The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
The cry of the people of Northeastern
Oregon and Southeastern Washington
and Western Idaho for a open river to
the sea cannot remain much lonsrer un
heeded. Now that Portland has so far
waked up to her own interests as to vote
with practical unanimity for the consolir
dation of her three cities it would be per
fectly natural for her to go a step further
in the path towards commercial
supremacy and demand an open river.
The importance of such a step has been
demonstrated in a hundred ways. Port
land is no longer a provincial town but a
great and flourishing commercial me
troolis. In the past she has allowed
the cities of the Sound to outstrip her
both in enterprise and population. The
revelation of the census was the goad
that waked her to the consciousness that
she had been asleep, and this revelation
was a blessing in disguise. But she
must keep awake. There are no more
towns of any importance to be annexed
to supply a census deficiency. Her
future growth must come from natural
causes, through the .enterprise and
energy of her citizens. It cannot any
longer be brought about by an act of the
legislature on a vote of the people. The
one thing that more than anything else
will conduce to the continued increase of
population, wealth and commercial
supremacy is an open river. A portage
road at the Cascades, valuable as we
hope it may prove, is but a temporary
expedient. Portland ought to unite
with us in demanding that the govern
ment works shall be finished by contract.
The outrage of an army of government
obstructionists playing a game of crimi
nal retardment and squandering of the
people's money while a soulless and
greedy monopoly fattens off the people's
poverty should no longer be endured.
Portland ought to help us in this work
as well as 'in that of a portage road
around the dalles of the Columbia. Our
helplessness pleads for us. Our geoj
graphical and commercial relationship
pleads for us and Portland's interests as
well as ours demand it.
The election in Portland last Monday
is a lesson for all of us. It shows what
the people can accomplish when they
only try. The triumph over political
bossisin and corruption was complete.
When the best citizens turned out and
fought for consolidation from morning
till night they got it and they got it
triumphantly. Such a spectacle de
moralized the bosses. Their ammuni
tion was not adapted for bagging that
kind of game. The effects were con
tagious. The enthusiasm rose to fever
heat, and the bosses were routed, horse,
foot and dragoons. That's the only way
to rid a free people of the course of cor
rupt government.
WUo Is He?
Express.
' A fellow with $500 worth of "the right
of eminent domain," at the Cascades,
demands that the state put up a bonus
of 2000 for the use of it ten years, for
the portage railway. He will" soon find
himself in the fix of that other fellow
who spelt down a country school in Miss
ouriout and injured.
The Cascade portage railway will be in
operation July 27th, 1891. The state
will have to exercise its right of eminent
domain and have a portion of the right
of wav appraised and condemned accord -'
ing to law. Engineer Farley will go east
to procure the rolling stock as soon as all
the work of grading is well under way.
The state will equip and run the road.
The employes will work for the state.
One locomotive and enough cars will
handle the business at actual cost. Now
Mr. Gould, see if the producers will be
prevented in getting their grain and
wool to market at reasonable rates.
A correspondent of the East Oregonian
writing from the Vansycle, Or., says:
"It is refreshing to read extracts from
The Dalles Chronicle and see that The
Dalles is now willing to let the truth be
known in regard to how the government
work is carried on at that point. Major
Handbury has a good thing and of course
he wants to keep it. Doubtless he thinks
as Mr. Vanberbuilt said, 'The people be
damned.' It was whispered at Salem
last - winter when the following House
Concurrent resolution No. 19 was offered
on the 29th of January by Killian that
Major Handbury was the cause of having
. it pigeon-holed in the senate until the
20th of February, and it was the hardest
kind of work to get action on it then, and
was it 7ot tor the assistance rendered by
Messrs Holer of the Capitol Journal and
the correspondents of the Oregonian, to
gether with senator Hursh, senator Wil
lis and his friend, major Handbury would
have kept the resolution buried. Of
course major Handbury does not want
the work let out by contract. It would
be likely to throw him out of a good big
fat job.' "
A HAY OFF.
A Correspondent Gives an Account of a
Visit to Mr. Seufert' Place.
Editor Chronicle: Monday our
worthy young judge announced to such
jurymen as were not engaged in looking
after some spoiled horse of plaintiff, or
defendant that they could be excused
until tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock.
This meant a day off; and was seized
as an opportunity by the undersigned
and Mr. Vanderpool, to visit the Seufert
Bros., ranch east of The Dalles to find
out how fish are caught, and the pos
sibilities of growing fruit in the Colum
bia river canyon.
