. .- ' : The pension list-- grows steadily,
and the indications are that another
class will be provided 'for at the
coming session of congress that will
add $10,000,000 more to the amount
of money the country' must pay
The Chronicle editor oelieves m
the pension system, but riot the one
in vogue. We believe that every
old soldier who lost limb or health in
the service of the country should be
cared for. VFe believe the pension
list should be a roll of honor, and
that it should be a source of pride to
him who received a portion of a
grateful people's bounty. The list
is do longer such. Able-bodied men,
with abundant property and a Klon
dike of good health are on the list.
Men who pursue their occupations iq
competition with their' fellowmen,
who bold lucrative offices, and who
are abundantly able to take care of
themselves and their families, are on
the list, and they should be there no
longer.
We need pension legislation look
ing to its reduction rather than to its
extension. There are men who were
good soldiers and who are in need,
who are not, but should be, on the
pension list, but every able-bodied
man should come off of it. Every
man with a competence should come
off of it. Every fraud, and theie
are thousands of them, should come
off of it.
The human mind cannot grasp and
measure a statement made in figures,
for 140,000,000 rolls off the tongue
lust as quickly- as 140,000. Let us
put $140,000,000, the amount paid
' yearly for pensions, into something
tangible that the mind can grasp,
and - so measure the extent of the
nation's gratitude. One hundred
and forty million dollars, with wheat
at 75.. cents a bnsbel, would mean
186,666,667 bushels of wheat. One
hundred bushels of wheat weigh three
tons. Eighteen tons make an a
age carload,and eighteen tons are 600
busLels. The average car is forty
feet loDg. Now if 186,000,000 bush
els of wheat, representing the pension
payments, were placed in freight cars,
600 bushels to the car, the cars forty
feet in length, it would make a solid
train 2357 miles long, enough to
, reach from Chicago to Portland and
leave a few miles for good measure.
. With $40,000,000 more added it
would lengthen the train 500 miles.
With beef cattle valued at $25 etch,
and allowing ten feet for each one,
it would make a drove of cattle,
standing three abreast, that would
reach from San Francisco to New
York, 'or in single file would reach
from San Francisco to Berlin. With
$40,000,000 more added, the herd
would reach a trifle more than half
way around the earth. With hay at
$7 per ton, and allowing 500 cubic
feet - to the ten, it would make a
pyramid a mile square at its base
and a mile high. With cord wood at
$2 per cord, $140,000,000 would
represent a small bit of , wocd -pile
that piled four feet high, the wood
'being four feet long, would reach
four times around the earth. With
lumber at $10 a thousand, it would
make a board 2,657,515 miles long,
or a board walk around the earth 100
feet wide. At $20,000 a mile, it
would build two railroads from New
York- to San Francisco. It would
build seventy war vessels, costing
$2,000,000. each, and these big fel
lows placed in a line so they touched
would teach nearly five miles. It
. would construct the Nicaragua canal
and would run a country newspaper
. 100,000 years.

The motion for a permanent injunc

United States courtroom at Wheel

In the meanwhile the temporary in

effect upon the filing of a proper
bond.
INJUNCTION AGAIN.
The strike situation nas assumed a
serious phase, since tne mine-owners
have unndertaken to try to restrain
the miners from assembling near their
properties by getting out injunctions.
The strike has been a remarkable
one in that it has been free from vio
lence and bloodshed. The miners
have kept within the law, and t)avc
used nothing stronger than argument
to persuade their fellow-miners to
join in the strike. Of this rbjht the
companies are now trying to deprive
them. It should not succeed, and if
the temporary injunction is made
permanent there is going to be
trouble.
The right of free speech, the right
to assemble peaceably, the light to
organize for mutual benefit and pio-j
tection, rests upon the decision, and
there are more than the coal-miners
intereslea in it The corporations
and the trusts are getting too large
for a republican form of government.
and are seemingly determined to do
away with the laws of the country
and the rights and liberties of the
people.
It will be a sorry day for them
hen they can get courts venal enough
to carry out their behests, for the day
they do a revolution will begin
that will sweep them out of exist
ence, and they will be fortunate in
deed if their property is not confis
cated and the lives .of their officers
declared forfeit. Gold-madness, as
we see it illustrated in the rush to the
Klondike, is as measles to smallpox
compared to blood-madness, and from
present indications, this country will
be lucky if it escapes an attack of it
before the century closes.

