Scott it McCoy, of Grant, shipped
thirty-five carloads of wheat one day
last week. Cars are getting plentiful,
-which indicates that the worst of the

farmers whole lots of money, and the
same state of affairs is liable to arise any
.year tinless.the Columbia is utilized for
carrying away our wheat crops.
The ball given by the German Gesang
Verein, "Harmony" this evening at the
Gymnasium hall, promises to be one of
the most entertaining affairs of the kind
ever given in The Dalles. The music
will be furnished by Professessor Birg
feld's full orchestra, which guarantees
perfection in that line. The Gesang
Verein will render a few songs during
the evening which will prove a rare
treat, and our citizens should not fail to
ihear them.
Citizens of 'Grass Valley are circulating
31 petition through Sherman county ask
ing that a portion of Wasco county be
added to it. The part they want is not
large, but would extend the southern
boundary of Sherman to Buck Hollow.
The reason given is that the present line
divides up their neighborhood. Moro
nd that portion of the country wants
it while Wasco does not, the difference
of opinion being in a measure caused by
the fact that it would add to Moro's
strength in the county seat fight.
It is very probable that there will be a
change in the passenger trains on the
U. P,. and that another train will be put
on running from Spokane Falls to Port
land, and passing here in the daytime.
A change is badly needed as the passenger
. service between Pendleton and Portland
is worse than none. Most of the time
the cars are crowded with through
passengers and those getting in the train
t way stations can stand up. The Union
Pacific has this section so it can't get
away from it, and consequently treats
us Like so many cattle.

in most cases by two Sundays. The
good old pipe, which has furnished its
soporific comfort for months past will be
abjured and laid carefully away, where
it can be found again, should it be needed.
The Chronicle wishes each and all of
its readers a Happy New Year, and
Ability to keep the fact that they have
A. Significant Meeting.
A meeting of representatives of the
the Grange, Farmers' Alliance and
Knights of Xabor was held last eve
ning in - the; Knights of Pythias'
hall, In this city. The meeting, which
was in no .sense a political one, was
characterized throughout by the utmost
harmony. The meeting thoroughly
protested against the slowness of the
work at the Cascade locks and the con
sequent delay in opening the Columbia
river to navigation, and. passed resolu
tions urging the coming legislature to
appropriate $50,000, for the buildiug
of a portage railroad, and pledging their
support, to the utmost of their ability, to
the proposed line of boats between this
city and the upper Cascades. Resolu
tions were also passed in favor of the
State owning, printing and publishing
its own text books for use in the com
mon schools, and the furnishing of
them to the pupils at actual
cost and for furnishing at the
actual cost of production, to all who
wish to buy, copies of the revised
statutes and session laws of Oregon.
This was considered in every way better
than the proposal of the Press Associa
tion to have the laws printed in the
newspapers of the several counties at
the expense of the state. The meeting
was almost unanimously in favor of the
repeal of the mortgage tax law, while at
the same time it opposed, are double
taxation, the repeal of the law allowing
deduction for indebtedness. Your cor
respondent would gather from the tone
of the meeting that the farmers are in -dead
earnest in favor of an open river as
their only salvation from the incompe
tent service and destructive rates of the
present monopoly.
A Farmers' meeting.''
The meeting of the producers yester
day at the Cosmopolitan parlors was
not as many supposed, of a political
character. . It was purely a business
meeting for the purpose of discussing
principally the transportation problem,
and matters incidental thereto. The
matter of putting a line of boats on the
river was discussed and the sense of the
meeting was that this should be done.
The farmers are thoroughly in earnest,
and the meeting was a spirited one. A
committe was appointed to meet with a"
committe of The .Dalles board of trade,
and as a member expressd it, "find out
what the Board thinks we ought to or
can do." The same gentlemen said:
"I am willing to agree to ship all my
grain and produce by the new line pay
ing for one year, at least, the same rates
charged now by the railroad." and
there are hundreds of others who will do
the same thing. Those who have
money will help and those who have not,
but have property, are willing and
anxious to lend the scheme credit and
give it patronage. The Board of Trade
should take action at once and either
decide to place the boats on the river
or abandon the scheme so that our
farmer friends can look elsewhere for aid
and devise some other scheme by which
the river can be utilized. The time for
action is at hand, and the success of the
affair depends entirely upon the meas
ure of promptness, energy and determi
nation with which the Board of Trade
acts.
Kliooting at Mitchell.
Johnny Bilyeu arrived here yesterday
after a doctor, bringing the news of a
shooting scrape that occurred in front of
the dance hall at Mitchell about 1
o'clock yesterday morning. Mr. Bilyeu
knew but little of the' circumstances of
the difficultv more than Amis and his
brother had some trouble with the
Magee brothers in front of the hall and
three shots were fired, two by Marsh
and one by Bob Magee, one of which
took effect in Amis' right groin. Mr.
Bilyeu left shortly after the shooting,
but when he left it was supposed that
the Magees had skipped out, neither of
them having been arrested. Dr. Bel
knap left yesterday afternoon for
Mitchell to attend the wounded man.
Sheriff Booth also went over to look
after the men who did the shooting.
Ochocc Review.
Nine carloads of cattle from Idaho,
bound for the Sound were taken off
here last night to be fed. The company
has decided to have all stock for Sound
points taken off here, and the cars
cleaned and sanded. If this is not done
here, it must be in Portland and it is
much cheaper to have it attended to
here.
Mr, Z. P. Jones, of Moro, is in the
city. He is the gentleman in charge of
the Sherman county toll road, and in

about hiscollecting one and two dollars
toll for a two-horse team are incorrect.
The court allows him sixty cents but he
charges only fifty conts.

