DEATH OF

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1905.
When Antelope first began its
struggles in an effort to got the
county scat of n new county, the
hulk of which would have loen
gained ly slicing off the most
valuable portion of northern
Crook, The Dalles could fee no
reason why the former's pica
, should not be granted, liut when
Hood River with its surrounding
fertile and productive territory
jumped in and laid claim for a
new county, The Dalles immediate
ly scratched its comlmtive bump
the Chronicle voiced the senti
ment of the community in Vhis
way, and the argument (?) is
rather amusing in the light of cur
rent events:
It is too bad that the Cascade
county boomers could not have a
county seat within a few miles of
every fruit ranch, so that these
farmers could quit work at 6
o'clock, transact their business,
and return home the same night
This is about the sum and sub
stance of the plaint of the Hood
River hot air boomers. Isn't it
terrible that a farmer has to go
eighteen or twenty miles to the
county seat, and lose a half day
in transacting his county business.
To suit such people the county
seat should be on wheels, and 1
moved around to every rancher's
apple orchard at convenient times,
ant the other inhabitants of the
county shouid pay the taxes and
journey thirty or forty miles to the
county town. Such Imsh would
be laughed to scorn by pupils in
the kindergartfns of the countrv."
dication that the fluid will be
found in paying quantity below

is revealed bv drilling. It some
times results in the conviction
that its seepage is due to broken
formation, and the oil has boon

Many Government clerks com
plain of the routine and "tread
mill" existence in a Department.
We'd, is any kind of steady work
proerIy jerformed other than
"treadmill?" How about the wo
man who marries, cooks thrf-e
meals a clay 3(55 days in the year,
makes beds once each of these
days, washes on Jfondav fiftv-two
times a j-ear, bakes bread on Tues
day and Saturday of each of these
fifty-two weeks, and so on through
the whole train of housewifely
duties. She is earning her wage?
in making a home for her husband
and children, but it is a treadmill
existence, just the same as that
of the blacksmith who pulls off
horseshoes just to nail them on
again, or the bank clerk who
counts money eight hears a day,
or the preacher who reads two
sermons each Sunday, holds prayer
meeting in the middle of the week,
and routines it through the whole
seven days visiting the sick, the
indigent, the indolent and the
backslider. After the rumor of an
added hour to the day's work had
seethed and boiled and slopped
over, and reached the Executive
Mansion, the President announced
that such an idea had never enter
ed his head. It is thus shown that
people when they have a good
thing do not realize the benefits
derived from it. This is human
nature we are all heirs to such
faults. The easier we have things
come to us the easier we want
them to come. Cline Falls Press.

When the demand for crude oil
fs taken into consideration miners
say it is astonishing that more has
not been done in the way of sink
ing prospect wells in the North
west in efforts to develop oil or
gas. There has been comparative
ly little done in this direction in
Oregon, notwithstanding the fact
that strong indications of existence
of oil deposits occur in various
localities. Last year there was
considerable work done in driving
a prospect well in the vicinitv" of
lndedendence, in which a" local
financier was the principal investor.
Whether that work will be con
tinued is not known at present
but that region is considered one
of the most promising in the state.
It ia claimed that strons surf
indication of the presence of petro
leum is found east of the Cascades,
in Crook and Klamath counties,
and also in Lake. Seepage of oil
is not always taken as a good
The Inland Empire is now tak
ing treatment from one of the
grasping trusts exposed by Thomas
W. Lawsou. At the bidding of
the corporations, Chairman Bur
ton of the river and harbor com
mittee, has decided that Ohio
canals, and not Western rivers and
harbors shall be the beneficiaries
of the present congress. For thirtv
years this same farce has been
enacted in congress. The monev
already applied to the Celilo canal
will be worse than wasted, if ad
ditional funds are not provided to
eomplete the work. Congress is
acting unwisely, narrowly and un
justly in denying the West its
legitimate requirements. It is a
travesty on civilization for con
gress to refuse to complete at once
the work on the Columbia river
bar, and on the Celilo canal.
Both of these obstructions are
barriers to the settlement and
civilization of tlm 'r..ti,n,.i
Both of them should be completed
and no excuse from congress will
be received by the Inland Empire.
It is a clear case of corporation
dominance. .No other' excuse can
