OREGON AND THE WORLD'S FAIR.
,
The' State Board of Commerce has
tar ted in earnest to raise the sum of
$25,000 for a suitable display at the
world's fair. Charles H. . Dodd," presi
dent of the board has addressed an open
Jettor to the neonle. arnpalir!j to thpir
patriotism and state pride to make this
movement a success. The letter states
that something can be done with$25,000
but at least $100,000 ought to be ex
pended in preparing for a creditable ex
hibit and in caring for it during the six
months' continuance of the exposition.
Our neighboring state on the south" has
appropriated $300,000 and our infant
neighbor on the north $100,000 of public
money for the purpose. x A rigorous can
vass of the state will be made by V. H.
H. Grant, the accredited agent of the
board and unless $25,000 can be raised
within a reasonable time the effort will
be abandoned. Less than that sum, it
as thought, would not produce results
which would be otherwise than mortify
ing to the pride of every' Oregonian.
"Notes of hand will be received payable
in six 'months after date, conditioned
that all subscriptions are contingent on
Ajve aggregate amount so raised, being at
least $25,000, otherwise all such notes
-shall be void and of no effect. Unless
Ah is movement shall meet with success
it is more than probable that all efforts
to- have our .state represented at the
i world's: fair will be abandoned and Ore-vgoniah-.visiting
the great show will have
ithe .mortification of finding that owing
ttoitbe cussed penuriousnees and lnoss
backism of the people the great state of
.Oregon saan't in it.
" TheJOr0MJt of last Saturday con
tains ttvernforination that The . Dalles,
PqI,1&im1 and Astoria Navigation com
pany are arranging for atteamer service
between San Francisco and Astoria or
Portland and that they have been figur
itg lately for the steamer Wilmington,
of Coos Bay . fame, but have discov-
cred that she cannot be had. "Many
" Portland merchants" we are told, "do
not imnK it lair tor xne Danes people
to propose a new steamer line to San
rival-city in another state lor merchah
dise, -especially in view of the fact that
-Mnltanomah county , pays bne-third of
Ube state taxes and consequently con
tributes one third of the $60,000 which
'built the portage road, the greatest thing
. ever done for Eastern Oregon and Dalles
City in particular." This is another il
lustration of the old adage that one has
- got to go away . from home to get the
ew. The directors of the , Navigation
company at this place know nothing of
such arrangement and thev deny ever
having taken the matter into contem
plation. The whole thing js a canard,
, invented most likely by some prophet of
evil who would not subscribe a dollar to
the iiew company or help to open the
river to navigation for fear that any of
the river traffic should be diverted from
paying toll to Portland. Portland ought
iot need to be assured that The Dalles
lias all the boats she can take care of at
this writinc. ,
It is not the first time that all opposi
tion line of boats has been running be
tween this city and Portland and every
time the result baa been of great benefit
to The Dalles. Already the effects of
the people's line are markedly felt in a
larger volume .of business, in lower
frices for what the people have to buy
and higher prices fornvhat they have to
sell. The new line must be maintained.
It is -our only salvation from the swind
ling and extortionate rates we, have been
paying fir many years and whatever the
farmers may do the merchants of this
ity, ii nd wc trnst of Jhe interior also,
will stay with the Regulator '
The subscription list of the Chronicle
as steadily increasing, and the editor has
the supreme satisfaction of knowing that
its effort's to run a paper that will take
its stand at all times with the, people
and for the people, when their interests"
.are at state, are thankfully appreciated.
CALAMITY
HOWLERS.
liie retorm pnjers are giving out
-some pretty heavy denunciations against
'men who loan out money on interest and
'the thunders of the Sinai and the curses
of the prophets are invoked against
them. The National Reformer says : .
Interest is our great national sin, the
curse of the land as it was in the days of
Nehemiah, and, as in those days, the
people are in sore distress. They have
mortgaged their farms and their eons
and daughters are bound in industrial
slavery. The wail of the poor is heard
throughout the land. The hand ot op
pression is upon the people. Aged men
are bowing in prayer and asking God's
interposition in behalt ot the impover
ished people. AVomen with tears in
their eyes behold their children growing
up in ignorance and clothed in rags are
imploring divine aid. The people are
loaded with debt and interest is eating
up the profits of industry.
Where? In Kussiar Uto, but m our
own state of Oregon, for the quotation
receives the indorsement of a paper pub
lished in Portland. ' Surely the man
who could pretend that such a picture is
appltcable to any part of the Pacific
Northwest, let alone Oregon, is a fit sub
ject for a lunatico inauirendo. In the
name of our great and prosperous state
we protest against such calamity howlers,
The Hawaiian Cable.
San Fancisco, Oct. 24. The United
States "fish commission steamer Alba
tross, which has been employed in mak
ing soundings in connection with the
proposed laying of a submarine cable
between the United States and Hawaii,
returned today, having accomplished the
ooject oi tne cruise.

