A BRIGHT FUTURE.
With the building of the portage rail
road between here and Celilo the build
ine of the Hunt road on the other side
of the river, and the completion of
the Farmers' Transportation company's
rood from Columbus to a point opposite
here, there is going to bo an abundance
of work, ai.I consequent , liyely times
here during the coming . summer. . The
Dalles has had a pei iod of business de
pression owing to the unprecedented
failure of crops summer before last, and
the tremendous loss of stock a year ago.
The country around her has suffered, and
of course she has suffered with it. The
splendid crop last summer lifted a portion
of the load of debt which has oppressed
our entire people, and blocked the prog
ress and development of the country.
The winter lias been an exceptionally
good one for stock and the sheep indus
try has largely recuperated. The wool
crop will be a good one and the staple
should be tirst class. This will yet fur
ther relieve the financial tightness aud
if followed by the good crops which the
present weather gives promise of our
financial troubles will be over. The future
our city seems bright, and we cari im
agine no combination of circumstances
which will prevent that rapid growth
which now seems certainly hers. She is
to take a step ahead and a long one, and
we predict that her growth will be both
rapid and permanent. Her natural le
fiources will be developed, her surround
ing grain fields will double in area, the
sloping hills in which she is 'set like a
jewel will purple with grapes, and
Pomona will here establish, her throne.
That we have abundant coal fields whose
products must reach the Columbia at
this point cannot be longer doubted, and
when the means of transporting it
hither have been ' provided, .The Dalles
will become the principle manufac
turing city of the northeast. We have
all the elements necessary to make a
great city ; and with all this we have the
best position geographically of ) any
inland city on the coast. We may not
achieve greatness,' bat we -cannot pre
vent it being thrust upon us. . " )
..A WARNING TO PORTLAND.
An article in Tuesday's Oregonian con
cerning the shipment of wheat to the
east ought to awaken Portland's citizens
to the urgent need of an open river as no
other argument heretofore has.: It shows
that an immense amount of wheat has
been, is still being, sent from the Inland
Empire to the middle, . east and. south.
Nothing will check this but an open
river and cheaper and speedier transpor
tation facilities. To get these at once
both portage railway bills now pending
in the legislature- should be passed. . It
has leen urged that the building of the
Cascade road would benefit Wasco county
alone; but it will be readily seen that
without this road, no benefits can possi
bly accrue to other portions of the state.
Wasco county is not selfish, and cheer
fully adds the weight of its demand fqr
the portage road around the obstructions
between The Dalles and Celilo. . Both
roads are needed for complete relief from
the Union Pacific, and both are abso
lutely necessary to the development and
prosperity of Eastern Oregon. ' .'
WE HOPE: WE WERE MISTAKEN.
In conversation with a gentleman who
has recently returned from Salem we
were given some points on the legislature
which we hope are true.. He pays that
the members of this legislature - are
broad in their views, that they have the
interest of the whole state at heart, arfd
are keenly alive to the necessities of
Eastern Oregon. He is firmly of the
opinion that both ' the Cascades and
Celilo-Dalles ' railroad bills will be
passed. We hope he is correct and that
the suspicions; born of uneasiness : and
oft-deferred hope,' which our people have
indulged in, are devoid of foundation.
. We have hopes that he is correct after
reading the- ringing speech 'of .Senator
. Veatchi ' We will be pleased indeed to
note the fact that we have' misjudged
the legislature, and will certainly give
them their full meed of praise when they
deserve it. But six working days remain,
and whatever is done must of course be
done quickly.
The Honorable Jeremiah Simpson of
Kansas, commonly known as "Sockless
Jerry," got there just the' same, and we
respectfully suggest that it is entirely
too early to poke fun at him. The tans
eulotlet made their power felt ; and who
knows but the honest albeit bare-legged
congressman may yet be able to trans
late liberally the old Latin phrase and
toe et tuum.
THE BILL HAS PASSED,
The glad news flashed oyer the wires
that the Cascade railroad bill had passed
the house by a vote of 52 to 1. The bill
will have to go back to the senate to
have it concur in the amendment putting
Secretary McBride on the commission.
This will not take long and will assuredly
be done. The bill is to all intents a law
and the sun of prosperity has dawned for
Eastern Oregon. We congratulate our
selves on the passage of the bill, and' we
lift our hats individually and collectively
to the legislature of the state of Oregon.
We have been disposed to find fault at
the seeming unnecessary delay.' but
twenty years of waiting on the general
government for the opening of the locks,
aud the forfeiting of the railroad lands
has made us heartsick and hopeless. It
is a happy coincidence, that the news of
the passage -of the portage railroad bill
and the instructions to-the land offices,
which make the forfeited hinds available
j to settlers, reached us, one from the east
and one from the west, . this morning.
Once again we thank you gentlemen of
legislature and with one accord exclaim
"Well done thou good , and faithful
servants." ,.
With reciprocity established in the
past. week with Brazil and Venezuela, it
is fair to presume that the balance of the
South America republics wilf be treated
on the same terms, and that the policy
of the administration will have under
gone a change from its radical protective
ideas to the adoption of free trade be
tween the favored countries as to the
ennumerated in the treaties. As these
articles are generally the principal pro
ducts of the countries and also alxmt all
products and manufactures that could
be sold there at a profit, it amounts in
practice to free trade between this coun
try and South America. ' It is probable
also that both' Canada and Mexico, . will
join the reciprocity band, and that as far
as this continent is concerned free - trade
will have free sway. James G. Blaine is
the sorcerer that has brought about this
result, and we fully believe that it will
prove of immense benefit to all the coun
tries concerned. 1 ', '. '' '
There is no se of again digging u p the
water question, or arguing the merits or
demerits of any system' That question
has been settled. It becomes necessary
now to raise more money to complete the
system adopted and to do this we must
have the new charter. Without it, the
money so far expended is tied up with
out any sufficient Return. We must have
the new charter is. the unanimous senti
ment of the entire community.

