THAT STEAMBOAT LINE.
' The board of trade made both the
woolen mill matter and the proposed
steamboat line, the special ord-'rs of bus
iness for their meeting Saturday night.
Both matters are important, but in our
opinion, the steamboat line is the most
important measure to the whole people,
that has ever been before them. It
should receive the first consideration,
and some plan should be perfected at
once by which the scheme will be con'
eu mated. It will give as through rates
from the east, bring the Northern Pa
cific into competition -with the U. P.
,and cause the latter to treat us as if we
were entitled to some consideration.
With a steamboat line in operation .we
fancy the Baker could arrange to run
witn the river at its present age and
in its present condition. Jay- Gould
would suddenly discover that Klickitat
and Skamania counties were entitled to
some decent transportation facilities,
and that the patrons of the road' from
Pendleton to Portland deserved a decent
passenger service. We fancy, that in
si e.id of r.unning double headers at night,
over the only portion of the short line
thiit is well settled, that at least one day
train would be put on, and that the peo
. pie who are now treated like dogs would
receive some recognition at the hands of
the company. A corporation has been
defined to be an artificial person without
a body to be kicked or a soul to be con
demned, which is true enough, but for
all business purposes, fortunately it has
a heart its pocket. Touch that and
you have opened a living fountain of
sympathy, a well spring of joy. Its
pocket is its heart, the coin of the realm
its blood, and the only way to bring it
to its senses and prevent its excesses is
to apply the old remedy of venesection.
The boat line will be a factor in estab
lishing factoris here and should there
fore receive the first attention.
Col. Forsythe has been again placed in
command of his regiment by General
Miles. It seems that his being relieved
at all was a mistake, the secretary of
war having through the protestations of
the ultra humanitarians, been induced
to telegraph General Schofield to inquire
into the matter of killing the Indian
women and children. His instructions
to Miles were such that the latter re
moved Col. Forsythe but reinstated him
at once when he had the authority to do
so. There seems to be only one way of
satisfying people of the extreme east in
an Indian war and that is to allow the
Indian to slaughter the troops indiscrimi-
rnttfK TKh ir i r .1 i -

brave boys won undying fame by being
killed. Had the battle gone the other
way and a like number of Indians been
killed by him, .the chances are that he
would have been court martialed, and
dismissed the service. The history of
Indian warfare of the past thirty years,
proves that this statement is true, and
that to kill an Indian is unsoldierly, to
be killed by an Indian, a special privi
lege. Secretary Blaine does not seem to have
given entire satisfaction to the adminis
tration in his handling of the Behring
sea question, and it is feared that his
position is such that only war or a
square back down can settle it. It is
unfortunate that so untenable a position
has been taken, and if this country is in
the wrong, it is big enough, and we
hope has manliness enough, to say so.
There is nothing disgraceful in acknowl
edging an error, indeed it is the distin
guishing mark of the gentleman to do so.
England and America are so tied to
gether commercially that neither can af
ford to go to war with the other, nor is
there any reason why they should do so.
One of the first editorials penned for
this paper protested against the shabby
manner in which judge Claggett had
been treated by McConnell in the Idaho
senatorial fight, stated that it had all the
appearance of a trade, and that McCon
nell would draw had already drawn
the short term. The dispatches to-day
state that McConnell has drawn the
short term, and will retire from the sen
ate on the 4th of March, having been
senator for 76 days.
Portland has probably never made
any figures on the proposition, but if
the Northern and Union Pacific ever go
to war, the former can take the entire
wheat crop tributary to the Columbia
to Pasco on its boats, and deliver it at
Puget sound for considerably less than is
now charged for taking it to Portland.
This may never happen, but it will do so
if such a state of affairs arises between
the two companies.
There is a project in London to build
a ineater in 01. martin a Lane entirely
with steel. .
The dispatches yesterday state that
Hunt has at last floated $2,000,000 of his
bond. This is indeed good news, and
we hope true. - There is no doubt but
that Hunt will build the road down the
Columbia in the spring if he has the
money, and this would give relief to the
Inland Empire, giving the citizens of
Eastern Oregon a chance to get out of
the clutches of Jay Gould. Under his
management salaries of employes have
been cut down, and the service to the
public put in that condition known in
vulgar parlance as "rotten." The Un
ion Pacific has no friends now, and
when the opoprtunity arrives those who
are passive now will prove bitter and
aggressive enemies.
The discharged Union Pacific em
ployes are promised their pay by the
company, but "promises, so far, is all
they have received. Jay Gould has
been termed the "little wizard," and in
this case he is showing to an inter
ested but impatient audience the trick
of "now yoa see it. and now you don't."
The wild and wooly west distinguishes
itself this year. Idaho broke the record
by electing three senators, and Montana
is running her legislature with three
houses.
With a line of - steamboats on the
Columbia, new waterworks, and the
promise of excellent crops the year 1891
certainly has a rosy hue for the citizens
of Wasco and surrounding counties.

It was very quiet here Christmas. The

declare for the republic.'
Catholic Dignitaries About to Desert the
French Monarchical Party.
Paris, Jan 3. Cardinal Lavieerie's
declaration in favor of the French repub
lic has received the support of the arch
bishops of Tours, Cambrai and Rouen,
and several bishops and other clerical
dignitaries. In a recent interview with
the pope, Monsignor Fusette, bishop of
Kouen, urged that m the interests of the
church, the French Catholic clergy
ought to sever all connection with the
monarchical party. The monarchists,
he held, were now powerless to conserve
or found anything, while they were so
far forgetting the dictates of conscience
as to resort to weapons of corruption and
conspiracy. His holiness remarked that
the republican clergy ought to be satis
fied with the sentiments of Cardinal
Lavigerie's toast. Fuzette replied that
Cardinal Lavigene has struck a most
fortunate blow in behalf of the church.
and which could not identify the cause
of religion with opposition to an estab
lished government. Fuzette's letter re
porting this interview is countersigned
by many bishops, and is tant-amount
to a definite submission of a large sec-
tton of the clergy to the republican
government.
Puget Sound Towns' Dull.
Towns on Puget Sound are distress
ingly poor. The Whatcome Reveille
says: "When this town lot craze has
fairly passed and every shack fails to be
the commencement of o mighty city,
every streak of rust a transcontinental
railway and every drop of salt water a
port oi entry, where "the fleets of the
world may ride at anchor," then we
may expect our farmers to produce
enough beef, butter, eggs, fruit and veg
etables to supply the home market. A
country with one crop is doomed. Coal,
lumber and iron are all verv well fnr
capitalists, lumberman, coal miners or
worKers oi iron,- but we are talking
about farming. The town lot craze
will take care of itself, our commissioners
will take care of the roads, and the bonds
can go to the devil. With good county
wagon roads the railroads will be ex
tremely reasonable in their cnarges and
courteous in their conduct of business.

THE DALLES
The Grate City of the Inland Empire is situated at
the head of navigation on the Middle Columbia, and
is a thriving, prosperous city.
ITS TERRITORY.
It is the supply city for an extensive and rich agri
cultural an ' grazing country, its trade reaching as
far south as Summer Lake, a distance of over two
hundred miles.
THE LARGEST WOOL MARKET. ,":
The rich grazing country along the eastern sloe
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 'OP 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 other fruits, apples, pears,
prunes, cherries etc., are unsurpassed.
IT 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 valley 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 farming country than is tributary to any other
city in Eastern Oregon.
; Its situation is unsurpassed! Its climate delight
ful! Its possibilities incalculable! Its resources un
limited! - And on these corner stones she stands.
