John Dillon opened an engagement at

comedy entitled, "Wanted, the Earth,"
to a large and enthusiastic audience.
The play, as might be inferred from the
title is a wide sweep in extravagance,

if costs $76,000 this year to print the
state laws. The common, ordinary,
everyday, tax-paying people get no
chance to flee those laws. They know
nothing of their existence till "one of
those laws is violated and they are hauled
up for punishment. But they pay the
$76,000 for printing them. This is one of
the fool things that makes "farmers'
alliances." The one thing benefitted by
the present seventeenth centurv style of
doing business is the state printing office.
There is a rumor afloat that there are
about 2000 Indians camped across the
Columbia opposite the mouth of . the
John Day who belong to the same tribe
and are sympathisers of the two Indians
in the Condon jail. It is said these In
dians have made threats of going to Con
don and liberating their brethren there
from the county jail, and that they are
waiting for the "dark of the .moon" to
do bo. Sheriff' Wilcox was notified of
the report, We understand, by a reliable
citizen of Blalock, and the sheriff has
notified the militia of the county that
he will- call them out in case these In
dians come to Condon on said mission.
It is also reported that John Scott and
Goo. West have joined the Indians in
jail in the "ghost dance," and while it
is a. matter of , some speculation as to
what the feeling of the warriors down
on the Columbia is, there is no doubt but
those at Condon, including Scott and
West, would like to "break out." Fos

The Military Spirit. ' .
Competitive drills between the mili
tary companies have a tendency to ele
vate the national guard service and
ought to be encouraged. The state of
Oregon has a special pride in the
national guard organization because it is
composeu of the flower of the land, and
it is the state's main dependence in case
of war or of domestic violence. ACCOrd-

teer militia is the only army a republic
needs ; Vet, it is proper that the militia
should be kept in .training and thus be
in. readiness for any sudden emergency.
It is likewise a good policy to keep the
martial spirit alive among the young
men of the country. The chivalric ideas
associated with a military lite always
exert an elevating influence. Your true
soldier is always the true gentleman.
The sense of honor is exceptionally high
in military circles. The brave man is
invariably the manly man. Thus, aside
from the public advantage in keeping up
a state military organization, the effect
on the social life of the community' is
beneficial. '

THE 'EW CITY ORDINANCE.
An ordinance entitled an ordinance to
. provide for the submission of the pro
posed issuance of twenty five thousand
dollars of water bonds to the legal
voters of Palles city.
Whebeas, the legislative assembly of
the state of Oregon, at its. last biennial
session passed an act authorizing Dalles
city to issue its taxable bonds to -the
amount of $25,000 for the purpose of
completing and perfecting the water sys
tem for said city, now in process of con-,
struction and providing for the submis
sion of the snme to the tax paying voters
of said city : and
Whebeas, the city is indebted to .the
water fund in about that sum for money
belonging to said fund which .has been
used by. the city for other purposes and
which has never been refunded.
Now Thebefobe, the people of Dalles
c ity do ordain as follows :
Section 1 . That a special election be
held in Dalles city on the 13th day of
April 1891, which election shall be "held
in the manner in which other city elec
tions are held, at which election the
proposition to issue the bonds of said
city to the amount of $25,000 shall be
submitted to the voters of said city who
are qualified to vote thereon under the
provisions of the act.
Sec. 2. Said election shall be "held at
the usual voting places in the different
wards of said city and the polls shall open
and close at the same hour as other city
elections, and. a like number, of judges
and clerks, shall be appointed by . the j
same omcers ana in tne same manner as
in such other elections y and the recorder
of said city shall give ten days notice of
said election in the same manner as
notice is given for other city elections.
Sec. 3. The ballots to be used at said
election shall be obtained by the recorder
at the expense of the city and shall con
Lain the words : "Shall the city bonds
for the completion of the water works, to
the amount of twenty-five thousand dol
lars be ipsued?" and immediately below
said . words shall be - provided a blank
space ; and if the voter desires to cast
his ballot in favor of issuing the same he
shall write the word "Yes" thereon, but
if he shall desire to vote against the
issuance of the same he shall insert the
word "No."
Sec. 4. Said vote shall be canvassed
as in other city elections, and if it shall
be found that a majority of the legal
voters at said election have voted in the
affirmative, then said bonds shall be is
sued and sold as by law provided, and
the proceeds thereof shall be turned over
and become a part of the water fund of
said city as provided by the act afore
said. '
Sec. 5. It is further provided that,
upon the sale of said bonds and the re
cei pt of the proceeds thereof by the water
fund,, the claim of said water fund
against the city for- money belonging to
said fund heretofore appropriated to
other purposes shall be fully satisfied and
discharged... - ...........
The Oregonian says the statement that
in Kansas and Nebraska a mortgage falls
due every ten months is significant not
more.of the sagacity-and greed of the
money lender, however, than of the folly
of the borrower. The man who mort
gages his land without intelligently pro
viding against the day of reckoning that
is one, three or five years away, has no
right to complain if the. mortgage he was
. eager to secure and the equivalent of
which he has used is foreclosed at fhe ex
piration of the specified time. In calling
attention to a condition of this kind, and
exclaiming, in tones of pity, that verge
upon the tragical, "Lo, the poor farmer !"
the political sensationalist exposes a lack
of prudence and forethought in those
Western farmers that weakens mater
ially the point that he attempts to make.
- A rUTE ESTABLISHMENT.
The Furniture Store . and I'ndertaklng
' Establishment of Crandall and
". Barget.
Fours years ago in a little "hole in the
wall" on Second street near Washington
Mr. I. I. Burget and Chas. Jesse. Cran
dall opened a furniture store and two
months later in April, 1887 the firm of
Crandall & Burget branched out into the
undertaking business. The. firm rapidly
made friends and grew into popularity,
and today at No. 166 Second street they
have three floors of a 26x100 brick block,
packed to repletion with everything
carried in first class furniture rooms.
Their stock is complete, in every partic
ular. They 'manufacture their ' own
lounges and do a' good deal of upholstery
work, butlheif.. furniture is purchased
in Portland and "from Eastern manufac
turers'. '"Their light ash sets are obtain
ed in' Portland and they find it to te a
fact that'Oregon ash is superior 'to and
sells' better than Eastern goods'of the
same "description; which is' just one
evidence of the well-known fact that in
many things Oregon leads the world.
''as funeral "di'bectoks.
Crandall and Burget have coine to the
front more rapidly in their undertaking
department than anything else and they
stand today far in the lead in that line
of business, and nearly every fine funeral
in The Dalles for the last year has been
managed by these popular gentlemen.
They are both practical embalmers and
make a specialty of that kind of work,
and their success has been so marked in
embalming that they feel they can con
fidently guarantee anything they consent
to undertake in that line. We are glad
to know that have liecome known as the
leading funeral directors for they are
deserving of their success.
Crandall & Burget find in looking
over their books that they did a much
larger business during March of this
year than they did last, and augur from
that that while the times are regarded
as dull in this section at present, the
volume of general business is increasing
from year to year. . We are glad to
chronicle the success of so live a firm as
the one at present under discussion, and
to know that fair dealing and keeping
abreast of the times will establish a firm
on a solid basis as well in The Dalles as
any other city in the land.
We Ought to Exhibit.
A movement is on foot to hold a con
vention of Eastern Oregon county judges
to devise ways and means for making a
suitable exhibit at the world's fair.
Whether the movement will accomplish
any practical results we know not, but
one thing we do know, the state of Ore
gon cannot afford to remain the butt of
ridicule and contempt for a whole nation
by refusing to make some provision for
an exhibit worthy of her resources.

broken.
