Butta MILITARY SCHOOL OF EX PERIENCE. There are two schools of war, one scientific acd the other experimental. As a rule for large command a sol dier must have taken his degree in both. The value of a course of ed ucation in the school of experience was well shown in our last war. The rebellion began half a genera 'tion after the Mexican war, and both aides had the benefit of a large num ber of men still in the prime of life who bad seen service in Mexioo in a war that was chort but bloody enough to be of great educational importance. In the preseLt war with Spain it will be found that the much longer course of expeiience in the early '60s was in the highest de gree educational. The veterans then old enough to rise to eminence are for the most . part dead, or too old cow to endure the hardships of the camp, but it is safe to say that many a man who carried a musket then will wear a sword now. s ,. The state of Illinois furnished In the Mexican war six regiments and four independent companies, 6,123 men in all. Few states did as well, and no state bbowed so large a list ot kiled on t:ie battle field. The ' first ' Republican governor of the state, Willliarn H. Bissell, was one of the colonels. General Shields, subse quent senator from Illinois and two other states, led a brigade. But it -was the musket bearers of that war wbo won most distinction, civil and Military. Gen. Logan was of their (number. Still . in his teens when the war came, he joined the ranks of Illi nois volunteers, and thus learned the lessons that prepared him to achieve the later distinction of being the feremost volunteer officer of the whole country. North or South. Gen eral Oglesby and Co'onel Morrison -also served in the ranks of the Mexi "eana war, and were thus edoeated for ' high responsibility in the rebellion. "General Logan was able to go thro' The .entire -war in the field, but both Oglesby and Morrison were early wounded so severely as to be unable vto take part in the field service. LLogan and Oglesby became lieuten ants, but none the less the rank and file may claim them both, and in their later careers may be read a sig nificant prophecy. "'Pi. - ntnenvt hniwl rW t h A m nriAArl army, Gen. Nelson A. Miles, re ceived bis early military education in the civil "war. Hardly more than a boy when be entered the service, he .has never left it, and now he is tbor--onghry equipped for , the great re sponsibilities thrust upon him. Like 'Washington, ne never naa a ciay s 'training in aoy other school. Nei 'ther bad Andrew Jackson, the only : general who won renown in the war -of 1812. In the list of great British -soldiers no name shines out with' rgreater luster than that of Clive, whose military genius made India the crown jewel in the imperial dia dem of his country, and bis knowl edge cf the science of war was all learned on the field. . It is safe to say that when the "battle-flags of the present war are furled new and striking example in oint will have been added to the roll of great soldiers ' who took their degree in the military school of ex jerience. Inter Ocean. . OLD ARGUMENTS REPEATED.' Almost Continually during the last decade the press of this city has been advocating the establishment in The Dalles of manufacturing - industries. It must be admitted that the labor lias not been productive of much fruit, and yet the reasons for' such a course are perfectly apparent. Soon er or later something must be done in the direction of investing capital in industries which will not ' only convert the raw material, so abund ant at our doors, into finished prod ucts, but which will also --'provide a pay roll, for operatives and laboring men who may be attracted to our midst. ' Other cities are eager to avail themselves of this means to increase their growth and commercial pros perity, and The Dalles in this regard is notably backward by comparison. These are unpleasant words, but it is wi6e sometimes to speak plainly, and none can say but that the state ments made are true. Pendleton, Salem, Oregon. City, Dallas, TJnion and other places have their woolen mills; La Grande has its sugar beet factory, while The Dalles, which is more fortunate than any of them in point of natural situation, depends entirely on trade for its sustenance. We do not underestimate the ad vantages this place enjoys as a com mercial center; .they arc obvious to every observer.- . 