The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
A telegram from Washington informs
us that" Senator Allen is preparing a bill
to provide for the repayment to settler
within the forty-mile limit of forfeited
lands of the Northern Pacific road' all
money oyer $1.25 an acre. The price
paid for all lands proved up by cash en
tries was $2.50 an acre. Now that the
hinds comprising the odd sections have
been forfeited to the government and
settlers on these lands allowed to pur
chase them at $1.25 an acre, it ia only
. just and right that those who made cash
entries within the railroad limits, years
ago, and through toil and privation yave
value to the surrounding lands, should
be put on an equality with those who
cume later when the lands had become
more valuable.
The Spokane Review gives the follow
ing eenr-ible bit of advice to farmers who
feel that they are entitled to greater rep
tesentntion in the control of the" gov
ernment. Take the primaries of the
old parties into your own hands and see
that farmers are sent to the conventions.
That done, there will be no difficulty
in sending more farmers to congress.
This would not exactly suit the political
farmers who have been running the al
liance into the ground and perverting its
purpose, hut it would be more satisfac
tory to the agricultural farmers.
"There are three things," said a
gentlemen of this city yesterday, in the
hearing of the writer, "that during the
past year have done more for The Dalles
and Wasco county and are. calculated to
do more for them in the future than
anything they ever possessed' and these
three are the Regulator, The Dalles
water system and the Chboniclk.
" The ft-lly of banking too much on
what politicians will do is well illustrated
in the case of those tariff reform papers
that "went their whole pile" on Mills
for speaker and contended that his de
feat would indicate an aLaudonment of
the true democratic poeitiou on the
tariff question. What will these gentle
men phv nmi ?

city all the time, but when he does
write one it looks so funny. It's all
filled with marks like this, 't ,' and then
he makes character ands,' like '&,' and
pute a ring around them. And then at
the end of all his sentences he puts a
croes like this, 'x.' Then when he
makes a figure, he makes a ring around
it and always draws two lines under his
signature. And sometimes he draws a
line down through capital letters, and
once crossed a word out and then drew a
ring around it and marked it 'stet.' It's
awful funny. I can't make anything
out of it."
"My dear," said the married woman,
as quietly as her excitement would al
low, "have you no suspicions?"
"Suspicions!" exclaimed the beauti
ful voung girl in alarm. "No, no. Of
what?"
"Has he never confessed?" persisted
the married woman with Spartan firmness.
"George confess!" cried the fair
maiden.
"Martha, you alarm me! Are they
counterfeiters' marks?"
"Worse," was the solemn answer.
"Ether, your husband will be out
nights. He will come in at all hours
Most of his work will be done under the
cover of darkness. He will miss his
dinners and will be constantly changing
the hours. He cannot be depended on
to be at home at any certain time.
Ethel, the man you are engaged to is a
newspaper man!"
"No, no, it cannot be!", cried the
dark-eyed beauty. "I will not believe
it!"
"Ethel!" she was very impressive,
"did he ever draw a straight line
through all the pages of a letter?"
"Yes, and it was one of the best he
ever wrote."
"Alas ! Ethel, it is too true. He is a
newspaper man, and he has absent
mindedly, put in the marks for the
printer. Poor girl ! Try as lie might
he couldn't conceal his identity."
Then the young girl cried "Horrible!"
and burst into tears and refused to be
comforted.

"Uncle" Jason is a negro preacher,
who, in his way, is as original as Sam
Jones. He recently preached a sermon
in which he said that during a trance he
was taken to heaven and while there he
saw the Methodists, the Presbyterians
and the Episcopalians "way off to one
side."
"An' whar wur de Baptist?" asked a
brother in the congregation.
"Dey wur rite at dc throne," said
TJncle Sason. . ' '
"How dey cum dar?"
"Well, de Lawd say de Baptls' am

'em whar he kin git hands on 'em."
A Young Toagh. ,
From the Detriot Free Press:
A small boy on Sixth street hates the
washing process worse than snakes hate
liquor. His mother was scrubbing him
and he was kicking.
"Why don't you be a ' good boy?" she !
begged. "Don't you know you'll go to
the bad place if you are not?" I
"There ain't any water there, is
there?" he asked.
"Not a drop," she answered, solemnly.
''Then I guess I'll keep on being bad.'"
and lie kept on.
The Salt Lake Tribune says: "Oregon
is in some respects a greater state than
California. In many species of fruit
she is superioi to California; she has
immense wheat fields, endless ranges
and no end of timber."

How to Get Ice.
Last winter we had a new experience
in putting up ice, which, perhaps, will
be of interest. The ice crop was short,
and when oar, supply was about .half
Btored, the la grippe came among us,
and by the time .it went away the
weather was not suitable for making ice.
This jive' Mr. L. a chance to work out a
theory wlm-h he had in mind for years,
namely : ' He took drifted snow and put
it into the kre-iwmse. packing each load
and wetting it with water-from the well,
finishing up' each night with all the
water the snow would take. When full
and frozen it was covered with sawdust,
the same a ice. The house is not a
TMrfet-t one l.v anv means, still the sr
lasted till used uf. which was the 20th
of Sentember." The verdict is that snow
is preferred to hauling ice far. Orange

"It is "rather illegible," was the reply.

quick response. "He puts such funny
