The Pendleton" Tribune has secured
the services of TomSawyer as city editor
All that is required now is for the East
Oregonian to employ Huckleberry Finn
as a dispenser of city news, and Pendle
ton will certainly have the liveliest
time in newspaper circles yet known.
We are sorry to learn that another of
the old residents of the vicinity of The
Dalles is to take his departure. - Mr.

ence to Dalles citizens in regard to labor
thereon, and it is farther nnaeretcoa
that Chinese and Japs will not be em

out of town. We have as good, and per
haps better, workmen here than the
average foreign product. -
Jack Cradlebaugh, for several years
editor of Thk Chronicle, at The Dalles, i
was in the city yesterday an route to

-This morning Tom Driver's big dog
became curious as to the contents of the
reservoir now being repaired on the
ccrner of Third an'd Washington streets.
He accordingly . began ".- promenading
round its edge, sniffing as he went until
he finally became dizzy headed. and
slipped in. He swam around for a few
moments, and coming to the conclusion
that be had no desire to become a water
dog, proceeded to get out, which was
not such an easy matter. Setting up a
howl for the steam fire engine to come
and pump him out, he attracted the at
tention of two young men who gave him
the necessary assistance. He is now a
cleaner and a wiser cur. -

legislature, to pay $1.50 per day to the
"boys" who volunteered for service in
the, war with Spain and were rejected on
account of physical disability, for the
time from date of enlistment to date of
rejection, is a graceful act of compensa
tion to the young men who were disap
pointed through no fault of theirs in not
reaching the goal of their patriotic am
bition. Prof. J. M. Garrison of Forest Grove,
who has for the past twenty years filled
the chair- of penmanship iu Pacific

Last night's east-bound train was four
hours late, arriving at 4 o'clock this
morning. The delay was caueed by the
wreck in Portland. This morning's
west-bound passenger, which is due at
3 :50, had not arrived as we go to press,

o'clock. Five of the cars on the west
bound freight, which was in advance of
the passenger, jumped-the track about

jured. At noon the wrecking train was

" The larceet crowd which nas ever
gathered at the exposition building in
Portland was present Wednesday even
ing when three unfortunates were,, in
the words of a recent correspondent to
Thk Chboniclb, joined 5n the "wholly
bounds of matrimony." -Now, all We

the Bociety? Brothers Kelsay and Bolton
have volunteered to furnish the license ;
any of our ministers or justices of the
peace will perform the ceremony ; the
different firms of our city have their

which shall, tie on the blue ribbon and

pronounce the benediction "May the
Lord have mercy on your eou1."
THE "TIPPING" SYSTEM.
A Nuisance to the Tra-elinc Fubllct
V hlcll Should Cease.
A bill has been introduced in the legis
lature to prohibit the lowering of npper
berths on sleeping cars when the lower
berth is occupied and the upper one ia
not. The bill further says that all lower
I .1 1 L.- J 1 f l .. f
utr I L u 0 must ut) uinpuseu Ul UCIUIO WIIB-
Eponding upper berths shall be sold. A
fine of $500 dollars is to be the penalty if
the bill becomes a law.
Every traveler who has the extreme
pleasure of spending a night in the com
modious qnarters of a sleeping car will
say "Amen" to tnis Din. xiowever, it
would have been well bad a bill been
introduced prohibiting the "tipping"
system, now so extensively carried on.
and compelling the railroad companies
to pay their employes sufficient wages to
prevent the necessity of feeing sleeping
car porters and dining car waiters as
much as the fare amounts to in order to
obtain accommodations which should
be includeu when the railroad fare&as
been paid.
So annoying is this practice becoming
that even the merest conveniences can
not be secured without the aforesaid
"tip," and these brunettes will fairly
block the aisle as a traveler attempts to
leave the train unless in his every-wait-Ing
"paw" has been dropped the neces
sary passport.
In a hotel or diningcar, where seventy
five cents has already been paid as the
price of a meal, the hungry tourist will
eit until the train leaves, wondering why
be is not served, when he has been eo
amiss in the laws of ettiquette as to fail
in depositing another seventy-five with
the dark-eyed waiter who stands for a
few moments in expectancy.
If this nuisance to the traveling public
is continued, people who can barely" af
ford to pay railroad fare will be com
pelled to remain at home, or watch their
chance and walk the ties, where no
doubt will be found "tips" of a . more
serious nature if passing trains are not
avoided.
But 'lis not only an annoyance to
those who are not able to assist the rail
road company in paying their porters,
for 'tis not bo much the pittance (al
though it . has ceased to be a mere
pittance) which is expected- that is ob
jected to, but the audacity which is dis
played by these legalized beggars, who
go persistently remind one of their pres
ence. ' . -
