The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
The Moro people are feeding the staff
of their new paper on pie. Whether
thia is meant in kindness or simply to
kill them off can alone be determined
by the character of the pie. Brothers of
the Observer, stick to the old regime of
sowbelly till you feel your way. The
average pie is a delusion and a snare.
There is one thoroughly practical way
by which the farmers of America can
get out from under the control of organ
ized capital and attain a position
wherein they can name the price they
want ior their labor as well as the price
asked for other peoples' labor and there
is only one way and that is to get out of
debt and stay out. So long as a man
is a debter so long he is a slave.
COMPETITION FOR SPRECKLES.
A considerable quantity of Chinese
sugar has lately arrived at Portland. It
is made from cane and is said to be of
excellent quality. It comes packed in
sacks, each containing 133 pounds. ' It
is said that it can be laid down on this
coast, and handled profitably at about a
cent a pound less than Claus Spreckles
is now charging for the same grade of
sugar. Wo hope its importation may be
encouraged. While the east is enjoying
the full benefit of free sugar we have to
pay whatever Spreckles chooses to
charge. A ' little genuine competition
that Spreckles could not control would
be refreshing.
SUMMER FALLOWING.
We make the prediction that when
the crop returns of Wasco county for the
current year are all in one thing will be
demonstrated and that is that the farm
ers of this county,. if they want to be
reasonably sure of a crop every year,
must resort to summer fallowing on a
larger scale. It no longer pays to
scratch the ground as a squaw scratches
it with a clam shell. If a man has only
a hundred acres of land in cultivation it
will pay him best to summer fallow the
half of it every year and plant the other
half. There is nothing made by poor
farming. The man who cannot afford
to summer fallow cannot afford to plant
his ground at all.
ALL OR NONE SHOULD HAVE
BEEN THANKED.
We think that the committee which
drafted the resolution of thanks to the
various persons who helped to make the
late institute a success should either
have made it more general' or have
omitted it altogether. None of the
quartette duet, nor solo singers, nor
Alki club are mentioned, nor is the name
of Minn' Annie Lang who, as much
os any one, contributed to the
hucccpu of the entertainments by her
lirtistio renderings of Mrs. Wetzel's
accompaniments, nor is the name of
Miss Jennie Long mentioned, who came
all the way from Portland and whose
readings proved , her to be a lady
possessed of an unquestionably high
order of elocutionary ability. We do
not for a moment suppose that these
omissions were intentional, but we do
bold that it would have boen better a
t)Mitfand times to have passed bo
Tt solutUm at all than to liave done it in
a way that leaves the matter open to the
' chargt- of partiality towards some and
neglect of others, r

for bond interest, and Z per cent., or

black bear who bad squeezed it to death.
They fired three or four (-hots at the
bear but he disappeared in the woods
carrying the deer with him.
The immense auriferous gravel de

river flowed down the present channel of
Cow creek, leaving an immense deposit
of gravel, in some places hundreds of
feet in depth, containing gold all through
the mass, from surface to bedrock.

A Leap for Life.
The marvelous Hanlon-Yolters are
now traveling with the Adam Forepangh
shows. They are the only serialists who
possess the daring and are sufficiently
skilled to perform the illustrious
Leotard's serial achievement known as
the "Leap for Life." ' They do this act
at an altitude of t forty feet in mid air,
and turn somersaults while executing it.
They are the born heroes of the gymnas
tic world, and had they lived in the
mythological age, would have been
raised by the populace of those days to
fellowship with Jove, Mercury, Jupiter,
and their associates. The Forepaugh
management have engaged these great
rerialists at a salary of more than $20,000
for the summer season. They have
twice made the journev of the world,
and appeared before all the crowned
heads of Europe. They can be seen
only in the great circus of the Forepaugh
show, which is coming here on Wednes
day, September 16, for one show only in
the afternoon.
A tttrange Coincidence.
Last Monday Mrs. Geo. Benadoin re
ceived a letter from her sister, Mrs. Paul
Arthur, of Savannah, Missouri, stating
that their little child had died. A
strange part of this sad affair is that Mr.
and Mrs. Arthur's child died on the
same day of the week and month, with
the same disease, and was buried on the
same day and at the same hour of Mr.
and Mrs". Benadom's child. Both child
ren were also near the same age. Mrs.
B. was not aware of the death: of her
sister's child until last Monday, and we
presume her sister was also in ignorance
of the sickness or death of her Oregon
nenhew. This is, indeed, a. strange co
incidence. Wasco New. ." . " '