out the rapid development of the north
side of the river. They are financially
strong and able to put into practical
operation improvements of very large
magnitude. The next ninetv days will

FINE FARM TO RENT.
THE FARM KNOWN AS THE "MOORE
Farm" situated on Three Mile creek a bout
two and one-half miles from The Dalle.-', will be
leased for one or more vears at a low rent to anv
responsible tenant. This farm has upon it a
flood dwelling house and necessary out build
ngs, about two acres of orchard, about three
hundred acres under cultivation, a large portion
of the land will raise a good volunteer wheat
crop in 1S91 with ordinarily favorable weather.
The farm is well watered. For terms and particu
lars enquire of Mrs. Sarah A. Moore or at the office
. An Ecien. Out Town.
On the occasion of the visit of Presi
dent Harrison to Topeka, Kan., the ho
tels, restaurants and boarding houses
were overrun by the great crowd. Peo
ple clamored for food as the crowd clam
ors to get into a circus, and guards were
placed at the dining room doors to keep
back those who could not be at once ac
commodated. A gentleman ' who had
tried every public place found at a late
hour in the afternoon a restaurant in an
out of the way place. He went in and
asked if he could be fed. The proprietor
said he had. been eaten out.
"Ill give you a dollar for a glass of
milk and piece of pie," said the stran
ger. "Ain't got no milk and ain't got no
pie," replied the hungry proprietor.
f What's that in that showcase isn't
that pie!" asked the stranger, pointing
ont a pumpkin pie. The proprietor look
ed at it in a. languid manner and an
swered: "That's all we have left for my
family. If I sell that they won't get
anything.' -
m give .you a dollar for the pie,"
said the hungry stranger, growing des
perate. The proprietor took oat the pie and
was in the act of handing it over when
his jaw opened and about half the pie
disappeared, the other half being handed
over to the stranger, who refused it.
"Sell it for a quarter," said the pie
man, realizing now that his chance was
growing smaller. But the stranger re
fused the rugged moiety and went away
sorrowful and as hungry as when he
came. Chicago Tribune.
Sleep for School Children.
We all know how much greater is the
need of children for sleep than of grown
persons, and how necessary for their
good it is to be able fully to satisfy this
need, but how great it is generally at
any particular age of the child is very
hard to define exactly. The amount
varies under different climatic condi
tions. In Sweden we consider a sleep of
eleven or twelve hours necessary for the
younger school children and of at least
eight or nine hours for the older ones.
Yet the investigations have shown that
this requirement lacks much of being
met in all the classes through the whole
school. Boys in the higher classes get
but little more than seven hours in bed,
and as that is the average it is easy to
perceive that many of them must con
tent themselves with still less sleep. !.
It is also evident from the investiga
tions that the sleeping time is diminished
with the increase of the working hoars
from class to class, so that pupils of the
same age enjoy less according as they
are higher in their classes. It thus ap
pears constantly that in schools of rela
tively longer hoars of work the sleeping
time of the pupils is correspondingly
shorter. In short, the prolongation ot
the working hoars takes place for the
most part at the cost of the time for
sleep. Professor Axel Key in Popular
Science. ... - ''''
Nnmlwr Both Doors.
The golden rule, "Do Amto others as
yon would have them do onto you," is
violated in a petty fashion in New York
which is intensely irritating. Many peo
ple when finishing their houses neglect
to put the numbers' on " properly, with
the result that strangers in search of a
particular residence wander up and
down the semi-lighted street cursing
volubly. This absolute neglect of the
law, however, is not as irritating as the
practice of painting the name on the
outer door and omitting it over the inner
door. Until 10 o'clock the greater num
ber of storm doors stand open. r
The light from the hall chandelier
illuminates the inner transom, but the
outer one is a doll blank, on which noth
ing can be read. You stare at what you
know are figures, finding yourself utterly
unable to distinguish them, and you are
reduced to the ignominious course of
ringing the bell and asking what the
number is, which . invariably produces
on the face of the servant who appears
an expression of a conviction not flatter
ing to your sobriety. Good Christians
there be who put the number on both
transoms may their homes be exalted
and their examples imitated! New York
Taiegram.
The Swiss President.
Under the Swiss system the president
of the confederacy has no more author
ity than a member of 'the cabinet. The
head of the government is a council
elected by the parliament. This council
selects a chairman from its members.
who thus becomes president of the re
public, and assumes a cabinet portfolio,
usually that of foreign affairs. He is
clothed with no powers of appointment
to office. His co-members of the cabi
net, even the judges of the supreme
court, are all elected. He can serve but
a single year; hence his time and tal
ents, instead of being devoted to filling
offices and seeking a re-election, are
given to the service of his country. He
is helped in his efforts for pure and eco
nomical government by a corps of trained
statesmen. S. H. M. Byers in Harper's.
Business.
The scholar is always ready to pick up
a thought, and a born man of business
is ever on the lookout for a trade.
A good natured coachman overtook a
tired looking peddler, and offered him a
lift to the next town. At the end of the
ride the peddler, by way of emphasizing
his thanks, offered the coachman the
pick of his wares, but the proffer was de
clined. "Well, then," insisted the enterprising
pack carrier, "if you won t take a pres
ent don't you want to buy something?''

TOg end the long dispute which has
been waged with reference to the right
designation of the metal which is now
