The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
The Ciikomclb hesitates to offer any
criticism on this yeai's assessment as
compared with that of the year 1890, but
it feels it to be its duty to call attention
to the fact that the value of land has
been raised from an average price of
$3.45 an acre in 1800, to $5.30 in 1891.
This is an increase of over sixty-five per
cent., while there is not a man in
Wasco county that does not know that
the price of land has 'decreased
rather than increased, during the
past year. The present valuation of
5.30 an acre is entirely too high. The
land itself would not bring that as an
average price is not in fact worth that
sum, and should not be so assessed.
The county board will not be doing. their
duty if they do not make a horizontal
reduction equal to, if not lower than,
last years, valuation or insist that the
state lioard make tne reduction. No
one can regret being compelled to make
ajaj A l.l jl ill lF l : liiuii l ill: i ir l iiiil
he must do it. It is not too late to make
a proper correction and it must be done
if land owners are to be treated with
common fairness, and Wasco county is
not forced to pay an unjust proportion
of state tax.
Secretary Buck of the agricultural de
partment has figured it out that we pay
$250,000,000 per annum for products
that' should be raised at home.. Daring
1889-90 we paid $5629,849 for foreign
barley a grain that can be grown
abundantly in this country, and of just
as good grade as the imported article.
There was $13,378,800 spent for foreign
fruits and nuts, including raisins, $819,
000 for .live oil, $8,860,000 for wines,
$15,264,100 for wools, $19,844,000 for flax
and hemp, $4,465,400 for vegetables, $25,
800,000 for tobacco and cigars, $2,173,000
for cement, $3,087,800 for coal, $2,011,
500 for provisions, $56,582,400 for
woolen manufactures, $38,686,400 for
'SttXV Iliniiufnctnrpa tS Rfl3 9(W tnr onltnn
manufactures, $7,149,000 for knit goods,
t,629,800 for leather, $6,206,200 for
gloves, $1,427,600 for malt liquors,
$2,214,300 for spirits, $41,679,500 for iron
and s'.eel manufactures. The list could
t) i continued on, but enough is shown to
tnvince any one conversant with the
'varied and fertile possibilities of the
United States that all these imports
could l produced in sufficient quanti
fies to supply the home demand
"Moody has succeeded in driving Smith
out of the wheat market on the other
side the river. A constant train has
been arriving all week. The higher
prices paid have attracted thousands of
bushels that would have gone to Colum
bus and every pound is being ferried
across to the Union Pacific cars at a cost
of not less certainly than fifty cents a
ton for the handling. While it could
easily have been picked up by the Regu
lator without ferriage and carried to
Portland for six cents a bushel it is thus
ferried to this side the river, put on the
cars and token to Portland by a road
whose fixed schedule rate is 10 2-5 cents'
a ton. In other words if Mr. Moody
pays the full Union Pacific rates he pays
scarcely less than six cents ti bushel
more than the Regulator rates.
The Northwest Pacific Farmer has the
following: "There is call for the imme
diate action of the railroad commission
to make a thorough examination into
the affairs of the Union Pacific railroad,
and see by what means Mr. Moody of
The Dalles is able to pay within four
cents of Portland prices for wheat, and
ship it over that road whose advertised
rate7 would make him lose about six
cents per bushel on all the wheat bought
by him at Rockland. Washington. The
Nbrlkwett Pacific Fanner is glad to see
the farmers at this place get snch a hiprh
price for their grain, but in behalf of the
othr farmers along, the line(of road,
makes a vigorous demand that the
affair be investigate!, and no discrimi
nation allowed.
Since the establishment of a graded
system of schools in Prineville this
county has turned out several teachers,
and they are giving as good, if not bet
ter, satisfaction than the imports arti
cle. Ere long the county will be able to
famish all the county districts with
home made teachers. Prineville News.
Hare Ton Thought of It?
The following letter appears in this
week's issue of the Klickitat Leader:
Bbothfb Farmerss Can we afford to
lose the Regulator, the only opposition
boat on the river? Have yon thought of
the matter as it is? What did it cost
you other vears to ship your grain to
market? The U. P. Co. charged about
eleven cents per bushel to carry it. The
Regulator reduced the rates to about six
cents per bushel, thereby putting thous
ands, of dollars in the pockets of the
farmers of Klickitat and Wasco counties.
Now is it right to thus betray onr best
friend in such a time of need? Is it
right to patronize the old company,
thereby helping to drive the new boat
from the river?- Have you thought of
the consequences you are bringing upon
yourselvea bv bo doing, are you anxious
to see the only opposition boat taken
from you? If so, keep on taking your
wheat to Moody (the only buyer who has
special rates), carrying grain to market
on the old company's boat.
The truth of the matter is the TJ. P.
company made up their minds to run off
the new boat, and they knew well how to
do it. They only have to throw a bait to
suckers to get them to bite.. They have
employed Moody to fish for suckers, and
oh ! how they are bitting; Moody's catch
this year will be enormous: but when
the Regulator is taken off Moody will be
ready to quit fishing for suckers. Have
j'ou thought why Moody can afford to
pay more for grain than other buyers? As
I said before, he has special rotes; or in
other words the U. P. company's boat1
carries his grain 'for nothing. So it is
plain to see that if the farmers do not
stand together and patronize the new
boat, even at a small sacrifice to them
selves, the Regulator will be compelled
to tie up and then the suckers will wish
thev had not bit. - Farmer.
flow the Starfish Kuta tlie Oyster.
The starfish is a curious animal. Its
mouth is directly in the center, and 'al
most immediately under it is the stom
ach, while the digestive organs are in its
arms. Starfish eat oysters, but "natural
ists differ as to the precise way in which
they devour them. Ancient naturalists
believed that the starfish waited for a
moment when the oyster opened its
valves to introduce one of its rays into
the opening and having put one foot
into the domicile it soon put the other
four in and finished up by devouring
the native. Modern observations have
proved that this is not quite correct.
Some naturalists assert that, on ob
taining possession of the oyster, the star
fish brings his mouth to the edge of the
shell and then with the assistance of a
fluid which its mouth secretes it forces
open the valves and the entrance is ob
tained. Another naturalist gives a dif
ferent explanation of the transaction,
namely, that the oyster is .seized by the
starfish and held tight by its mouth:
the 6tarfish then everts its stomach and
envelops the oyster, which forces it to
open its shell. However this may be, it
is clear that the starfish swallows oys
ters in the same manner as human be
ings. London Tit-Bits.
.Bank Kobkery In Minnesota.
Caledonia, Nov. 6, The Caledonia
bank was robbed last night. The burg
lars, securing tools , from a .blacksmith
shop, broke open the vault. They blew
the ..safe to pieces and secured about
$6000 in cash and many valuable papers.
The marauders then stole a fine team of
horses and a carriage from Asa D.
Sprague, the head of the bank; and tied
toward La Crosse, Wis. It is reported
they broke open a safe in Hokiah on
theiy way to La Crosse. ...
To Suppress Slave Trading.
Sydney, Nov. 6. The slave trade be
tween Queensland and several of the
Polynesian groups has been increased
during the past year, and it is said that
the new Australian squadron, which re
cently arrived in those waters, will be
partly utilized to put down the trade in
question. The planters of Queensland
claim that Polynesian labor is a neces
sity in that region,-white being scarce
and the native blacks utterly worthless.
Failures on the Coast.
San Fkakcisco, Nov. 6. The Brad

territories for the month of October
