The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
The difference between Western and
Eastern Oregon ia well illustrated by the
fact that the Portland Dispatch, like
every other good paper that caters to
the necessities of its readers, feels called
upon to publish "for the-sake of a long
scratching community," a recipe, (ad
hesive fly paper with a piece of fresh
meat in the center of the fsheet) for the
destruction of fleas. Fleas are very rare
birds in Eastern Oregon.
Census Superintendent Porter says
the most prosperous sections of Kansas
are those in which there is the greatest
indebtedness. There is really nothing
incredible in the statement. A mort
gage indebtedness may be created to ex
tend the business of the borrower or to
supply lack of income. In the former
case the debt represents an Investment
and indicates enterprise ; in the latter
case the debt indicates retrogression and
perhaps bankruptcy. The aggregate
sum of the mortgage indebtedness of the
farmers of the United States proves
nothing so long as thi9 distinction is not
indicated.
The press is seldom (-ailed upon to
record a neater piece of scoundrelism
than that perpetrated a short time ago
by E. A. Albertson ontheTacoma Fidel
ity Trust and Loan company. Albert
son was the trusted servant of the 'com
pany and, taking advantage of his posi
tion, lie robbed the bank of several
thousand dollars and then took $10,000
more and several hundred thousand
dollars worth of securities, changed the
combination of the bank safe and skip
ped. Then he sent the president a letter
telling him what he had done and offered
to return the securities under certain
conditions, the principal one of which
was that he should not be prosecuted.
The bank signed the conditions and ob
tained possession of the securities,
through the intervention of a third party
. and now the authorities, after a hard
struggle, are reported to have caught
both Albertson and his accomplice,

Apples along the Applegate river are
bigger and freer from worms this year
. than ever before, and they are also more
plentiful. That is invariably the best
apple producing section of Jackson
oountv and it seems that its reputation
is to be upheld for the year 1891.
' Cattlemen of Crook county feel a little
uneasiness regarding the demand for
. beef this fall. The supply of beef being
greater than was expected, there is no
certainily that there will be a market
for all the beef in Crook county this
season, and cattle raisers may have to
carry their steers over another year.
A myrtle log shipped from Coos bay to
Portland, sold for $50. Of this $18 went
for freight, but even at this rate, says the
Coos Bay Sun, the Coquille river can
ship enough timber of that kind to
make half it citizens and ' fourteen
steamer lines rich. The timber des
troyed there in the past would bring
mints of money, and it is to be hoped
that such destruction will cease.
Co-operation vm. State Aid.
"I heartily believe in our. farmers-'
ability to help themselves by intelligent
co-operation. They e:tn do it better than
the government can do it for them by
some of the idle schemes so zealously ad
vocated by certain visionary so-called re
formers. "The sub-treasnry scheme is an
instance of one of these. It - has been
fitly characterized as government going
Into the pawnbroker business under the
emblem of three gilt balls. This with
flat money schemes would debauch rath
er tnan befriend our farmers." Thia
outspoken opinion is from Edwin Sny
der, one of the executive committee of
the Kansas alliance exchange company
and the representative of that company
in the American live stock commission
company. Mr. Snyder practices what
he preaches, and has assisted Kansas
farmer 8 to sell, through their exchange,
cattle to the amount of $600,000 last
year. That s the way to do it.

A new pasture will give better results
if the stock is kept out of the field until
the ground is well in sod. It is a fre
quent cause of pastures failing close
cropping and new pastures are not only
injured by close grazing' but also by
tramping.

.One remedy to prevent squirrels, mice
and birds finding planted corn is to har
row the ground immediately after plant

to scatter corn about the border of the
fields and in the vicinity of the Bquirrel

up.

Shut up that Louisiana lottery. It is
an awful disgrace. Government cannot
do too much to assist the farmers' alli
ance and antfs in their fight against this
seducer of public morals and debaucher
of private thrift. Yet how much worse
is it than the unbridled gambling in the
necessaries of life that is legalized in all
the great markets of the world? Wipe
'em out with other lotteries. Eliminate
gambling, let real supply and demand
govern, and values will be fairer to both
producer and consumer.
Chicago . wants the general govern
ment to loan the world's fair commis
sioners $5,000,000 to work the exposi
tion, whereupon that overgrown village
known as New York city, swollen with
rage, overwhelms the Illinois city with
reproaches. Chicago only asks the gov- i
ernment to do what it did in Philadel
phia for the centennial commissioners i
in 1876. It promises to do what Phila
delphia did : pay the money back,' and
offers to pledge the gate receipts as
guarantee for the amount advanced.-