'But, if in addition to what we now, posses?, the invest ment of outside, capital hi manufact uring lines could be secured, our growth would be greatly enhansed. Some day the manufacturing possi bilities of this city will be developed ; but let us not depend upon time alone, but use our efforts to hasten the hour when this city shall make into manufactured goods the wool and other products for which The Dalles is recognized as the greatest market on the coast. DEWEY'S VICTORY. The news from Dewey is glorious. It may be barbarous to exult, over the death and destruction which have visited the enemj, but such feeling belongs to war and it is war which is occupying our minds these days. The long expected battle near the Philippine Islands has resulted a9 every American believed it would and a different outcome vould have caused as great a shock to the nerves of the nation as did the defeat of the TJnion troops at the first battle pf Bull Bun, a shock from which it took several years for tbe North to re cover. All the details of Dewey's fight have not reached us but enough is known to warrant the statement that the Americans have achievad a great victory. Three of the Spanish ships are destroyed and it must fol low that many Spaniards have gone to where Captain Evans S3ys Spanish should be exclusively spoken. The result of this battle is far reaching than the number of ships destroyed or men slain. Its effect cannot be otherwise than to reveal the utter weakness - of. Spain and the :otal inability of her navy to compete with that of tbe . United States. It would not he surprising if Dewey's fight would bring about the close of the war. This is by no means' certain but it is possible. Tbe other nations have now a pretext of telling Spain her cause is hopeless and the surrender of Cuba would be her cheapest and wisest plan. In the meantime all honor to the war offi cers and gallant seimen of the Asiatic squadron. The Republican campaign opens todiyr when T. T. Geer speaks at Toledo. From now till June 6 th the contest between sound money and fiat theories will be fought. Just why the advocates of. free silver should have the temerity to longer continue a hopeless struggle is hard to understand unless it be under tbe explanation that this free silver talk is but a ruse to gam tbe offices. All the dire calamities which the 6ilver men predicted would happen after McKinley's election have turned out to be blessings and the country is rapidly regaining the prosperity which wise legislation always insures. Governor Lord has seen fit to ig nore Eastern Oregon entirely in his distribution of the offices for the new regiment which is going forth to face the Spaniards. . There are many worthy men east i f the mountains from whom a choice could be made for a regimental position, which act in itself would be an encouragement for the militia in the future. As it is .Eastern Oregon has been singular ly overlooked and neglected. Soon the wool of 1898 will begin pouring into The Dalles in immense quantities. What a fine Jhing it would be if we had a wooleu factory in which the fleecy product could be transformed into finished : goods! Think of thi labor which would be employed arid the constant ttream of wealth ' which would pour into our midst! ' - . ; X The free silver men. in congress have been most anxious'to precipi tate': war', and now when conflict is an actual condition, they are desir ous of securing legislation favorable to their views upon the currency question. But in this matter disap pointment await them. A sonnd monetary system is n absolute ne cessity in time of war; - more so, if that be possible,' than in peace, and he Republican party is irretrievably committed to a support of the gold standard, for thereby only is it possi ble to maintain the credit of the nation. Fancy Mexicc undertaking a war upon such a scale ai that upon which the United States. is entering. Her securities would sink to a level which would mean bankruptcy; ' and yet, according to our silver friends, Mexico is in a high state of national prosperity. It is the knowledge that the United States will pay its obli gations in the best money possible which gives to our credit its high standing among tbe nations of the world. , The German press is very un friendly to the United States, and very unjust. : In attributing selfish motives to this government the Ger man editors are being misled, evi dently by the opinions of the Aus trian and French journals, which are influenced by sentimentality to es pouse the side of Spain. As our position is more clearly undeistood in Germany the opinions of the newspapers of the empire will change. for at present they are based upon an utterly false assumption. The Chronicle is in receipt of many kind complimentary -notices on tbe occasion of its - issuance as a morning paper. A few of these ap pear on" our local page today. We believe tbe people of .this section are desirous of lending their support to the new venture, and it will be the earnest endeavor of The Chronicle to justify the kind words which have already been said. F.'X. Schoon maker of New Jersey will make campaign speeches in Ore gon this year. He will be pleasantly remembered as a man' who did