The Chronicle is the Only Taper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
Tacoma ih not siitisfiod with its city
assessment nnd tli' papers over that way
nay the assessor is troubled with :in "in
flated imagination."
Ex-Senator Iiigullf pays he in prac
tically a prohibitionist and adds that he
lie never buys and drinks liquor unless
when he wants it. That's right Ingaie,
old boy. It's a wieked waste of money
to buy liquor when ' you don't want to
drink it and a poor business, all round to
drink it when you don't want to.
The late census shows that in many of
our cities the foreign born opuIation is
greater than the native born. . Detroit,
for instance has 100,000 foreign born citi
zens to 75,000 native born. The agita
tion that grew out of the late New Or
leans lynching suggested the question
from many lips, "What shall we do
withjour foreigners?" while, if the influx
of foreigners eoiilinues as it has done in
the past, the really imjmrtunt question
will be : What are the foreigners going
to do with us?
Here is the cold-blooded way the Or
tgonian looks at the efforts of Eastern
Oregon to put a portage on this side the
river.
The fact that there are rival portage
railway schemes seeking aid from Port
land is hopeful guarantee that the road
about The Dalles will be built by one or
the other. The chief question in inter
est now seems to be, which can offer the
best terms to Portland. One bar the
advantage of rich backing, and the other
of inexpensive construction. Probably
both will be built, ultimately. For the
present, however, both need ready
money, and arc likely to compete sharply
and liberally for Portland's support.
GOOD. ENOUGH FOR DUDES.
An exchange savs: An instance of
the effects of the McKinleyism is men
tioned by a large importer of hosiery.
"We get the same stocking as before in
appearance," he says, "but it is nothing
but trash. Instead of the two-thread
yarns, we now get a miserable single
thread with hardly strength enough to
hold together." '
Serves them right who prefer foreign
hosiery to American made. Stockings
nd other hosiery -are manufactured in
the United States that are good enough
for any dude that ever squinted through
an eye glass or sucked the head of a
cane. If some folks must have imported
stockings because they are English, yon
know, we are patriotic enough to wish
they may never find them anything
better than single thread trash.
SALMON SEASON CLOSED.
The Columbia River salmon season
for 1S01 has closed and those directly, -or-indirectly
interested "in this industry are
busy balancing accounts. It is said that
nearly a million dollars were paid out
by the cannery men last week in the
form of wages etc. The salmon
pack for the season is 75,000 cases short
of last year and while the exact figures
are not known it is conceded by -all the
cannery men to be a trifle over 375,000
cases as compared with 451,925 cases last
year. Of this number 350,000 cases are
No. 1 Columbia river fish and the bal
ance steel-heads and seconds. A heavy
shortage is reported at The Dalles and
the Cascades. The trapmen and seiners
made considerable money and a few of
the gill-net men did fairly well but the
majority of them barely made wages.

Onr Own Master.
Telegram.
. Mayor Mason . hits the nail square on
the head when he says the citizens of
Portland should build the portage road
and forever keep the control of it in
their own hands. This" is a practical
proposition that will strike the business
sense' of every man in the city. It is in
accordance with' the decrees of nature
that the Columbia river trade shall for
ever be tributary to Portland. - It is
worse than imbecility on our part to sit
with folded hands while this trade is
being diverted from us and make no
effort to retain that which nature has
designed for' ns. And it will require
such a small effort, too, to hold our own
An outlay of capital not exceeding $200,-
000 is all that is required. When we con
sicer that Portland is the wealthiest city
of its population in America, and that
the object in view is so very important
to the city's future growth and prosper
ity, we fail to comp'-ebend why there
should be any sort of hesitation, in
fact, it is hard to realize that such an
important movement has been post- j
ponea so long.
Now that we have entered unon the
era of a new dispensation and the dawn
of a new day has broken upon Portland,
let us bestir ourselves in seeing those
advantages which God, in His infinite
wisdom and goodness, has ' bestowed
upon ns. The trade of the Columbia
and Willamette valleys is ours by every
natural right, and can it be possible that
we are so completely bound to the
wheels of the railway corporations as to
be supremely indifferent to the favors
that nature has bestowed upon us? We
think that there is yet sufficient business
independence left in Portland to take
care of Portland interests, regardless of
corporation influence. Now is the time
to demonstrate it.
CKOr-XVKATUEK BULLETIN NO. 33.
Report for the Week Ending Saturday,
August 15, 1801.
WESTEBN OREGON WEATHER.
A few showers occurred along the
coast. In the interior valleys the morn
ings were cloudy, cool and damn from
due; the afternoons were warm, the
maximum, temperature ranging from is
to 90 degrees. The nights have been
warm causing the daily mean tempera
ture to be above the average from 2 to 4
degrees a day.
CKOPS.
. Threshing of fall wheat . has been in
full operation. The berry is, as a rule,
large and plump and it is considered to
be extra good milling wheat. Portland
price this morning is 87 cents per bushel
which is about 10 cents per bushel more
than was paid this time last year.
Yields of from 25 to 44 bushels per acre
are generally reportea. Mr. w. i.
Goudy of Hubbard, Marion county,
threshed out 970 bushels of wheat from
a field of 23 acres ; this field has been in
continnal wheat cultivation fcr 35 years
The cool weather in the mornings
retards ripening of spring grain and
causes grain to be .rather tough for
threshing until the sunshine becomes
warmer. In Curry county four crops of
alfalfa, blades about 22 inches long, have
been cut this year op to July 25, without
irrigation. Oats are heavy and a good
crop. Serious damages is feared from
the hop louse. Peaches, corn and
melons are fully an average crop.
Watermelons are now ripe 'in Josephine
county.
EASTERN OREGON- WEATHER.
No rain is reported to have fallen
The temperatnre has been about the
auerage ; the maximum temperature
ranged from 85 to 92 degrees. There
has been more .than the average amount
of clouds, though the afternoons have
been .generally cloudless, frosts oc
enrred in parts of Klamath county on
tne a. .
CROPS.
There, is a serious lack ' of harvest
hands in most' sections. Heading and
threshing are in full progress. The
wheat is turning out above even the ex
pectations of most farmers. The quality
is generally above the average. Prices
today in Pendleton for wheat are 65
cents for blue stem and 64 cents for club;
clear of the sack. Many farmers in this
section sold their wheat last year at from
52 to 55 cents per bushel. In Sherman
and Morrow counties the yeild is most
satisfactory, also in parts of Wasco
county. In Union county some heading
was done this past week, but it will be
in full Operation next week. In K.lam
ath . county, which appears to be a
natural county for rye, there is rye
eight feet high and volunteer oats that
will yeild nearly or quite ou bushels per
acre. Through the stock country a large
hav crop was secured and stock are gen
erally in prime condition. This year
promises the best all around harvest on
record in Oregon.