It has been ascertained that the first
wheat sold in the northwest was raised
in Polk county,' Oregon, in 1846, and
brought twenty-five cents per bushel.
Perhaps no other industry has been so
developed in the intervening forty-five
years in this state as has wheat raising
the small fields of those .days having
broadened into hundreds of thousands of
acres, and the few bushels offered for
sale at that time having been increased
by millions. Not the least satisfactory
item among others is the fact that the
price has also increased in the interven
ing years, - until the farmers are among
the most prosperous citizens of this vast
realm.
A Chicago paper publishes two letters
in connection with the recent murder of
Miss Bertha Ison, of Baker City, by Dr.
C. E. Ballard, at Bloomington 111. One
was written by Miss Ison to Ballard, a
short time before the murder, in which
she severely upbraided Ballard for hav
ing obtained a license without her
knowledge and consent, and falsely pro
claiming that they were to be married at
once. She says in the letter that she
thanks God for saving her from the mar
riage, and tells Ballard that he cannot
now expect her promise. "The way you
have treated me," she closes, "has al
most killed lne.and has killed my love.
Our paths are forever divided." .The
other letter is from Ballard to his moth
er, in which he intimates that he and
Miss Ison had mutually agreed to die,
and that Miss Ison was the cause of it
all. He was evidently a weak-minded
fellow, and it was an evil day for the
Ison family that threw them in his des
perate, deadly way. . . '

She had yawned six times, looked at
the clock four times, and pretended to
be half Asleep' three times,' but the
young editor who was calling upon her
was so much in love that he did not ob
serve these manifestations of weariness.
At length she said :
- "Most newspapers have mottoes,
haven't they?" - -
. "Some have."
"Has vours one?"
-Yes."
"What is it?"
" 'We are here to stav .' "
i "I conld have sworn it was something
.of that kind," she said with a sigh and
' the sileuce was resumed.
To Subscribers, Old and New.
In order to put The Weekly Oregonian
into the homes of those now without it,
the publishers make the liberal offer of
fifteen months for $2 00 to all who sub
scribe prior to January 1 , 1892. Tbis of
fer implies not only? to new subscribers
but to renewals as well. ' In addition- to.
this, each new subscriber,' -orr old sub
scriber renewing, given his -choice of
either "The American livestock Man
ual," or the "Standard American Poulr
try Book," whichwill be sent free, pos
tage prepaid. These are valuable works
of reference for the farmer.
The Weekly Oregonian is the great
weekly of the JSorthwest. There is no
weekly published on the Pacific coast,
or anywhere else, that furnishes readers
a fuller compendium of all the news of
the whole world than does the Weekly
Oregonian. No other paper gives such
ciose attention to Pacific coast news, es
pecially to what is transpiring in the
great Northwest.
- Aside from its unexcelled news fea
tures, a large number oi special articles,
prepared for its columns by-wellknown
writers, are published during the year.
It furnishes descriptive letters from var
ious portions of our own country and
from foreign climes, as well as stories,
noterv and wall selprfavl rmflnellanv.
there is a department maintained for
the farmer, also for the women and
children All the advantages of a news
paper of the first class, are offered., by
The Weekly Oregonian. No family in
the entire Northwest can afford to be
without it.

News From Mosler.
' Mosier, Sept. 1,. 1891.
Editor of Uie Chronicle :
. The weather is very delightful for this
time of the year.
The long looked for grange business
counsel time arrived at last,- but owing
to farmers all being . busy harvesting
there was not enough' delegates to do
business.'
". Mr. Lynch, our merchant, returned
from Portland last Monday.
Mr. S. D. Fisher of The Dalles is
spending a few days in Mosier.
Mrs. S. R. Husbands is zuite sick, but
we hope she will soon be able to be out
among us again.
Some of the Mosier people visited The
Dalles te take in the circus.
We did have a snake story to tell but
as the one we read in the columns of the
Chronicle last week can beat the one
we have we won't say anything about it.

'Allee Satmee Mellcan Woman."
A rather novel divorce suit was com
menced in Judge Steam's court in Port
land last Tuesday morning. A Chinese
woman seeks to be freed from her Mon
golian husband. The suit is brought by
Lo Ah Sue, - the wife of a Chinaman
named Ah Sue. She is the woman who
was taken from a Chinese den of infamy
about two years ago, through the efforts
of the Woman's Home society, and she
bases her plea on - the ground of cruel
and inhuman treatment and desertion.
She alleges she was married to Ah Sue
in thiB city on the 24th of September,
1888, and that soon after their marriage
he compelled her to , enter a.. Chinese
house of prostitution and support him off
her shame. Furthermore, she states he
abandoned her in 18S9, and has not lived
with her since.. She- asks for a decree of
absolute divorce, and the privilege of re
suming her maiden name, Lo Ah Tsoy.
It Will be-Rebuilt.
As we stated last week, The Dalles,
our own supply house, is almost a ruin,
or a pile of ruins. ' The briefest mention
we can make of the sad matter is to say
simply, that no less than eighteen busi
ness blacks were consumed by fire. It
was a terrible fire,, and our neighboring
city on the Columbia was almost ruined ;
but it will rebuild. We say it in confi
dence it will rebuild. :The looation,
the surrounding country, the natural
ness of the place for a town is left, and a
new city will spring into existence.