a great deal of effective work in the cam pain of 1896. A very different man "is he ' from "Cyclone" Davis whom tbe Fusionists expect to bring out as their star performer. THE FOREST RESERVE. A. Letter from Ormaby Concent tbe Hatter. A great deal of interest is at present being felt in the matter of the Cascade reserve and no one can ever guess as to how the matter will be settled. . Secretary F. W. Wilson of the Oregon Wool-Growers Association,, yesterday received a letter from S. B. Ormsby, superintendent of the Oregon Forest Re serve, which we publish, since we tbluk it will farnith information to those in terested in the matter. .. The following in the letter: ' ' "Salem, Oregon, April 30, 1898. Fre l W. Wilson, Secretary O. W.-G. A., The Dalles, Oregon. Dear Sir: . As secretary of the Oregon Wool-Growers' Association I think it well that you . know something of tbe matter 'of government control of tbe grazing lands on the .Cascade Reserve as far as it has progressed'to the present time; The Commission has now under advisement a plan for granting permits to graze the coming seaeon, and I expect very soon to bear ot the decision. TJn til that time I can only say that I-believe thoee who -desire to occupy the same range as heretofore will be permit ted to do so. . A time will 'be fixed, I think, about July 1st, for crossing the line going in. Very respectfully yours, -- v S. B. Oemsby, Special Forest Agent snd Supt." The largest and most enjoyable ex cursion ot this season will bo given on Sunday next, May 8th, by Minnehaha Association, composed of Red Men of Portland. Already op ward of 1500 tickets nave been sold, and arrange ments are being made for 3000 people. This excursion comes from Portland to this city, and round trip tickets will be but$l. Trains will run in two or more section, leaving Portland at 7 :30 a. m. and making ehort etops at Cascade Locks, Multnomah falls and other points of interest. They will remain in this city about six hours. - THE. MORNING CHRONICLE- Varlona Tribute Paid to It By the Ta- pera of Eastern Oregon. t It is indeed gratifying to note how well the press and the general public and the press appreciates onr effort in getting out a morning daily. The fact that we have added one hundred name? to our subscription list in four days .is indeed gratifying and convinces us that we will be successful. , Oar enlarged subscrip tion list will make it all the more an object to abvertise in oar paper, and we eolicit tbe patronage of the business men and feel assured that with our enlarged circulation they will receive the best re turns for money spent in this way. I In speaking of our paper the Crook County Journal eays: "The Dalles Chronicle came out as a morning paper last Tuesday morning. The Chronicle Publishing Company promises to have the papers printed in time to leave on the morning stages for the interior. If this promise-is carried out the paper; will furnish war news to the people out this way t went) -four hours earlier than the Oregonian and twelve hours in advance of the Telegram, even if the Telegram came on time which it seldom ever does," ;., The Heppner Gazette has also noted our improvement and says of it : ( "I he Dali.es ChboniclE, one of our beet exchanges, is now coming out as a morning paper in addition to the weekly edition.. It is receiving tbe dispatches and is otherwise attractive and readable. Heretofore its edition was issued in the afternoon. Success to the Chronicle." Another Heppner paper, the Times, gives us the following notice.: ''The Dalles Chronicle, which here tofore has been issued in the evening, will hereafter appear every morning. Success to the new morning dailv; it is one of the brightest and best papers in Oregon.", . But we do not have to go all the way to Heppner to get com pi i men tary notices. We receive them from nearer1 home as the following from tbe' Dufur Dispatch will indicate: "The Dalles Chronicle, as a morn ing newspaper, has made a bit one that ought to bring down the entire city and a large number from , the country, to its support. Dufur will appreciate tbe new departure of the paper, because it will be able to get news before it becomes mouldy with age." Once more we desire to remind -our patrons of the convenience of receiving a paper like ours. We issue it so that it is sent on the morning stazes and trains all over the country, and for this ' reason they can receive the news twenty-four hours ahead of the Oregon jin and twelve boors ahead of the Tfciegram. Give us a month's trial and we are sure we will retain you as a regular sub scriber. Metbodltt Recrptlon Laat Night. Last eveninu at the. Methodist church a most pleasant reception waB given to those who have 'entered into the fellow ship of the' church within the present conference year, or since August last. Tbe church was tastily decorated in a home-like manner,' and ' among, the draperies might be seen the stars and stripes. The basement was well filled with one of the most congenial assem blies imaginable, among which .were fifty-three persona wbo might consider themselves recipients, having joined the church withfn the past nine months. ' A program bad been prepared, end of the numbers was a solo by Miss Mvrtle Michell and- a mandolin and guitar duet by Messrs. Parkins and Ryan..