The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
After all a town is surprisingly little
.helped by simply being a way station on
a trans-continental line of railroad. . It
can scarcely be said, with any great de
gree of truth that our connection with
the east by a through line has done any
thing to built up The Dalles. It would
be nearer the truth if wesnid that this
connection has, in ' some respects,
' wrought an injury. In saying this, we
by no means lose sight of the many im
portant advantages we have reaped. . The
country has been developed in a way it
could never have otherwise been, but
the population of The Dalles has not
been increased and if the volume of bus
iness is larger, as it Undoubtedly is, it is
not the railroad we have to thank for it.
The day the Regulator will be able t
start pn her trip to the . Cascades, and
make connection with boats on the lower
' . river, will le a more important one for
The Dalles' than was the day this city
' made connection with the east by ,a
trans continental railroad. A more im
portant day still, will be the day when
this city shall become the terminus of a
railroad system that shall send out its
feeders to Sherman, Gilliam and Crook
' counties, and gather here for shipment
east Or west, the products of a territory
'as extensive, if not more so, than all the
New England states. When tliat day
comes, other factors of development in
the line of manufactories will take care
of themselves and this city, so long half
dormant will wake up to a new life and
energy she has never known before.
May the day be hastened:
At the late meeting, in Minneapolis,.
' of the National Editorial Association a
number of excellent women from Mary
land, Virginia and Pennsylvania had a
paper read urging that action ought to
: be taken towards the suppression ir om
inission of all details in reporting such
-oriiuos as guicidaa.acandals and breaches
- of faith and honor. We cannot help
. thinking that these good ladies display
an over-squeamishness and false modesty
that will hardly meet public approval.
There is, however, a very proper limit
to such things, that all newspaper men
who desire to run a clean and respecta
ble sheet will observe. Nothing should
be allowed in a news-paper that would
. bring the blush of shame to the cheek
of the most modest. Nothing should
appear that a refined and cultivated gen
tleman would be ashamed to utter in the
presence of an equally refined and cul
tivated lady.
There are frequently details in connec
tion with the crimes mentioned that no
respectable journal will publish. There
are others that are just as proper sub
jects for publication as any matters of
news that may be published. The trou
ble sometimes lies in a surfeit of these
things.. Who does not get tired of see
ing the dispatches filled with every de
tail of the latest slugging match or of
the training and hourly condition and
movements of the sluggers, to the exclu
sion of good, wholesome and important
news. In a word, it may be said with
truth, as a contemporary observes, that
"the publication of word pictures of vice
and crime is pernicious only when it
holds up vice and crime in a pleasing
and tempting manner or when a journal
gives too much of its space to these
matters and thereby confesses its inter
est therein.
" The friend who cries with you finds
out a great many things you will regret
when your eyes are dried. Atchison

- DEALER IN I
WATCHES, CLOCKS,
. A California Mining Camp In '49.
The gambling tents were large and
contained not only gaming tables- but
billiard tables." ..At ohti of these I was
once playing billiards with a man named
H . A few feet from na. raised upon
a platform made for the puiiKwte, were
seated three Mexican mnsicians,. playing
guitars: for these places were always
well supplied with instrumental music.
The evening seldom passed without dis
putes, and pistols were.quickly drawn to.
settle quarrels. 'Upon any outbreak men
would rush from all parts of the room,
straggling to. get as near as possible to
the scene of action, and often they paid
the penalty for their curiosity by being
accidentally shot. '
While II and I .were engaged in
our game we could hear the monotonous
appeal of the dealers, "Make your game,
gentlemen, make your game. Red wins
and black loses. Suddenly bang, bang,
bang went the pistols in a distant part
of the tent. The usual rush followed.
