The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
Each county in the state will be com
pelled to purchase election booths
against the coming June election, in or
der to comply with the requirements of
the Australian ballot law. As a result
the several counties of the state have
been bombarded for months by canvas
sers from eastern houses offering to
furnish steel and canvass booths at
three times what they are worth, never
speak of the freight. Wasco county
will require between fifty and, sixty
booths and these eastern made affairs
will cost something between eight and
ten dollars each, laid down here; and by
the time they are distributed over the
county by the sheriff or his deputy at
the usual fees and mileage the county
will be out six or Seven hundred dollars
for booths that might just as well be
nrade at home for half or lees than half
the money. There -is no reason in the
world that we know of why a wooden
booth that ought to be built for less than
two dollars a piece would not serve every
purpose, and these could be built hero
and the money kept at home. There is
no reason why wooden booths would not
serve every purpose for years to come
and maybe by that time some new
election law would relegate them to the
courthouse-woodpile.
The charter of Baker city provides
that, "The office of mayor or treasurer
shall bo deemed vacant whenever the
incumbent therof shall be absent from
the city for the period of fifteen days.
The newly elected mayor, C. A. Johns
having been absent from the 17th until
the 23d of the present month sixteen
days a question is raised as to the
authority of Mr. John's official acts. It
is claimed that the words "deemed
vacant" mean that the law itself, with
out any subsequent act on the part of
the council, declares the office, vacant
when the mayor's absence exceeds the
limitation fixed by the charter. -

I remember a little girl eight years old
who was brought to the home. The firat
night we had to pick her up from the
floor six times and put her back into
bed. She could not sleep on a mattress
and between covers, and kept crawling
out to get on the floor. Over 1000 of
these children have been rescued from
the slums, brought up and sent on to
Canada or the states to become good
citizens." .

The Farmer's Institute at Dufur Held
on the 24th and 25th Inst. .
. The first evening session found about
two hundred persons 'present, t It was
opened by a song from the choir after
which Hon. H.v H. Dufur read a very
admirable and able paper on "Our
agricultural interests as connected with
political economy." Mr. Dufur claimed
that the "United States owes her great
ness to agriculture ; yet while the farmer
has toiled to increase his own and the
nation's wealth speculators have eaten
up his substance. The.farmer has grown.
lean while the nation has grown fat.
The agriculturists are the most conser-.
vative of all classes yet : they are, more
than any others, dissatisfied with the
present condition of affairs. The fault
ip largely their own and is due mainly
to personal reckless expenditure. The
farmer has not accomodated himself to
surrounding circumstances and altered
conditions. The farm must be conducted
so that the balance of trade will be in
its favor. The leaks on the farm must
stop. Brains must be nsed as well as
muscle. Farmers to be prosperous must
get down to a cash basis. We need re
form on the farm as well as in the state
or nation. Agriculture should be fos
tered by the state arid nation. With the
most magnificent agricultural countrv In
the world we should know nothing' of
bread and labor riots. Statesmen shouid
look more to the prevention" of crime
than to methods of punishment. " The
country needs a " more practical states
manship less talk about states rights
and more about state development
instead of a department of war we want
a department of peace. It is impossible
to do justice.to Mr. Dufur's paper with
out -publishing it in extenso, which we
hope to do in the near future. After a
.duet by the Misses Dufur and Heisler,
Mrs. N. Canfield read an ablv written
paper on "Women's Sphere," in which
she took strontr radirnl
women's rights; ridiculed the Hebrew
"tradition" about women beinsr created
irom a man s rib and ncnrWl Paul
having taught that women should occupy
a Clace subordinate tr
- usuua V.iaiUlllig
that his teaching .was a reflection of the
times that produced a Tiberius and a
Nero. The church had been teaching
that women should pray and men vote ;
Mrs. -Canfield proposed to turn the
tables and have the men pray while the
women did the voting. She claimed
that women's sphere has neither begin
ning nor end; it is boundless as the
ocean. Having paid a glowing tribute
to the gray haired founders of the re
public who had inaugurated a reform in
human government, she prophesied a
coming reform with reference to women's
place in society as great as that. which
took place at the' commencement of the
Christian era and closed with a highly j
complimentary reference to the nnivpr-
sity gift of Senator Stanford bv which I
the future mothers of the nation were
placed on an educational, equalitv with
men 60 that they may be fully qualified !
ior ineir high calling and destiny. ; j
inis was followed bv a taoer bv Miss
Margaret Snell, entitled" "The depart
ment oi Household science at ths agri
cultural college." This paper was
la:gely devoted to an explanation of the
methods of training of
adopted at the college. The door of the'
college was open to all ; the cost of yearly
maintenance ana tuition need not exceed
$150. Every branch of knowledge calcu
lated to fit the voune woman for bpr
future lot in life as an accomplished
farmer's wife, was tauirht . Th
instructed theoretically and practically
in cooking, sewing, canning, tending the
sick, marketing and other household
duties and acquirements while lessons
were also given in horticulture, floricul
ture, kitchen-gardening as well as in
milinery and dressmaking.
This was followed bv an excellent
paper by Mrs. G. W. Johnston on '.'The
cultivation and management of flowers,
in which many important practical sug
gestions were offered.
After the reading of an amusinf? mnr
by State Lecturer Holder in which the
college bred agriculturist, was sadlv
scored, the question box was opened and
the. following Oliestiona riiarMiac!
"Should there be a bountv on cavote
scalps?; When is cream ripe?; I8 there
any truth in the theory of planting corn
and potatoes in the light of the mdon?
This discussion was entered into with
such zest and good humor that it' cave
one the impression that it was the most
enjoyable exercise of a yery enjovable
day and as the clock now indicated nearly
ten the proceedings of the first day of the
Farmer's Institute were brought to a
close by a sog from the' choir.