- An address of welcome was given by Mr.' L. Lane oh behalf of the church, the response to which was made by Mr. N. Whealdonin a manner wbich delighted all - and caused . everyone to feel a thrill of fellowship. The latest bulletin in. regard to the war . and the American successes bad bern' placed upon the blackboard, and after lunch had been served and the au dience bad song "America, "-the pastor gave an address on tbe subject which is now occupying our minds, the war. Mr. Wood, among other things, said all should te thankful for our success, and ever look for guidance to tbe great Gen eral of the universe. So enjoyable was the evening that none present can -fail to remember it with pleasure. A Star Performance. A tairly good bouse greeted Tim Mur phy last night, and from the time the curtain rose for tbe first act until tbe concluding scene the audience was spell bound with delight.. Mr, Murphy is indeed a clever impersonator, as he plainly showed in "Old Innocence," as well as "Sir Henry Hypnotized." In the latter, whi;m was a series of charac ter sketches, he bad more ecope to show himself the thorough 'actor, able to cope with any character. His facial expres sion can't be beat, and the manner in which , he can change' in. an instant is wonderful. His support is composed of artists, not a poor; actor among them, and if they ever plav a return engagement, the bouse will be crowded with those who failed to attend lastnight.as well as those who Leard them in "Old Innocence.

For many years Mr. Harrinmon has traveled throuch the country on profitable journeys oa an itinerant mer- enant, ana every wnero ne goes ne is given a hearty welcome by the people who depend upon his visits for the purchase of the ueces-. saries, and some of the luxuries, of life. .Mr. Harrington is a veteran of the war, and from this fact is mude the remarkable exDerience which lie related at the Trant cript office recently. ' His story, telling of the evils of which the civil war was Dut the beginning in his own, and ill thousands of other cases, was as follows : " I served three years in the 124th Illinois, enlisting at Kewanee, 111. I was in Libby Prison, aid suffered, like many another North ern soldier. Until recently I was a member ofthePrinovillePost,oftheG.A.E. " The strain of army life did its work in undermining my health, although the col lapse did not come for years. For some time I suffered from general debility and nervous ness, so badly that I could not sleep. For fifteen years my sleep was completely broken op. Indigestion, resulted and my misery in creased. My eyes began to fail, and as my body lost vitality my mind seemed to give way also. I could scarcely remember events that happened but a few weeks before. . "For two years I was unfitted for busi ness. I was just able to creep around during the greater part of this time, and there were times when I could not get up at all. My brother is a doctor, but all his efforts to help me tailed to give me any relief. I tried a number of remedies, without avail. ' Finally, having read articles retard ing cures that had been effected by Dr. wil- ams' Pink Pills for Pale People, I decided i try them. That was in- 1896. I bought a box and took the pills according to in structions. Just four days later I had the Shet-p In Ueeorvee, Owing , to the; many complaints re cently received bi;ut . the grazing of sbeepin tbe vicinity uf the Bull Kim re serve, Commissioner Hermann, of the general land office, has issued the fol lowing order, to take tfl'eet immediate ly: "Allow no grazing within closed areas about Crater lake and Mount Hood, nor in the regions about Mount Eaioier fre quented by tourists. .

' "I an advised and assured by said committee that the road and divide would be unmistakable boundaries, and if sheep are excluded from all portions of the reserves embraced by them, tbe water supply of ' Portland w'.ll be pre served, and the camping grounds and places of resort on the elopes of Mount Hood, frequented each summer by large numbers of the inhabitants of tbe neigh- j boring villages and by tourists, will be protected. Consequently the above will be the closed areas about Mount Hood." Advertised Letters..... Following is the list of letters remain ing in the postoffice. at The Dalles un called for April 29, 1898. .
