ANOTHER CRANK.
The Eev. Dr. Carrindane recently
went from St. Louis to New Orleans and
became pastor of the Centenary Meth
odist Episcopal church, the wealthiest
Methodist church in the citv. He has
made one or two sensational moves
since his pastorate began but Suuday he
laid all previous attacks in the shade by
preaching a strong sermon, and an
nounced that he intended to make a
vigorous war on secret societies, which
he declared to be the curse of the age
lie has made a national reputation by
his two year's fight against the Louis
iana lottery, and, we presume, feels that
he is able to win any battle he may take
a hand in. Ire is sadlv mistaken, and
will soon discover that he has collided
with something harder to knock out
than a lottery ticket, though it is hard
enough of course to beat any gambling
game. The Itev. Dr. is talking about
something of which he knows nothing,
lor ll he belonged to those secret
societies he would not fight them, and if
he does not lwlong to them he does not
understand lus subiect. He makes an
ex-parte case, and having set ur a series
of imaginary premises, he forms conclu
sions therefrom. He is like a gnat on
the back of an elephant trying to form
an opinion as to the interior construc
tion of the animal from the phenome
non of the hide. The greatest curse of
the age is not secret societies, not by
several rows of apple trees. The great
est curse of the age is the egotistical
mouth organs who imagine they know
it all, and that they have a mission to
correct all the imaginary evils of the
sc) run inunaane anairs with a
crank by a rule of their own. The Rev
Dr. Corridnne will no injure the secret
Hocmes, out ne will probably cause dis
sension and bickerings in his church,
and effectually destroy all possible use
xuiness lor himself.
A SERIOUS DRAWBACK.
It is a misfortune that the O. R. & N
roau selected the Columbia river route
for its line east of this point. There are
many reasons why it would have been,
would now be, better if the line had
been located twenty miles or more south
oi the river. It would have avoided
the drifting sands of the Columbia which
are a source of perpetual annoyance, it
would have developed a strip of country
twenty miles turther south than is now
settled, or double the amount now set
tied south of the river. But of more im
portance than either of these it would
have exhibited to immigrants the extent
and productiveness of Eastern Oregon.
They would have seen had. the road been
so built waving fields of grain, and bunch
grass hills covered with cattle. The
country would have been thickly settled
and every avaidable acre made to pro
duce. As it is the immigrant sees noth
ing but the forbidding cliffs which rise
from three hundred to six or seven hun
dred feet above him as the tratn sweeps
clear across the Columdia. At the sta
tion he sees piles of grain but he cannot
understand w here it comes from, and
will not believe that the tops of the hills
he sees around him aro all good farming
land. He sees nothing to induce him
to stop off as he passes through and
certainly nothing to induce him to return.
The Astorian says that the Southern
Pacific company are going to build from
Albany to Astoria to connect with the
Oregon Pacific, which it thinks the
Southern Pacfic will purchase. Follow
ing this line across the Cascade through
the magnificent intervening valleys to
the. Snake river, it will continue along
to a connectionjwith the Central Pacific
at Ogden. 1
President Polk, of the National Farm
er's Alliance, has named Friday, Feb
ruary 6, 1891, and Washington, D. C, as
the place of holding the first meeting of
the National Legislative Council which
is composed of the national president
and the presidents of all the state
alliances.
The latest news under the sun is the
proposition to build an immense tannery
at North Dalles, one of the largest in the
United States. Whether the promoters
of the North Dalles enterprise make any
money out of it or not is a matter of
little concern to the average citizen, they
are, however, making taxable property

The sensible man buyeth real estate

If the people of The Dalles, and the
press of Wasco county, Were more in
earnest and determined in their demand
to have the locks at the Cascades com
pleted, there is no doubt they would have
long since been open to the public. There
seems to have been too much fear that
the annual or semi-annual allowance
will not be made in the river and harbor
bill if the truth is told. If a committee
were demanded and an honest one ap
pointed by congress, there is no doubt
but these locks would be completed in
two years. The thing is a most infam
ous fraud and there is no use disguising
the fact any longer. The locks ought to
have been built for half the money al
ready expended, and they should have
been open ten years ago. Procrastina
tion may be good for a few people who
get a suck at the appropriation everv

locks have become such a necessity that
the delay in their completion is an an

traffic equal to fully $200,000, and we
think the next legislature ought to do
something substantial, not wind or nn.

; The Gate City . of the Inland Empire is situated at
the head of navigation on the Middle Coltiribia, and
is a thriving, prosperous city.
ITS TERRITORY.
It is the supply city for an extensive and rich agri?
cultural and grazing country, its trade reaching as
far south as Summer Lake, a distance of over tvo
hundred miles. " . v
THE LARGEST WOOL MARKET
The rich grazing country along the eastern slona
of the the Cascades furnishes pasture for thousands
of sheep, the wool from which finds market here.
The Dalles is the largest original wool shipping
point in. America, about 5,000,000 pounds being
shipped this year.
THE VINEYARD OF OREGON.
The country near The Dalles produces splendid
crops of cereals, and its fruits cannot be excelled It
is the vineyard of Oregon, its grapes equalling- Cali
fornia's best, and its othfi-r -fw,
prunes, cherries etc., are. unsurpassed.
. ITS PRODUCTS. '
The salmon fisheries are the finest on the Columbia
yielding this year a revenue of $1,500,000 which can
and will be more than doubled in the near future.
The products of the beautiful Klickital vallev find
market here, and the country south and east has this
year filled the warehouses, and all available storage
places to overflowing with their products.
ITS WEALTH
It is the richest city of its size on the coast, and its
money is scattered over and is being used to develop,
more tanning country than is tributary to anv other
city, in Eastern Oregon. :
Its. situation is unsurpassed! ; Its climate delight- r
Its possibilities incalculable! . Its resources un- i

And on these corner stones she stands.
