'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by new pipes" consist exactly of six blocks in length the oldest and all the oldest pipes in the city, and they have been replaced by larger pipes as a matter of necessity.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. NORTHWEST NEWS.

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. .
