Press Dispatches.
.1 FA III OFFER.
Our evenininjr contemptible objects to
the appointees of. Governor Pennoyer
to attend the Suit Luke City convention,
on tin ground that they are not repre
sentative men and don't understand
their business. Well, now, so far as the
editor of the C'iiroxici.k is concerned,
he will gladly resign in favor of Mr,
Michell if that gentleman will promise
to read to the convention his fanioux es
say on the destructive effects 'of the Hes
sian flv on the orchards of Oregon.
.1 COMPARISON.
The traffic of the Suez Canal for 1800
was 3,389 vessels, registering 6,890,014
net tons an against 3,425 vessels and
6,783,187 tons for 1886. . The traffic of the
Sault Ste Marie Canal, during the 234
days navigation was open in 1889 was
9576 vessels and 7,221,933 net tons and
in 1890 it was 10,557 vessels and 8,454,435
net tons that is to, say, in 1S89 the lock
of the "Soo" passed eleven per cent,
more tonnuge that the Suez Canal and
in the 288 days that the canal was open
last year 22.8 per cent, more tonnage
passed through it than through the Suez
Canal.
WILL NOT STAND IN THE WAY.
The Chronicle has intervied Messrs.
Liebe, Dufur and Johnston, three of the
directors of- the Dalles "and Deschutes
Portage Railway and Navigation com
pany and they all express themselves
freely as beingg perfectly willing that
the Portland chamber of commerce
should build the proposed portage.
What they want is a portage on this
side the river, where, it is believed it
can be built cheapest and where it will
do the most good, and any prospect of
personal profit is a secondary considera
tion. If Portland or the chamber of
commerce want to build the road let
them get in and do it. The directors of
the portage company will not stand in
the way.
RAILROAD MATTERS.
The last issue of the Wasco Newt says :
'"The construction of a railroad through
Sherman county or into the interior of
it, is a matter that our people should
not let rest until the question is finally
settled and we have a road into the
county. Just now the Portland chamber
of commerce has two propositions on its
hands, either of which, if accepted
would result beneficially for Sherman
county.
' If The Dalles jwrtage projectors con
struct their road into Sherman county
up Spanish Hollow, or bring their influ
ence to bear to get a rond into the county
it matters not who builds it The
Dalles road is the one we want. The
silly twaddelthat the Spanish
Hollow route is an impracticable one,4t
rot of the rankest sort. Any man who
has ever been over a railroad through
rolling or mountainous country and has
ever been up Spanish Hollow, knows
. that no doubt exists as to its practicabil-
ity.
Sherman county is ready to join hands
with The Dalles in securing the construc
tion of this line, providing the matter
does nut end in nil talk and on paper,
Shermun county wants a railroad and if
there is a shaddow of a chance we will
have it this fall, and if not this fall by
this time next year at the fartherest. If
The Dalles people will put their shoulder
to the wheel , Sherman will endeavor to
get in a push occassionally and help the
entsrprise along. We have started in to
get a railroad and if The Dalles wants
. the wheat trade of this county she must
help us get it.
This railroad question is one that
should interest every one in the county;
it is a question for which bickerings and
strife should be laid aside. Sherman
county needs more development, and we
cannot afford . to let petty differences
come between us and this one great ob
ject. There i a large area of country in
the southern part of the county that
stands only in need of a .railroad to. help
it on to development. The farmers in
that section cannot afford to raise - large
crops for the reason that they are too
far from railway trrnsportation. With
a railroad ,in lheir midst more grain
would be produced. Grass Valley is one
of the rich sections of Sherman county
that stands in need of a railroad, and we
hope before the days of another August
conies it will have it. It is a cause for
which all should labor and encourage.
OKJEOON FBES9 ASSOCIATION.
Fifth Annual Session to be Held at As
toria, Oregon, August 88, 29, and 30.
The fifth annual meeting of the Ore
gon press association is to be held at
Astoria and at Clatsop Beach, the 28,
29, and 30th of this month. The ar
rangements already perfected promise a
most pleasant and profitable session.
During the session of the Oregon press
association, several hours will be spent
at that delightful seaside resort, Gear
heart park, and the manager of Gear
heart hotel will not only entertain but
also cater to the wants of the inner man,
during the stay of the association at the
seaside.
Mr. Amos Strong, formerly of Salem,
is now in charge of the Gearheart JPark
hotel on Clatsop beach, and is preparing
to welcom right royally the visit of the
Oregon editors August 30.
