The Chronicle is' the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches. .
It is due to the state agricultural col
lege to say that the members of the fac
ulty who go out over the country hold
ing farmers' institutes, seem thoroughly
devoted to the interests of their eeveral
departments of labor and to the general
success and prosperity of the college.
We believe this school offers to the sons
of the farmers of the state advantages
not to be found in other institutions of
learning, in the way of acquiring a thor
ough knowledge of cultivating the soil,
besides embuing them with the love of
farm life and the dignity of farm labor.
It is beyond question that the attend
ance of farmers' sons at the higher in
stitutions of learning has "the general
tendency of weaning them from the
farm and driving them to the cities and
towns under the foolish impression that
it is more honorable to stand behind a
dry goods' counter and wear store
clothes than to enjoy the manly inde
pendence of the farm life, albeit clothed
betimes in jeans and overalls. It is n
matter cf record that only a very small
per cent, of farmers' sous who are edu
cated at merely literary colleges go back
to farm life, while of those educated at
agricultural colleges the vast majority
are content to remain on the farm.' In
stitutions whose labors have a tendency
to dignify labor and keep young men
from the temptations and vices of city
life have a right to our respect and en
couragement; The first resolution adopted by the
state alliance recently held at Dayton
would lead ono to infer that the average
hayseed bird is never likely to be caught
with '-Single tax" chaff.- The very fact
that the Washington law, that exempts
notes and accounts from taxation, is so
far in line with the single tax system
that proposes to tax nothing but land,
induces the members of the Washington
alliance to put themselves on record' as
they do in the preamble of the resolu
tion in the following fashion :
Whereas, our state constitution guar-
and equal and in as much as our late
legislature did pass a revenue law very
. 1 " - . 11.- . . i . : . 4 i.A
step in the direction of "single tax
system" putting the burdens of taxation
upon the farmers and home builders of
theftateby exempting the property of
"the weathy and then to palliate the
"crime perpetrated did exempt from tax
ation personal property in the paltry
Hum of .$300, as if this would bribe the
masses to be silent under the outrage."
The Uniou Pacific has at last scored a
point against the D. P. and A. N. com
pany that we hope the latter company
will not be long in wiping out. The
agent of the Union Pacific has become
the father of a fifteen pound boy !
When shall we be able to make a. record
like this for the agent of the Regulator?
The Farmers' Institute.
The third session of the Farmers' In
stitute opened Wednesday morning at
10:30 o'clock with a good attendance.
Aftor music by the choir an essay was
read'by J. Trout on "Education and
Reform and how best to obtain them."
Mr. Trout's paper dealt chiefly with the
subject of the nation's finances and advo
. ra tori tfiA riAnra nn oni n n ip nnrl en rr pr rv

usually held by the farmers' alliance.
After a short and animated discussion
a selection of music was admirably ren
dered by the pupils of thv Dufur .graded
school, followed-by a recitation by Mas
ter Charles Percy. Then came' a very
able lecture on "The farmer and his
horse" by M. J. Anderson,' which was
listened to with marked attention anu
which received the distinction of a
special vote of thanks at its close. This
: lecture was replete with instructions re-

mals, chiefly ' as it relates to horse-shoeing
and care of the horses' feet. Then
followed a comic recitation by Clark
Bolton on "Michael Schnyder's party"
which was well received. - Then came
two musical selections by the school

