STAY WITH THE REGULATOR.
Wheat brought S2 cents a Lusliel at
Rockland yesterday. It brings from 80
cents down, in this market. These
prices are from 10 to 18 cents a bushel
-more than, they would be if the Regula
tor was not on the river. The same
cause nas enected toe wheat market at
all poiuts on the Columbia river in
-Sherman county and opposite Sherman
in Washington. It is possible that 100,
000 bu-.hels of grain will be handled at
Rockland, 300,000 at The Dalles .and
600,000 at points on the Columbia in
Sherman county and opposite. If these
estimates are nearly correct, and they
cannot be very far astray, the farmers
whose crops have couie under the in
fluence of the Regulator will pocket over
$75,600 through the enhanced price of
wheat alone. But this is not all. We
can only guess what the annual income
of the Regulator will be. Whatever the
sum is placed at it will be very truthfully
represent the amount saved to the peo
ple. Let us say that her annual gross
Socome is only J50.000, and it ought to
be twice that amount, then there is fully
$50,000 saved to the people in freights
and passenger-ratee. Every pound of
sugar "and coffee, every sack of ealfc sold
and bought in this city today, is at a lower
rate than they were before the Regula
tor was put on the river. Thus hi a
conservative estimate the farmers of
Wasco, Sherman and Klickitat counties
will save this year not far from $125,
t)00, and very possibly more, because of
the presence of the opposition. Here
then Is an argument for the maintain
ance of the new navigation line. The
Regulator cannot live on wind or the
simple good will of the people- The
Klickitat and Wasco county farmer who
sens nis wheat to the Union Pacific's
.agent thinks he is smart because he
' saves from 20 to 30 cents a load by sell
ing to the agent of the Union Pacific
. company. This may be very well just
snow when the Regulator has nearly all
she can do but suppose it were other
wise, would these farmers be entitled
to be considered wise if they allowed the
boat to be driven off the river for lack of
patronage be.0a.os9 of a paltry. 20 or 25
cents.
OA THE FENCE.
Here is the cxl, impartial manner
with which the great advscate of an open
river (in a horn) treats the present death
struggle between the Regulator and the
Union Pucifir. The Times-Mountaineir
of last evening srys : -
The wheat contest on the Washington
side still continues. . It is one of those
case9 in which the old song can be sung
Ixjt them both go in
And let the best man win.
For they're both from the happy land of Canan.
Such indifference in such a cause is
criminal.
We again remind our evening con
temporary that the question before the
people in this neighborhood is not that
of an open ri-er. We have an open
Ti-ver, and now we want to maintain it.
Everyman who would sell himself to
the Union Pacific for a littlo paltry gain
mnst be treated as an enemy of his coun-
. try. The Dalles is to be congratulated
thnt there is only one sentiment here.
Must the Chronicle voice it alone?
row suppose, brethren and sisters,
that the editor of the Chronicle or G.
J. Farley were buying wheat for the
Union Pacific company, and getting free
transportation with the evident design
of crushing the Regulator, would our
contemporaries be silent in such case?
. For the Cleveland.
Chicago Post;
We offer our respectful salutations to
the three members of , this interesting
family. May the young lady live to
combine the. good sense and sterling
nonesty of her father with the grace and
graciousness of her mother. May Mrs.
Cleveland prove as admirable a mother
as she has been a wife. And may Grov
r Cleveland never, in the silent watches
of the night, as he picks the perilous
path of duty up and down the nursery
floor, bruise his heel on , the furniture or
thrust the great toe of incaution upon
the agonizing tack of carelessness.'

Germany imposes a duty of $4.76 per

The attempts to induce Yakima In

futile-. Said one old buck: . "Twenty
years ago they were forcing iis to lay

they are urging us lo lay down the plow

Tillamook county will be for Binger
Hermann because Binger is for Tilla-

a congressman who can do something be

some other services quite as much.
If as reported the number of Russian
peasants who are destitute and must be

equal in number to half the population

fering. .
"Absolute rest and freedom from an
noyance" are what Jay Gould needs, his
physicians say,, but these blessings are
only offered by'the grave. There is one
trip Jay can't make without, hesitating
awtnlly. The grave has low rates, ex
eellent accommodations and aposlute
freedom from annoyance, yet Jay pauses
in uucenaiuiy uuuui taxing stocK in it.
His doctors are beginning to think he's

i-osimaster uenerai wanamaker re
parts that free delivery in Astoria is a
success. He is now about to introduce
a patent mail box, costing $1.10 for
folks to put on their doors. It is so ar
ranged mat- it win De a postomce in
miniature and will deliver all mailable
matter to the postman and receive all
the mail carrier brings without any effort
on the part of the householder beyond
putting the letters and papers in the
box, or taking them out.
John H. Parnell, a brother of the
dead Irish leader, saya he thinks the
"uncrowned king" left a considerable
estate, though much of it may have
been consumed in the litigation forced
upon him in his last years. At the time
of his greatest affluence he was worth
150,000. He had an estate in County
Wicklow,' some stone quarries, copper
mines and mills, but it is unknown
whether thev were morteaeed. John
Parnell himself has a small fruit farm
in Georgia. He is described as a rather
seedy-Iookinir man of fortv -seven, who
dresses in a rough suit of brown sroods
and wears a faded slouch hat.
The Sunday Welcome gives this inci
dent of railroad management in Wash
ingion, which is another of the rapidly
accumulation arguments for government
conduct of our railroads. Until recently,
it says, the U P. company had given a
freight rate on fruit from Walla Walla
to Wardner of $12 a ton, distance
200 miles. This rate was unconscion
ably high, but under it fruit growers
were shipping, and last week dispatched
forty-six tons. Seeing a chance to op
press the shippers the company at once
advanced rates to $24 a ton, "notwith
standing they are receiving from the
Southern Pacific their pro rata of about
$7 per ton for carrying fruit from Cali
fornia, a distance of U00 miles. The
point is that the fruit growers must
ship their fruit or lose it, and the rail
road company knowing this take the
entire crop.
Scarcely any fall fish was put up on
the Columbia this season. , One cannery
up the river, put up some,, but they
closed down yesterday. It doesn't pay.
Nearly every cannery has tried putting
up fall fish but there's nothing in it.
Silverside salmon are singular in one re
spect. When first caught, cut up and
canned it looks as red as Chinook sal
mon, the regular spring salmo quinnat,
all wool and a yard wide ; but after it is
in the can a while it pales, and the
longer it stays canned, the whiter it gets.
Negroes on the New Orleans levees who
don't care whether canned salmon is ten
cents a can or twenty-five, will buy
canned salmon for lunch while rolling
the cotton bales, but epicures prefer
something choicer than the. flavor and
quality usually afforded by the fall pack.
Heavy Inundations in England.
London-, Oct. 23. In addition to the
inundations in the neighborhood of the
Thames river, the Med way has been
swollen by heavy rains. It has over
flowed its banks and submerged vast
tracts of country in Kept. At Maidstone
the inundations are of vast descriptions,
and the outlook is that there will be con
siderable damage of like nature at Tun
bridge Wells.
lhe singular and various senses of
words in the English language are seen
in the following : A sleeper is one who
sleeps. ..therefore, while the sleeper
sieeps in ine sleeper, the sleeper carries
the sleeper over the sleeper under the
sleeper until the sleeper which carries
the sleeper jumps the sleeper and wakes
the sleeper on the sleeper by striking
the sleeper on the sleeper, and theie is
no longer any sleeper sleeping in the
sleeper on tne sleeper.
A school teacher at Marahtield was
recently called before the superin

swearing in school. It was proved that
he was putting up stovepipe when the
