applications for pensions are seven
times the cumber referred in 1601 2.
If there is the usual reciprocity
among senators and congressman, and
pension sharks are permitted to pur
sue their calling as they have in the
past, it is safe to predict that a good
part of these applications will be
acted upon favorably.
The army in the Philippines is to
be increased, and campaigning in
the tropics is likely to result in
rraterial injury to health. The
Philippine pension list for death,
wounds anl disease is therefore like
ly to be lntge. If one is to judge by
what Las Uen done for the ex-union
toldiets, there will be a very heavy
out rather slow business. So explicit
must everything be that a whole
piinted page of the rolls is devoted
to explaining just how they must be
made out.
In connection with the rolls is the
pay account, which shows tow much
money the soldier has drawn, how
much is charged for ordinance, etc.,
aud bis signature shows that he has
received what was coming to him.
Where a soldier desires to buy the
arms he has been using, be is gener

charged up to him at less than cost,

questions, onj of Lic'u is:

The "Cool" Degrca.
The summer months seem to have a
particularly depressing eflVct on the
various lodges of our city and their
members are prone to seek other haunts
than the lodge room. However, a num
ber of Maccabees who gathered at their
headquarters last evening conceived the
idea of introducing the "cool degree,"
which will no doubt bo a popular one
during the heated term. The workings
of this degree, however, are necessarily
exemplified at an ice cream parlor, and
therefore the Maccabees who were at

was a ro'.d shake, but is the best kind j

Yesterday afternoon the last of the
newspaper people, who have been our
guests for the past eleven days, left the
state to return to their eastern homes
by way of the Canadian PaciOe, and to
say that they take away much informa
tion which they brought not with them,
docs not express it. Of course they have
read of Oregon, but what is reading
compared with experiencing all that
Oregon affords. Their eyes were opened
and they beheld what was a revelation
to them, and will not be forgotten as
they return to tell their readers not of
the "wild and wuolly," but of the refine
ment, the geniality and the bounty
which they encountered.
Of course our readers are anxious to
know what their impressions were of
Tho Dalles, and while we were in a
poeition to determine, yet, to speak
paradoxically, we were not, for well
they knew that were it possible to find
a flaw in our city, they dared not
mention the fact in the presenco of
DaP.eeites. Bet evidently cuch was not
their intention, for having come over the
sandy desert above this place, The
Dalles was to them as an oasis, where
they received perhaps the beet spread
of the trip and were permitted to learn
and see, to a certain extent, just wtmt
our resources are. The warehouses,
filled with wool, were a wonder to many
oi them, en j when told that the straw
berries and cherries (which were the
largest and best flavor they were treated
to on the trip) were grown on what
looked to them like barren bills, they
scarcely realized the fact. They were
also told much of our wheat, fruit anj
salmon industries.
It was a bright thought that the large
salmon was displayed in the dining
room at the Umatilla House, for it
served to call their attention to that
industry as nothing else could have
done. At the Cascades the train
stopped and they were permitted to see
the best wheel on the river catching
salmon. This greatly dellg'.ited all, and
it was amus.ng to Oregouiaus to tee one
editor lug a huge fish to the train and
carry it to Portland.
Many of our far eastern visitors were
anxions to see the Indians, and this was
the only place on the trip where the real
blanket article was displayed, fur while
the Chemawa Indian school was visited
Tuesday, they of course are more civil
ized, and even the little boys and girls
were able to give them their autographs.
So the many kodak pictures of the siwaeh
taken (for thev were particularly accom
modating about posing, which Is not a
usual occurrence!, will be labeled at The
Dalles, which although not an import
ant fact, will cause them to remember
our city and the many other things they
saw and heard while here.
One thing we mast not forget and
that is, one of the moat prominent editors
ot the state of Missouri said that he
saw the prettiest girls in The Dalles of
any place on his journey, and the prin
clpal feature of their beauty was the
brig'.itnei-s of their faces. So The Dalles
girls will be remembered.
With our city w ill be associated the
thought of the beautiful flowers, which
were first showered upon them here,
and con tinned throughout their visit in
the state. We could scarcely credit the
acertion of an Illinois editor who said,
"I'd five $0 if my mother had this
beautiful rose In her hand this morn
ing." Our wonder was deepened when
welhoughtof the scarcity of the edi
torial $5 pieces.
Among the moat pleasant recollections
of the'r trip will be those of The Dalles,
for although they were here but a short
time and on a very inopportune day,
they learned much concerning the city,
and many old uni n.w friends were
greeted here.
Not only Portland, but the entire state,
outdid herself in the entertainment of
I her guests, and we heard not a few ex-
press the deaire to return and locate.
We have received an advertisement
which will be of incalculable value to
1 our stale.
We must add that to the O. K. & N.
Co.. which really did itself proud, is due
much of the success of the entertaining.
The Southern 1'ucirk aiso did nobly tor
our visitors.
