If the Chrokiclf never bad a mission
nn the field of journolism it has one now
'-The two other papers of this city are as
'Qmet as a graveyard about the lmquit
-ons efforts of the Union Pacific to drive
the .Regulator off the river; and the in
i famous alliance of one of our citizens
with that corporation in this effort
Has-it come to this that alittle advertis
ing patronage that has to be taken out
-in free rides over the road is enfficient to
--shut the months of our contemporaries
'concerning an ontrrge that, take it with
-all its associations and connections, de

Under the caption, "Farmers Beware"
the Klickitat Leader has the . following :
The Union Pacific, now that they find
She Regulator is receiving the patronage
Of -all right thinking . and far-seeing
tfanmere. are making strenuous efforts to
regain their lost prestage, but in a way
i that will make farmers feel more dis
; Basted than ever with the Union Pacific.
-The Farmers' Alliance and Grangers of
Klickitat valley appointed a committee
- to make arrangements at Rockland for
the shipment of wheat. They secured
.he exclusive right to use the land be
longing to the Interstate, company near
Rockland for for handling and shipping
,gfiuu, wiiere iney piacea scales, bought
-a soow and had a shute built so that the
;: grain could be shipped conveniently
on board the Kegulater. Last week
it was rumored that the Union Pacific
intended withdrawing the Baker, but
Jimmnediatety after "the appearance of Mr.
vCampbell, the general freight agent, in
'ITtie Dalles the rumor was denied.
G- W. Smith and D. B. Gaunt have
'been purchasing wheat in large, quan
tities at Rockland for shipment bv the

- nwuuur. au euurt was maae last
week by the agents of the Union Pacific
xts purchase 2u0p sacks of wheat from
them which' was stacked near the land
ing, who tiered more than it would
possibly bring at Portland by five or six
cents a bushel, with freight by the
-Aluion Pacific added, but they re-
fused to sell unless it would be
shipped by the Regulator. They
could have cleared over $100 by
the. trade, but remained true to
Xnose who , placed ; such advantages
nt the disposal of the farmer. Find
ing themselves baftted in this, M.- A.
Moody, who, there cannot be the shadow
- r5 a doubt is the cat's paw for the Union
Pacific, placed scales on the Interstate
company '8 land at Rockland, in opposi-
- tion to G. W. Smith and D. B. Gaunt.
'-Whether he will be allowed to remain
'there is a question to be settled.- He
sent men out on the road to intercept
' wagons coming from Klickitat valley,

the market price and which . G. W.
Smith and D. B. Gaunt were really able
to pay. This piece of trickery drew
some of the farmers in the trap that was
so cunningly laid for them, and, we are
sorry to say, were farmers from the val
ley. Had they thoroughly understood
be situation it would have made them
reflect before selling their wheat to the
-Moody faction for a few cents more,
-thereby sacrificing their -best friends
ithe people of The Dalles, who have gone
-down into their pocks and built a trans
tnortution line for the benefit of ' the pro
ducer and artizan and in opposition to a
railroad ttiat make lrcignt rates a -bur
- den. - The Grancrers and Farmers' Alii
ance should stand solid for the new com
pany, for the reduction in freight is giv
ing them five to seven cents more per
bushel. Thanks nud success to the new
company. The Dalles and Klickitat
valley will save this year $25,000, which
otherwise would have been sent to swell
-Jay Gould's treasury in New York
within the next forty days. The new
-company up to the "present time has
saved The Dalles not a cent less than
$10,000. This alone should be sufficient
reason for the entire patronage toDalles,
Portland & Astoria Co. by those shipping
freight. Not nickle should be allowed
to fall into the hands of such systematic
robbers as the Union Pacific or any of
A heir foxy agents. Should the Union
(Pacific be tuccessful in swamping the
new company, the Regulator would have
to be withdrawn, when down goes wheat
and up goes freight, with a heavier bur
'. den on the farmer than ever before. So
far the Regulator has received good pat
ronage, the public at large realizing the
.great benefits derived and the import
ance ot . supporting me new companv
They are moving daily about 100 tons of
grain and merchandise, and now that
the engine has arrived at the Cascades,
treignt will be moved more expeditiously
By supporting the Regulator the farmers
are patronizing .their best interest-

