MORE OF THE SHOE FACTORY.
When the project of establishing a
shoe factory at North Dalles was first
. mooted in this city no great difficulty
' was experiem-ed in obtaining subscrip
tions from quite a number of our citi-
zens, and these subscriptions, as we un
derstand it, were simply a gift a bonus
given. to start the enterprise, which gave
the subscribers no proprietory interest
in the concern. The impulse that
prompted the subscriptions was broad
and generous, extending beyond the
. narrow confines of our own city. It was
above the narrow exclusiveness that
supposed a city or factorv on the other
side the river would, in any way be an
injury to any interest on this side. But
the enterprise has collapsed, at least
temporarily, and the well meant efforts
of our citizens have been frustrated
Whether the North Dalles factory shall
ever come out from under the cloud that
now envelopes it, time alone can tell
out it it siiouia no one will rejoice more
heartily than ourselves. Meanwhile,
we are free to say that the same gener
osity displayed by some of our citizens
. toward the temjiorarily defunct enter
prire would, if applied to the establish
ment of a shoe factory in The Dalles,
undoubtedly meet with success. If, in
order to make the industry remunerative
and enable it to put its articles on the
market at competitive rates, it is neces
sary to procure the raw material, as
nearly as possible, from the producers,
the Pacific coast is singularly situated in
this respect and Portland has no advan
tage over The Dalles in the matter of
raw material for a shoe factory, except
only in the matter of freight, . which is
more than offset by lower rents. For all
the heavy leather, used in the manufac
ture of boots and shoes, there is none
' produced iu the United States equal in
quality and price to that manufactured
on the Pacific coast. This is so well
recogni?ed by eastern shoe manufacture
ers mat our leather enters largely into
the" better class of their productions. A
uuv iactory ai mis place need never
buy a pound of eastern sole leather. As
regards upper leather, the question of
freight is a mere bagatelle, when one is
estimating the cost of the manufactured
article. A pair of shoes, manufactured
at this place might contain a pound of
leather and the freight on that pound of
leather amounting to, say half a cent
aud less when the "Regulator" begins
to run) is all the advadtage Portland
'would have over The Dalles in this re
gard. The Chronicle has not got a
shoe factory on the brain any more than
it has any other enterprise that will
build up the town and give employment
to the people. It will gladly support
anything tending in this direction. It
has merely urged the establishment of a
shoe factory because it belieyes it to be
practicable, profitable and within the
the reach of our available resources.
Any suggestion, from any quarter as to
any enterprise that will possess these
' features more intensely will have our
hearty support. Others may differ with
us as to the value of a suggestion but no
man shall go beyond us in unselfish de
sire for the welfare of our city and peo
ple. ' .
Affairs in Ireland have taken a favor
able turn and it would not at all be sur
prising if, before Gladstone should yet
pass from off the scene, he should be
able to accomplish what Parnell has so
long attempted. Contrary to a widely
extended belief, at the time of the event,
it would now appear that the Irish peo
ple never made a more sagacions move
ment than they did when they cut loose
from Parnell, after he had quarreled with
Gladstone, the liberals, the Catholic
church and the great majority of his own
conferees in parliament.
, Does it rain in Crook county? Well,
slightly. Duck ponds in the street, um
brellas and gum-boots necessary to the
comfort of the pedestrian and equestrian,
grass to such a height on the range that
the stockman's countenance is one broad
smile, farmers greatly exercised as to
where they can find storage room for
, their hay and grain, metcbants have a
jaded look from the constant stream of
. customers demanding their attention,
' butchers find beef in the streets and the
saloon keepers find that men never get
, so .wet but they can get wetter. And
. after all this ask if it rains in Crook
. county. Spokane Review.

RAILROAD
PLAN.
V - til
What la Being- Done by the- Single-Kail
and Saddle-Track Company. '
, " ': ' East Oregonian. -
Dr. J. B. Mahana, president of' the
Single-Rail and Saddle-Truck Company,
was in the city today from Free water.