guaranteed not to iu turn require investi

needs that same treatment . by the

and no one 'Will miss' the amount.- If
the road is practicable and there seems
to be no doubt of it,' it will bring hund
reds of thousands of dollars here. It is
a good bet, if we lose. t. :, - .:
' Now that the Cascade bill is' passed we
desire; to add our voice . to the demand
for continuing: the good work and assist
ing our brethren further last, by asking
the passage of. Senator Baley's bill for a
portage railroad from here to Celilo.
This would certainly, not be of benefit to
"Wasco alone" and would extend the
benefits of the .Cascade road to all. ' tet

A "Pon Haadl" School OIxC
Going to school in the "Pan Handle"
of Texas that little known bat fruitful
region, almost as large , as Maine, to tha
west of the Indian territory is not so
simple a matter as it is in the older parts
of the Union, if we are to accept an ac
count, which seems to be given in good
faith by a Texas journal, of a school
girl's recent adventure near the new
town of Childress, ''V'-..
About ten miles from Childress, it is
stated, there lives a settler named Col-
I .lier, who. has a daughter 18 years old
nam eg auxine,. l ne aaugnter wished
to go to school, and as there is no school
nearer than ' Childress, she was' allowed'
to journey between per home and her
school on horseback."" '
Not long ago, as she was galloping
easily along over the plain on her pony,
she suddenly saw, crouching on the
ground before her,, ready for a spring, a
panther, or "American lion," an animal
which is not uncommon in that region.
Novdeubt a good, many 16-year-old
girls, 'confronted by' such an animal un
der such circumstances, would have
turned their horse's' head and taken to
flight. Pauline was wiser than this.
She knew that an attempt at escape
meant death. "" '' . .
She had no firearms, but she had,
hanging upon the pommel of her saddle,
an instrument which is very commonly
used thereabouts a lariat or lasso. Paul
ine coolly took np the lariat, and, with
a quick and skilful hand, threw it over
the neck of the now advancing wild ani
mal. Then, with a -wrap of the coil
about the pommel of her saddle, she
started swiftly along the trail, dragging
the resisting panther behind her.
Before she reached Childress, Pauline
encountered a group of cowboys, who
were naturally greatly astonished to see
the game she had in tow. The animal,
between his choking and his dragging,
was dead. The cowboys removed the
panther's skin and had it made into a
sacqne, which they -presented to the
young girl. The animal, however, was
first weighed, and was found to weigh
210 pounds.
Girls Making- Bskby Clothes.
, Every now and then one hears of a
new instance of ingenuity on the part of
the working girls, more especially those
who belong to clubs, and so get the bene
fit of contact with wise and tactful
women. Fourteen of Miss Grace TT,
Dodge's New York dab girls have lately
gone into a very pretty enterprise. They
have established themselves on a co-operative
basis in the manufacture of dainty
baby clothes. A little money has been
put into the plan from outside. . If the
girls succeed, and anything is left above
their wages the profits are to be parted
in three, one portion for the stockholders,
one for the girls, to be divided according
to their salaries, and one for an emerg
ency and enlargement fond.
-' I do not know of a pleasanter place in