jotirned till 1:30 o'clook. .
The afternoon session was opened by
the entire audience rising to their feet
and singing "Work for the night is com
ing," when Professor French reud a
valuable paper on ''Industrial Educa
tion." The professor claimed that the
mind as well as the hand must be
ill. 1 11 1 r. ... 1 ..... . . . v. ...i.i .
trained. This was a foundation feature
of the Agricultural college to combine
manual labor and mental training so as
to make labor pleasamt as well as profit
able. This was followed by a reading
by Miss Smith, after which P. P. Under
wood and D. Farrington read two short
but suggestive and valuable essays on
"Summer Fallowing." Facts and fig
ures were given which proved beyond the
shadow of a question that the farmers of
Wasco county must resort to summer
fallowing if they expect to reap the best
results. It was generally agreed that
the remedy for dry seasons was, to a
large extent, in the farmer's own hands.
In the discussion that followed these
papers, questions relating to deep or
shallow plowing, planting corn or pota
toes on summer fallow,, leaving the fal
low rough or smooth, Cultivating the
fallow, and second plowing and many
others were asked "and answered and a
good deal of practical informatian was
elicited.
This was followed by a recitation by
Miss Eva Vanderpool after which Pro
fessor Frazer, read a valuable paper on
"Zoology and botany in our. public
"schools." The professor ably contended
that no education is complete that does
not embrace the whole man, in his phys
ical as well as mental constitution.
Ed Harriman then followed with a
short but suggestive paper, in which he
took the affirmative of the question,
"Should the principles of agriculture be
taught in our public schools?" Mr.
Harriman contended that the common
schools should be furnished with a few
acres of ground by means of which
pupils might be trained in some of the
simpler principles of agricultural sci
ence. A little caustic criticism on ven
tilation in our public schools by Miss
Snell brought Professor Frazer to bis
feet only to find that he had his match
in the ringing, clear-cut and incisive
replies of the female professor. The
meeting then adjourned to meet for its
last session at seven o'clock.

Mosier, Or., Nov. 2, 1891.
Editor 6 tlu Chronicle:
New settlers are still dropping in from
unknown regions, and all seem 'to stop
in and about Mosier precinct. Mosier
is a small place, and is not much heard
from, but, Mr. Editor, I want to tell you
that it is the place .where they turn out
toe coin Mosier precinct is all business
and of course, like unto a business man,
knows its own business.
The young gentlemen of Mosier seem
to think that weddings will be a com
mon occurrence here this fall and if the
young gentlemen think so, there, must
be some truth in the assertion.
I see in an item of one 'your corres
pondents that a certain man braggs on
having one of the finest stands of wheat
in his neighborhood. I would say that
wo have very nice stands .of wheat here,
but when it comes to talking about
wheat we are not in it; money is our
main crop here. The Mt. Hood Literary
society is gliding along very smoothly.
The society publishes a paper also' but
the name of the paper is hardly fit for
the society though it would be first-class
for the district. You will learn the
name of the paper by the following
clipping of poetry taken from the same :
Mr. President, Ladies and Gents that's assembled
in this hall,
This is the night for me upon which to make a
call.
You must excuse my contents, it isn't very rich.
But please do remember that thta is my baby
speech.
As there was no motion made in favor of a name,
It didn't make much difFrence to the paper just
the same.
My editor, that's living down the hollow of Dry
ere. k,
Thought it was b?st to call me the Literary
Kick.
The I.iteeaby Kick, isn't that a pretty name,
O'er which 1 hope the members won't feel oiiy
ashami d.
It's very short; besides it is easy to pronounce,
But if you should dislike it give the editor the
bounce. '
And if you think that I can't kick-I'll tell you
what to do;
Go down to Lynch and get me a No. 11 shoe. .
As sure as I was born, a week ago tonight,
I'll kick everything to pieces before it gets in
sight.
Should the Mountaineer, the Chronicle or Sun
Upon me try to level their political gun,
They will ba very sorry when they hear my
bugle sound;
I'll make it hotter for them than the fire that
burned their town.
Miss Emily Husbands went to . The
Dalles on Tuesday and will be a guest of
Mrs. S. L. Young's while there. Will
return t her home at Mosier in a few
days. .
I must say that the most fearless set of
engineers run on the Union Pacific be-,
t ween The Dalles and Portland of any
other road . in the world. . I presume
that if they knew the rotten condition of
all the old trestles on which they pass
over every day they would not be quite
so much so, for they really do carry their
lives over on a mere piece of cobweb,
when they go over such trestles.
Mrs. Capt. . McNulty was a guest of
Mr. Edgar Husbands and Mr. J. J.
Lynch on Thursday the 19th.
Mr. Nevens, a grange lecturer, deliv
ered a lecture in the Columbia grange
on Tuesday evening the 24th inst.
I wish to state that the Mosier grange
meets next Saturday November 28th,
which is a regular" meeting and I .also
want to say to all the brothers and
sisters that they must turn out as there
are hopes of work to be done. One or
two members are also to be taken in.
Don't forget to rouic out, fori am a cor
respondent from Mosier grange and
want something to talk about. M. G.
