The Grand Itonde Chronicle man
wastes the following rhetoric on a man
who wanted to Jew him down on the
price of his paper : "We met a tub full
of liver and bacon waddling down the
street yesterday, and it halted us in
the rain uud said, ''Mac, I have jest one
dollar in my pocket that I will give you
for a copy of your paper one year.' We
moved to amend by inserting six months.
The hog shook its head, and then Old
Three-Per-Cent went grunting in the
direction of his stye.
Nobody ever supposed that the state
portage road around the Cascades was
built as a speculation, or expected it to
pay a dividend into the state treasury.
If it shall accomplish the object of re
ducing rates from the interior, it will
nnt matter whether it does any business
or not. So long as the people around
The Dalles sell their wheat for within 2
cents of the Portland price, neither
they nor any one else need care how it
gets to market. . The Dalles -merchants
seem to be taking care of the opposition
steamboat line. Oregonian.
The Dalles Chronicle has entered in
to a determined fight against the Union
Pacific Railroad, and favors an open
river in preference. ' The Chronicle is
right, and we hope that it may keep up
its kick until it gains its end. If there
were more such papers in Oregon the
long-suffering people might hope for
freedom from all oppressions of this
kind. JTarruburq Courier.
