What a Wife and Mother haa to Say
The Dalles, Or., July 9, 1891.
Editor Chhonicle : If you will kindly
grant me a little space in your paper I
wish to say a few words about the 4th of
July celebration.
My first is to the farmers who were so
disappointed about the sham -battle.
Some ol them might . have been more
The importance of good roads, espec- ; disappointed had it occurred and an acci-
ially between important jioints aud on
the main lines of travel, cannot be
over-estimated. There are few things
for which n county is more justified in
going in debt, if need be, than for good
public roads, future generations will
have the use of them and may well af
ford to help pay for them. They have
a custom over in Washington whereby
some of the counties have bonded their
indebtedness for the purpose of paying
for needed internal improvements, there
by securing money on the county's
credit at a low rate of interest. It is a
pity that such a custom is not available
here. It would le a great saving to this
county if it had the ower to bond its
debt, or if it could bond itself for a
suthcient amount to build roads, on ira
portant lines of travel, where the coun
try is too jKor or too sparsely settled to
do the work. Five thousand dollars
spent on the Tygh Hill would come
' back to the people with a hundred fold
interest. A thousand or two spent on
the villanous piece of road beyond the
Huot place on Eight Mile, would give
equally large returns, in the benefit that
would result to the people who are ob
liged to use it. Five hundred dollars
cpent in widening the eastern approach
to the lower Hood Kiver bridge might
be the means of saving valuable lives
that are liable to be sacrificed any day.
The road between Hake Oven on the
John lay river, via Antelope, is in a
barbarous condition, and yet a very large
proportion of the wool shipped to' this
market comes over it, while it is the
only outlet for the shipment of produce
and supplies for a territory large enough
to make two or three counties. No one
will deny that these and numerous other
Improvements of like character are
badly needed, yet the present -generation
can scarcely effort to bear the burr
den of doing the work. . It would surely
be profitable and, it ought not to be dif-
.. licult, to secure the passage of a law to
enable the counties to pledge their cred
it for sufficient funds to meet their needs.
. In such c:i8ua these funds could certainly
be secured at a rate of interest two or
three er cent, less than the counties
have to pay on their scrip. This dif
ference would nearly keep the improve
ments in repair, without cost to the peo
ple, and would amount to little less
dent have been caused to them or their
families. Thev have only to read Mon
day's daily to learn not only that soldiers
but spectators themselves are liable to
the dangers that attend 99 battles out of.
I every 100 fought. Those of us who had
husbands, sons or brothers in the 3d
regiment were very thankful indeed that
providence interfered by sending the
wind and sand storm, thereby making
the battle impossible.
The committee deserve great credit in
deed for their work as it is without any
doubt the best' celebration ever had in
The Dalles.
The Col. also deserves praise. Who
profited by the encampment being here
the Col. or the citizens? Who had to
endure the trials and perform the duties
J of his office to the best of his ability
the Col. or the merchants? Who en-!

i Metallia Railroad Tie. . .,
Metallic railway ties r.r by iiamcaiis
a new invention, although the; railway;
companies of the United -' States have
been singularly backward, -in adopting
them. They were ' laid iUpou European
roads as early, as -1860. and . tir.ee .that"
time the number, has increased, so that:
in 1890 no less than 10,333 miles of track
were laid with thorn. .In .addition '. to.
this there wero, in' the saiiie year, 1,291"
miles in Africa,' 9,oi4."in Asia.' chiefly in
India, and 3.788 in Mexico, Central and
South Amorica; but in the United
States, a nation usually in the lead of all
improvements, there were only two
miles, these having . been put down as
experiment. Quite aside from the ques
tion of cost it would seem that that of.
safety alone is of sufficient importance
to justify the substitution of a substan
tial metallic tie for " the short lived
wooden one. with its unreliable fasten
ing. Three-fourths of a mile of track were
laid with these ties on the Chicago,
Western and Indiana railroad in Chicago
in October, 1889, and the time elapsed
has been sufficient to give results of some
reliability. The ties were laid at a point
where the ballast was light gravel, and
the traffic eighty .regular trains in one
direction each day, the heaviest engine
weighing 96,000 pounds, with 15,000
pounds on each pair of drivers. During
the time that the ties . have been down
over 87,000 trains have passed over them,
and the manager states that the cost of
this maintenance haa been so small as to
be hardly worth taking into consider

"How long are you to be here?" the

"Three weeks, she replied.
"Twenty lessons in' three weeks!" he
exclaimed aghast. "How could that be
done?
"Oh," she responded easily, "1 could
take two lessons some days."
"Yes," the teacher answered, "or you
might take the whole twenty lessons one
after the other all at once. That would
only take about ten hours."
The face of the lady brightened.
"Would you really be willing to give
them to me that wav?" she asked. 'Then
