'STILL HARPING ON MY DA TIGH
TER.''
One of the half dozen copies published
daily from the Times-Mountaineer- office
aceicentally leu into our hands this
morning and from it we see that the edi
tor is still living in the remote past,
chewing the cud of bitter retrospection
and threshing old straw that has not
yielded a kernel of grain for the last two
years. In spite of everything The
Dalles today has a water system second
to none on the Pacific coast, judged by
the quality of the water or in anv
other way. The mains that the Moun
taineer saya have "nearly all to be
replaced by new pipes" consist exactly
of six blocks in length the oldest and
all the oldest pipes in the city, and they
have been replaced by larger pipes as a
matter of necessity. Only six block's
length, and yet the Times-Mountaineer
says "nearly all the old mains have to
be replaced by new pipes." The Times
Mountaineer could not tell the truth
about our water system if it tried.
When u newspaper man is liberal
nothing on earth crii equal his liberal
ity. Day before Christmas the 'big
hearted editor of the Washington Inde
pendent announced to the country that
11 there were any sad hearts in the little
breasts because poverty and pinching
want forbid the entrance of the German
"Kris Kringgle" they should report to
him forthwith and they would be made
to rejoice if it topk his last cent and ex
hausted all the credit of the firm. It is
safe to say that this rememberance of
generosity was never put to the test.
We have received a communication
from Wamlc signed "Sympathizer"
which we will willingly publish if the
writer will forward his name to this of
fice, not necessarily for publication but
as a guarrantee that the statements
contained in the letter are true. We
cannot publish anything that reflects on
another without the assurance that the
reflections are founded on fact and even
then we must be allowed to judge of the
propriety of giving them to the public.
It was a singular fate that was re
rserved for a man named Pugh who died
on the Lnckimute in Polk conntv. last
Monday, coming from Dakota the home I
- of the blizzard and the land of the ev-!
Tslone. Pugh was frightened to death
because a little Chinook zephyr moved
''bis house from its foundation. He must
have forgotten, for the moment that he
ae in Oregon.
The Keeley drunkeness cure is to be
tested in court on the suit of an inebriate
who paid $150 on a pledge that he
should be cured, which was not done.
He wants $1200 for the damage done to
bis constitution by the treatment. An
exchange says that incidentally this
suit may raise the question whether an
incurable drunkard has $1200 worth of
constitution. ' i-- .
There is a touch of deep pathos in the
following from the Long Creek Eagle,
published on Christmas day: .
Today we "prints" ail take a rest.
We have no chicken for the occasion, no,
not even many' other luxuries our
neighbors enjoy. Too many delin
quents. . . . ." ; . . .; . .
The Washington 'Independent says
that Washington City is the most cor
rupt place outside of hell.

Forty tons of good grain hay sold un
der the hammer in this city last week
for $2 per ton, this being the first and
only bid. It was not the desire of the
purchaser to take it even at that price.
This same hay may command $10 per
ton before spring. Long Creek Eagle.
The Wallowa canyon, from the bricTge
on the Wallowa river to its junction
with the Grand Rondo river, is the
hunters' paradise. The recent snow in
the mountains has caused the deer to
come down into the small ravines and
breaks that lead into the canvon, and
they are very plentifal. .