"A NO MEN BELO W.r
Billy , Bell, who belongs to that
class known as squaw-men, stabbed
and mortally wounded bis squaw at
Port Blakeley Saturday, and the fol
lowing day- committed suicide by
hanging himself to the bed-post in
his cabin. - :
Since the beginning of time woman,
lovely womau, has had much to an
swer for. From the golden-haired
Guinevere to the raven-locked Cleo
patra, from the fnir-skinncd Helen of
Troy to the acute brunette of Billy
Bell's household alike they have
caused trouble, bloodshed and death.
The humau heart is a strange md
complex bit of machinery, and what j
it does, or will do, neither science
nor sense may demonstrate. Une
would never suspect, for instance.
that a white man would become so
enamored of a Pnget sound squaw
that he would commit suicide be
cause, as Bill iNye puts it, "sue was
too good to be true." It is hard to
believe this possible, if one has ever
seen one of these'squaws.- They are
not beauties. Most of them have a
forehead like the' mold-board of ; a
breaking plow, and a form possessing
all the grace and roundness of a
twenty-gallon beer keg. They are
dumpy, dirty and suggestive of the
spring run of salmon late in the fall.
Yet such is the power of feminiuity
that Billy Bell felt that without the
particular specimen of the genius
that he bad captured, life would lie

light cut on the back of his hand.
The fight lasted twenty-five minutes.
That illustrates the difference be.
tween old country; methods and the
rapid manner of doing things in the
wild, wild West The arrangements
for the duel have occupied four men,
not counting the principals, for three
weeks, and then when the combat
ants finally entered the. ring it took
twenty-six minutes to get a result
In a mining camp the preliminaries
would have been' arranged in two
seconds, and 'without any,' and the
corpse would have been "carried out
and all bands ginned up before the
twenty-six minutes had elapsed
Western methods are sometimes hur
ried, but the results are enormous,

The weather bulletin gives a gen
eial report of the temperature in
"Eastern Oregon" and says the high
est was 98 on Sunday, etc... Eastern
Oregon is a very large country,'
hence the report as to the tempera
ture must depend' upon the portion
of Eastern Oiegon where , it was
taken. At The Dalles the thermom
eter Sunday stood . at 3 o'clock' at
exactly 100. At Pendleton a few
days befere, we are told it was 106.
It is an impossibility to giye the
temperature of Eastern Oregon at a
given time, for it will vary at least
twenty degrees. '
Congressman Ellis was at the Per
kins hotel, Portland, Saturday and
Sunday, and it is said that be was
the busiest man in Oregon, and the
hotel seemingly the most' popular
one in the city. The delegation of
those desiring to devote their ser
vices to. Uncie Samuel was there in
an utter blank, and so he sent her i force, and the be!l boys received tips
over to the bapiy IbhiiiLr grounds ! for carrying cards up to Congress-

MR.
BECKERS GENIUS.
The injunction issued by Judge
Jackson against the striking miners
is not what the first newspaper re
ports indicated. According to these
Mr. Becker of Albany, Oregon, is
on his way to the Klondike, leaving
on the Elder yesterday. There is
nothing remarkable in the fact that
Mr. Becker has gone Klondike krazy.
along with a large contingent unre
strained by the walls of the asylum
building; .but Mr. . Becker had an
original idea, which he has under
taken to put in practice. He read of
the dizzy heights and perpendicular
climb of Cbilcoot pass, and at once
began to investigate the matter with
a view to overcoming its difficulties.
His versatile mind at once suggested
the much-abused goat as the animal
par excellence for the job. He rea
soned that the goat as a climber
can't be beate.i, and consequently
that he ought to be able to stand the
climb it of Cbilcoot pass. The Bo
rean blasts that sweep over the Cbil
coot would toy vainly with the flow
ing whiskers of those old timers; and
what more appropriate animal to faze
the Arctic circle than these descend
ants of old Capricornus, into which
the sun itself enters at the winter
solstice. . ' . ' -
And so Mr. Becker sailed away
for Nature's cold storage vault, on
the Elier, carrying with, him ten
Billys and Nannys, each provided
with &1 pretty little pack saddle.
Each animal is expected to carry
fifty pounds of freight and to live on
icicles, moss, or any old thing. Of
course it is only an experiment, but
Mr., Becker deserves to succeed, and
Probably the worst feature of the
Klondike craze is that some of the
bedlamites can't loosen their safety
valves, except in alleged poetry. A
sensible public can luok on undis
mayed as the crowd surges- towards
the gang plauks of the steamers. It
can read the Aladdin-like tales of
suddenly -acquired wealth and never
bat an envious e3'e; but poetry, Gad
zooksl has it come to this? -The
quivering air of . August, with the
mercury up to 106, fairly shivers at
some of these doggarel verses. Per
haps the worst production of the kind
thai has appeared in print is that of
J. B. Chapman, M. D., that appears
in the Seattle P. I. - After reading it
one involuntarily wishes the doctor a
speedy voyage aud a long stay, and
hopes that he may take his poem
with him to Alaska and practice on