A ilealoos Home.
In a fashionable boarding s&able tn
New York is a horse called Tatters. Tat
ters belongs to a lady who makes a great
pet of him, and never visits the stable
without taking him some apples, carrots.
or sugar, of which he is extremely fond.
In a neighboring stall is the horse of her
friend, an animal rejoicing in the name
of PhiL Tatters and Phil are on good
terms, but the former sometimes throws
his ears back and manifests jealousy
when his mistress, after giving him an
apple or a garrot, gives one to Phil. One
day 6he went into the stable while Tafr
ters was in the hands of the groom. He
began begging for an apple, and she de
ferred the gift until the groom had fin
ished his work and the horse had return
ed to his stall Meantime she gave an
apple to PhiL
When Tatters had gone to' his stall
she offered him an apple, but he refused
to take it, and turned his head from her
in disgust. For half an hour she coaxed
him. but to no purpose. Then the groom
tried to induce him to take it, and then
another groom made the same effort, but
all in vain. Take the apple he would
not,' nor would he recognize his mistress
in any way.
His ears drooped and he had the ap
pearance of a child in the sulks, just as
mucn as a horse can possibly have it.
His heart was broken, not 1 so much be
cause an apple had been ' given to an
other horse, but because ' it had been
given before himself had received one.
But by the next day he seemed to have
forgotten his grievance, and von may be
sure that his owner has been careful not
to offend him since in the same way.

'A Roumanian Custom. 1 '
A pretty custom,- similar to that ob
served in England. Scotland and the
United States on St Valentine's Day, the
14th of February, is- in vogue in- Kou-
mania on the 1st of March. This is the
day indicated in the state and church
calendar .as- the " official date for the be
ginning of spring. ; i - .-- si : -
The masculine portion of the popula
tion is not favored . with valentines as in
this country, but the daughter, friend.
sweetheart or bride may be quite sure of
receiving her token of affectionate re'
membranes on that day. These little
gifts are called martisoires, and are made
Qf bronzes silver or some cheaper ma
terial in the shape of hearts, stars and
medallions. ' These' little amulets' bear
the date March. 1, accompanied bv that
of the year, end' any - motto r: inscrip
tion which may occur to the giver as
appropriate.
The recipient of the martisoire wears
it, held by a small chain, on her arm or
hung around her neck nntil in her walks
abroad she sees a rose in bloom or hears
the song of the nightingale. Then she
takes it off and hangs it on the next
green bush to which she comes as an of
fering' to Mother Nature, for whom all
Roumanians have a great love.
Whether these little medals are al
lowed to hang u the bushes and swing
in the breezes all summer, or whether
after a certain time they are stealthily
garnered by a martisoire collector, to be
melted -for another season's use, is not
stated by the German paper which tells
of this pretty, if rather sentimental, cus
tom. - '
A Two Hnuilred Dollar SpeecU.
A certain well . known German phy
sician of the south side was the victim of
his own "previousiiesa" the other day.
He had successfully treated a wealthy
lady's daughter for diphtheria, and the
lady was extremely grateful for it. When
the child was thoroughly well mother
and daughter appeared at the physician's
office. The little, girl shyly handed the
physician a neat little knit purse, while
the lady went on to say: "For having'
saved my child, doctor, 1 want to pre
sent you with this purse."
"But," said the physician', after an em
barrassing pause. "1 have sent you a bill
for SJ300." . .
The lady flushed, then said " quietly:
"Let me have the purse, please."
She took two $100 bills out of it and
returned it to him with the remark:
mere are .gyuu in there now
bill is paid," and left the room.

Now the doctor is cursing his clumsy
tongue for the bad break it made. ' That
little speech cost him $300. St. Louis

Father and Son.
A fine young fellow was disinherited
by his father, a well to do grazier and
cattle dealer, for marrying a domestic
servant in the village. The father not
only cut him out of his will, but turned
him out of the house and dismissed
from his employment. The young man
took service in the county police, and
was shortly appointed" to his Own vil
lage. . But in u year or two he inherited
a snug fortune from a brother of his
father's, with whom the latter had a
deadly feud, and the old grazier was so
put out at his son's good fortune that he
cut his throat. Almost the last work
the eon had to do before leaving the
police force .to enjoy his legacy- was to
attend the inquest of Ms father, offi
cially. London Tit-Bits.

The Russians of the' old school still

which makes it .. binding . npon. every
guest at a dinner party, on rising from
table, to go and kiss the hand of' his
hostess, she kissing his -forehead in re
turn; and 1 have myself seen the 'soft
white, hand of one of the most beautiful
