The Chronicle is the Only Paper in

Press Dispatches.
The unti-trust law-passed by the last
congress is a dead letter, as all shrewd
business men knew it would be at the
time. It might be a good measure with
which to keep up appearances but that
was all there was in it. No law that
recognizes individual rights of property,
can ever be framed to crush out business
combinations. So long as competition is
right, from a strictly business point of
view, so long as it is legal, just so long
will men scheme and form plans and
combinations to control trade. If the
farmers form a secret or open combina
tion to hold their wheat until the price
rises to a semi-famine rate, how are
they going to be prevented from doing
so? A law that would crush the combi
nation would crush, at the same time,
the liberty of the citizen. A higher
moral and religious educatiou seems
alone fit to cope with tho difficulty, and
even that is frequently powerless against
human greed.
The expense of the last encampment
of the Oregon National guards is the
subject of some very senseless and un
reasonabls criticism. The whole cost
was in the neighborhood of $32,000 and
it would be difficult to ted how it could
have been less, but this sum is char
acterized as extravagant by men who
are never happy unless they are finding
fault with something. California's en
campment cost $30a man ; Oregon's less
than $21. These $21 included tents and
other camp equipments, cooking uten
sils, provisions, pay of men, cost of
transportation, etc., and the wonder is
how they got along with so little. When
newspapers speak of expense they should
remember that the National Guard was
organized to save expense. General
Grant encouraged the idea of a National
Guard on the ground that it would re
lieve the country of the expenseof main
taining a regular standing army while at
the same time it would keep, subject to
call, a strong military force for repres
sion of internal disturbance or protection
.against foreign invasion. The very men
who are kicking against the cost of the
encampment on the ground that the sum
expended would have met the expense
of a good exhibit at the world's fair are
the very men who kicked hardest against
a dollar being expended in that way.
IM POT ANT.
No better opportunity has ever been
offered to the citizens of The Dalles
than that now presented by our state
board of immigration. The two exhibit
cars are now being fitted up at Portland
to start east September 1 . .
These cars will be painted white, and
pictures of Mt. Hood, Columbia river
falls, and other attractive objects on the
sides. The cars will run to state and
district fairs and prominent cities, giv
ing opportunity for hundreds of thous
ands of ivil classes of people to see the
possibilities of Oregon. The exhibit
will leave for the east September first ;
there is therefore but little time left to
improve the offer made to this section
to show its attractions for capitalists or
those seeking homes.
Major G. W. Ingalls has been ap
pointed agent for the immigration board
to prepare and forward specimens of
fruits, graius, minerals, woods, etc.,
from The Dalles, Hood River, and in
fact for Eastern Oregon., -.He has a
room next to the Grange store kindly
' donated by Mr. Yogt, and as he is giv
ing hitime with out any pecuniary con
sideratioru and the express company will
forward free all exhibits,- a small ex
pense for ixixes, stationery and convey
ance to get out to different orchards in
this county ought to be provided for. Is
not this a proper thing to be considered
by. our board of trade?
If our section is not represented in the
"Oregon on Wheels" medium of adver
tising can any blame attach to the
Oregon state board of immigra
tion. In this connection Major Ingalls
states that there are three ' persons
who will go east with this "Oregon on
Wheels" exhibit to answer ' questions
and give information concerning Oregon
and its resources.: Two of these persons
have been chosen from Western .Oregon
and the board of trade of The Dalles are
invited to recommend to the state board
of imigration some suitable person for
Eastern Oregon.

The Rival Rain Doctors.
The rival rain doctors 'both scored a
great success on Monday. . Melbourne,
the man at Springfield, O., who has a
machine in a hut that he claims has the
power to coax moisture from the sky,
became so enraged at a party of scoffers
tbot he told them he would bring on a
heavy shower before Tuesday or smash
his machine. He retired to his hut and
remained there until a heavy .storm
came up suddenly on Monday and thor
oughly drenched the unprepared; resi
dents in that section of the Buckeye
state. Not less complete was the suc
cess of the government experimenters
in Texas with their rackarock explosives
Those were placed in the ground as a
Dreliminarv test' and exploded by elec
tricity, the - detonations being heard at
a great distance. Ten hours later
heavy storm came 'up, rain falling
over an area of 1000 square miles ; the
.greatest quantity, two inches, falling
where the explosions had occurred.