would start a thaw in January.

of the Oregon congressional delega
tion arrives no recommendations will

The Crook County Journal reaches
us this week with all the brands and
ear-marks of Hugh Gourlay's versa
tile genius on its pages. No smooth
er pencil than his puts black lines
representing thought on white paper,
and Crook county is to be congratu
lated upon securing his services.
tstewart of Nevada says it is use-
less to longer advocate free coinage
of silver. Stewart is like the appli
cant for the country school, who in
response to the question as to whether
he taught that the world was round
or flat, replied that he could teach it
either way. He has. always been a
trickster and a trimmer, caring noth
ing for principles, and having an eye
single for Stewart's advancement
He is a brainy fellow, and had his
talents not taken birr into the profes
sion of the law and politics, he would j
have made an equal success in some
other of the criminal lines. He sees
that the silver issue is dead, and that
in order to hold his position he must
trim ship and take another tack. He
is bold and prefers to lead rather
than to fallow, and this alone ac
counts for his sudden change of
front. ' - ,
Among other questions asked ap
plicants, for certificates to teach were
three or four concerning Cuba, some
of which would bother a statesman.
The series reads : "Where is Cuba ?"
"What people live' there?" "What
is their religion and government?"
The last is a stumper.
One' of the beet known , men in East
ern. Oregon was George Waldron, for
merly of this city. He was "hail fel
low, well met" and everybody knew and
liked him.
Among bis many- fads Waldron was a
great dog fancier, that . is he,iancied
every dog be Raw aod owned a. collection
that might Declassed as canine curios.
He wasn't particular about how be got

the paid dog catcher of the cities to whose

kind was a do?, and reDreaente.1 "bo

up near the month of the Deschutes.
and to this he eent his does for safe
keeping when ' the title was not war
ranted. One day George swiped a. fine
banting dog belonging to a friend of bis
and sent him " out to the ranch. He
didn't really need him, for be was pos
sessed of dozens . of dogs then. His
friend, whose dog be had taken, deter
mined to get even; so ho conferred with
some others whose dogs had disappeared
andH.M. Beafl pnt up a job for VV'al
dron's benefit. - -
First a dozen big packing cases or dry
goods boxes were secured, and a sum of
money having been contributed, the
email boys of The Dalles - were told that
two-bits would be paid them for every
dog'deiivered at the O. S. N. warehouse,
where Beall held forth, and the mora
ornery the dog the better. Stirred by
the sudden boom in dog stock, there was
soon a steady stream of small boys lin
ing np at the warehouse, with one end
of a piece of baling rope in their bands
and a dog at the other end. ' The boxes
bad been provided with slate, and as
fast as the money con Id be paid over
Beall slid the cars into the boxes. 'By
night there were nine dry goods boxes
hi led with dogs, and for once there
wasn't a stray dog in town. Tne slats
were securely nailed on the boxes, and
developments awaited. As it happened
Waldron bad a lot of eupplies coming
np on the boat, and was entirely ont at
the ranch, so the next day after the
dogs were boxed be sent one of bis men
with a four-borse team after his freight.
The man came down and finding noth
ing in eight bnt nine bigdrygoods boxes
of dogs, be loaded them into the wagon
and the next day arrived at the Wal
dron ranch with the finest assortment of
mongrel canines ever gathered in East
ern Oregon. The boxes were unloaded,
the slats knocked off, and the way those
imprisoned cars fled for their lives over
the g'adsome buncbgraSs hills, was a
sight never to be forgotten. '-. "

