people of
this vicinity, though belonging
more especially to across the
river neighbor. It refers to the
tribe of Indians known as the
Klickitats, and- contains a copy
of a photograph of their chief
apostle and missionary, Rev.
James H. Wilbur, the agent sent
out in 1861 by President Lincoln.
Already in Father Wilbur's life
time, there was given to him
abundant honor; he saw the re
sults of his labor before his eyes
closed on earthly sights and the
years that roiiow, dui origntt
the appreciate estimate of his
great labor. He carried to the
Indians the gospel of, work, of
thrift and it may be said, of
soap, and beef and mutton, when
they were needed instead of a
feast of salmon, in its season, and
semi-starvation the rest of the
year. The picture of Mr. Wilbur
may be said to be fairly good.
To those who have seen his face,
it will at once be recognized.
But it lacks much, and those
who knew him well, falls far
short of doing justice to his noble
face. t There is a pretty landscape
frontispiece to the the article,
called "Mt. Adams and Trout
Lake, seen from Goldendale."
That title is probably a mis
nomer, as the lake cannot be seen
from such a distance. The ar
ticle, which is from the pen of a
western writer, is very creditable.
Ip view of the fact that th insurance
companies intend to make a reduction
in insurance rates if more apparatus
is added to the fire department, our
reporter called on Chief Faulkner today
to talk the matter over. While Mr.
Faulkner, who is an experienced fire
man, acknowledges that a chemical en
gine and a fire alarm system will
strengthen the fire department consider
ably, yet he considers the department of
The Dalles superior to that of any other
city of the same size on the coast. The
chief says that a chemical engine is a
very essential thing to a fire department
but that 60me means mast be UBed to get
to the fire very quick, else the engine
will be of little benefit. The chief also
thinks that if we bad had a fire alarm sys
tem and a chemical engine daring the
big fire of '91 that our losses, in place of
reaching the millions would only have
been a few hundred.
Chicagoans always manage to
produce some enterprise which
will keep their bustling city be
fore the public eye. The latest
advertisement the city by the
lake is receiving is from the agi
tation concerning the ship canal,
which will connect Lake Michigan
ultimately with the Mississippi
river. This great undertaking,
if . accomplished, will serve not
only as a ship channel, but also as
a drainage canal for Chicago's
seweraere. Especial attention is
given to the subject, at the pres
ent time, owing to the fear that
the quantity of water necessary
to supply the canal will lower the
level of Lake Michigan and also
of the other lakes. Unlikely as
such a result may seem to the
casual observer, there are en
gineers who say that there will
be a general lowering of three
inches in all the lakes; others
declare that six inches may be a
more exact measure. If this
should be realized, the ' effect
upon certain harbors in dry years
would be disastrous.
The secretary of the Lake Car
riers Association, estimates that
a lowering of three inches would
reduce the tonnage by more than
1,000,000 tons, while six inches
would cutoff about 2,500,000 tons.
Professor Wright, according . to
the Philadelphia Press, has esti
mated that the basins of Lakes
Michigan and Huron are so
delicately poised that it needs
only a displacement of a few feet
of rock and gravel at Chicago to
spill them into the Mississippi
valley. Lakes Huron and Michi
gan are about on the same level
and elevated 580 feet above the
sea, while Lake Jirie is eight feet
lower. Lake Superior rests in a
basin of its- own, twenty feet
higher. The drainage area of
the four lakes is about 250,000
square miles, with an average
annual rainfall of thirty-one
inches. There have been the'
ones not g-enerally accepted,
however that these great bodies
of water are supplied by hidden
springs, and the rise and fall of
the lakes at times could thus be
explained. As the carrying ca
pacity of the Great Lakes is now
over 30,000,000 tons, the mer
chandise carried is of great value,
and as our government has spent
vast sums in improving and deep
ly channels, the question as
to how much water will be drawn
from the lakes into the new
canal becomes a deeply serious
one. The lake1 cities have ap
pealed to the government at
Washington, and the Canadian
lake cities to their government.
Upon this canal Chicago has al
ready spent $10,000,000 and ex
pects to spend as much more.
Instead of discharging into Lake
Michigan, the current of the
Chicago river will now be turned
back by the water of the lake,
which is to be drawn through the
channel of the river and thence
is to follow the canal's channel to
the Illinois river and so to the
Mississippi.
Good for Seattle ! She has always shown
herself capable of accomplishing some
thing besides inflating land values to
such heights as to cripple industry and
enterprise.

nothing but talk. The matter now has

Portland Telegram : Governor Alt-

as fervent as those he exploded in hehal'

apathy. No matter what attitude the