A horse and buggy being secured we
were soon at the place designated, where
acres of cherry trees full of ripening
fruit just met oar gaze being through
this part of the orchard toward Mr.
Seufert's residence, on our right is a vine
yard on the left cherries. Some of
them luscious with ripeness, others green
enough to make the stomach ache to look
at them. Going to the cannery we found
Mr. Seufert who took us in charge and
gave us every opportunity to see the
works he and his brother have erected
and the fruit trees they have grown. He
explained to us that the catch of fish is
light, as they have for several days not
averaged above three or four tons per
day. We watched a wheel for some
time but the sign was not right, the water
too clear or some other factor wanting,
was in vain, we were only convinced that
the thing could be done.
We next took a stroll through the
peach and apricot parts of the orchard.
Here we found a system of cutting back
had been followed so that each limb ap
peared as sturdy as a post. These trees
are in no danger of breaking down or
of being, flopped about by the wind and
thus robbed of their fruit. Every tree of
the peach variety is full of fruit in good,
healthy condition. The apricots have
but little fruit on them. Among a part
of the peach trees are quite a lot of
strawberries which have been ripening
for the past two weeks. The transfor
mation, wrought by these industrious and
enterprising young men in the past six
years is truly wonderful. What was
then principally a waste of sand has be
come a beautiful, productive orchard
that will bring in a profit told in thous
ands of dollars.
The Seufert Brothers are pleasant,
agreeable gentlemen and well deserve
the success their industry, skill and
perseverance have attained. At Mr.
Seufert's house we were kindly enter
tained by himself and lady where we
spent a pleasant hour as conversational
ists. They are both pleasant and enter
taining and show that they are heartily
engaged in the enterprise that is making
such a fine showing for this country.
Mr. Seufert is a lucky man indeed ;
lucky in his . enterprises and lucky in
having found so genial and pleasant a
partner with whom to share the joys
and sorrows of life. Aaron Frazier.
"The name McGinty," so The Dalles
Chronicle man tells us. and he oueht to
.know, "has been honored in Irish storv
8i nee Eochid II was crowned King of Ul
ster on Jacob's Pillar by the prophet Jer
emiah ;" but it has remained for a resi
dent of The Dalles to cast discredit upon
it. One Jemmy McGinty, in order to
secure a contract for building a reservoir,
has denied his nationality, and changed
the spelling of his name. The only re
deeming feature of the whole affair is
that he got the contract. Oregonian.
Immigration Under Federal Control.
Washington, June 2. Secretary Fos
ter today took the immigration bueiness
at the ports of Baltimore, Philadelphia
and Boston out of the bands of state
boards of immigration and transferred
it to federal control. This step, it is
said, is rendered necessary because of
the fact that under the act of March 3,
1891, the several state boards of im
migration were practically shorn of all
authority over immigration matters.
xne cnange places all details of the im
migration business throughout the coun
try in the hands of the federal govern
ment as was done at the port of JNew
York in 1889 and renders the svstem
uniform.
Through Trains on the Canadian.
Tacoma, June 2. There is no lontrer
any doubt that the Canadian Pacific will
commence immediately to run through
trains into Whatcom and make the
steamship Premier's service a daily run
between that citv and Tacoma. Chair
man Moffatt, of tile Puget Sound Steam
boat Association, said this morninsr that
he has it on the authority of Captain
John Irving, manager of the Canadian
.Facihc Navigation Company, that the
Premier's run will be so changed.
A Serious Shortage In Peter's Pence.
Rome, June 2. The pope has charged
Archbishop Walsh to ask Cardinal Man
niug to bring about, if possible, an aug
mentation of the contributions to Peter's
pence from Great Britain. The Vatican
commission, which has been inquiring
into the financial condition of the papal
household, has found that the Peter's
pence is 10,000,000 francs short of the es
timated amount.

K;irvels at Brussels. '
The finest of all lace is Brussels. ' Bel
gium is the hicemakors chosen home.
One-fortieth of the whole population
is engaged in it The government
supports 900 lace schools, to which
children are sent as young as five years.
By the time they are ten they are self
supporting. Brussels is a pillow lace.
Indeed, Barbara Littman, the inventor
of pillow lace, lived and died there.
The pattern, drawn npon parchment, is
fixed firmly to the pillow, pins are stuck
along the outlines, ari to them the lace
is woven by. crossing and twisting the
threads, each of which ends in a bobbin.
Lace two inches wide requires 200 or
300 bobbins. A piece six inches has
sometimes as many as a thousand. - The
thread is hand spun from the best Bra
bant flax, in damp, dark cellars, whose
one ray of light falls on the spinner's
hand.