Yesterday afternoon Ray Filloon very
fortunately teased bis father, Mr. John
Filloon, to take him swimming. . Mr.
Filloon at first objected, but the day be
ing hot and the boy anxious to learn to
swim his father finally consented, and
went with him about 6 o'clock ' to the
elongb op the river. When tbey ar
rived, there wore two boys there, Neddy
Briggs and Bert Varney, who were al
ready in the water. ' Mr. Filloon eat on
the bank while Kay went in. The water
is not deep except for a short distance,
bat for a few rods was beyond the little
fellows depth. Bert, who cannot swim,
managed to get into this deeper water
and at once sank. Neddy, who is jqst
learning to swim, at once went . bravely
to bis assistance and of conrso Bert
grabbed him. Mr. Filloon, who supposed
.both boys could Swim, and consequently
thought tbey were "fooling," soon saw
pnat tnev were drowning and at once
plunged in without even taking off bis
hat, and catching them, with a few vig
orous strokes brought tbem out. '
- Neither 'had strangled, and in a little
while were all right. Had Mr. Filloon
not been there, two little piles of cloth
ing on the bank would alone bave told
the story last night. Neddy Briggs
showed a brave heart - in going to his
companion's aid, for he risked bis life in
doing so, and bad he not done so, prob
ably the ' Varney - boy would ' have
gone down and have been beyond aid
before Mr. Filloon could have reached
him. It was an accident with a happy
termination, and should serve as a cau
tion to parent's to look after their boys
when they go swimming, at least antil
they learn to swim. . . r

here as the husband of bis third wife,
though not yet twenty years old, will
probably now do service for the state at
Salem and cease for awhile bis troubling

. Upon tne occasion ot bis marriage
here a few weeks ago, a second-hand
store in tne .bast Jaa was robbed oi a
lot of pistols. George was suspected of
being the criminal and was arrested,
bnt owing to lack ot evidence was dis
charged. While locked up, his wife's
relatives got her away from him, and be
has since been unable to get ber back.
Saturday he was over at White Salmon
and there yielding to his propensities,
he assaulted an old half-blind squaw.
In struggling with ber he lost bis pistol,
and she having clawed him into leaving
her, found it and took it to Deputy
Sheriff Olinger of Hood Eiver. dinger
thinking it might be one of, the pistols
stolen here, sent it np to Deputy Sheriff
Kelley, and the storekeeper identified it
as being one stolen from him. .
A dispatch was sent to Hood River to
arreet George, and if be bad not left be
fore the dispatch was received, he is by
this time in custody.
. Quarterly Examination.
Following is the result of the third
quarterly examination for- teachers' cer
tificates, which began Aug. 11th and
closed Aug. 13th : ,
There were nine applicants for county
certificates and seven were successful, as
follows: .First grade Lizzie Nichols,
Boyd ; Nellie Hndson, Dufur." .Second
grade Timothy Miller, Cascade Locks.
Third grade Frances H. Fonte, Cora
Stanton, Nona C. Rowe, The Dalles;
Nettie Kemp', Hood River. Maimee
Driver received a second grade certificate
without examination, she having secured
the required standing in August 1896,
and having bad the required experience
in teaching. Nancy P. Cooper of The
Dalles was recommended by the board
for state life diploma and J. M. Carrol)
of Mosier for state certificate. . . -
A few minutes before 4 o'clock Tues
day afternoon the sharp report of a pis
tol fired three times in succession, at
tracted the attention of those in that
part of the .city between Washington
and Union and back to Third, and in a
few moments the report was -circulated
that Dan Maloney had Jpeen shot. This
proved to be true, the shooting being
done by a young man named Jack Prahl,
who, resides at Camas Prairie, Wash. :
' ; There are several stories concerning
the cause of the trouble, one being that
it started over a horse race last 4th of,
July. Whatever the start was, thoBe
who saw the trouble say that Dan struck
Prahl in the mouth, when the latter
pulled bis pistoi and fired three times.
One bullet found mark about - three
inches below the left nipple.
Pfahl ran up the street to the corner
of Second and Conrt after the shooting ,
where Constable Hiil approached him,
when Prahl commanded him to halt
unless he was an officer. Dick Gorman, -whQ
was looking out of the window from .
Judge - Bennett's office, called to him
that Hill was an officer. whereuDon
Prabl threw down bis gun and sur
rendered. ' - . .,
Another report is to the effect that
Prahl was huDting a row, and picked a
quarrel with Maloney." The shooting
occurred on First street in front of the
Baldwin saloon, into which Maloney
was carried, and Dr. Hollister was sum
moned. At this writing his chances of
recovery are considered slight.
