The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
THE ORGAN OF THE 'RUMP.
A few days ago. the Chronicle whs
obliged to rebuke the Wascom Sun for
officious meddling with a little matter
that in no way concerned it. The
Chronicle thought that even if the Sun
were an apologist of the Union Pacific it
ought to have sense enough not to inter
fere with a journal that was fighting
honestly and sincerely for the interests
of the people from whom, both papers
largsly draw their support. The Sun
has seen fit to reply in language so ut
terly low and degrading that probably
the annals of American journalism has
never seen its parallel. The editor of
the Chronicle thoroughly understands
the animus of the attack. The Sun is
owned and controlled by a little clique
of politicians, the "rump" of a ring that
has controlled the affairs of this county
for a score of years and whose power was
never so much as shaken till the Chron
icle routed them, horse foot and dra
goons, at the last city election. Another
election is approaching, and the "rump"
well knows that so longas the Chronicle
is under its present management the
ring has no favors to expect or receive.
The editor of the Sun is the mouthpiece
of the ring. It is well known that the
paper has passed from undqr tne con
trol of its original purchasers. It is no
secret that when the Chronicle was in
the thick of the late contest with the
Union I'uuiuc the editor of the Sun was
entreated by leading citizens, etock
. holders and directors of the paper, to
fall in lino and work for the people s
interests. The request was refused, and
during all the critical weeks when the
success of the people's boats was trem
bling in the balance that journal never
opened its mouth except to apologize for
the railroad company. To deny this
charge is to fly in the teeth of facts and
History Hie bun was tied hand and
foot and dare not lift a finger against the
enemies of the people. The "rump" con
trolled it and hired the present editor to
do their work. It is no secret that Mr.
George P. Morgan was forced to give up
the editorial charge of the paper be
cause the management refused to pub
lish articles he had written in defense of
the people's rights as opposed to Union
Pacific oppression. It is no answer to
.these statements of fact to abuse the ed
itor of the Chronicle, or say he is a can
didate for a county office or that he was
discharged from the management of the
Chronicle or that he is a low-born cur
-and a pitiful liar. All this abuse may
puss. The facts as to the Sun remain if
' the editor of the Chronicle were seek
ing to be president of the United States,
as tired from the employ of the Chron
icle Publishing company and was the
meanest man on earth. But the editor
-never was discharged from this or any
Dther employment. The charge, how
ever, is not new. We have heard it be
fore and allowed it to go uncontradicted j
because we were unwilling to drag mat
ters before the public with which they
were in no way concerned. When th
Sun would hold up the editor of Chron
icle to public contempt as one who was
ignoiuinously kicked out of the service
of the Chronicle and then-begged to be
taken back, it is perhaps time to speak.
The statement is false 'in every detail.
From the first hour we took charge of
this journal :ill the present moment
there lias never been a misunderstand
ing between the editor and board of di
rectors. - He was never discharged, and
never requested to resign. .The condi
tions of the office at one time were such
'that he refused to conduct the paper un
less they were removed.' The desired
change was made and the editor was re
quested to return to his work. There
'was nothing in the resignation or the
yeturu that was not honorable both to
the editor and the board of directors.
The Sun will have to look somewhere
else for capital for contempt. In seek
ing to injure the Chronicle the effort
will recoil npon itself. .A paper that
does not command the respect of the
men who sunk their money in it is not
likely to get much respect from the out
side world. A ' paper which is low
enough to become the organ of the
"ruiup" or that would becoma the open
apologist of the Union Pacific, for the
sake o' a little advertising or a few
cheitp paKi-s is nut worthy cf ri-njx'ct
and woi.t jet any.

