A FREE FERRY.
We believe that the time has ' come
when The Dalles . should purchase the
franchise of the ferry boat running be
tween this city and Rockland and make
it free. We understand the owners are
willing to sell on very reasonable terms.
The coast would be a mere cagtelle,
when the advantages that would cer
tainly ensue are taken into account.
The Klickitat vallev is naturally trib
utary to this City. It is immensely rich
in agricultural resources. With all the
disadvantages arising'froiu the present
cost of ferriage the merchants of The
Dalles derive a large revenue from the
farmers of Klickitat connty and a free
ferry would greatly increase this traffic.
The people of The Dalles will remember
the immense amount of wheat that was
hauled to this city last fall when Mr.
Curtis offered the , inducement of free
ferriage to all that sold their grain to
hiin. The merchants and hotel men
will reineniber that a great deal of . the
money paid out by Mr. Curtis was spent
in this city. The farmers of Klickitat
county are a most desirable class of cus
tomers. . In fact they are, as every mer
chant in this city knows, exceptionally
so. They buy freely '.' and largely and
are remarkable for; prompt payment.
A Dalles merchant would rather credit a
Klickitat man,' other things being equal,
than one from'any part' of the country
tributary to this city. It is the part ' of
wisdom to Cultivate a trade 'like when
it can be controlled at so little cost.
The Centerville if ader has been plead
ing for a free ferry for some time. From
an able article published in its last
week's issue we extract the ' following :
It is certain that a free ferry will- help
the merchants of The Dalles, as well as
the merchants and farmers of our coun
ty by putting money in the pockets of
the farmer.1 It is also certain that if The
Dalles does not help to maintain this
line there will never be one run ; and it
is also certain that. , if The Dalles is not
brought to see this, and act,, that some
besides her men will buy our produce at
a cheaper rate, and that the money will
pass through other banks than those in
her limits. The
Leader is run in the interest of the farm
er and does not believe in 1000. farmers
selling 1,000,000 bushels of 65 cent grain
to one or two Klickitat merchants for 50
cents and then buying 75 cent goods for
$1.. - We want a. free
ferry and depend on the good judgment
or. tne citizens ot i ne Dalles to help as
out.
OUR BUSINESS MEN.
we nave orteq thought that a very
unreasonable prejudice exists in some
quarter against the monied men of this
city because they have not done more in
the way of creating, manufacturing ' and
other industries for , the developement
and progress . of . the community. We
are willing to admit that some of them
in the past may have been at fault in
this regard and may be still at fault, but
it can scarcely be said with : truth-- that
any great number of them are so infect
ed. ' It. is much to the general credit' of
this city that at no time in her history
have the rich men within her borders
shown so much inclination to give sub
stantial assistance to measures that tend
to her progress and advancement . as at
the present. The board of trade has
quietly and without a sound of trumpet
-done some excellent "work and is still
"working. Without their co-operation
the boat scheme would have ' fallen
through, and we are well assured that
nothing will be left undone by them to
secure a portage road on this side of the
Columbia between The Dalles and
Celilo If the truth must be told,1 while
there are not a few rich men in the city,
there is very little unused money. The
bankers without whom, under the pres
ent economic system the country could
not well subsist, can always profitably
lend to their full capacity. The same is
true of private capitalists, while very
few of the merchants have much money
to spare beyond the needs of their own
business. . Of the latter it can be, truth
ly said that no city anywhere can boast
of a set of men more generous and for
bearing to their patrons.'' If it be" said,
they get well paid for it. ' We answer,
..It may be, but commerce is never run
on the line of pure philanthropy, and a
set of merchants who are' distinguished
by the infrequency with ,: which"! they
drive a poor man to. the wail have a
rieht to be appreciated' and respected.
We have ample proof that the moss-back
element is fast dying and the Chkoniclb
will do all in its power to hasten . its : ex
tinction save only a few specimens of
the species for the., edification of the
antiquarian of future genenations.

Is Disease a Punishment?

''Do you' wish to know the quickest
way to cure a sever cold? We will tell
you. To cure a cold qickly, it must be
treated before the cold has become,. set
tled in the system. This can always be
done if you choose 'to, as nature in her
kindness to man . gives timely -warning
ana plainly tens , you m nature's way,
that as a punishment for some indiscre
tion, you are to be afflicted with .a, cold
unless you choose to ward it' off bv
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 prosuse watery . dis
charge from the nose, . . In severe cases
there is a "thin white coating on . the.
toneue. What to do? It is only necessary
to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in

Tennibfl Vanity.
The Tanity that survives the dseay, of
every personal charm is, of all foibles,
the most ridiculous. One can hardly
blame a beautiful woman for -rejoicing"
in the admiration to which : her mirror,
tells her she has a right, or for setting off
to the best advantage the physical perr
lections with whieh heaven haa endowed
her; but the withered grandam wio was ,
once a Hebe is not excused" by her ante
cedents for attempting the role of Hebe
in spite of faded cheeks, lack luster eyes
and hair that has depreciated from gold'
to pewter and is lacquered over to con
ceal the change.
Looking glasses tell the truth to three
score as to sixteen.. "They reflect saffron,
as faithfully as rose, and when the saf
fron is overlaid with manufactured
bloom they tell the enameled elder to
her face that it is unnatural. ' And what
the mirror ' says silently society repeats
with a sneer. It is impossible to mistake
rouge for the tint of nature. The im
posture is as apparent to every observer
as if "Beware of paint" were written on
the forehead of the pink sancered lady.
Pale young women, as well as sallow
old ones are" much given to coloring
their cheeks in this age of personal
artifice. Hundreds of girls between the
ages of 16 and 20 paint their faces at
least as often as they clean their teeth.
Never were there more counterfeits of
nature in circulation than in this our
day. It seems to be the fashion to be
spurious. New York Ledger.
A Wonderful Frog; Story.
While a large pine log was being sawed
into lumber at Brown & Hall's sawmill
near Acton, Ont., after the outside slab
and one board had been cut off, and
while the workmen were turning over
the log preparatory to "squaring" it,
they were surprised to see a large toad
poke his head out of a hole, where he
was imbedded, and where he had barely
escaped being cut up by the saw. .
How the creature ever got there is a
mystery, as he was completely encased
in the wood, with no possible means of
ingress or egress.. As the log was the
fourth or fifth up from the butt of the
tree, his position must have been at least
fifty or sixty feet . from the ground.
There is . but one. way of accounting for
the fact that he was found in the posi
tion named. He had grown up with the
tree from infancy, and was probably
hundreds of years old when the saw
awoke1 him' from his long: nap.
The animal was quite fat, and nearly
as large across as a man's hand.: The
tree in which' he was fonnd was perfect
ly sound, with the exception of a ; de
cayed spot about a foot in .length below
the hollow place in which he, was im
bedded. St. Louis Republic' "' '

Fulton one time went' to see perr i

with him.' After 'sitting' and listening'

told him that the machinery showed the ,

speed 'and slowness 1 which always comes
