The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
, That tliere was reason for the creation
of the state board of equalization is seen
by a comparison of the assessment rolls
as receive! from the several counties of
the staU-. These rolls come to the secre
tary of state in all' conditions, showing
that no two county assessors have the
same understanding of the assessment
law, perform their work in the same
fflSMon, or put anything like the same
valuation n property of the same kind.
In adjoining counties horses are as
sessed at if 10 or $50, as the whim of the
assessor may dictate. In some counties
horses are assessed at $53.44 and in
others at only $i9.4S. The highest as
sessment per head on cattle is $17.35
and the lowest $10. The different as
sessors value sheep all the way from
4 1 .05 to $2 per head and the swine from
$1 40 to $4.0it. Is there any justice or
equity in this? And the assessors are
all operating under the same law.
Statesman.
The English tories propose to give the
government aid in its eifbtts to increase
the number of small land proprietors in
Great Britain. A few of the owners of
large estates express their willingness to
sell but among the more radical element
there is a growing feeling that the. land
for which the proprietors paid nothing
and which was a gift from the crown to
some favorite and in many cases the re
ward of dishonor and debasement should
return without compensation .to the
people and be divided among the actual
cultivators.
GKXKKAL NEWS.
Prank Perkins, who has been a resi--dent
of Squaw creek ten years, eloped
three weeks ago with a girl adopted
. aVout two y:;ars ago by the Perkins fam
ily, deserting his wife and seven little
-children. A short time ago he had' the
a lamantine cheek, brazen audacity, un
diluted, unadulterated nail, or whatever
yo'i please to term it, to write to his
" wife asking her to forward the girl's
liunk to Wciser, says the Idaho World.
It now transpires that there are as
, many ways of making rain as there are
K of killing cuts. Pryeufurth bombards
the sky with explosives: Melbourne

Professor Black of the Kansas State uni
"Yefsitv comes forward with an, entirely
''new theory. He has aa idea that Dry
enfurth succeeds by reason of the dust
kicked up by his bombardment and not
bv the concussion of the clouds. There
fore he proposes to supply rain by firing
carbon, sulphur and silica dust, into the
air. Kansas has a large and varied erop
of cranks this year. ' ,
last rriitity night an Indian was
drowned in the Columbia river near the
month of the little White Salmon. It
seems there was a dance to bo given at
William's place that evening and the
boats went over from this sidd. Indian
Peter was in the rear boat, though but a
short distance behind his friends, and
alone. The w nd was blowing quite
hard and ttie river was verv rough
. When near the shore, and beatinir down
aeainst the wind the sail jibed, thrown g
Peter out. He called twice bnt his

a good swimmer he was weighted down
with a henvv overcoat, and sunk in a

The railroad men are determined to
. have their own -way. - Recognizing the
"dictatorial power oT the people ove
railway management," they are organ
izingr railway employes' clubs In differ
ent states, pledged to vote against can
didates .who want railroads regulated.
They contemplate forming a railroad
party, representing railroad share hold
era ami employes, it will not nominate
candidates, but "hold and exercise the
balance of power at the polls as between
the two dominant political parties." It
is claimed that the two classes of per
sons named have about 2,000,000 votes,
andthat in allied trades and industries
dependent on the railroads, there are
2,000,000 more. It is a bold scheme.
The organizations oi farmers and other
laborers have come none too-soon.

Register John D.' Geoghegan, of the :
Vancouver land office,' gives an opinion I
of intersst to hundreds of settlers .In
Washington and Oregon. ' The question
was: "Are settlers who resided on un
surveyed land prior to the repeal of the
pre-emption' laws, still permitted to so
file, the land having been recently sur
veyed?" Register Geoghegan " writes :
"I answer yes to. the above question.
Settlement "is the initiation of pre
emption. If this initiatory step were
taken previous to the repeal of the pre
emption laws,- and is followed up with
filing of a declaratory statement as soon
a? the land is surveyed, I am of the
opinion that the filing must be allowed."
Sermon by Telephone In England.
The transmission' of sermons by tele
phone to. those who from various causes
are unable to attend church services,
which was experimented with in Eng
land last year, has turned out so success
ful that steps are being taken to extend
its use on a large scale. Provided with
the receiver specially used, it is said that
invalids can hear perfectly while in bed.
In a quiet room the tolling of the bell
before service is distinctly audible,-the
prayers can be" followed, the responses
emphasized and every word of the ser
mon distinguished, while solos in the
r anthem are heard as distinctly as in the
church.
iwenty-iour calls were recently re
ceived at the telephone office for connec
tion with a local church in an English
town, and as the number of subscribers
there probably numbered not more than
sixty, it is evident that the privilege of
hearing the sermonwithout going to the
church for it was appreciated. In many
of the large towns in England, especially
in Manchester, Nottingham, Stafford,
Wolverhampton, the church telephone
service has come to be quite an institu
tion. New .York. Recorder.