Naturally spinning is very unhealthy,
and experts get high wages. The best
yarn from a single pound of flax fetches
over $3,000. For filling flowers and leaves
fine soft cotton is used. Grounds, too,
are often made of it. Elaborate patterns
are made in sections, and joined together
by the most skillful workers of all. As
the lace is never washed before it is sold,
the most exquisite neatness is requisite
in everything connected with it.
Still, as months are consumed in mak
ing very handsome pieces, the work
turns dingy in spite of the lace worker's
best efforts. To remedy that it is some
times dusted with white lead in powder,
and turns dark at contact with gas of
sulphur in a way to exasperate the
wearer. New York Herald.
Why the Mafia Exists In Italy.
The origin of the Camorra and Mafia
murder leagues ceases to puzzle travel
ers who have visited the rural districts
of southern Sicily. Nearly all the real
estate of the coast plain from Syracuse
to Cape Bianco is in the hands of a few
aristocrats, who have deprived their ten
ants of their panes as well as of their
circenses, of the right to hunt, to fish, to
train fighting cocks, without a special
license, as well as of the more argent
necessities of life. The streets of the in
land villages generally resemble the gul
lies of a parched out mountain river, and
the houses are mere mud piles, roofed
with flat stones and wattles of broom
corn, and surrounded by rubbish heaps,
where mangy curs and sore eyed chil
dren compete for scraps of animal re
fuse. ,
Laborers, returning from a day's hard
work, sit down to a meal of maize paste
and salad, washed down with the water
of the slimy village cistern. The profits
of little truck farms barely satisfy the
demands of the tithe collector, and in
dignation meetings are promptly sup
pressed, but midnight conventicles are
less easy to prevent, and the starving
villager would as soon defile the statue
of Garibaldi as to betray a Capo Mafioso
who has befriended him at the expense
of an oppressive landlord. Felix L. Os
wald in Philadelphia Times.
A New Use ajku- Matches.
I watched a train hand stagger through
the coach with eyes closed, and a tearful
face a case of cinder. He met a com
panion, who instantly felt in his vest
pocket, poised himself, made one motion,
and the suffering brakeman at once went
back to his poet relieved. "How did
you remove that cinder?" I asked. "With
a match," he replied. Producing one, he
split it to a point with his thumb naiL
"This looks like a harsh way to treat so
tender an organ," said he, "but it is en
tirely safe. Turning back the eyelid,
the speck only needs to be touched by
some dry substance in this case the
match to adhere to it. We have to help
one another so a dozen times a day."
"But why not wait until stopping?" I
inquired. "Too busy then. Besides,
there is no need. It is as easy on a train
in motion as on the ground when one is
accustomed to it, - After raising the arm
for the operation, one needs to get the
swing of the train. This car runs
smoothly, so I did quick work." Spring
field Homestead.
Parisian Bouquets.
Please to heed what an autocrat direct
from the salons of Paris has to say on
the subject of bouquets. No more "com
posed bunches of flowers" are carried by
the fashionable women in that dizzy
capital. A beribboned bouquet is re
garded as "bad form," only the Parisian
has another phrase for bad form, and a
dame of the haut monde now enters a
salon carrying a spray or branch of
some flowers in season, such as lilac or
mimosa. In this land of extravagance,
where all the flowers are always, in
bloom, she might hold a spray of orchids
or a bunch of roses,' but the arranged
bouquet, jamais! The idea is to resem
ble the young martyrs in the pictures,
these said martyrs generally holding in
one hand a palm branch. Perhaps our
florists will catch on to this new wrinkle
and have some extraordinarily lovely
blooms prepared for their fair customers.
Boston Herald.
Pleasantly Expressed.
A humorous writer thus describes bow
he got out of a bad scrape at the police
court: The next morning the magistrate
sent for me. I went to him. and he re
ceived me cordially, said he had heard
of the wonderful things I had accom
plished by knocking down five persons
and assaulting six others, and was proud
of me, for I was a promising young man.
Then he offered a toast, 'Guilty or not
guilty? I responded in a brief but elo
quent speech, setting forth the impor
tance of the occasion that had brought
ns together. After the usual ceremonies
1 was requested to lend the city forty
shillings.
'A Speculation. -
"Chollie is in great glee today."
"Why?"
"He owed his tailor $365 for five years,
and the tailor got mad and put the ac
count up at public auction."
"I should think that would make Chol
lie mad.". - ,
"Oh, no. He went to the sale and
bought it for eighty-fire cents." Har
