A Free Ride on tbe Baker "With Meals
:.' Thrown In.
Last week a gentleman of The .Dalles
whVft&nployed at the Cascade Locks
sent up word to-bWwife and two child
ren in this city to join him at the locks
on a trip to Portland. For economy's
sake, it is to be presumed, the lady and
her little family shipped on the Baker
last Monday morning. When the boat
came in sight on the state portage in
cline she was duly flagged but for some
reason, unknown to our informant, Bhe
refused to land on the Oregon side.
When the Baker arrived at her own
wharf they offered to take the lady and
her children across inja skiff bat the lady
promptly refused and demanded to be
landed or have her fare returned, pro
vided with dinner for three and be
carried back to The Dalles. Dinner
was duly served and when the boat
started on her retnrn trip they offered
to land her on the Oregon side but it
was now her turn to refuse as her hus
band was not in waiting on the wharf.
So the lady was paid back her money,
had a square meal for herself ahd child
ren and a round trip ticket all for noth
ing ; but she vows she will never sail on
the Baker again.
Served Him Exceedingly Right.
The same merchant whose store front
was labeled last Sunday morning with
the legend "This man ships his goods by
the Baker" had a little experience since
which if it did not teach a wholesome
lesson, made him use some vigorous
cuss words. He ordered from below ten
sacks of sugar, to be shipped by the
Baker, but it came by the cars. So in
stead of paying $1.50 the freight cost him
$3.75. Served him exceedingly right.
Now right here the Chronicle may just
as well be plain as not. There is no
remedy left for the people nothing they
can do, save let severely alone every
merchant who turns traitor to the best
interests of the people. When the mer
chants of this city are standing shoulder
to shoulder loyally, as one man, with
only one exception, in the support of the
Regulator the Chronicle does not pro
pose to be silent and allow that manor
any other man to reap an advantage
over the rest. If a merchant becomes a
traitor to the people for the sake of sav
ing 15 cents on a sack of sugar, let him
keep bis sugar. The people in that case
ought not to buy it and we greatly mistaek
their temper if they will.
The Sheep Industry
Everywhere the wool growers seem to
be triumphant, and the desire to quit
cattle and begin with sheep is becoming
almost a craze. With the decline of
cattle values in 1886 began an upward
tendency in mutton and wool, which has
resulted in a most wonderful prosperity
among sheep owners. Ana this pros
perity seems to be still on, says the Live
Stock Journal.
As a result, thousands of farmers and
ranchmen are converting their cattle
holdings into cash with a view of em
barking' in sheep husbandry. ' Sheep
raisers have made money all the time
since the advance above named, but
feeders have been compelled to work on
a pretty close margin during the past
year. The demand for feeders has been
so strong that theyBOld very close to
tneir rtpenea value. '
The sifirns of the honr point to
change of position in the two callings
witbin tlie next lew vears. with every
bodv running to sheep, the probability
of a heavy surplus production in the
near future is almost a certainty. A
surplus means a decline, just as resulted
irom the overproduction ot cattle
Secretary Rusk does some plain talk
ing in his annual report about the plac
ing of hides on the free list by the Mc-
Kinley tariff law. He says: "The
large quantities of hides which are being
shipped to the United States from for
eign countries, and are admitted free of
duty, have caused a great depreciation
in the prices realized- for hides of do
mestic production. This has had a very
marked tendency toward keeping down
the price of cattle, and has, consequently
added to the burdens of our agricultural
population." The. secretary recom
mends that the president take advan
tage of the reciprocity clause of the
McKinley law, which authorizes him to
restore the old duty upon hides shipped
from any country which shall not by
the first of January, 1892, have granted
equal concessions by the free admission
of the agricultural products of the
United States, to put the duty back
upon hides shipped from those countries
which have not entered into reciprocal
agreements with us.
Portland's gross assessment this year
rises to $65,000,000. That the enormity
of Portland's wealth may be understood,
let us figure. Portland has 68,000 peo
ple and according to the last assessment
this amount divided among her popula
tion would give to each $1,000. Divided
among, the 60,000,000 people of the
United States, each person would have
one dollar. When it is considered that
the average wealth of each person in
this country is but eight dollars, it may
readily be seen that Portland ia a very
great city in a point of wealth. Welcome .

iar rough cough is developed, which is
followed by tho croup. The time to act
is when the child first becomes hoarse ;
a few doses of Chamberlain's Cough