The doctor returned recently from Port
land, w' ere he has been arranging plans
for railroad building, several propositions
having been received by the company in
this state. '
The first road to be built in Oregon on
the new plan will' probably be -constructed-
fi-onr" Barlow ?e-, the -4.'gardei
spot" of the Willamette valley, twenty
five miles below Portland, through sev
eral fertile praries to the Wilhoit' soda
springs, and perhaps to the coal mines.
The pioposed road is twenty miles in
length. Dr. Mahana would have com
pleted arrangements for its construction
while below, had he not been balled
home by the illness of Mrs. Robbins. - -
A pamphlet fully explaining the new
system is being prepared in a Portland
printing office. It will be illustrated
with cuts of trains and engines, giving
an idea of the plan, and have on the
initial page a handsome and appropriate
emblem of the company. -
Following are the names of some of
the engineers, civil and locomotive, who
have examined Dr. Mahana's models.
and express their public endorsement of
tne company's system : b. Kiltie, (for

Bow Do You Bow?
Did you ever watch people bow? It is
quite a study to note the variety of facia
Contortions and the divergence as to the
method of bobbing the head. ' .
' You have probably noticed the digni
fied little bend of the head accompanied
by a passive countenance. It does not
mean much, and when it does the special
graces und commendable virtues are not
indicated in the definition. A geniai
bow has as ranch to account for as a
hearty hand clasp, and one frigid recog
nition has been known to drench a sprout
ing friendship with ice water and kill it
on the spot.
Heads are often tossed back and then
bent down, and I have taken delight in
observing a man who opens his mouth
as if to facilitate the tilting of his head.
On some occasions a greeting is given
by a solemn wagging of the head, just
as people in some localities shake hands
with a motion from side to side.
With a few peopie the whole face
lights up as they greet their friends.
and to those cheery, whole souled mor
tals we give an unasked and voluntary
confidence. Lips can be curled into a
fairly good imitation, of a smile. Eyes
can be danced into a dreary semblance
of mirth. Words can be strune together
by the brain and uttered in tones of
counterfeited joy, but we can read the
falseness and mark the absence of heart
on every feature.
Those who are glad to see us rarely
disguise the fact, and those who are not
can scarcely force our belief from rest
ing upon the foundation of a perhaps
disagreeable truth. Toronto Globe.
What the Ratter Said About People. ,
A good way to judge a man is to listen
to his talk when he comes in to buv a
hat for himself. It is all right for a man
to ask his tailor what he ought to wear.
But every man ought to know what sort
of a hat is most becoming to him. No
article of a man's wearing apparel so
completely makes or unmakes him as
his hat. There are men who should
never.wear any other than a silk hat,
just as there are men who should never
wear anything in - the way of a hat ex
cept a Derby. There are men who will
never look hke anything human with
either. Some men were born to wear
nothing bnt the Boft hat.
1 would not vote for a man who does
not know what sort of a hat he should
wear without taking the advice of an
other on the subject. 1 believe it was
Shakespeare who said that dress pro
claims the man. Shakespeare knew
what he wanted to say, 1 reckon," but if
he ever paid any attention to the matter
he would have . said the hat. It is my
observation that a man will say more
foolish things when he goes to buy a hat
than at any other time. Interview in
Chicago Tribune. ..
Fire Among 8aTage Nations.
According to Pliny fire was a long
time unknown to some of the ancient
Egyptian tribes, and when a celebrated
astronomer made them acquainted with
that element and how to produce it they
were wild with delight. The Persians,
Phenicians, U-reeks and several other
nations acknowledge that their ances
tors were once without the comforts
which fire bestows: the Chinese confess
the same of their progenitors. Pompan
ion. Mola. Plutarch and other ancient
writers speak of nations which, at the
time when they wrote, knew not the use
of fire, or had just recently learned it. .'
lhe inhabitants of the Marian islands.
which were discovered in 1551, had no
idea of fire or its uses. Their astonish
ment knew no bounds when they saw it
applied to wood, most of them taking it
to be some kind of an animal which the
sailors had brought with them and which
must be fed on wood.- St. Louis Re
