A HOPEFUL MOVEMENT.
The remarkable movement that is go
ing on over all this broad land and
threatening like a mountain avalanche to
sweep everything before it, has within it
some, things that ought to be hailed with
joy by every lover of a government of
the people and by the people. While
containing much that is "rude and
visionary it is pregnant with much that
is good and salutary. It sounds a solemn
warning to political "bossism," the
curse of American politics. It warns
the corrupt tools of corrupt political sys
terns that the time of their perdition is
at hand. Where the movement spreads
the old political parties are put upon
their good manners. We have already
seen them bow the knee in presence
of this rising sun. The public servants
of the people are beginning to learn that
they are servants and not lords, and that
s such they must answer to their mas
ters for their public conduct. The mas
ses are beginning to pay more attention
to men and lets to mere politics, to put
more faith in honesty and less in parti
sanship.
All this is promising and healthy and
hojeful, and deserves the encouragement
of every man who loves his country bet
ter than his party ; and so far as the
movement tends to purify the foul
stream of American politics and retrieve
the masses from the pernicious control
f political posHes it has our hearty sym
pathy and support. Rabid partisan
papers of either stripe will abuse and
ridicule and misrepresent in proportion
as the movement effects their local polit
ical supremacy, but the fact will still
remain, unaffected bv all that mav be
said, that the movement is exerting
powerful . influence in shaping public
opinion. There mav be danger ahead
but this danger does not lie so much in
ill-digested and impracticable notions
about finance as in playing into the
hands of wily partisans who have no use
for them further than what their votes
may bring. The stability and useful
ness of the movement depends upon its
steering clear of truckling demogogues
nd professional politicians ; once within
their clutches and under their control
the party will degenerate into the de
graded tail of a dishonored kite.
THE ANTELOPE CHARTER BILL
xieierrmg to tne communication in
another column, signed "Piper H." in
quiring as to the fate of the Antelope
charter bill, we have only to say that
the bill was introduced in the senate bv
: Senator Hilton, and passed that body
we believe on the 5th ' day of February,
leaving plenty oi time tor it to come up
in its regular order in the house before
the close of the session. Or if there had
' not been sufficient time for the bill to
' come up in its regular order our repre
sentatives could have almost at any time
: called it up, if they had been so die
posed. : We say this from the knowl
edge that such bills seldom meet with
any opposition except it should come
from the representatives of the district
from whence the bill also comes. This
much is certain, the Antelope charter
bill was never heard of after it passed
the senate and went to the house. Our
-delegation . took special lessons in the
art of killing charter bills and we sup
pose they tried their .'prentice hands on
the Antelope bill befoie attacking its
.bigger brother from The Dalles. If the
good people of Antelope must suffer two
years longer ' the lack of school house
facilities befitting the importance of the
settlement, and the social disorders inci
dent to the unrestrained license, they
have the comfort , of knowing that their
' cherished charter bill suffered no linger
ing death at the hauds of inexperienced
quacks, but was tenderly laid away be
. : neath the daisies by the skillful fingers
of accomplished artists. 11 this answer
is 'not satisfactory to "Piper H." .we
suggest that he correspond -; with the
. Hon. . G. W.i , Johnston. . of .Dufur, to
whose fostering care the bill -was com-
mitted after it passed the senate. Mean
while the columns of this journal are
open and a treatise by . that gentleman
and Senator Hilton, on "What we know
about killing charter bills" would be in
teresting and- acceptable to its many
. readers. - ' -
On last Friday and Saturday, without
any special solicitation on the part of
anv one, twenty-six new names' were
voluntarily handed in to be added to the
subscription list of this . journal. There
has not been a day during the past three
weeks that from six to fifteen names
have not "been added. The stand that
the Chronicle has taken in letting the
people know the truth, no matter who it
may hurt, has received the endorsement
of a constantly increasing constituency
and there is not a paper published in
this country today so carefully read or
so earnestly sought after as The Dalles
Chronicle. -

