A SHOE FACTORY FOR THE
DALLES.
It needs no argument to prove the
'value of manufacturing industries to the
growth and prosperity of the city, as
everyone will admit that no city can
ever become great and prosperous with
out them. The local press of this city,
to do it justice, has never been backward
in urging the importance of establishing
factories at this place but has met with
little response, largely, we presume, be
cause of the lack of necessary funds, and
because all surplus monies could, at all
times, be safely and profitably loaned
out on good real estate or personal se
curity. It may not, however, be useless
to call attention to one industry that
might be established here, that if we are
correctly informed as to the cost of the
plant, is surely within the means of .a
city of more limited resources. No one
will doubt that if the shoe factory at
. North Dalles had been established on
this side the river it would today, have
been a running if not a paying institu
tion. The question occurs to the writer,
Why could we not have a small shoe
factory in The Dalles?. The capacity of
the North Dalles shoe factory is said to
be 600 pairs of shoes a day, but the
whole manufacturing plant, we are in
formed, only cost $4,288. The boiler
and engine cost something like $1,800,
while the machinery, complete in every
detail for the manufacture of the shoe,
in all its stages from the moment it is
cut from the hide till it is burnished and
ready for the packer, cost only $2,488 ex
clusive of the freight charges. Such a
plant is adapted to give employment to
eighty persons, that is, when it is run at
its fullest caDacitv. but of mnran fivn
persons or any other number of employ
es, each capable of doing every class of
work could run the whole factory, if it
were thought best to begin on a small
scale. In such a case, as less power
would be needed it might be rented, thus
doing away with the cost of the boiler
and engine. The amount of capital re-
quirea 10 run ine Dusiness would, of
course, depend largely upon the amount
of business intended to be done. There
is no question as to the readiness with
which a market call be found for the
products and there seems as little doubt
that the business is profitable. A shoe
manufactured at North Dalles which
sold readily in competition with eastern
goods cost, at what was considered a full
figure $1.19 and sold for $2.00. Another
that cost to manufacture $1 73 sold for
$3.00. Another that cost $1.51 sold for
$2.77, and the smallest profit on any of
the lines made was on a shoe that cost
$1.35 and sold for $2.00. The prices of
course include material, wages and every
thing. We have them from Mr. Hall
who was foreman of the works and they
surely prove that there is money m a
shoe factory and thai, no great amount
of money is needed to start one on a
.small scale.
The Attorlan says : "From a strip of
water iu front of the city, every year,
without any preparatory sowing or cul
tivation Astorians annually lift $3,000,
000 worth of the most delicious of all fish
the famous Chinook salmon which is
found from St. Petersburg to Cape Good
Hope; amid Alpine snows or Arabian
sands, and is prized by all the world
alike." From a strip of water above
The Dalles a few fishermen, after con
siderable expense in building wheels and
leads, (occasionally, under favorable cir
cumstances, take a few tons of fish,
whereat these three million dollar
chaps, at the mouth of the river get very
mad and cry out about the awful havoc
and slaughter of the fistr wheels.
The government lately awarded con
tracts for Indian supplies amounting to
over $2,000,000 which called for blankets,
clothing, woolen and worsted manufac
tures, calico, hardware, household uten
sils, agricultural implements, provisions
an1 mwi'n - PnDaan t..-ta n..w.a
up the result: "For all manufactured
goods the prices were as low or a shade
lower than last year; for beef , flour and
other agricultural products the prices
were somewhat higher."

Miss Vernona Jarbeau, in "Starlight,"
is an actress of note. She is the personi
fication of motion, ever changing, sur
prising, alluring. The grace of action is
in her modulating voice, in the tossing
of her head, in the arching of her neck,
in the movement of her limbs, in the
pose of her body, in the pucker of her
lips, the glance of her eyes, the wichery
of her tones, in the archness, friskiness,
pertness, the inimitable style of her be
ing. With vocal attainments of high or
der, with facial beauty, a handsome
woman, she'possesses the chic that would
set all Paris wild with delight and that
popularized her in every city she has
appeared. She has equally the insou
ciance and artliness of the Italian peas
ant girl warbling spontaneously rustic
melodies at the "Spur of Vesuvius."
The exquisite grace of the French
grisette singing "Pi Ouit," the saucy
'Spanish senorita dancing with castnets
and undalating movements, and the
topical singer, archly and rougishly in
quiring at the end of each verse satiriz
ing some popular folly, "That's enough,
don't you think?"
Miss Sarbeas verstility is sufficient
in itself, with such a character as Star
light, to hold the audience ; but she sur
rounded herself with a company seldom
seen in musical comedies.
A Fish Hatchery Site.
The Washington fish commission,
comprising Governor Perry, State Treas
urer Lindsley and James Crawford, a
short time ago held a conference with
F. C. Reed, chairman of the Oregon state
fish commission, shortly after which
they tagan to look for a suitable location
for the hatchery. This they have found
in the upper Okanogan county. Salmon
will be tried first, and trout afterward.
From this point they can keep the Col
umbia and all tributary rivers stocked
with healthy fish. The exact location
will be kept a secret as long as it is on
surveyed land, but work will shortly be
commenced. It is thought the $15,000
appropriated will run the hatchery until
the next legislature, when another ap
propriaiion will be made. Seattle Press

