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. George E. Walsh in New
York Epoch.
The Largest State.
You may always depend upon a boy
knowing a great deal more than any
body else and saying it right out. A
Detroit school teacher the other day
tackled a ten-year-old pupiL
"What is the largest state in the
Union?" she asked. .
"Matrimony," answered the boy
promptly, and the teacher has been won

"Did you ever get licked while you
were a boy, papa?" asked Johnny.
"No," said papa emphatically.
"How was that?" queried Johnny sus

runner in "the whole school." Harper's

The hair on the orang's upper arm points