Pacific land want being-one of the
important factors in giving us new life.
Indeed this act was oi more oeneni to
Hood River than to anv other section,
for the reason that all the lands were in
the forty mile limit, and consequently,
lust hall oi them were railroad lands.
he forfeiture act.in other words.doubled
the amount of available lands and will
attract, and is attracting immigration.
This act was more important to tliis sec
tion for another reason which is that the
Hood River lands are the most valuable
of any included in the grant. They are
fruit lands instead of grain lands, and as
such are capable of yielding and have
yielded, when planted in strawberries as
much as $700 to the acre per year. There
are thousands of acres of land in Hood
River vallev capable of yielding as much,
or more, when water is maae avaiiaDie
for irrigating them.- Our lands are yet
held at a nominal figure but the day is
not far distant when lands will seh within
five miles of town for as much as
st'500 per acre. For apples we easily lead
Urecron. as our exhibits at tne exposition
show, and therefore the world, and the
demand forrchard products is steadily
and rapidly increasing. : Ihere is no
limit to the market and it is safe to say
that orchard products will hereafter
maintain a price greater than that which
now obtains. .Besides our possibilities
in fruit growing, we have the finest cli
mate in the state, in proot oi this we
refer to the reports of the U. S. weather
bureau. We also refer to the fact that
our strawberries are the first to
reach the Portland markets, beat
ing Southern Oregon from three days to
a week. We have less rain than west
ern Oregon, more considerably than
Eastern Oregon and the wet and dry
seasons are distinctly defined. We have
a higher winter . and a lower summer
temperature than any point in Eastern
Oregon, and the most equable climate of
any point in the state. We have im
mense timber resources, ana the nnest
water power, for manufacturing the same.
as well as bringing it from the forest to
our doors. Our situation only three hours
by rail from Portland, and that oyer the
most picturesque route in the world is
rapidlv making Hood River famous as a
summer resort, while Cloud Cap Inn,
situated at the Eliot glacier, is becoming
known to the world as one of the most
beautiful and attractive places on the
coast. It is put down in the book of
every tourist as a point to be visited and
in the near future no trip to the coast
will be considered complete, that has not
included this famous hostelry. Hood
River has no boom, never had a boom
and does not desire one. It is satisfied
to grow upon its merits, realizing that
that kind of growth alone is healthy. At
present eleven buildings are being con
structed or will have work commenced
on them as soon as the lumber can be
placed on the ground. The United
Brethren and Congregationists are build
ing each a church and several handsome
cottages are proposed. What the Idle
wilde owners will do has not ygt been
determined, but last fall they promised
to erect a large hotel here this spring.
If they fail to do so it is probable a joint
stock company will be organized to put
up a suitable building. AlarK our pre-
dictions that Hood River is going to grow

FIVE M I NDKKI) THOUSAND POUNDS.
A Big: Order for Spring: Wool hia
' Been
J ant Cloned.
Portland Telegram.
Hollowell & Coburn, Mass., one of the
largest wool firms in the country, have
just placed a large order here.
Their agent, Mr. Jones, made a con
tract with George Pope & Co. for the
purchase of 500,000 pounds of Oregon
wool, of the spring clip.- It will be ship
ped to Boston.' :
There will be a large spring clip, , as
the winter has been favorable for sheep,
and few have been lost by death. The
wool business is steadily increasing every
year, and the exportation of wool frm
this city this year is expected to be . far
in excess of any previous year. ' L
la Disease a Punishment. ,
The following advertisement, published
by a prominent western patent medicine
house would indicate that they regard
disease as a punishment for sin :
"Do you wish to know ' the quickest
way to cure a severe cold? We will tell
you. To cure a cold qmcKly, it must be
treated oetore the cold has become
settled in the system. This can always be
done if you choose to, as nature iu" her
kindness to man gives timely warning
and plainly tells you -in.- nature's way,
that as a punishment tor some indiscre
tion, you are to be afflicted with a " cold
unless you choose to ward it off by
prompt action. The first symptoms of a
cold, in most cases; is a dry, loud cough
and sneezing. The' cough is soon followed
by a profuse watery expectoration and
the sneezing by a profuse watery ; dis
charge from the- nose. - in : severe cases
there is a thin white ' coating on the
tongue. What to do? It is only necessary
to take - Ohamberiam s Uough Kerned
in double doses every hour. That will
greatly lessen the severity of the cold
and in most cases w ll enectuaily count
eract it, and cure what would have been
a severe cold within one -or two days
time. - Try it and be convinced." . 5(

Antelope, March 10,1891.
Editor Dalles Chronicle: Can you
inform your many Ckkoniclb readers,
in this .vicinity as to what has become of
the Antelope Charter Bill submitted to
our representatives, in the last legisla
tures. We have held a very interesting
school meeting where our best citizens
expressed a willingness to build a $1500
school housed providing our efforts to in
corporate the town were successful. We
are anxiously waiting for the charter but
hitherto have heard nothing of it. : -;