the city in which to spend half an hoar
than the sunny . little workroom above
the store, especially' if one happens in
about 4 o'clock,' when all the wee smocked
frocks and long robes are droppedwhile
quaint blue and white cups and saucers
and the shiniest little kettle are pro
duced, and everybody has a merry ten
minutes over afternoon tea. .The girls
take to their work as gayly as if they re
garded it as an endless succession of jolly
sewing 'bees. ' They are interested in
their task, interested in one another and
interested, and enthusiastic over their
novel scheme. .They are about the only
really happy looking sewing girls I have
ever known. New York Letter. 1
. To Do Imjwllh Rlk for Mourning.
' There is in ' active - operation a funeral
reform association, . every member - of
which is pledged to fight crape and to use
her influence on the undertakers, station
ers and upholsterers "with whom she
comes in contact. Oddly enough the wo
men are very young and correspondingly
influential.' Americans as a rule, go in
for the heaviest mourning, blackest trap
pings, and the broadest , bands. Their
crape is not only of the crapiest kind, but
overpowering in weight and depth. The.
livery is black; prayer books, purses, card
cases and even watches are bound in jet
or enamel, and it is not unusual to find a
women of means Irving in a boudoir cov
ered with' white crash-and hung- with
black drapery. '' s-tiw ) ! .
An upholsterer in Sixth avenue has
had three orders from eccentric widows
to paint their doors black! As a matter
of fact heavy mourning is no longer fash
ionable. : People are getting more and
more averse to crape every year. One of
the signs of the , times is the disappear
ance of the crape and streamers from the
door bells. In wealthy homes a servant
is kept at the door to receive callers.
Often a sort of cap is tied over the knob
without any ribbons at all, and where
the views of the late Henry Ward Beech
er are entertained a garland of blossoms
and foliage is fastened to the bell-pull.

Pet. - i - i . i
Next to a, rattlesnake, probably the
most unpleasant of, all the in
creation to make . a domestic pet of is
that owned by Pearl Means. Some
months ago a friend in - Florida offered
her in jest a juvenile alligator, and Miss
Means accepted it. The little saurian
was duly forwarded, and has since taken
up a large place in its mistress' affec
tions. She attends' to all its reptilian
wants with great solicitude, and it is
amusing to see the little beast a yellow
ribbon . hidden . coquettishly round its
wrinkled neck wriggling about in her
lap and waggling its scaly tail as she
strokes its head, . , . .
- The alligator commends itself for do
mestic adoption by one capital virtue
economy. Sooci isn't a circumstance to
its starving abilities. During six months
Miss Means' pet requires no food, and it
sleeps twenty-two hours out of the twenty-four.
The only inconvenience that
can possibly arise will be when the mini
ature leviathan advances in years and;
develops its natural instincts for hnrnni
moTceaux. A finger may then be snap--'
ped off the hand that caresses it before i
the hand knows where it is. New York i

point in America, about 5,000,000 pounds being
shipped this year.
. ; THE VINEYARD OF OREGON.
ji-.??3 ea'r 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.
ITS PRODUCTS.
The salmon fisheries are the finest on the Columbia
yielding this year a revenue of $1,500,000 -which can
