The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
WIIO IS THE MAN?
The editor of the Aslorian passed up
this way a few days ago on a visit to
Spokane. From an interesting account
of the trip which appeared in the col-
ujna of his paper we extract the follow
ing. After speaking of the well-known
moving mountain and the locks now in
course of construction the writer says :
But there is something at these locks
more interesting' to Astorians than any
mountain, moving or stationary. 1 1 is a
line of boats put on bv The Dalles, Port
land & Astoria Navigation Company.
This company has built a steamboat,
the Regulator, "which ruu9 between The
Dalles and the Cascades. It carries
freight and passengers, which at the
Cascades are transferred over a portage
road, just built, and operated by the
state, to another boat. The Dalles City,
. which runs from below the Cascades to
Portland. The Union Pacific Company
had the D. S. Baker cn between The
Dalles and the Cascades and the Lur
line from the Cascades to Portland.
Men on the train said the opposition
was a success, the new line had put fares
and freights away down, and were doing
a good business and making money, and
while the train stopped at the station
the Regulator came along, her deck filled
with passengers, while behind came the
company's boat with scarcely anyone
aboard.
- One resident of The Dalles in talking
about the situation to the writer said : .
"We're all right. The U. P. hasn't
got a cinch on us any more. We can
.save money now that we" formerly paid
for fr.e:ht; the opposition boat is a big
thing for The Dalles, and for the whole
river: you folks at Astoria ought to
stand in with us."
"Is this rermaneit?" was asked.
, i es, ot course it is," was the reply of
The Dulles resident, who handed "the
writer his business card!' "The only
trouble may be in some folks selling out.
It would be worth $1,000,000 to the com-
rany to just buy off two or three men.
If I bad h chance and the company were
to oiler me $25,000 to throw the thing,
you bet I'd do it."' .
We looked at his curd, and told him
that was a damaging admission to make
to a newspaper man.
''Hell!" said he emphatically, "I
didn't know you were a newspaper man.
IV.rj't give me away."
This is given here as an illustration of
Thuman nature all : over. r It shows just
what The Dalles, Portland & Astoria
. Navigation company have to fear. This
fellow who is in business at The Dalles,
would sell out the town if he could, and
iilav into the hands of the corporation.
The opposition charges $2 to Portland ;
the U. P. Company charges $3.55.
Since our return to Astoria word eomee
- that the U. P. company has cut the rate
wny 'idown, now charging only 50 cents,
-inuloifl nf 3 Sa. This in ividfnr.lv a
Jlluff.) . f '
Business men at The Dalles and else
-where alone the river assert, positively,
that they will stay with the opposition
and give it all their business. The Reg
ulator shows what could -De done witn
an open river, a - matter in which no
community is more strongly interested
than is Astoria.
The Union Pacific is sowinz the wind
and it will reap the whirlwind by and
by. It is contesting in the courts, with
all its might the rates fixed by the rail
road commission, which that body de
clares to be just and equitable. Here it
has charged a robber tariff between this
city and Portland ever since it owned
the road. It has optnly defied the law,
as many-believe, in the matter of charg
ing double" rates "between this city and
Portland, on nil goods shipped from the
east. Last winter it tied up the Baker
during a period of some six months
and left the people on the Washington
side without any communication . with
the outer world except by skiffs, and
' now when the people have put on a line
of bouts of their own as a simple meas
ure of necessity, every - effort that a
greedy, soulless and conscienceless cor
poration can devise will be resorted to
crush them. - But this cannot last al
ways. The people are sick and. tired of
railroad oppression and railroad control,
and we shall miss our guess exceedingly
if the r.ext legislature is not composed
of a set of men who will not be afraid to
stand in with the people as against the
railroads. One thing is dead certain, at
the next election over this way, we wont
have anv use for anv one who wears a
railroad collar, no matter what party
nominates him. .
If the CnitostCLE, in' the goodness of
its heart, asks the people living in the
counties east of us to be sure when go
ing west to buy their tickets to The
Dalles and then go down on the Baker
for fifty cents and thus save Jf5.10 on the
round trip it is not because it thinks
anv Eastern Oregon man who lias a bit
of manhood in him, and who wants to
see the country prosper should ride on
that boat. Of course he ought to go by
the Regulator even if it does cost more.
But there are travelers; who. have no
particular interest in Eastern Oregon or
in an open river, whose only considera
tion is the question of cheapness. To
them . we say . by all means adopt the
course suggested because in doing so you
help the friends of an open river while
you put money in - your own pocket.
When the Union Pacific finds that it
costs them $5.10 to carry a passenger
from the counties east of Wasco to Port
land and return, they may come to the
conclusion that to maintain the opposi
tion is rather an expensive luxury.
Ho Denies the Allegation.
St. Locis, Oct.' 26, Colonel John
O'Day, late general attorney of the St.
Louis & San Francisco railroad, who is
being sued by that road to get possession
of land purchased by O'Day for the com
pany, and which it is alleged he refuses
to surrender, denies in toto the allega
tions of petitioner.
Dr. Spurgeon Able to Travel.
London, Oct. 20. Rev. Charles H.
Spurgeon, pastor of the tabernacle, who
has been seriously ill for months past,
has so far recovered his health as to be
able to start today for Mentone.
Chips.
The world has 325 electric railroads.
New York has 60,000 night workers.
North Carolina has 100,000 organized
farmers.
London button-hole makers get thirty
five cents a clay.
The amount of money invested in rail
roads in the United States is $10,122,
045,000. The amount of gold in the world would
fit in a room twenty-four feet each way.
It would be impossible for the U. P.
without impairing its revenue, to reduce
rates on the rail line as, according to the
Hoult law, the rates put into effect be
tween Portland and Dalles City, eighty
eight miles, would have to be put into
effect for the eame dfstance on all other
sections of the road. This would make
a difference of three or four dollars a ton,
or several hundred thousand dollars a
year to the company. ;
A majority ot the citizens of Heppner
evidently do not believe i ngambling, as
three of the saloon keepers were arrested
last Eriday evening on complaint for
allowing gambling to be carried on at
their places of busiuess during the races.
They were brought before Recorder
Roberts and fined $25 each.
Residents of The Dalles and the coun
try adjacent will make a determined fight
to sustain the new steamer Regulator
against the recent cut in the Union Pa
cific rates from that city to Portland.