HOW PEOPLE SAY GOOD-BY.
Obwmtltwii on tli Subject from a TrT.
elinsr Salesman of Chicago.
"When I'm on the road," said a- trav
eling man at the Sherman house, "I
make a study of the different manners
in which different . people bid . their
friends good-by. A business man eomes
on the car with his wife, gets a seat for
her, puts her bundles " in the rack,
presses her hand, and perchance gives,
her a matter of a fact kiss and is gone,
and the whole has been done so quietly
that no one has taken any notice of it. A
young lady accompanies her young lady
mend to the train. After going from
one end of the car to the other and
back again they find a seat that will
answer. The young lady is going up
the road ten mile3 and will be gone till
the-next day. 'Well, good-by, Lil,
says one. 'I do hate to say good-by,'
says the other. 'I wish you were going
with me.' 'Oh, so do I.' 'Well, good
by.' 'Good-by.'
"Then they kiss. 'Hope youll have a
nice trip.' 'So do L 'I shall be lone
some till you come back.' 'Oh, pshaw!'
'Whafs wrong, dear? 'I forgot the
novel I was going to read on the train.'
'Too bad, but you can get another.'
'What a pretty dress that lady at the
end of the car has. 'I think the stripe
is too narrow. 'Well, I guess the train
is starting, so good-by.' Another kiss.
'Good-by.' And thus they go on as long
as the train will wait for them.
"Then there is the lovers' good-by. It
is very different from any other. In
many good-bys there is much more said
than is meant, but the lovers mean much
more than . they say. The sly look that
flashes from tFw to eye has a whole world
of meaning in it for them. And the
good-by clasp of their hands telegraphs
whole volumes of affection from heart
to' heart. And when they kiss well,
there isn't a person in the car but would
like to steal a taste of their bliss. And
sometimes there are amusing things
occur in the hurry attending the good
by salutations. A train I was on stopped
at an Iowa town one day and an honest
country crJttple entered the car. Their
appearance aud manner indicated that
they were unaccustomed to traveling.
"The wife was provided with a seat,
and the husband, who was to be left
alone, went outside and talked through
' the open window to her. She was giv
ing him detailed instructions how to
look after the household during her ab
sence. The engine began blowing off
steam and it was necessary for her to
speak ' very loud to make her husband
hear. The noise suddenly ceased just
when she was in the middle of one of her
sentences, but she did not seem to be
aware of it, and the passengers ail
smiled as she shouted on the still air.
'And don't forget to change your under
clothes every Sunday.' I don't know of
anything more mixed with tears and
smiles than are the good-bys spoken at
the railway stations." Chicago Herald.
. Statuary for the People.
Statues of fine Carrara marble are
choice and elegant additions to any room.
For those whose means do not admit of
such expensive decorations are the plaster
casta of the art stores, which may be pro
tected by enameling or painted in ivory
tints. Nearly all of the choicest bits of
statuary, such as the Winged Mercury,
the Venus de Milo, and all the well
known figures of ancient gods and god
desses are to be had in plaster, and are
often excellent imitations of the marbles,
and very gratifying to the lover of artis
tic forms. With careful usage they will
be ornamental for a long time. Bass
reliefs in plaster, hung against plush.
felt or plain silk panels, are effective and
artistic. New York Ledger.
. : Japanese Bells.
Bella were in use in China, Japan and
India long before they were known in
Europe. In the space . fronting the
temples of Nikko, Japan, there are enor
mous bells of exquisite purity of sound,
too heavy to be suspended m any tower
which this people build, and so they are
swung on low frames of stout timber,
the bell being ' only' three or : four feet
from the ground. ' " "" "'
They are rung by : means of battering
rams, made of long joists of hard wood,
suspended so as to swing by the united
aid of many human hands. They give
out soft and muffled, though deep and far
reaching, notes. Y oath's Companion.
. What Corandum'Is.
Corundum,' as the- reader probably
knows, is the oxide of aluminum, the
crude form of the sapphire, and on. ac
count of its hard surface is used to grind
metallic surfaces, particularly tools. It
differs from emery in-a greater freedom
from oxide of iron, the latter containing
about 25 per " cent, of this impurity,
while corundum contains a much smaller
proportion. The larger part of the corun
dum wheels in existence are . used by
manufacturers' of agricultural . imple
ments and of stoves: -Springfield (Mass.)

THE DiBLES.
The G-ate City of the Inland Empire is situated at y ;
the head of navigation on the Middle Columbia, and
is a thriving, prosperous city. v.,
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 twe '
hundred miles.
THE LARGEST WOOL MARKET.
The rich grazing country along the eastern slope
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 ffi
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 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
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
more farming country than
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.
