THE CHRONICLE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE. Twelve months azo today the first number of The Dalles Wekkly Chroni cle was issued and today its publishers send forth to the world the first number of its second volume. The story of its origin needs no rehiersal here. Suffice it that the merchants and business men of The Dalles believed there was a mis sion in the field of journalism in this city yet unoccupied and the Chronicle was started to ' fulfill that mission. It was never intended to be the vehicle of a faction or the organ of a party. Its founders were no disgruntled politicians nor disappointed office-seekers but bus iness men whose interests were bound up with and inseparable from the in terests of the whole community. It is with no desire to stir up unpleasant rec ollections that we remind our readers that before the advent of the Chronicle the press of this citv had descended to the level of a narrow ana miserable fac tionalism where it is still bound as firmly as the prince of darkness in the vision of the apocalypse. The rights of the major portion of the community were ignored and the columns of at least one journal teemed with daily denunciations of everything and everybody who could not pass the censorship of its imperial boss. In this unhappy condition the Chronicle became the child of neces sity. It had to be born. A "field of use fulness, wholly unoccupied, lay opfen before it and how well it has fulfilled its mission, let the record of the pa9t. year testify. On political questions, about which men may honestly differ, the Chronicle has sought to guide rather than to lead, but on all questions affect ing the material interests of The Dalles and of the empire from which the Chronicle draws its support, it has aimed to bo honest, unselfish and fear less. And it has the supreme satisfac tion of knowing that its labors in the people's interests have been appreciated. Twelve months ugo today the Chronicle was launched upon the eea of journalism without a solitary subscriber. Today its daily and weekly editions have a larger number of subscribers than any -one possible exception. Before the Chronicle was six months old its circu lation in Wasco and adjoining counties had outnumbered its local contemporar ies ione 01 wnicn started into lite over 30 venrg mid sinoA thpn rvinattint v 0 . - and almost daily accessions have been made to its subscription list. This is -said in no spirit of idle boasting. It is a statement of fact and a record of which ny journal may be proud. The. pub lishers of the Weekly Chronicle have so far appreciated the patronage it has received that they send out the first number of its second volume in a new and enlarged form. Thechange involves an addition equal to njne columns of reading matter equal to its present size, but the price remains the same, while the volume of utws furnished weekly to its subscribers vastly exceeds that of any of its local contemporaries. We need scarcely add that it is confidently ex pected that this last effort to make the Chronicle more worthy of public sup port will be duly appreciated and that large editions will in consequence be made to its subscription list and adver tising patronage. One of the half dozen copies published by our evening contemporary, by the merest fatuity, fell into our hands this morning and from it we clip the follow ing: "It was rumored today that the Baker had tied up for the winter ; but the report could not be traced to any official source. After diligent inquiry we were informed that the boat was stopped for repairs." The report could have been "traced to an official source, if anvbodv had taken the trouble. It did nottake the least bit of "diligent in quiry" for the. Chronicle to discover, and that from the highest official source n these parts, that the Baker has been ordered to be tied up and that she- will be removed to her winter quarters at Crate's Point this afternoon. The Oregunian believes therrf id no poscilile liope of getting an appropria tion for a portage railway in Oregon from a democratic congress, nor, it might have added, from any other congress. When Senator Dolph addressed the people of The Dalles, while on a visit here last sum mer, he distinctly pointed out the diffi culty of getting congress to make any im provements not of a permanent nature. He said it was contrary to all precedent. A portage railroad at best was only a temporary expedient and congress was not accustomed to deal in anything short of permanent works. But if Governor Pennoyer can persuade Speaker Crisp and a de :iocratic congress to depart from congressional precedent for just this once the people of the Inland Empire will be devoutly thankful." In that case we won't look a gift horse in the mouth.' It looks now as if Simon will not be appointed to the federal judgeship. It appears certain that strong protests have been sent in against the appoint ment and tnat they have bad their effect. This is good news with only one alloy. If Simon does not get the judgeship he will remain as a curse to the republicans of Oregon. A Progressive Toons; Man. An amusing incident happened in one of the local churches on Sunday morn ing. A young married man and his rather limited family went to divine services, and when seated they did not fill the pew into which they had been ushered. Presently another family came, and were ushered into the same pew, the young married 'man stepping into the aisle to let them in. The new comers filled the pew, and the y. m. m. took the seat ahead. He had hardly become set tled than he again found it necessary to get up while another family filed, into the pew, occupying all of it. Once more did the y. m. m. ga forward. A hymn was evsg, a prayer offered, and the Scripture reading had com menced when still another family came up tne aisle; and the y. mi m. once more stepped into the aisle only to see that pew, too, completely filled up. Again he went forward, but by this time the services were well .under way and no more people came. To this latter fact alone does the y. m. m. attribute his failure to reach the anxious seat at that service. Buffalo Express. Inventions and Farm Machinery. Every trade, profession and employ ment can show hundreds of inventions which have brought fortunes to the in ventors. In agriculture the inventors have made a complete revolution. Work that was done by. hand in a very la borious way dozens of years ago is now done in one-third of the time by steam and machinery. Even within the memory of living farmers there . has been such a trans formation in their work that their meth ods appear antiquated and useless. Hun dreds of new inventions in the same line are annually - being patented, - and the farming of the future will be reduced to such a science that one is unable to pre-, diet how our crops will be raised and harvested.

The hair on the orang's upper arm points downward, while on the lower arm it points upward, the apparent purpose be ing to shed the rain like a thatch.