The editors and their friends, who at
tend the meeting of the Oregon press as
sociation at Astoria, will find some of
; the most pleasant features of the session
to be the visit and entertainment at
Gearhart Park, the elegant appointments
of the hotel. The incomparable sea
bathing, and the refreshing coolness of
the park.
A visit to the government jetty at the
mouth of the Columbia, a ride on the
newly-built Astoria & South Coast rail
road, a dinner at the Gearhart Park hotel
and a dip in the bosom of mother Pacific,
etc., are among the attractions at the
meeting of the Oregon press association,
at Astoria. Clams, crabs, salmon, and
other brain food, at the seashore, can
not fail to have a beneficial effect on the
Oregon editors and their wives.
When contem mated improvments at
Gearhart Park, on Clatsop beach, are
completed, Oregon will have a summer
resort equal in magnificence and health
fulness to the famous resort at Monterey,
California, and all Oregonians should
feel a pride in encouraging such an en
terprise as has beeh inaugurated by Mr.
31. j. iunney. .-
The Chautauqua assembly room at
Gearhart Park, on Clatsop beach, will
seat 1000 people, and is a grand memorial
of the public spirit of M. J. Kinney, who
deeds it to the cause of that popular
met nod ot education.
A COIIHINDABLE ATTEMPT.
Major Foote, an Old Soldier, Trying
to
Make a New Pension Law.
A very commendable attempt is being
made by Major Allen Foote, a wounded
soldier of the late war who was in active
service from Bull Run' to Appomattox,
to stop the growing extravagance of pen
sion appropriations. Major loote is
organizing his movement by personal
visitation and correspondence and is re
ceiving assurances of sympathy and sup
port from all parts .of the country. He
proposes to form a society upon his idea
and prepare to influence legislation
The major believes that 100,000 veter
ans who fought for the Union from 1861
to 1865 will go before the next congress
apd ask that the present pension system
be stopped and that in future deserving
men alone ' be granted pensions. The
major advocates the establishment ot a
pension system whose leading principle
will be to grant pensions only to those
who cannot make their own living. It
is proposed to make the principle of the
dependent pension bill the soie rule and
refuse pensions for disability that does
not impose dependence. The plan of
Major Foote is to have the movement
for reform in pension legislation come
from the old soldiers themselves and he
hopes to persuade a large number of pen
sioners, wnoare not dependent, to volun
teer to give up their pensions and peti
tion congress to amend the law so that
pensions will be paid only to. comrades
who really need them.- Major Foote
may not he able to carry out the plans
he has laid out but he will have the
sympathy and ought to have the sup
port of every right thinking man both
inside the G. A. R. and outside.
BKSCXT OF FAST DRIVING.
A City's Streets are Blade a Racecourse
with Disastrous Results.
m
Spokane, WashM Aug. 14. A serious
accident resulting from fast driving, oc
curred last evening about 8 o clock on
Second street. F. M. Tull was speed
ing his trotter, Sleepy Hob, and on
Second street he caught up with Kid
Miller. A race ensued. Both horses
trot awiiv at a 2 :35 ffait. and near Stev
ens street, Mr. TulT's carriage collided
with that of a gentleman driving west
on the street. Mrs. Tull was with her
husband, and the concussion threw her
from the carriage. She was frightfully
bruised, but not fally injured. Mr. Tull
succeeded in stopping his horse in about
nfiv yards. The name ot the gentleman
Mr. Tull collided with could not be
learned. He had the middle of the road
and there was sufficient room for both
racers to pass him.
The Cuffe and Donner fight was fought
to a finish laet night. Cuffe was de
clared the winner in the .eighteenth
round. - Manager Barnes, the referee, is
severely censured for not awarding the

A Good Fish Story.
Salem Statesman:
The city editor of the Seattle Foal-In
telligencer claims to have caught'1 1500
trout in one week. The mind stands
appalled at what the story would "have
been,- had it been the managing editor.
Tacoma Ledger. Now the city editor of
the Seattle Post--Intelligencer v Will H.
arry, is well known in Salem and Orer
gon. lie used to wors on the StaUsmen.
This office will vouch for his truthful
ness and veracity. If he says he caught
1500 trout, of course he caught them. Or
at least if he prevaricates now he has
learned the. habit over in Washington.
where the habit seems to be sort of in
fectious.