THE MYSTERIOUS EMERALD.
Story of at Valuable Gem Picked up by
. , av Bostott Lady..
Boston Cdtrrier.ji v iff- j ' .' - . . i
There is the theme fcra romance in
the experience of a Boston lady in the
matter of finding a ring about a year
since.
She came across the common, and just
as she was about to leave it by the Boyl
6ton street gate her eyes caught the
glitter of a gem on the pavement, and
stooping she took up one of the most su
perb emerald rings ever seen in this part
of the globe. It is not necessary to de
scribe it too accurately here since in an
swer . to her advertisements there has
been more than one attempt by pre
tenders to get it fraudulently ; but it is
sufficient to say that it is literally such a
ring as might be the gift of a king. It
is the sort of . jewel which figures in
romances of the Disraeli sort, where no
expense is spared, and - it was naturally
worth a sum of money which to ordinary
mortals is something pretty big in any
light and really tremendous to have
locked up in a single ring.
The lady took the jewel to all the lead
ing dealers in gems in the neighborhood
and they all agreed in saying that they
had never seen it, but it was impossible
that a ring of so much value should long
want for an owner. The jewel has been
advertised in all the papers and' the
finder has kept a careful lookout for ad
vertisements in turn. ; The police and
the dealers in gems are fully informed
about it, and yet for more than a year
the ring has been in her possession with
out a sign of its owner appearing to claim
it. It ' is true that there, have been a
number of applications for'it, but no one
who has come to claim it has been able
to come anywhere near a correct descrip
tion of the ring, and what its history was
before it landed in the dust of Boylston
street is still a mystery. '
Since the ring is of so great a value, it
would be supposed that the owner would
endeavor to find it for its pecuniary
worth, even if there be no sentimental
value attached to it ; but nothing of this
sort seems to have happened!. Some day
the mystery may be solved, but at pres
sent there is no clue to prevent the
romancer from weaving about the- jewel
anv web of fancy which his brain can
spin.- .,
A Pleasant Party.
A farewell party was given last night
at the residence of Mrs. Geo. Filloon in
honor of Miss Sadie Whitmerj'sister of
Mrs. Filloon, who will leave Monday to re
main during the rest of the year at
Albany, Oregon. The participants were'
Misses Sadie Whitmer ; M.Wiggin, Caddie
Booth, Lettie Johnston, Mattie John
ston, Allie Rowland' and Maggie Row
land and Messrs. John Booth, Ed Mills,
J. Mason and Chirk Fleck and the
hostess, Mrs. Filloon. The game of
drive whist was indulged in till Mr.
Mills and Miss Booth came off champs
ions by a score of 9 to 4. A lady of the
party unfortunately met with a sprained
wrist by having fallen out of a hammock
in which she and Ed Mills were ..(of
course) gracefully reclining. .Tht many
friends that Miss Whitmer ., has made
during her residence in The Dalles re
gret her departure and follow her with
the best and kindest wishes. We forgot
to add that John Booth captured the
prize for eating the largest water melon.
Fears of an Early Frost.
Fears of an early frost in North Da
kota have had the effect of making the
farmers of that state take preventive
measures for the protection of their
crops. Nearly every farmer has stacked
up piles of straw, etc., ready to set fire
to in case of frost. The smoke from
these fires, it is believed, will keep the
frost from doing any damage, if frost
should come.