Bang, . bang, again, and 'this time- the
guitar dropped from the hands of one of
the unoffending musicians, who fell for
ward to the ground with a bullet through
his neck. His friends promptly under
took to carry him past us to the open
air. Our table was so near the side of
the tent - that only one person at a time
could go between it and the canvas. "
H i was standing in the way, just
j in the act or striking the ball with his
cue. wnen. one or the persons carrying
the wounded man touched him, with the
request that he move to one side. He
turned, and saw the Mexican being sup
ported by the legs and arms, the blood
flowing from his neck. Then, with the
coolest indifference, he said, "Hold on,
hold on, boys, till I make -this shot.
Then, resuming his former position, he
deliberately finished his shot. Dr. C. B.
Gillespie in Century. .
To Oo Away with Exercise.
Too much dumbbell exercise is a weari
ness to the flesh; and matutinal swing
ing of the Indian club becomes, sooner
or later,irksome. The idea cf relieving
i the tedium of daily exercise while in
creasing its benefits is a good one, and
it is now placed at the service of the
public in a practical form. A polished
wooden box -contains the appliances in
cidental to the ordinary exercising ma
chine, and. is equipped,. in addition, with
a magneto -electro apparatus capable of
transmitting an electric current to ten
or more persons at the same time, of be
ing graduated to the endurance or pleas
ure of one person, so that while the vari
ous forms of exercise are being gone
through an electric current of any re
quired strength can be imparted.
It is claimed that electricity can thus
be applied under improved and more
pleasant conditions than formerly in
many cases where its use has been
proved to be most! beneficial. Attention
is called to the fact that telegraph op
erators, accountants., typewriters, pian
ists. aDd all whose work is apt to cause
muscular pains and stiffness in the hand
and arm, can by the use of this exercis
ing machine reap a twofold advantage.
The machine has a bath "attachment.
This is placed in a bath, and when the
foot is placed upon it an electric shock
of graduated strength is imparted to the
bather. St. Louis Globe; Democrat.
Improvement In Rolled Steel.
A protracted series of experiments
made at Siemens works, m England.
with the new process of manufacturing
steel tubes, show conclusively, it is
claimed, a remarkable adaptation of the
system to the manufacture of pipes for
the conveyance of water, gas and air at
high pressure, the manufacture of Bteam
boilers, boiler tubes, and especially for
bridge construction, owing to the light
ness and strength of the tubes of com
paratively thin steel, and which, it is be
lieved, will enable the engineer of the
future to considerably increase the span
of bridges.
The simple as well as remarkable pe
culiarity . of this process . of shaping
metals consists in the fact that, instead
of avoiding any twist of the fibers, it by
one operation gives the greatest possible
twist to the fiber with a corresponding
stretch of material. It moreover may,
assisted by a mandrel, increase the outer
diameter of a bar, instead of diminishing
it, as do all other rolling mills, but the
tube produced by this new method is
generally greater in diameter than the
bar from which it is formed, and thus
combining, as it does, all the various
systems of rolling, it is claimed to pos
sess the advantage of a construction in
which all hitherto known rolling proc
esses represent a part. New York Sun.
Wbo Haunts You?
, Now think a minute. Is there not
some unknown person" whom you are al
ways meeting in this great city without
any reason for it? I have asked a great
many people, and find that nearly every
body is haunted by some stranger. Just
at present I am haunted by a red headed
girl, who has freckles and a. turn np
nose and wears a light gray dress. She
turns up at all sorts of unexpected places.
No- matter where I go to lunch that red
headed girl is sure - to pass me on the
way. Every day or two I meet her in
the "li" car. I change the line, but snre
as fate there she is. If 1 go out between
the acts at the theater that red headed
girl walks by. And so it goes, until
now 1 have got to absolutely dread her.
The worst of it is that she is a nioe
looking girl and never seems to see me.

Blasting by Electricity.
A novel method of blasting by elec
tricity has been invented by a Swedish
engineer. As described, he employs a
volta arc produced between two carbon
rods placed parallel. When the arc. is
moved close to the . spot where . blasting
is to be effected an intense local heat is
created, ' followed ' by expansion, which
has the effect of splitting the rock. New
