The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the. Associated
Press Dispatches.
Portland ia considerably excited over
a minor that the state board of equaliz
ation is going to double the assesnent
of Multnomah county. The Oregonian
is out with an earnest protest that ia
just about aa weak in the line of argu
ment as anything can well be. The fact
that Multnomah pays one-third of all
the state tax has' nothing to do with the
case. ' It ia simply a question of what
that county ought to pay aa its just and
equitable proportion. The Oregonian
threatens to bring the matter into the
courts, in case the assessment is dou
bled. We hope such threats will not
deter the board from doing it8 duty. It
has loi been notorious that property
in Portland has been assessed out of aH
proportion to its true value and no one
has exposed the iniquity more vigor
ously than the Oregonian itself. A
prominent member of the state board is
reported to have said that "the reports
of all other counties show that they have
been assessed at 50 to 75 per cent, of the
full cash value, and all counties will be
raised up to full cash value." The board
ia of the opinion that Multnomah is
assessed lower than any property of
the same nature in the state." If
this is true the board will not be doing
its duty if it does not raise the assess
ment of Multnomah to an equality .with
the other co'unties:
The latest news from Washington is
not very encouraging to those who are
looking for liberal appropriations for the
Columbia river. Bit said that "Objector"
Holm an has offered to reduce theexpend
itures $160,000;000 in return for being
made chairman of the committee on ap
propriations. Among the items be pro
poses to cut off is the river and harbor
bill. ' If this program is carried out
Oregon will suffer more than any other
state. It-may be true, as Senator Frye
says, that there are too many public
works in progress and too much damage
to follow such a course, for congress to
refuse to appropriate for these measures,
but it will not be nt all surprising if the
partisan clamor against the last congress
for its "extravagance" in making euch
appropriations as- Oregon needs and
which all the states that shared in them
.deemed as necessary as we did. should
3mve its effect, and no river and harbor
.bill be passed this session.
. We clip the following from an eastern
paper, and k is as true in Oregon as in
Ohio: "Farmers sometimes envy men
who live ia cities and manage vast en
terprises which yield them great wealth.
But the farmer often gets out of his
farm what the rich man cannot buy.
Mr. J. D. Uockefeller is said to have the
largest income of any man in America,
but during the last summer he has
worked diligently on an Ohio farm,
plowing, planting, sawing wood, shov
eling earth for roadways and gathering
in the harvest. After four months of
this life he has changed from what
threatened to be a physical wreck to a
healthy s man. After all, there is no
more independent, and in many res
pects, no more attractive life, than that
f a prosperous tanner."
Twenty-five thousand ladies of Boston
have determined to close all stores and
places of business employing female
help? after 5 o'clock p. m. They have
entered into an agreement to 'do no
shopping after that hour and hope by
this means to relieve their working sis
ters from excessive hours. This is an
entirely practical way of meeting this
unnecessary evil. When customers cease
buying goods at unreasonably late hours
. merchants will have no inducements to
keep open and clerks will reap, the bene
fit of shorter hours. -

Portland, Dec. 12. The trial of
Larry Sullivan and Dick Carrou of

to desert from the British ship Bnchleach
resulted today in their acquittal.
. The Chicago Anarchists Appeal.1'
Chicago, Dec. 11. The sixteen an