The Laborer Should Be Honored.
The real dignity of labor is well sym
bolized and set forth in those single acts
at the beginning or end of a great work
which represent to the imagination the
whole enterprise. -
The corner stone of a great building is
generally laid by some official digni
tary who, in an un accustomed apron
and with a trowel which he use., clum
sily, makes a pretense of doing the actual
work of putting the stone in place.
Crowds stand about to witness the work,
and orations are made and hymns sung.
The knocking away of the prop which
sends a vessel off the ways .and into the
water is an event of equal consequence
and interest, , because it represents the
noble task of constructing a great ship.
When one of the greatest engineering
works of all time was completed the
construction of the Pacific railroad it
was regarded as a great honor to drive
the last spike that bound the last rail to
the earth; and the spike which served at
least temporarily for - the work was
made of silver.
Emperors, kings and presidents start
with their own hands the machinery of
great industrial exhibitions, themselves
typical in a high degree of the import
ance of manual labor.
In a certain sense it would be more
fitting that these ceremonies, which con
centrate into a single instant's act long
periods of hard labor, should be per
formed by one of the real workingmen
who are engaged upon the enterprise. It
is they who do the work, and they might
well claim that the honor of the key
ceremony belongs to them.
This was what was done, indeed, when
the first blow of the pick was struck in
the construction of the buildings for the
World's fair of 1893 at Chicago. Youth's

Where Gold Goes To.
A considerable part. of all the gold
which goes to India never returns. Hav
ing been obtained in the west by the sale
of exported productions, it is retained in
the east as realized profits, wealth stored
up, and to a moderate extent for nse in
the arts, for the rest as a representative
of value on the credit of which traders
buy and sell with the bills of exchange
they issue and the book credits they
open, and settle np the differences with
the silver money of the country.
But the vast stock of gold accumulated
there undergoes no diminution. There
is no ebb and flow under the reciprocal
action which commerce enforces iu the
case of countries trading together on a
common metallic basis. The three mill
ions sterling (or thereabout) of gold bull
ion which India annually adds to her
store are, under the monetary law of
that country, just as much lost to the
nations of the west, by being with
drawn from the general commerce of the
world, as if the money had been lent to
a South American republic.
Between the years 1835 and 1889
(April) this depletion amounted in value
to 130.292.758. Between that date and
the month of September, 1890. a further
accumulation, to the value of 5,069,
272. took place, bringing this portion of
the gold treasure of India up to a value
exceeding 135,250,000. Blackwood's
Magazine.
Ibsen's Curious Figure.
I cannot recollect having ever met a
man of more peculiarly striking appear
ance than Mr. Ibsen. He reminded me
to a certain extent of those fabulous
creatures the gnomes, who play such an
important part in Scandinavian myth
ology, and are vividly described in the
old songs of the Ed da. He is a man of
less than medium size, but very heavily
set. The upper part of his body is very
large in proportion to his lower limbs,
but still small in comparison with that
immense head, which, with its bushy
hair, white as snow, overtowers the.
compact bodily frame. "
A heavy beard of the same color would
encircle the face if it was not for the fact
that Ibsen keeps his chin shaven, a dis
tinction also enjoyed by the upper lip.
1 wonder if Mr. Ibsen knows that by
wearing bis beard in the manner de
scribed he shows a very strong chin and
a mouth of classic delineation. Irresist
ible is the charm of his eyes, which are
of a deep blue, like the color of the sea
on the shores of his beautiful native
north land. Louisville Courier-Journal.
A Glance at London Society.
Take the vast London society. It is a
stiffnecked dress parade in which one
meets one's best friend once a fortnight
and strangers in proportion. People
never know each other well and are al
most suspicious of those they do know.
Invitations are sent out from one to two
months ahead and people come and go
without making a visible impression, and
there is none of that merry familiarity
which makes American life so enjoy
able. A dinner is a set affair, with no gen
eral conversation and a total absence of
what the French call esprit; in fact,
most of the Englishman's pleasures are
of the macintosh and umbrella kind.
The Londoner is always guarded and
suspicious of the stranger, and I don't
wonder, considering some of the Ameri
cans he has had shoved upon trim. But,
after all, there are too many people is
London; it is impossible to expect free
dom, familiarity and hospitality among
such a multitude. Cor. Chicago News.
It Can't Be.
' A New York surgeon who ha made a
specialty of nerve centers says the music
of a hand organ is pleasant to at least
ninety-nine out of every hundred people,
falling upon the nerve centers and tym
panum of the ear with soothing effect.
He says that when you meet a person
that cries out against this sort of music
you can safely put him down as a falsi
fier and deceiver. Detroit Free Press.
