The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches."
The old adage that opposition is the
life of trade, was never more forcibly il
lustrated than in the case of the Baker
now carrying passengers from the, east
ern parts of Oregon and Idaho 'not from
The Dalles on way points) to Portland
for fifty cents. The gentlemanly agent
of the Union Pacific Mr. Lytle, in
formed the writer today that the Baker
ia now making money that is making
money currying passengers at fifty
cent s from here to Portland. Now this
is the lirst time the Baker has made
money fof ten years. During all that
time she has been running at a loss to
the company of some fifteen hundred
dollars a month while her freight and
passenger rates were about three times
what they are now the passenger rate
was in fact more than seven times
greater than now. Now if the Union
Pacific can make more money carrying
passengers at fifty cents than it could at
$3.55 the path of wisdom and commercial
profit surely lies in sweeping reductions"
from present rail rates. And assuming
that Mr. Lytle's statemeut ia true with
what reason or consistency can the
company fight the State Railroad
Commissioners in their efforts to
bring about a reduction of rates?
President Polk, "with all his faults,"
pointcdl y says: "The farmers of the
country own 22 per cent of the wealth
and pay SO per cent of the taxes. Does
this seem right? Does not this condi
tion call forth some action on the part of
the farmers?" This condition should
not exist, and the way to remedy it with
benefit to all is to place all taxes on land
regardless of improvements. That
would lessen the farmers' taxes by pre
venting the speculator from pocketing
"unearned increment" which should go
to the state for taxation purposes. East
Oregonian.
So the proper way to eave the farmer
from paying an unjust proportion of
taxes is to tax him more. If under a
.system that taxes personal as well as
real property, the farmer pays 80 per
cent, cf the taxes the way to avoid
this inequality is to tax land only and
let the bunker and capitalist, with their
- money and bonds and securities go free.
Real estate now bears probably seventy
per cent, of all taxes and personal prop--erty,
the other 30. Don't tax personal
property says the above writer, and real
property, will have fewer burdens to
bear. It is a singular theory and most
singular the mental characteristics that
can believe it.
VAKIETT.
"Portlaud is plagued with mice," says
a Willamette valley exchange. Port
land should pull up its skirts, hop up on
a chair and screech.
And now it is suggested to blow up
Niagara falls with dynamite and let the
five great lakes run off, leaving a large
area of valuable land. Opposition td
the scheme conies from Buffalo, Detroit,
Milwaukee and Chicago. - - ;
Each minute, night and day by the
official reports', the United States col
lects $639 and spends 4C1. The inter
eat on the public debt was $96 a minute
last year, or just exactly equal to the
amount of silver mined in thai time.
A company has leen organized at
dkixoo, Mich., to manufacture
artificial milk from corn and water,
which, by a peculiar process, is said to
make a mixture impossible to be distin
guished front the pure articlt. It is said
to be nutritious, and can be delivered In
Chicago at seven cents per gallon.
An editor works SGS1 days per year
to get out fifty-two issues of a paper:
that's labor. Once in a while somebody
pays him n year's subscription: that's
capital. And once in a while some son
of a gun of a deadbeat takes the paper a
year or two and vanishes without pay
ing for it: that's anarchy. But later
on justice will overtake the last-named
creature, for there is a place where he
will get his deserts : that's hell. Ex.
Ira Mass has been arrested in Portland
for running a lottery. He owned four
lots on the east side, and got up a raffle
or drawing to dispqse of them. He of
fered to sell them for $2.100 dollars, bnt
, could not. lie then went among his
friends and sold 2.143 chances at$l each.
The drawing took place a week ago, and
the lots were drawn by the Mass familv.
Some people to whom he had sold
tickets suspected something wrong and
swore out the complaint. He waived
examinstion. The United States au
thorities will investigate the matter of
sending tickets through the mails.
The managing editor of a wash
foundry on Benton street, was around
yesterday, giving us some valuable point
ers on Chinese literature.- He says Mel
ican newspaper man heap too muchee
fool. Chinese newspaper man heap sabe
all, sabe more. We have long feared
that this was the fact, but are at a loss
to know how this astute Mongolian ever
found it out. He's been buying old ex
changes for a long time to wrap up gar
ments that his deft art has restored to
their pristine purity, and this, with the
fact that some old AHorians got . mixed
in the heap, and the further fact that he
read a little English, may partly ac
count for our Chinese friend's criticism.