Riley a a Scotch Tradesman.
Eugene Field In the Chicago lews.
James Whiteomb Riley went to Europe
last summer. On the return voyage an
incident happened which is well worth
telling. To beguile the tedipusness of
the voyage it was proposed to give a
concert in the saloon of the ship an
entertainment to which all capable of
amusing their fellow-voyagers should
coutribute. Mr. Eiley was asked to
recite some of hia original poems, and,
of course, he cheerfully agreed to do so.
Among the number present at this mid
ocean 'entertainment, over which the
Rev. Myron Reed presided, were two
Scotchmen, very worthy gentlemen en
route from the land o' cakes to the land
of biscuits upn a tour of investigation.
The twain shared their enthusiasm with
which the auditor applauded Mr. Riley's
charming recitations. They marveled
that so versatile a genius "could have
arisen in a land reputed for uncouthness
and savagery.
"Is it no wonderfu' 'Donal'," remarked
one f these braw Scots, "that a trades
man suld be sic a bonnie poet?"
"And is he indeed a tradesman?"
asked the other.
," 'Deed ia he," answered the other.
"Did ye no hear the dominie intryjuce
him as the hoosie poet?- Just think of
it, mon just think o' sic a. guide poet
dividing his time at making' hoosiery !"
One Was Enough.
A man while fishing suddenly fell into
the water. A fellow fisherman of benev
olent aspect promptly helped him out,
laid him on his back and then began to
scratch his head in a puzzled way.
"What's the matter?" asked the by
standers. " vv hy don t you revive
him?"
"There are sixteen rules to revive
di owned persons," said the benevolent
man, "and I know 'em all ; but I can't
call to mind which comes first.
At this point the rescued man opened
hia eves and said faintly: "Ia there
anything about giving brandy in the
rules f " .
"Yes."
"Then never mind the other fifteen.'

Oregon Wheat.
M. W. Belshaw of Farmington carrie
the honors of the champion wh ea
grower of the world. At the Oregon
state fair he has taken first premium for
fifteen successive years. In the state
house of Salem hangs a silver medal
taken by the state of Oregon over all
competitors at the world's fair ot Paris
in 1S89 with Mr. Belshaw's wheat, and
at the Centennial exposition at Phila
delphia in 1876 and the New Orleans
exposition he carried away highest hon
ors. Mr Belshaw has enteied every
wheat competition of note -for the last
fifteen years and has never yet turned
away with less than the blue ribbon,
and confidently expects to come away
from the world's fair at Chicago tri

This is the way .stock may be grown
in the Palouse. The Rosalia Hustler
says: "George A. Sly, living near
Rosalia, butchered a fat hog last week
at his farm which should have been al
lowed to live and put on exhibition at
the. world's fair. Last Saturday Mr.
Sly brought to town a portion of the
pig, consisting of 170 pounds of sausage,
240 pounds of lard and 161 pounds of
meat, which he disposed of, realizing
therefor $43.25. Besides this, he has re
tained for his own use about 200 pounds
of meat, not counting the animal's
head." '

Oh, , He Wasn't Afraid.
This particular boy has just come to
Detroit to live, and, he went to the high
school for a preliminary examination,
and he'went along with just a note of
introduction froui his mother. . You
know a boy at fourteen is usually all
arms and all legs and self sufficiency,
and this one was no exception to. the
rule. He wasn't troubled with any
doubta about hia studies, but hia mother
waa. She took the role of the figurative
hen who flutters on the brink when her
ducklings go in to swim. .
Well, when the duckling came home
he swaggered in and told bis family in
an offhand manner that it was all right,
you know. Then his mother quizzed
him as to details, and asked him if he
didn't feel badly about going there alone,
and ' when he said no to that she ex
pressed her surprise, and then her Solon
ended the discussion.
"I wasn't afraid, mother, because, you
see, I knew that I knew what I knew,
and when a feller knows that he knows
what he knows, the whole board of edu
cation can't bluff him." Detroit Free
Press.
Not So Monotonous. .
"Your life must be. very monotonous,'
said Gus De Smith, looking in the win
dow of the Austin postoffice at the clerk
stamping letters.
"What makes yon think ao?
'It would drive me crazy to be ever
lastingly pounding letters with a hand
stamp. It's the same thing over and
over every day."
"Oh, no. it's not," replied the clerk.
"Yesterday I waa stamping 27 on the
letters, today it's 28 and tomorrow 111
be stamping the 29ta of the month, so'
yon see it's not so monotonous after all."