ISoodlers Arrested.
CiiiCAocy Oct. 26. The grand jury
this morning returned several indict
ments in the criminal court against par
ties concerned in the poor house and
insane asylum boodle scandal,
court officials refuse to give out
names until the arrests are made.
The
the
To be Opened for Settlement.
Washington, Oct. 24. The president
has directed the transfer of the hay res
ervation, the coal field reservation and a
portion of the post reservation srt Fort
Assinaboine, Mont., to the secretary of
the interior
for disposition under the
law.
A Prairie Fire Kaging.
Muskog.ee, I. T., Oct. 24. A disas
trous prairie fire is raging south of here.
The corn and orchards are being des
troyed. The damage is incalculable.
As a matter of fact, the peopje of Ore
gon, especially trjose in the first con
gressional district, need the services of
lion. Binger Hermann, in the congress
of the United States. It was an error
upon his part, to make any pledges as
to his retirement from the eervices of
the people, so long as they desired those
services. It is not certain that he made ,
those pledges, and whether he did ori
not, he is in the hands of the people.
Mr. Harry Miller, of Josephine countv.
declares himself a candidate against Mr.
Hermann, on the Kepubucan ticket.
His strikers, a little farther north, in
Douglas, will avail but little. When
the day comes for nomination, the cob
webs will all disappear and Mr. Her
mann will be nominated by acclama
tion, as usual. West .Side (democratic.)

H.P.Isaacs of Walla Walla says:
The cause of this depression in the grain
market is due to two facts: ''First the
prevailing unfavorable northwesterly
winds have kept the wheat fleet from
traveling to the mouth of the Columbia.
Second: the warehouses at Portland
are full of grain, lots of -money is tied np
in them, and it is impossible to draw
money on this grain until it is aboard
ship. When this grain fleet arrives the
stringency in the money market will be
relieved by placing cargoes aboard ship
and drawing money on the same. The
Liverpool dealers are unable to advance
on grain until afloat. As soon as the
fleet arrives money will be easier and
the market will again become active..

' Training for. Modern Life. .'
Every man ought to know what kind
of a universe he is in, what his relations
to it are, what find where invariable
conditions are imposed, what in- the na
ture of things is possible and what in
possible, within what limits all his
achievements must be. and hence what
ideals he may consistently cherish that
his work may not be in vain. It hardly
needs to be said that neither literature
nor art nor history nor' theology can ac
quaint a man with these. Only science
can do it science not as a mass of facts"
bnt as a body of relations.
If there be anythingthat the ordinary
man is markedly deficient in, and which
the best schooling has not added to his
mental equipment, it is .his failure to see
the necessities of relation. : Exercises in
logic and the study of mathematics have
been supposed to qualify a man to be
logical, but if by this is meant that for
every effort to be explained an adequate
cause must be assigned, then most men
are unequal ,to the occasion. Professor