This rain broke a drought of Jong dura
tion and did a great deal of good. In
neither, instance was there any indica
tion of rain before the rainmakers began.
Of course,' a series of experiments with
explosives will have to be made before
their value for this purpose can be defi
nitely determined, but the success of
the first effort is very encouraging. As
for the man in Ohio with a machine,
there is naturally considerable skepti
cism that can only be removed by suc
cessful experiments under the observa
tion of meteorological experts. Being
less dangerous and noisy, timid and ner
vous people would naturally prefer the
machine-made rain to that frightened
from the sky by dynamite.
A HUSBAND'S HEROISM.
He Rescues His Wife, Imprisoned Be.
neath a Capsized Yacht. '
The weaker members of a yachting
party of five would in all probability
have gone to the bottom of Great South
bay last Saturday but for the braverv of
one man, says the New York Recorder.
Before noon on that day G. W. Elder,
his wife, Gerald Stuyvesant and his
brother, F. S. Stuyvesant, embarked at
Bay Shore and sailed for Fire island on
the slocp yacht Montauk. Shortly after
4 o'clock Mrs. Elder retired to the cabin
tucked a pet dachshund under a
cushion, wrapped herself in a blanket
and lay down to sleap.
There are no berths in the cabin,
which is supported by stancbtons and
is all open at the stern, A low, broad
seat runs around the cabin. On that
Mrs. Elder slept. When a mile and a
half off Bay Shore the Montauk was
put about, and at that instant a vicious
puff of wind filled the sail, and the yacht
turned bottom upward and the pas
sengers sank beneath' the waves. Mr.
Elder and the sailing masts were the
first to reach the surface of the water.
They caught the boat's bottom and
when Gerald's bead appeared he was
sure Mrs. Elder remained in the cabin.
Her -husband is a trained athlete and a
vigorous swimmer. He dived and swam
under the boat, but came to the surface
without finding her- Down he went
again, and came up with no better suc
cess. After the third plunge. He found
Mrs. Elder in the cabin, clasped her in
his arms, and a moment later had her
seated on the keel of the boat. An air
filled space between the surface of the
confined water and the sheathed hull of
the boat had permitted Mrs. Elder to
breathe until rescued.
Onr Railroad Prospects,
PrineviUe News :
The people of this county have aban
doned all hope of living long enough to
witness the completion of the Oregon
Pacific railroad. Even the Albany news
papers have ceased their work of con
struction on this hopelessly defunctlhie.
and that of itself is sufficient evidence
that the thing is dead enough for inter
ment. We must now look for another
source for a railroad, or the hope of one,
and we know of but one direction in
wmcn to iook, viz., The .Dalles, it is
needless for us in this connection to set
forth the profitable advantages that a
railway "corporation would derive by
constructing and operating a line of road
trom the (Joiumbia river to, or through,
the interior of Eastern Oregon. Thy
are .too obvious to. admit of doubt. But
it takes monev to build a railroad and
overcome at the same time a selfish and
greedy opposition . that might stand in
the way of its construction. However,
such an obstacle might not stand in lhe
way of building the line suggested. We
want a railroad so bad we can almost
smell it, and would hail with delight
most any proposition to secure one
The Dalles has been our depot of sup-
plies for years, and might continue on
indefinitely to act in the same role, es
pecially if we could be linked with that
city by a line of railroad.
Tangible Expressions of Gratitude.
Baltimore Sun.
In this country more, perhaps, than
in .Europe, there are many ups and
downs in life. The families that ' once
supported homes and hospitals may
come to need them: those that -were
ouce their beneficiaries mav rise to a
position whence, they can give aid and
support to those charities by wliich they
were themselves helped. What is need
ed is the grateful rememberance be
everv one of the agencies that hav'
helped or encouraged them in their earl
ier years. They should treat all such
assistance, material or moral, as a loan,
like that obtained from the philanthro
pist alreadv mentioned, to be returned