Desperate Fight In Mexico.
City of Mexico, Nov. 2. At a mining
camp at San Pablo, near Buenaventura,
Coahula, there was a sanguinary battle
recently between John F. Moulton, an
American, and Antonio Ventura and
Leonardo Ronriguez, Mexicans. The
Mexicans fell upon Moulton with knives
in their hands, and he defended himself
with a dagger. At the conclusion of the
light Ventura was dead, Roderiguei had
four dagger wounds in his body, and
Moulton was badly slashed.

Ravages of -Cholera.
Constantinople, Nov. 2. Ravages of
cholera in Damascus show an alarming
increase. The record for the past week
show 180 cases and ninety deaths. Ow
ing to to the prevalence of cholera,
Hodeia is in nearly as bad a situation as

Mm. Farnell Is Very 111.
Dublin, Nor. 2. Dispatches from
Brighton say Mrs. Parnell is much
weaker today, and Freeman's Journal
says that unless a change for the better

days, it fears the worst will happen.
The Itata Case Settled. '
Los Angeles, Nov. 3'. The Itata case
came to an end today, Judge Ross ofc
the United States court rendering a de
cision granting the motion to dismiss
the case against the defendants.
His Audience.
A pretty story, which has, moreover,
the merit of being true, is told of a cer
tain professional singer. He had a beau
tiful tenor voice. jf which he was apt to
take the best of .'are, so that when he
was crossing the Atlantic one summer
with a party of friends, they were not
surprised to find that be disappeared
from view every evening at just about
the same time.
"Afraid of the night air." said one.
with a slight smile.
"Afraid we'll ask him to sing, protv
ably," said another, but no one ques
tioned him, as he was known to be quite
immovable from his own way.
Bnt when the last night on board
came, a delegation' descended to his
stateroom to. beg for a song or two, and
discovered that he was not there. They
looked for him in vain, until at last the
captain, who had evidently kept" the
secret as long as he could, said, pointing
in the direction of the engine room:
"I think you'll find him down there;
that's where he's gone every evening.".
Sure enough, when the delegation ar
rived at the engine room, they heard the
sound of a guitar and a voice, and there,
lolling against the wall, was the recreant
tenor, singing his best for the delight of
the stokers, whom he had entertained
in this way for more than an hour every
evening during the voyage. Youth's
Companion.
The Manufacture of Caps.
In that oddest, nestlike part of New
York, the French quarter, 2,000 or 3,000
men and girls make annually $5,000,000
worth of caps, exclusive of the $1,000,000
worth made by the furriers of that re
gion. At least 1,000,000 dozen caps' are
turned out in this quarter every year.
As to 6tyles,. there are nearly 500 varie
ties. Of yachting caps alone there are
something like two dozen kinds, if, in
deed, twoscore is not nearer the correct
number. "
. A few leading styles, however, persist
with little or no change from year to
year. The west constantly demands a
cheap cap with ear coverings. Every
year, sees some cap for girls the rage.
Such caps sell by the hundred thousand
dozen. A bint comes from Paris, and
in a few weeks the new caps swarm in
every street. New York World.
What He Feared.
"While I was in England," says one
woman, "1 was told of an American who
on bis first trip on an English railway
quite held his breath at the rapid run
ning. When his nervousness rather
overcame him he approached the guard.
"I say, guard,' he ventured, 'this is
pretty fast traveling for safety, isn't it?
- " 'Oh, no, sir, replied the guard: 'we
never rnn pff the line here, 6ir."
" 'But,' Said the Yankee quickly, re
senting the patronage, 'it is not the line.

ed little island,' "New York Times.
