The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
The Salem Journal is in favor of abol
ishing the present labor contract system
of the state penitentiary and contends
that the convicts might, with great
ing with free labor, be eniDloved in con
structing durable wagon roads in those
places in behalf of which bills were
passed at the last legislature which the
law has since declared unconstitutional.
The Journal's idea seems to be that the
state might hire out the convicts to the
several counties that might desire their
services, at a low price, say 25 cents a
day and in this way needed public im
provements might be made in districts
that are too poor to have the work done
at the regular wages of free labor. The
suggestion of the Journal is good every
way except in the matter of practicabil
ity. Roads are badly needed in many
places, especially in Eastern Oregon,
where it is not possible for the scattered
population nor the counties to build
them, but how wcnld it be possible to
herd a bnnd of convicts night and day
away from prison walls and bolts and
bars, so that they would not escape?
And supposing this difficulty could be
overcome could the state compel a con
vict who had been sentenced to confine
ment within the walla of the state peni
tentiary to come up to Wasco county
and spend three months building a grade
up Tygh hill? It is possible that some
of them would be glad to get out into
the air and snnRhinn Vint irn,,u :t k

quarto. This will give our weekly
edition about one fourth more reading
matter or what will be equal to nine
columns of the daily or five columns of
the weekly. In this form it will contain
vastly more reading matter fhan any
.paper published in these parts while the
4rice will remain unchanged. The
Chronicle proposes to keep ahead of the
times and not simply abreast. We hope
these efforts to make the paper still
more valuable to its many readers will
lie duly appreciated, and result in a
largely increased ' subscription list.
Though not a year old the Chronicle
has a larger list of readers in Wasco and
Sherman counties than any other paper
published in these counties, and its list
is constantly increasing. ' The CnBONi--cle
is no longer an experiment in jour
nalism. Its success is assured. It has
come to stay and it will labor to make
itself worthy of support.
A third party crank named Galnani,
who lives somewhere in Washington
county, Oregon, gets off. the following in
the Northuett Ileform Journal on the
law a law by the way that exists
everywhere and is absolutely just and
right that compels a man to pay his
honest debts: "Oh, cruel and lawless
law ! The man whose brain conceived
such an infamy ought to be consigned
for everlasting into the depths of hell
and damnation." This is reform with a
vengance get into- debt all you can and
then damn the laws that compel yon to
pay it. It is, just such. idiots as this
gentleman with , the Dago cognomen
that have made the so-called "reform"'
movement a byword, and themselves a
laughing stock.
"Speaking of the rumored candidacy of
Joseph Simon for United States circuit
judge, the Salem Journal aaks : "Doe's
any republican pretend for instance that
the appointment of Joseph Simon of
Portland will strengthen, unify' and
popularize the republican - party of
Oregon." We should think not. Still
if Joe could be disposed of almost any
way the party would, not suffer much.