Greatexcitement prevails at Anacortes
because the city council recounted the
votes cast at the recent election, throw
ing but 64 ballots, counting out the suc
cessful candidate and declaring six of
their own number re-elected.
The people of Ritzville 'are strenuous
in their efforts to secure the erection of a

county are as strenuously opposed to
burdening tne taxpayers witn. any more
taxes than they aj ready have.
Indian Agent Hal Cole says the full
list of Indians on theCoeurd' Alene res
ervation has been forwarded to Wash

soon.
While J. P. Ryan was going to Astoria
from his ranch on the Walluski, he
found a man lying dead in the road. It
was Elmer Parsons, a Nehalmet rancher,
who drank too deeply in Astoria, went
to sleep on the road home and perished
from exposure.
Orlando Evans, Berry Evans and Pat
Wall, of Elgin, are in the countv jail at
Union, charged with grand larceny
The opinion prevails about Elgin that
they are the leaders of a gang organized
for the purpose of pillaging the settlers'
houses in the Looking Glass country on
Grand Ronde river, below Elgin. A
number of houses have been broken into
and furniture, bedding, clothing, etc,
taken. Thev were taken before Justice
Burleigh, and on examination held in
the sum of 500 each. Berrv' and Or-
lands Evans are father and son.
Unlman & Co., of San Francisco, have
brought suit against Parsons & Linton,
of Lane county, to recover about $3000
on a hop contract; A year ago last fall
Uhlman & Co., contracted earlv in the
season for fhe crop of hops raised by
these gentlemen. Later in the season
the price of hops raised considerably and
the hops were again contracted" this
time to another firm, The amount sued
for is the difference between the contract
price of the hops and their value at the
eelling tim.
C. O. Bean, who had made a prelimi
nary survey for a water supply from the
Green river for Tacoma, says he has
found gravel with logs buried therein far
up the slides of the Puyallup arid White
river banks. This leads hiui to believe
that the channels of those rivers have in
former years tjeen filled to a much
greater depth t'aan the present genera
tion knows anything about. Floods
causing such swelling of the volume of
water above indicated, Mr.- Bean be
lieves, have changed the channels of the
rivers in numerous instancee, and he
refers to the fact that the White river is
at Slaughter fifty feet above parts of the
surrounding valley.
Fixed to the Kail by Electricity.
A very peculiar case of shocking by
electricity occurred in Shelbyville re
cently. The victim was William Lou
den, who works at the Hotel Bay. In
front of the hotel is an iron veranda
running to the third story. An electric
wire passes from the street into the room
occupied by George Goulding in the
hotel building. This evening when the
electric light was turned on a heavy
rain was falling. The electricity appar
ently had heavily charged the iron ver
anda. Louden came out of the hotel
and stood with his back against the iron
railing. In an instant he was shocked
and fixed in his position. His frightful
yells attracted a big crowd. Charles
Huffman ran out of his store, and, touch
ing Louden, was also badly shocked.
Louden finally fell on the 'sidewalk. The
two men' are badly burned. Cor. In

' Almost Drowned In Sawdust.
Men have lost their lives in quick
sands, but seldom, if ever, has any man
come nearer sinking down to death in
quick sawdust than did Merchant Tailor
E. W. Batzle, of "Williamsport. Walk
ing along eight or ten . yards from the
river bank, npon what he did not know
was made ground almost entirely com
posed of sawdust, he began to sink be
fore he realized any danger. After he
had gone down to his waist, and could
Lnot regain the shore, he removed his
Trorjer garments and Threw inmself as
fast as possible out into the river, -where
he struck wading ground and made his
way in the water around the treacherous
sawdust tract. Cor. Philadelphia Rec

Although the district school in Hoi--loway,
Conn., was tightly closed during
the vacation, there was one caller that
kicked up a rumpus. It was a thunder
bolt, but where it entered can only bo !
conjectured. During its short stay it !
passed through a wide range of studies, ,
including spelling, reading, grammar, j
arithmetic and geography. Besides
throwing new light upon the books
treating On these subjects, it tore up the
floor, splintered the desks and in its ex
citing exit carried off part of the win
dow sash. Yankee Blade.
Pretty Good Fay for a Physician. .
William K. Vanderbilt, not feeling
very well the other day, decided to take
a trip to Europe, and he wanted a physi-
i cian to go with him. The doctor said he
could not afford to leave bis practice,
i which was worth $1,000 a week. Mr.
j Vanderbilt offered to give him $10,000 to
make a trip of six weeks with him, and
the offer was accepted. New York Cor.
